Pokémon Go Fest Returns to Europe, Heading to Paris

Pokémon Go enthusiasts in Europe have reason to celebrate as the beloved Pokémon Go Fest is set to return, this time gracing the romantic streets of Paris. Mark your calendars for June 13th to 15th, as the City of Love transforms into a Pokémon paradise. Tickets are now available, so don't miss your chance to join in on the fun!

For those unfamiliar, Pokémon Go Fest is a 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. Specially-marked routes will lead participants through Paris, showcasing the city's iconic landmarks and natural beauty.

The event isn't just about exploring; it's also a chance to meet Pokémon Mascots and renowned trainers along the route. If you need a break, relax in the team lounges before diving into the excitement of the PvP battleground. And don't forget to keep an eye out for exclusive event merchandise!

While not on the scale of major sporting events, Pokémon Go Fest significantly boosts the local economy and highlights the passion of the Pokémon Go community. Paris hosting the event is a testament to the recognition of this enthusiasm by both fans and Niantic.

Stay tuned for more Pokémon Go Fests later this year in Osaka and New Jersey, where fans will gather to fulfill the iconic goal of "Catch 'em all!"

If you're not in Paris, Osaka, or New Jersey but find yourself in Chile or India, you can still participate in the excitement with the new Wayfarer Challenge. Nominate local landmarks and beauty spots to become new Pokéstops and Gyms, spreading the joy of Pokémon Go to even more players around the world!
