Pokemon GO developer Niantic has added Latin American Spanish language support to the game. This significant update arrives alongside a month-long in-game celebration designed to welcome and engage Pokemon GO's LATAM players.
Since its launch all the way back in 2016, Pokemon GO has been downloaded over 1 billion times and currently sits at around 81 million active players worldwide. Although not as popular as it used to be, Pokemon GO is still fun to play in 2024. Niantic has consistently strived to expand the beloved mobile game's accessibility by introducing new languages and features, but the lack of support for Latin American Spanish stuck out for many players in the region. Thankfully, the addition of the major language was announced at a keynote speech at CCXP in Mexico City on May 5 by key Niantic staff and The Pokemon Company International.
To commemorate the launch of Latin American Spanish support for Pokemon GO, a festive in-game event kicks off on May 5 and continues until June 15. In addition to new limited-time boxes available for purchase in the in-game shop, here's a breakdown of the exciting offerings for LATAM trainers:
Players who complete Field Research tasks throughout the event will also be rewarded with encounters with Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle. Some Field Research tasks will even gift candies for the aforementioned Pokemon, with others awarding players with Mega Energy for Charizard, Venusaur, and Blastoise. A special Timed Research available until June 15 (8PM local time) also incentivizes players with a Star Piece, Super Incubator, Rare Candy, and encounters with Lapras and Snorlax upon completion.
Niantic will also provide a special Timed Research every weekend during the event from May 5 (2PM local time) to June 15 (8PM local time). Players who complete the Timed Research will receive rewards like Razz Berries, Nanab Berries, Pinap Berries, Incense, Poke Balls, and Great Balls. For those jumping in for the first time, do note that Timed Research expires every week, so make sure to complete it and collect the rewards before every Sunday at 8PM local time.
The inclusion of Latin American Spanish support forPokemon GO took a long time, but fulfills a much-needed gap in the game's accessibility. The accompanying in-game event is undoubtedly a nifty bonus for LATAM players, and proof of Niantic's dedication to further its reach to more Pokemon GO players worldwide.
After a test run via an April Fools' joke on Google Maps, Pokemon GO was released to the public in the summer of 2016. The AR mobile app saw unparalleled success and continues to be one of the largest mobile games in the world, pulling in billions for developer Niantic.

The Pokémon series has been around for nearly 30 years, so it’s no surprise that its fan base has quite a large age range. While the franchise does have complicated mechanics in place — a vast knowledge of Pokémon states is needed to play competitively and shiny Pokémon hunting has been broken down into a science instead of a surprise — but, as a whole, the series’ story and overall difficultly has always been family-friendly and aimed toward a younger audience. This can leave older, more experienced Pokémon trainers wanting more when they cruise through a new Pokémon title.
