Pokémon Go Fest Returns to Europe, Heads to Paris

Pokémon Go enthusiasts across Europe have reason to celebrate as the beloved Pokémon Go Fest makes its grand return to the continent. This year, the festivities are set in the romantic city of Paris, taking place from June 13th to 15th. Tickets for this eagerly anticipated event are now available, promising an unforgettable experience for all attendees.

Pokémon Go Fest is a vibrant live event where thousands of players gather in a designated area. Ticket holders are in for a treat with access to exclusive Special Research and the opportunity to encounter the mythical Pokémon, Volcanion, for the first time. The event features specially-marked routes that guide participants to explore Paris's iconic landmarks and picturesque sites.

The excitement doesn't stop at sightseeing. Attendees can look forward to meeting Pokémon Mascots and notable trainers along the route. For those needing a break, team lounges offer a place to rest before diving into competitive action at the PvP battleground. Don't forget to scout for exclusive event merchandise to take home as a memento of your adventure.

The influx of Pokémon Go Fest attendees is a significant boost to the local economy of Paris. The city's willingness to host the event underscores the widespread recognition of the passion and dedication of Pokémon Go fans. Niantic, the game's developer, continues to leverage this enthusiasm to bring fans together in celebration.

Keep an eye out for more Pokémon Go Fests scheduled later this year in Osaka and New Jersey, where fans will gather to pursue the ultimate goal of "Catch 'em all!"

For those not in Paris, Osaka, or New Jersey but located in Chile or India, there's still a way to contribute to the Pokémon Go community. Participate in the new Wayfarer Challenge by nominating local landmarks and beauty spots as new Pokéstops and Gyms, enhancing the game experience for players worldwide.
