Pokémon Go Fest Madrid: A resounding success, not just for player turnout, but for love!

The recent Pokémon Go Fest in Madrid, Spain, drew a massive crowd of dedicated players. While the event was a celebration of the game, it also played host to an unexpected surge of romance. Five couples, cameras rolling, popped the question, and all five received a resounding "Yes!"

Love in the Spanish Capital

The event provided the perfect backdrop for these couples to take the next step. One couple, Martina and Shaun, who had endured a six-year long-distance relationship, commented on the significance of the proposal, stating it was the ideal way to celebrate their new life together.

The festival itself was a huge success, attracting over 190,000 attendees. While not on par with major sporting events, this impressive number underscores the enduring popularity of Pokémon Go.

Niantic's special offer for proposing couples suggests even more proposals may have taken place, though not all were captured on camera. Regardless, the event highlights the significant role Pokémon Go has played in bringing several couples together. The game continues to foster community and create lasting memories, proving that sometimes, the greatest catches are found outside the PokéStops.
