Pokemon Go December Community Day UPDATE: Niantic has great news for fans

 developer Niantic has posted a fresh update about the December Community Day event.

Niantic typically announces the Community Day date and featured Pokemon just a few days after the previous event ends.

But nearly a week removed from the November Community Day event starring Cyndaquil, fans are none the wiser about the date or featured Pokemon.

Some fans have even speculated that the December event has been cancelled due to the holiday season.

Fortunately, however, it looks like the announcement has simply been delayed and the event hasn’t been cancelled.

That’s according to Niantic Support, who told one fan that the announcement is coming soon.

Asked for more details about the Community Day event, Niantic Support tweeted:”We’ll be making an announcement with all of this information soon, keep an eye on the @PokemonGOApp channel for details.”

You can take a look at the future Community Day contenders in the gallery below…

It’s possible Niantic is waiting until after today’s release of Pokemon Let’s Go.

The December Community Day event is expected to take place on the weekend of December 15/16. If it’s anything like past events, it will take place between 10am and 1pm.

Earlier this year, a Silph Road post correctly claimed that Chikorita would headline the September event and Cyndaquil would be the star of the November event.

Slakoth, Ralts and Trapinch were also tipped to appear, so expect to see one of them headline December.

It’s possible that we’ll see a Gen 4 Pokemon take centre stage soon.

The obvious contenders would be the Sinnoh region starter Pokemon, including Turtwig, Chimchar and Piplup.

There’s always the chance that we’ll get some Christmas-themed Pokemon like Delibird, Abomasnow or Stantler.

More likely, however, is that Niantic saves these Pocket Monsters for the inevitable Christmas event.
