"Pokemon GO Fest 2025 Cities Revealed"

As the new year kicks off, Pokemon GO enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating the next big event: Pokemon GO Fest 2025. The excitement is building as Niantic has already announced the three host cities for this year's festivities: Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris. These locations promise to bring the magic of Pokemon GO to fans worldwide, and those who regularly attend these events should start planning their trips now.

Although the initial fervor for Pokemon GO has cooled since its launch, the game continues to captivate a dedicated global community. Pokemon GO Fest stands out as a premier event, drawing players together for in-person celebrations. These festivals are known for introducing new or rare Pokemon, including those typically locked to specific regions or yet to be released in Shiny forms. While attending in person offers a unique experience, the global version of the event provides similar benefits for those unable to travel.

For 2025, the event schedule is set to kick off in Osaka, Japan, from May 29 to June 1, followed by Jersey City, New Jersey, from June 6-8, and concluding in Paris, France, from June 13-15. As of now, specific details such as pricing and featured Pokemon remain under wraps. Niantic has promised to release more information as the events approach, keeping fans on the edge of their seats.

2024's Pokemon GO Fest May Shed Light on 2025 Plans

Looking back at recent years can provide some insight into what to expect for 2025. In 2023 and 2024, ticket prices for Pokemon GO Fest remained relatively consistent. In Japan, attendees paid between ¥3500 and ¥3600, while in Europe, prices saw a slight decrease from $40 USD in 2023 to $33 in 2024. In the US, the cost stayed steady at $30 for both years, and global tickets were priced at $14.99 across the board. These regional variations highlight how location can influence event costs.

This year, Pokemon GO has introduced a series of new events and encounters, but not all changes have been met with enthusiasm. The increase in Pokemon GO Community Day ticket prices from $1 to $2 USD has sparked discontent among players. This adjustment may foreshadow a potential rise in Pokemon GO Fest ticket prices for 2025. Given the backlash Niantic has faced over this modest price hike, the company will need to approach any further increases with caution, especially considering the passion and dedication of in-person GO Fest attendees.
