Pokémon Go’s next season is named Dual Destiny, and will kick off next week on Tuesday 3rd December.
Its logo features obvious black and white-themed branding, which should perhaps not be a surprise considering Pokémon Black and White region Unova is next on the docket to be featured in the game’s Go Tour event series. Dual Destiny finishes on 4th March, around the time we’d expected Go Tour Unova to be held.
So, why “Dual Destiny”? In a press briefing, Niantic said the name was designed to reflect “opposites coming together to strengthen one another and celebrate two sides of a whole”, which is nice.
In terms of content, much of what is to come will be announced over the coming days, but perhaps the headline for now is the early introduction of teacup Pokémon Sinistea. This fits the Dual Destiny branding as it has two different types – Antique and Phony – depending on whether it comes with a stamp of authenticity. (Maybe it should have been called Authencitea?)
