\nCatch Rare Pok\u00e9mon<\/p>\n
Following successful events in New York, London, and Madrid last year, Paris will be this year\u2019s only European location for the Pok\u00e9mon Go Fest<\/b>, a strategic choice for Niantic, captivated by the vibrant French capital and its highly active gaming community.<\/p>\n
While Niantic has kept details of the Paris event under wraps<\/b>, several enticing features have already been announced. These include real-world and mobile games that blend physical and digital exploration, arenas for challenging friends in spirited battles, merchandise booths to grab unique memorabilia, and photo ops with Pok\u00e9mon mascots to capture the memories.<\/p>\n
However, the highlight of the festival will be the debut of Volcanion<\/b>, a mythical Pok\u00e9mon that players will have the chance to encounter for the first time in Pok\u00e9mon Go. This special appearance has been confirmed by Lena Cillis, Niantic\u2019s Event Marketing Manager.<\/p>\n
Connections and a United Community<\/p>\n
Beyond the captures and battles, Pok\u00e9mon Go Fest is primarily a social experience.<\/b> Dan Hill, Niantic\u2019s Senior Director of Marketing, emphasizes the importance of human interactions in the game. Every day, we hear stories about people who have overcome their fear of going outside thanks to Pok\u00e9mon Go. Last year, seven couples even got engaged during the festival, and we expect even more in the city of love.<\/p>\n
With tens of thousands<\/b> of attendees expected, including 70% from outside France, the Paris event promises to be electrifying, filled with exchanges, discoveries, and a shared passion for the Pok\u00e9mon universe.<\/p>\n
Tickets for Pok\u00e9mon Go Fest Paris 2024 went on sale Thursday, March 6 at 1 PM. Early bird tickets (purchased before April 2) are priced at 22 euros, while standard tickets (starting April 2) will be 27 euros. However, act fast, as demand is expected to be high. Last year\u2019s Madrid edition attracted 27,000 trainers to the festival site and 192,000 throughout the city, generating 35 million euros in revenue.<\/b><\/p>\n
Why Paris? Niantic\u2019s choice of Paris as its sole European stop is no coincidence. The French capital is among the most active cities on Pok\u00e9mon Go. In 2023, 192 million Pok\u00e9mon were caught in Paris. Players walked 22 million kilometers through the streets of Paris. These statistics make Paris the second largest European city for the Pok\u00e9mon Go community, just behind London.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s official!
