The Pokémon Go hype is real! With thousands of Pinoy fans-turned-trainers, establishments are not only riding the craze through trendjacking posts, but are also dropping FREE lure modules in PokéStops within their humble abode. Read on to find out which malls are participating in this Poké-tastic event.
Just in case you’re wondering, the mobile application called Pokémon Go has been officially released in the Philippines last Saturday (August 6, 2016) and 90s kids got no chill about it. I believe you have encountered groups of millennials looking down on their phones and throwing Pokéballs at invisible Pokémons more than once this week. Yes, those are trainers.
With hoards of trainers flocking PokéStops strategically placed in malls, schools, and other places of worship, marketing teams have deployed their latest luring tactic for potential customers – dropping an unlimited supply of lure modules during business hours.
Meowth! That’s right! There’s a non-stop luring party happening this weekend (August 12-14, 2016) in different establishments nationwide. We’re stoked to see loads of pink confetti on our phones! Save the date and check out our list below to see which ones are near your place:
