This month, Pokemon Go has a tonne of events planned, including two Community Days. The first is now underway today, November 5, which gives players one more chance to capture a dragon called Pokemon Dratini, which was originally highlighted during the February 2018 Community Day. In addition, after today's event, a mystery new Pokemon from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will also debut in the game.

When is the Community Day Classic in November?

On Saturday, November 5, the Dratini Community Day was held once more. Only three hours, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. local time, was devoted to the event.

Dratini

As previously stated, Dratini, who was originally showcased at one of the game's initial Community Day events, back in 2018, is the headliner of Pokemon Go's next Community Day Classic.

The times they are a changin’

How we play games has changed over the years, from tabletops to virtual reality to augmented reality. It is also now estimated to reach a massive $196 billion in revenue by 2022. And it doesn’t have a long history either.

Coming into being

Although video game prototypes were created as early as the 1950s, the very first gaming console was not introduced to consumers until the 1970s. But they really took off in the 1990s, as the internet slowly started becoming ubiquitous.

Major milestones

1990s: Online gaming rapidly gains popularity due to the increasing availability of the internet
2004: World of Warcraft launches, the first massively multiplayer online (MMO) to eclipse more than 10 million active subscriptions
2009: Minecraft launches and becomes one of the best selling video games in history with 176 million copies sold.
2016: Augmented reality game Pokémon Go is launched, generating the most revenue grossed by any mobile game in its first month.

All hail the future

Mobile is the largest gaming platform, producing $68.5 billion in revenue in 2019—45% of the total market that also includes PC and tablet gaming. Although still a relatively new segment of the industry, mobile gaming has developed at an astonishing rate, with 2.4 billion people playing games on mobile in 2019.

Gaming personalities

In the future, games could automatically generate game content that is customized to fit each player’s personality and playstyle, based on their player data. They could also use your personality traits to create complex gaming profiles.

Dratini will occur in the wild considerably more frequently than usual throughout the event, giving you more chances to capture the uncommon dragon Pokemon. Additionally, the likelihood of running into a shiny Dratini will rise.

Meteor Draco

The dragon Pokemon can learn an event-specific move during the November repeat event, much like they could during the first Dratini Community Day. On the day of the event, if you develop Dratini's first evolved form, Dragonair, before 7 p.m. to Dragonite, it will learn the dragon-type Charged Attack Draco Meteor.
