When the full-scale invasion of Ukraine began, Pokémon GO could have easily been forgotten. Instead, it became something more. It became a lifeline of hope and community for Pokemon Trainers living in Ukraine. In this episode of As The Pokeball Turns, we meet the Community Ambassadors of Pokémon GO Ukraine as they share how they rebuilt their shattered local communities, found moments of peace during wartime, and used Pokémon GO as a way to support each other through unimaginable challenges. From organizing safe meetups during curfew to fundraising for frontline soldiers, their story shows the true power of Pokemon, friendship, and hope.
