April Fowl’s Day: Pidgey Pandemonium

April Fowl’s Day: Pidgey Pandemonium

Trainers,

Emergency! We have a feathery fiasco on our hands. Over the years, Trainers have transferred Pokémon to Professor Willow’s lab— perhaps too many, as it seems the integrity of the Pidgey pen has been compromised! And now all those transferred Pidgey have flown the coop!

You read that right: there are Pidgey everywhere. EVERYWHERE!

Please help us catch the rogue Pidgey before the pecking order is upended for good!.
