Pokemon GO Fest 2025: Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris to Host the Event

Pokemon GO's 2025 GO Fest locations have been unveiled: Osaka (Japan), Jersey City (New Jersey), and Paris (France). The event will span May 29th to June 15th, with each city hosting a separate leg. Specific details regarding event features and ticket pricing remain undisclosed, pending further announcements from Niantic as the dates approach.

While the overall popularity of Pokemon GO may have waned since its launch, the annual GO Fest remains a significant draw for dedicated players worldwide. These events typically feature unique Pokemon spawns, including region-exclusive or previously unavailable Shiny variants, making attendance highly desirable for many. A global event usually accompanies the in-person celebrations, offering similar benefits to those unable to attend the main events.

2024 GO Fest: A Potential Indicator for 2025 Pricing?

Ticket prices for past GO Fests have shown regional variations and minor fluctuations year-over-year. However, recent changes in Pokemon GO Community Day ticket pricing – a price increase from $1 to $2 USD – have sparked player concern. This unexpected rise has generated negative feedback within the community and raises questions about the potential for increased GO Fest ticket prices in 2025. Given the existing player dissatisfaction, Niantic may face pressure to maintain or even lower prices for the in-person GO Fest events, especially considering the dedication of fans who travel considerable distances to attend.
