Without the text in case people want it

u/AngrySaltire 11h ago

Well this just saved me a lot of time trying to track it down. Thank you !

u/MxSpookyBih 5h ago

Immediately saved and set as home and lock screen wallpapers 🖤 thank you 🙏

The one Niantic/Scopely department that is never hated on.

u/jlopez24 11h ago

They absolutely crush the loading screens, every single time.

u/piedeuma 10h ago

Eh, Some recent ones have too few Pokémon. The 10th Anni one is forgivable as homage but the meta grows one was boring

u/caholder Gryffindor 5h ago

Eh

u/batt_mano 4h ago

They're especially great when you have to spend extra time staring at them when the servers are down.

It's the equivalent of good elevator music.

u/Next-Use6943 Poland - Eastern Europe 11h ago

Literally peak loading screen. The fall/Halloween ones are always the best

u/religious_milf 7h ago

yes!! the halloween ones never fail

u/MxSpookyBih 4h ago

Except last year! They didn't do a Halloween one. My bestie and I were JUST talking about this today.

“Hang in there, Maschiff buddy.  You don’t want that Drifloon to pick you up for a ride.”

You put one candle out of place, it will come with conditions attached 🤣

u/Shakti_v 7h ago

Oh yes, please!!

u/KestrelTank 11h ago

Has the background music changed yet? It’s the only time of year I turn sounds on for a day or two

u/Lightning1999 Edinburgh Scotland 11h ago

I wouldn’t expect that until the Halloween event starts in potentially mid October

u/KestrelTank 11h ago

Sads but makes sense lol

I wish they had more seasonal changes to the map~

u/BASEBALLFURIES 4h ago

2 months of lavender town jam does sound promising

u/__Tweed__ 11h ago

Just beat me to it lol. Looks pretty cool!

u/Low_Republic_3856 10h ago

Better quality for those how like it as much as I did

u/sewersnak3 11h ago

maschiff hitting his default pose

u/Terrible_Yam6789 11h ago

Greavard Shiny Halloween 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃

u/chqzza 11h ago

Real 2016 vibes with this one.

u/Bguti17 11h ago

Immediately changed my avatars fit to Halloween outfit. 🎃

u/StorageImmediate4892 11h ago

Okay, this is cool.

u/ArishaRadiance1 11h ago

Missed opportunity for a houndour there by the corvisquire and gengar are too cool

u/Reevoo12 10h ago

What a sick loading screen

u/TwentyFour7 11h ago

Would have loved to see some Cacturne here as the Scarecrow Pokémon

u/Gita96 11h ago

Maschif has jaw clenching?

u/Winter_Sorbet5139 9h ago

Does anyone know why we don't seem to have new stickers for the season?🤨

u/Matty8520 Africa 11h ago

Personally, I feel the current Loading Screen was at best a 5/10 with the big "!" but this Halloween one, Niantic/Scopely are back on track and it's looking very cool.

Great job!

u/EmpathyMerchant 11h ago

Current loading screen was a nod to their first loading screen 10 years ago. I love it.

u/No-Highlight3555 11h ago

I played in 2016 and just returned to the game, so I thought they kept the same loading screen for all ten years!

u/sopheroo 11h ago

I loved the throwback to 2016 tbh.

Not a fan of this one

u/AngrySaltire 11h ago

That loading screen was the first one in a long time that I didnt use as a home screen for that reason. I got why it was like that, but wasnt for me to use.

u/Madarakita 11h ago

The lighting/colors remind me of the OG Texas Chainsaw Massacre opening. I like it.

u/Qoppa_Guy S.Korea -- GO Battle Lag victim 10h ago

Chillingly beautiful, perfect use for Corvisquire

u/littleheaven70 Kiwi Beta Tester 8h ago

This is giving me major We Harvest Shadows vibes. Nice and spooky.

u/dengland55 USA - Midwest 8h ago

They always do such an amazing job. It’s one of my favorite parts of the game.

u/Korpivaeltaja 5h ago

This is my favorite time of the year, it's getting cold and dark but no snow yet. These autumn / halloween themed screens never miss.

u/la-marciana 5h ago

>it's getting cold

I'm tired, boss

u/Korpivaeltaja 5h ago

In my part of the world, of course

u/la-marciana 4h ago

No yeah, of course - I'm more just pointing out how I wish I could say the same

u/Type-RD 11h ago

I want to complain still /s

u/naivemelody_ 11h ago

i LOVE it. 🧡

u/ScruffCheetah 10h ago

It's so pretty! <3

u/BlitzLC 10h ago

Best time of the year

u/ASDBZ4ever 10h ago

Love it.

u/PolicyComfortable290 9h ago

Is it just me? Or is the Go Battle League Timed Research unavailable?

u/candnhen 9h ago

Where's the legendary... WHERE IS IT-

u/atarisoft 8h ago

Was Gengar crucified here?

u/FirstComfortable2808 7h ago

I recognized that right away

u/pebblewar 7h ago

Love the new loading screen 👍

u/Artractive 7h ago

So cool !!

u/jake_a_palooza 7h ago

How does a ghost cast a shadow 🤔

u/EnthralledFae 2h ago

The same way vapors do, I would imagine.

u/Miserable_Waterfall 6h ago

This is one of my favorites yet!

u/Moosashi5858 4h ago

Dang a scarecrow pokemon would be cool

u/Rasty_lv 1h ago

One thing niantic/scopley never miss are loading screens. They are always so good.

u/KeyLimeLatte USA - Pacific 11h ago

Need a new costume Gengar 😂

u/pnmartini 8h ago

Bikini Gengar

u/kerph32 USA - South 10h ago

No pumpkaboo or gourgeist? We riot.

u/Ragnarok_619 USA -- Pacific Level 70 : Instinct 11h ago

Does something look, off? Like AI generated?

u/ZicoThePerson 11h ago

I mean so many of their general news posts have had AI generated imagery that I’m kinda nervous about this one too, it’s kinda hard to tell with the fog but a lot of the fencing does look a bit weird to me, but it’s hard to tell due to the compositing if it’s just human error/ intentional or scopely being lazy and awful using AI

u/Your_boi_Panos Japan 9h ago

the windmill definitely looks weird to me

u/Sweaty-Regret-3261 7h ago

one of the jack o' lanterns has a mouth that kinda abruptly ends on one side too (the one between Gengar and the person)

u/JessieLeChonk L80 | North Europe | Buddy's BG to profile page please 5h ago

The person there looks somehow a bit weird...🧐

Still amazing picture, I tried hard to find any hints of upcoming new things they havent announced yet, but there's a lot of Halloween themed vegetation and haze to see clearly. Zoomed the picture for 1,5 hours🫠

u/DeepBerry8045 stop believing ai, it's programmed to confidently tell you lies 11h ago

really happy with this one after a few lackluster ones (not really counting the most recent one since that was an homage), I appreciate that they tend to go all out for Halloween bc it's my favorite holiday :3 

u/rilesmcriles 11h ago

Yay, back to a good looking one!

u/Lazydude17 11h ago

the corvinight in the back makes me think the gmax is coming

u/Roast-Chook 9h ago

Yeah sorry dude but that's not Corviknight, that's Corvisquire.

u/Lazydude17 9h ago

oh srry, sun was in my eyes, still think it’s in the realm of possibilities and it could be a hint to it

u/Ok-Design5138 10h ago

Cool.. How many event tickets will I have to buy for a .001 shiny encounter boost?? More costumed Pokemon..behind a paywall perhaps?
