Thousands of ‘Pokémon Go’ Players Descend on Times Square to Defeat Mewtwo

Thousands of Pokémon Go players gathered in Times Square for a surprise 10th-anniversary event. During this gathering, Niantic fulfilled a promise teased in the original 2016 launch trailer. The event recreated the cinematic sequence from that trailer, where hundreds of players collaborated to take on Mewtwo. This large-scale mobile game activation brought the initial promotional vision to life, allowing a massive crowd of users to battle the legendary Pokémon in a real-world setting.
