Pokemon GO Fest 2025: Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris to Host the Event
Pokemon GO's 2025 GO Fest locations have been announced: Osaka (May 29-June 1), Jersey City (June 6-8), and Paris (June 13-15). While specific details remain scarce, including pricing and featured Pokemon, Niantic promises further information closer to the event dates.
The enduring appeal of Pokemon GO, despite its initial hype waning, is evident in the continued popularity of GO Fest. This annual event, typically held across three global cities, attracts players with unique Pokemon spawns, including region-exclusive and previously unavailable Shiny variants. The global event mirrors many of the in-person experiences for those unable to attend.
2024 GO Fest: A Potential Indicator for 2025 Pricing?
Ticket pricing for past GO Fests has shown regional variations and minor year-to-year fluctuations. However, a recent price hike for Community Day tickets (from $1 to $2 USD) has sparked player discontent and raised concerns about potential GO Fest price increases. Given the negative reaction to this smaller price adjustment, Niantic might be cautious about raising GO Fest prices, particularly considering the dedication of attendees who travel significant distances for the event. The 2024 GO Fest pricing provides a potential benchmark for 2025, with past prices ranging from approximately ¥3500-¥3600 in Japan, $33-$40 in Europe, and $30 in the US, while the global event consistently cost $14.99.
