Pokémon Go Fest 2020: Here is the program

We can easily imagine the panic in the heads of the guys at home Niantic : “shit, is it a little tense to call thousands of people to come together in the same place to hunt shinys, no?” . Well, yes, it’s tense. This is why they chose to make a not trivial move: organize a Pokemon Go Fest 100% online, as they just taught us in a blog post posted on their site. “A totally redesigned virtual experience is coming”, they teasent (from the verb teaser), and it will be on July 25 and 26. “You will enjoy a full weekend of bonuses, exceptional Pokémon encounters and brand new Special Studies, but you will also be able to play with the other Trainers and discover other fun surprises throughout the summer”, they still explain.

For those who have not followed too much, know that this is an absolutely monstrous event. The last in Chicago, Dortmund and Yokohama, brought together in total 600,000 people ! It’s less than the number of mobs to whack in FFXIII for manage to beat the last boss, but it’s still a hell of a lot. This record should explode this year thanks to the transition to all digital. Theoretically, everyone can participate. But it will still have to go to the cashier. Because only ticket holders can experience the adventures touted by Niantic. Last year, the price of this precious sesame was 35 euros. We imagine that it will be cheaper this year.
