Pokémon Go Fest’s Surprise: Steps to Catch Tricky Pokemon

The latest second-generation mythical monster and the last to arrive in the game is Celebi.

This time, contrary to receiving Celebi as a gift just like Lugia, you need to earn it by completing a number of challenges and here is how you can do it.

First step

These research tasks are so simple even an average player can complete them. This is what you need to do:

  1. Catch 15 Pokémon
  2. While walking with your partner Pokémon earn a Buddy Candy
  3. Spin three PokéStops or Pokémon Gyms

To help with these tasks, Pokémon Go Fest will take place at Chicago’s Lincoln Park where you can find lots of PokéStops to run into and keep your Buddy Pokémon happy.

Second step

This one is a little tricky, and you might get frustrated but here is what you need to achieve:

  1. Catch ten grass-type Pokémon
  2. Catch ten rock-type Pokémon
  3. Catch ten fire-type Pokémon
  4. Catch ten ice-type Pokémon
  5. Catch ten water-type Pokémon
  6. Catch ten steel-type Pokémon

Because Pokémon Go Fest is made into four different “habitats ” with each one developed for a specific type of Pokémon, you might need to turn back if you have already passed half your 1.8-mile walk before you reach this phase and the warm weather does not really help.

Third and last step

As this is the final step, it is also the most difficult, but if you have come all the way up to this step, why not continue and get a Celebi?

  1. Hatch three Eggs
  2. Catch seven Unown
  3. Spin three PokéStops

Pokémon Go’s events are the best method of getting an Unown. They are a letter of the alphabet, and you need to catch enough of them to spell “Celebi.”

Not even hatching three Eggs is easy but if you really want this Pokémon good luck in completing all these tasks.

Poketoshi Allows The Bitcoin Community To Play Pokemon Using The Lightning Network

Want to play Pokemon with the Bitcoin community? Then, you should know that the Portuguese developer Joao Almeida created Poketoshi, an application for the Lightning Network micro-payment protocol that combines one of the versions of the Pokemon game with Bitcoin (BTC) payments protocol.

For its design, Almeida used OpenNode which is a service specialized in digital payment settlement for merchants using Lightning Network micro-payment protocol.

The developer shared some of the statistics generated by this application which in its first 24 hours online received 61,916 satoshis, through a total of 635 transactions.

Poketoshi allows the Bitcoin community to play Pokemon using the Lightning Network micro-payments protocol

This application is a kind of tribute to Twitch Plays Pokemon, a “social experiment” devised in 2014 by an Australian programmer who remained anonymous. Using the Twitch video game streaming platform, the idea was to allow users to play Pokemon indirectly.

The game was very successful and even holds the Guinness World Record for having “the highest number of participants in a single player online video game” with 1,165,140 users.

Poketoshi uses the same principle, but every move in the game must be paid for using the Lightning Network micro-payments protocol. The goal is to monetize the game so that the streaming service can pay for itself while allowing the Bitcoin community to use the micro-payment network directly.

100 satoshis for every move

The game’s interface has a Super Nintendo controller, through which players can make the game’s avatar moves, always by paying 100 satoshis, regardless of the button chosen.

The Portuguese developer said the original idea for the game was put forward by Nakamoto Institute President Michael Goldstein. The latter tweeted:

Lightning Network plays Pokemon. An experiment in social coordination using the skin of micropayment in the game. One satoshi per button,

In short, Poketoshi allows Bitcoin community to play Pokemon using the Lightning Network micro-payments protocol.
