Pokémon GO December Community Day: dates, details and more

This year has been something more than peculiar, with a situation that has affected various companies and platforms, including Niantic and their well-known mobile game, Pokémon GO.

However, despite everything, the developers at Niantic have managed to keep their community active, with remote events, new updates and special content throughout the year.
