Prior to getting into the details of Pokemon GO’s Johto Throwback Challenge tasks, it is important to mention that they will only be available until Friday, May 15 at 1pm local time. At that point it will be time for fans to focus on the Hoenn region, and players that want to unlock the Special Research task at the end of this multi-part event should make sure to knock out the Johoto Throwback tasks in PoGO sooner rather than later.
