Easter is a time for eggs - and that hasn't escaped the notice of Niantic Labs, creators of the hit mobile game Pokémon Go .
The company is hotly tipped to launch a special Easter Event that looks likely to kick off tomorrow.
Like previous Valentine's Day and Thanksgiving events, the Easter event will last for a week and give players a handy boost .
They will receive double the XP and, of course, a better chance of hatching a rare Pokémon from one of their eggs.

The likes of Snorlax and Lapras can be hatched from eggs that require players to walk a specific distance while playing the game.
News of the Easter event was posted on Pokémon Go fan site The Silph Road by a group known as Team Eevolution.
"From tomorrow, there will be a DOUBLE EXPERIENCE EVENT that will last a week. There will also be better egg hatch rates. This means that there will be more chances of rare Pokemon coming out as Lapras or Snorlax more easily," the group posted on the site .
It's important to note, however, that there has been no official announcement from Niantic regarding any special changes to the game.

The last we heard from the developers was that the 'Legendary' Pokémon would be arriving in the game by the end of the year.
“We’re going to take advantage of the wearables that exist today while we wait and work with partners to bring to market A.R. glasses and other forms of advanced A.R. technology," Niantic CEO John Hanke recently told a German newspaper.
“With Pokemon Go, we’re only getting started with the game.”

Hatching (Easter) eggs

Meanwhile, Pokemon Go data miners have cracked how the Generation 2 egg tier works.
Hatching certain species from an egg has always been a bit of a mystery. However, the people at the Silph Road have worked out how things work.

“Egg species is determined according to hidden rarity 'tiers' that are not the same as the egg distance tiers (i.e. 2 km, 5 km, 10 km),” a new post explains.
“In simple English, this means that not all 10 km egg species are rarer than 2 km egg species or 5 km egg species. A simple example of this is that Dratini is presently a very common hatch, despite being in 10 km eggs.
“It is currently easier to acquire a 10 km egg with a Dratini inside than a 2 km egg with a Machop inside.”
Research done using a over 8,000 egg hatches has revealed that there might now be four rarity tiers in play, each twice as common as the one before.

Nintendo's Failure To Give The Switch A Proper Pokémon Game Is Inexcusable

Nintendo/Paul Tassi The Dream Yesterday was a strange day for Nintendo fans who tuned into a new Pokémon Direct hoping for some relatively simple news: Pokémon is coming to the Nintendo Switch. Of course, technically, that did happen, but only in the form of Pokken Tournament getting ported over from the Wii U to the Switch in a new “Deluxe” package . But the fully-fledged Pokémon games featured in the show, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon and Gold and Silver for Virtual Console, were relegated to the 3DS. After the show, there was a brief flare-up of hope that due to a rogue listing, it appeared that Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon may get a Switch release after all, but The Pokémon Company quickly shut that rumor down , saying the listing was a mistake. Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are 3DS only, and there are no plans to bring them to the Switch. The two magic words everyone was looking for yesterday were “Pokémon Stars,” the long rumored, even offic...

New storyline gives lapsed ‘Pokémon Go’ players a reason to reinstall

The  Pokémon Go craze has definitely fizzled out over the last year or so, with several key promised features still not released yet, but lapsed trainers now have a reason to reinstall the game again. This week, new “field research” quests add narrative to what has largely been a player-driven multiplayer experience thus far. “A series of mysterious happenings is occurring all over the world, and Professor Willow is seeking trainers to help him found out if this is connected to the mythical Pokémon Mew,” Niantic said in an update post . “These research tasks will become available to trailers around the world later this week!” There will be two different categories of research during the event: “Field research” and “special research.” The former type can be triggered by visiting Pokéstops, and will task trainers with completing raids or gym battles or catching a certain type of Pokémon. Special research missions are longer, with trainers having to complete several ...
