Pokémon Go Fest is coming back to Europe, this time setting up in Paris

Get ready, Pokémon Go enthusiasts in Europe! The much-anticipated Pokémon Go Fest is making its grand return to the continent, and this year, the enchanting city of Paris is set to host this thrilling event. Mark your calendars for June 13th to 15th, because it's going to be a non-stop Pokémon Go extravaganza. Tickets are now available, so don't miss your chance to be part of the action!

For those unfamiliar with the excitement, Pokémon Go Fest is a live event where thousands of players gather in a designated area to celebrate their love for the game. Ticket holders will have exclusive access to Special Research and the opportunity to encounter the legendary Pokémon, Volcanion, for the very first time. The event will feature specially-marked routes that lead participants to iconic landmarks and breathtaking natural sites throughout Paris.

But it's not just about exploring the city. You'll also get to meet Pokémon Mascots and renowned 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 keep an eye out for exclusive event merchandise that you won't find anywhere else!

While the scale of Pokémon Go Fest might not rival major sporting events, it still attracts a significant crowd and provides a substantial boost to the local economy. Paris hosting this event is a testament to the widespread recognition of the fervor and dedication of Pokémon Go fans. It's a win-win situation for both Niantic and the city.

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

If you're not in Paris, Osaka, or New Jersey, but rather in Chile or India, you can still participate in the exciting new Wayfarer Challenge. Contribute to the Pokémon Go community by nominating local landmarks and beauty spots as new PokéStops and Gyms, spreading the joy of the game to more players than ever before!
