SAN FRANCISCO - Niantic, Inc. and The Pokémon Company International have unveiled new details for Pokémon GO’s global events and real-world activities for Trainers around the world to participate in together. Pokémon GO Fest Chicago will feature a variety of activities for Trainers including unique ways for players at the event and across the globe to work together simultaneously to complete unique challenges and earn special in-game rewards. In addition to Pokemon GO Fest, Trainers in Europe will have a chance to team up this summer across seven cities during Pokémon GO Safari Zone events where they can catch rare Pokémon, obtain special rewards and take on powerful Raid Bosses.
Pokémon GO Fest will take place on Saturday, July 22 in Grant Park, located in the heart of downtown Chicago. Throughout the day, Trainers will be able to participate in three Challenge Window activities where they must work together to catch certain types of Pokémon in order to unlock a variety of perks for Pokémon GO players around the world. Trainers outside of Chicago will be able to participate in the festivities by catching as many Pokémon as possible during these Challenge Windows to extend the duration of bonuses unlocked by those attending Pokémon GO Fest. If Trainers around the world catch enough Pokémon, a mystery challenge will be revealed at Pokémon GO Fest Chicago for the potential to unlock an extra-special bonus across the globe.
