Pokémon Go Fest Returns to Europe, Heading to Paris

Pokémon Go fans across Europe have reason to celebrate as the beloved Pokémon Go Fest makes its triumphant return to the continent, this time gracing the enchanting city of Paris from June 13th to 15th. Tickets for this exciting event are now available, so don't miss out on your chance to immerse yourself in the world of Pokémon in the heart of the City of Love.

Pokémon Go Fest is a live event that attracts thousands of players to a designated area, transforming it into a hub of Pokémon activity. 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. Attendees will follow specially-marked routes that lead them to some of Paris's most iconic landmarks and breathtaking natural sites.

The event isn't just about exploring the outdoors. Along the route, you'll encounter Pokémon mascots and renowned trainers, adding to the festive atmosphere. If you need a break, head to the team lounges to recharge before diving into the competitive action at the PvP battleground. And don't forget to keep an eye out for exclusive event merchandise that you won't find anywhere else!

While Pokémon Go Fest may not draw crowds on the scale of major sporting events, it significantly boosts the local economy and showcases the immense passion of the Pokémon Go community. Paris hosting this event is a testament to the recognition and enthusiasm surrounding the game, benefiting both fans and Niantic alike.

Keep an eye out for more Pokémon Go Fests later this year, as the excitement heads to Osaka and New Jersey. These events offer fans the chance to come together and strive 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 Pokémon Go community through 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 around the world.
