Pokemon GO Tour Kanto is nearly here and that means it’s time to choose between either the Red Version ticket or the Green Version ticket. Both have their own exclusive Pokemon and challenges. Here’s everything you need to know about how to choose a red or green ticket and the differences between them for Pokemon GO Tour Kanto.
How To Choose Red or Green Ticket & Differences for Pokemon GO Tour Kanto
First off, choosing the color you want is pretty straightforward. Once you’ve purchased the ticket from the store for $11.99, it will then appear in your Bag. Tap on the Ticket in your Bag to bring up the Red or Green selection screen.
Just be careful what you pick since your decision will be set in stone. If you’re planning on playing with a friend, then make sure you pick the opposite of what they select. That way you can both complete all of the challenges and collect all 150 Pokemon from the Kanto region.
But before you pick your color, you may want to look at the different Pokemon that appear more often for each ticket.
