As you can see, Pok\u00e9mon Pass has its own logo and looks set to be available on both Android and iOS devices.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"picture strip\"><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"picture strip\"><\/figure>\n<p>@Tsukento notes that the marketing materials were spotted at Target and that the QR code featured on the advertisement currently leads to a dead link. If we&#8217;re reading into the advertisement correctly, it would appear that users will have to download the app and use that to scan the QR code shown to receive the goods &#8211; currently consisting of shiny Pok\u00e9mon in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/pokemon_lets_go_pikachu_and_lets_go_eevee\"><strong>Pok\u00e9mon: Let&#8217;s Go, Pikachu! and Let&#8217;s Go, Eevee!<\/strong><\/a> and a Psyduck sticker based on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2019\/04\/video_the_latest_detective_pikachu_movie_trailer_shows_off_stunning_cgi_pokemon\">new Detective Pikachu movie<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The messaging states that these offers will start on 11th May, so we imagine the app will become available on that date or just before.<\/p>\n<p>As always, it&#8217;s worth noting that we haven&#8217;t received any official word on this app just yet. We wouldn&#8217;t get too excited at the possibilities this app could bring until we know it&#8217;s coming for certain, but it looks like we&#8217;ll know soon enough in the coming days.<\/p>\n<p><em>What do you think the app might provide?
