We’ve installed more than five million Pokéstops around India since the game’s 2016 release, and the firm has held a number of in-person events to promote the phenomenon. Our partnership with The Pokemon Company is a big move that we know will help us reach more people throughout the nation.
Niantic is also holding a month-long event just for Indian gamers to commemorate the Hindi localization. Exciting elements like Field Research, Timed Research, and Bonuses with unique benefits may be found in this in-game event.
To further demonstrate its dedication to the Indian market, Pokemon GO has reorganized the pricing for coin bundles on the Google Play and Apple Stores and offered a special coin incentive for the Pokemon GO Web Store.

TPC has taken it a step further by releasing a short film in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Bengali titled “The Journey of One Dream” to celebrate this momentous anniversary with its Indian followers. The narrative centers on a father and son, emphasizing the value of family ties once again. The possibility of making dreams come true is emphasized, and the message that no objective is too little is reaffirmed. Everyone, regardless of age, can identify with the film’s central theme since everyone goes through a time in their lives when their relationships are tested because of their hectic schedules. Starting today, September 15th, the video will be available on the official Pokemon Asia YouTube account.
In honor to the Indian fanbase, The Pokemon Company’s COO Takato Utsunomiya once remarked, “From the outset, Pokémon’s appeal has crossed generations and cultures, making it a global phenomenon bringing people together through the pleasure of play and discovery. One of our most important markets is India. We see the Hindi localization as the first step in a lengthy process. With a focus on the long term, we want to grow our presence in India and work with Pokemon fans to expand and improve the Pokemon universe.
