Five couples, their hearts brimming with Pokémon-fueled love, took the opportunity to propose amidst the festivities. And the best part? All five received a resounding "Yes!"

We all fondly remember the initial Pokémon Go craze, the thrill of exploring our neighborhoods in search of virtual creatures. While its global dominance may have waned, Pokémon Go retains a dedicated player base, many of whom flocked to Madrid.

The event served as the perfect backdrop for these special moments. One couple, Martina and Shaun, shared their story: "After eight years, six of them long-distance, we've finally settled together. This was the ideal way to celebrate our new life," Martina explained.

The event drew over 190,000 attendees, a significant number demonstrating the enduring appeal of Pokémon Go. While not on the scale of major sporting events, the attendance is still impressive.
