In order to thank gamers for taking Pokémon Go to their hearts and giving it the platform required in order to become the resounding success that it has been, at least during the early months of its availability, Nantic has announced some perks for gamers to take advantage of.

Hurry though, the window of opportunity is upon us – gamers will only have between November 23rd at 00:00 UTC and going through November 30th 00:00 UTC in order to take advantage of Nantic’s generosity. What will that generosity reap, you cry? Well, we’ll let Niantic explain.

If double XP and Stardust sounds like something you’d like, then be sure to get your Pokémon Go on after Wednesday and remember, you only have a few days in which to accept your thank you.

Now we just need Nantic to get back to working on Pokémon Go’s second coming. After all, we know around 100 Generation 2 Pokémon are on their way sooner or alter. Hopefully the former.
