Pokémon Go enthusiasts in Europe have reason to celebrate as the beloved Pokémon Go Fest returns, this time gracing the enchanting city of Paris from June 13th to 15th. Tickets are currently available, so don't miss your chance to join the festivities in the City of Love!
Pokémon Go Fest is a vibrant live event that attracts thousands of players to a designated area. Ticket holders gain access to exclusive Special Research and the opportunity to encounter the mythical Pokémon, Volcanion, for the first time. Participants will follow specially-marked routes that lead to iconic landmarks and stunning natural sites throughout Paris.
The event isn't just about exploring the city; it's also a chance to meet Pokémon Mascots and notable trainers along the route. If you need a break, relax in the team lounges before heading to the PvP battleground to test your skills. And don't forget to look out for exclusive event merchandise that you can only find at Pokémon Go Fest!
While not on the scale of major sporting events, Pokémon Go Fest typically draws large crowds and significantly boosts the local economy. Paris hosting the event is a testament to the widespread recognition and enthusiasm of Pokémon Go fans, as well as a positive development for Niantic.
Keep an eye out for more Pokémon Go Fests later this year in Osaka and New Jersey, where fans will gather to heed the iconic call to "Catch 'em all!"
If you're not in Paris, Osaka, or New Jersey but find yourself in Chile or India, you can still get involved with the new Wayfarer Challenge. By nominating local landmarks and beauty spots, you can help introduce new Pokéstops and Gyms, spreading the joy of Pokémon Go to even more players worldwide!
