Pok\u00e9mon Go took this to the next level by getting players to go out and explore the real world while catching new Pok\u00e9mon and filling out their Pok\u00e9dex. Players who enjoy the collection aspect of the game will be delighted to hear about a new feature introduced with Pok\u00e9mon Go Tour: Hoenn. The new feature, Location Cards, adds to the collectibility and uniqueness of certain Pok\u00e9mon. What are Pok\u00e9mon Go Location Cards? According to the official Pok\u00e9mon Go site, \u201cLocation Cards will be a new way for Trainers to remember where they caught specific Pok\u00e9mon and commemorate visiting special events or locations.\u201d These \u201csouvenir backgrounds\u201d can be found by going to the Pok\u00e9mon\u2019s Summary page. Related: Should you pick the Ruby or Sapphire badge ticket for Pok\u00e9mon Go Tour: Hoenn? This may seem similar to the mainline Pok\u00e9mon games in a few different ways. After catching, hatching, or receiving a Pok\u00e9mon in those titles, the Pok\u00e9mon will have notes on where it was caught or who it was traded from. If it was traded from someone in another country, that would also be indicated. There are also special Marks that Pok\u00e9mon can possess from certain events. For example, the Pok\u00e9mon caught after seven-star Tera Raid events in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet will possess the Mightiest Mark to add to their rarity and show exactly where they came from. With Pok\u00e9mon Go Tour: Hoenn hosting an in-person event in Las Vegas from February 18 to 19, players will have the opportunity to catch Pok\u00e9mon with Location Cards by participating in specific Raid Battles there. Players can expect to have more opportunities to collect Location Cards from other in-person events in the future. Thanks to this new feature, players will be able to easily look back on the events they attend and the places they visit while participating in raids and catching more Pok\u00e9mon.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/18160837\/Pokemon-Go-Tour.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/802317"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2177"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=802317"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/802317\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":802361,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/802317\/revisions\/802361"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/802319"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=802317"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=802317"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=802317"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=802317"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=802317"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=802317"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=802317"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
