The death of Pokémon GO has been greatly exaggerated.
Pokémon GO is still hovering in the 40s on the download charts.
It’s also still the top-grossing app on iOS.
And, that’s great for Niantic and probably also for gamers who want ever-expanding content.
That’s also been great for animal shelters all over, including the UK’s Wood Green Animal Charities.
They run a massive shelter:

It also has 5 Poké-stops, a gym, and is a known nest.
They started holding Pokémon GO nights back in August.
The first event saw 3,000 visitors and raised over $5,000.

So, they held another event in September:

Even more people showed up:

And, despite the depressingly low amount of coinage in the donation bins when Reddit user DESTINY took this pic during the event…:

The shelter made about $13,000 that night.

Back on September 17, before the latest nest migration, the park was chock full of Charmanders:

Unfortunately, it’s just a Rhyhorn nest at the moment, but even that’s not the end of the world:

And the shelter hopes to host another event in October.
