Pokemon Go is celebrating the series’ 25th anniversary today with the Pokemon Go Tour: Kanto, a one-day event revolving around the original 150 Pokemon. As with the original games, the event is available in two flavors, a Red Version and a Green Version, and developer Niantic has now explained how you’ll be able to choose your event version when the festivities begin next week.
How To Choose Your Event Version
The Pokemon Go Tour: Kanto event takes place today, February 20. Before you can participate, however, you’ll need to choose which “version” of the event you want to experience. Once the event is underway, open your item bag and select your Pokemon Go Tour: Kanto virtual ticket. After that, you’ll see a prompt asking you to Choose Red or Choose Green. Simply tap on the event version you’d like to experience to make your choice. Bear in mind that your choice is final, so think carefully before making your selection.
