Where There Is Light, There Is Shadow in Pokemon GO
Last updated
Ever wondered about the saying, ‘Where there is light, there is shadow’ and how it relates to your favorite augmented reality (AR) game, Pokemon GO? Well, you’re in for a treat!
This saying perfectly describes a unique feature in Pokemon GO. Let’s dive into what shadows are all about in this game.
Understanding Shadow Pokemon in Pokemon GO
Shadow Pokemon are special versions of Pokemon that have been ‘corrupted’ by Team GO Rocket. These villainous characters capture Pokemon and turn them into shadows to make them stronger in battle but at a cost to their happiness.
These Pokemon appear with a dark aura swirling around them. To save them, players must defeat Team GO Rocket members in battle and then use Poke Balls to catch the Shadow Pokemon. Afterward, you can ‘purify’ these Pokemon, returning them to their normal state, but they keep some of their enhanced battle strength.
Why ‘Where There Is Light, There Is Shadow’ Fits Pokemon GO
This saying is a perfect match for Pokemon GO because it highlights the ongoing battle between good (the trainers) and evil (Team GO Rocket). It underscores the game’s deeper narrative of redemption and the power of light overcoming darkness. As a player, you get the chance to be the hero, saving Pokemon from their shadow selves and bringing them back to the light.
