No doubt about it, Filipinos too have been gripped by the Pokemon Go Fever.
Since it was launched in the country last August 6, Pokemon Go has gained a huge following that continues to grow to date, throwing hardcore gamers and ordinary individuals alike into a frenzy of catching these pocket monsters that show up all over the metro – parks, major thoroughfares, malls, landmarks, places of worship, art pieces, institutions and even government agencies.
This free-to-play, location-based augmented reality game Pokemon Go, developed by Niantic for iOS and Android devices, has become an overnight success indeed, being one of the most popular games today.
Haven
Ayala Malls, with its open spaces, gardens & water features have naturally attracted various Pokemon creatures, which in turn makes it more fun & exciting for the Pokemon Go fanatics. Our players can look forward to something even more exciting this weekend as Ayala Malls will be transforming its shopping centers into a “Pokemon Go haven.”
From August 12 to 14, Pokemon Go players can revel at the “Ayala Malls Lure Drop Party,” enabling them to hunt, catch and collect their pocket monsters while they shop and dine at their preferred Ayala Malls.
Always on top of it game, Ayala Malls will be featuring virtual non-stop lure drop at designated Pokestops, with the hunt set to start from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will resume from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Meanwhile, one of the most exciting parts of the event will be the Pokemon Strikes Back, where Pikachus will go around the mall armed with large inflatable poke balls and will catch random players which, in turn, will be rewarded with Ayala Malls Amore Prepaid Card or special gifts.
And completing the entire Pokemon Go hunt experience, watch out for life-sized Pokemons shopping, dining or just strolling around the malls. Capture them, and share with the hashtag #FindEmAtAyalaMalls. Who knows, you might win exciting prizes?
