Nintendo’s Financial Report for April 2021 to April 2022 was released this morning and while sales of Nintendo Switch hardware declined from their pandemic boost, the past year was one of the most successful on record for the Pokémon series. The sales of all four premium Pokémon games on the platform combined exceeded 34 million units, making it the most successful franchise on the platform for the year.

Announced back in April, Pokémon Go’s Water Festival kicks off this Thursday the 12th May at 10am local time and will see the debut of Dewpider, its evolution Araquanid, the Legendary Pokémon Tapu Fini and a special – potentially Shiny – costumed Lapras, wearing a dapper blue scarf.

The first of this summer’s 3 in-person Go Fest events kicks off on the 1st July in Berlin, and now we finally have a greater picture on what trainers who can make the trip can come to expect.

Additional details on what else to expect in Pokémon Go throughout the next month have been announced with the headlines being the debut of Tapu Fini in Tier 5 Raids, additional Mega Raids for Mega Blastoise and Mega Altaria, Season of Heritage reward hats being added to the in-game store and a brand new Buddy Widget.
