"[Idea] New Event: Heart Gold and Soul Silver Weeks – Mental and Physical Health Promotion Event"

#PokemonGO: Pokémon GO is a truly unique game with an equally unique ability to help people. Recent stories on this subreddit have shown that Pokémon GO has had a positive effect in many people’s lives, from social anxiety and mental health perspectives to physical health. I think it would make for a neat event if these positive aspects of the game were highlighted for an ingame event. I propose a new event called the Heart Gold and Soul Silver Weeks. This event would be split into two halves between the Heart Gold and Soul Silver focuses. Each half of the event would be 1-2 weeks long and would focus on different aspects of the game.Heart Gold Weeks would focus on physical health. As such activities promoting walking (hatching eggs, walking with buddies, etc.) would be boosted. Players could get a free single use incubator every day from spinning a PokeStop, and this would encourage people to walk more every day. Ho-Oh would make a return as a legendary raid boss for the duration of the Heart Gold weeks.Soul Silver Weeks would focus on mental health. As such activities that promote player interaction (mostly raids, and higher level raids especially) would be boosted. Raid rewards would be boosted the more players participate in a raid. This would encourage people to coordinate and interact with others more. Lugia would make a return as a legendary raid boss for the duration of the Soul Silver weeks.Each half of the event would also have a unique item that could be obtained depending on which half of the event is currently ongoing. Silver Scales and Gold Feathers would be consumable items that are entirely unique to Pokémon GO. These items would be entirely cosmetic and could be applied to any Pokémon to recolor them silver or gold according to the item. These items don’t exist in any other Pokémon game and would set Pokémon GO apart from any other main series game. These items could be obtained by participating in the appropriate events according to which half of the event is ongoing. Additionally, there could be short, informative quizzes that promote awareness going on throughout the event, which could also award the Silver and Gold reskin items.Feedback is appreciated; let me know your thoughts in the comments! via /r/pokemongo https://ift.tt/2G5b8EO
