Pokemon Go is on the go again and traveling to the city of lights. Niantic, the developer of Pokemon Go, has announced that Pokemon Go Fest is heading to Paris, France and inviting trainers from all over the world to take part in the celebration.
Via the Pokemon Go official site, Pokemon Go Fest: Paris will take place in the city of Paris and the Parc de Sceaux from June 13-15. Early bird tickets are on sale today, March 6, before the tickets go up to full price on April 2. This event will feature the Pokemon Go debut of Volcanion, Every player with a ticket will receive access to special research about the creature and get a chance to encounter it.
Players on hand will also have the first opportunity to see the new forms of Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta during Five Star Raids. As in Pokemon Go Fest’s previous stops, Niantic will provide a curated route that will let players take in some of Paris’ landmarks while keeping an eye out for elusive Pokemon. The Parc de Sceaux will have real-life Pokemon habitats where players can meet Pokemon mascots and trainers, compete head-to-head in the PVP battle ground, and shop for exclusive merchandise.
“The charm of Paris, its walkability, and its globally recognized landmarks create the perfect playground for Pokémon GO Fest,” said Pokemon Go Live Events Marketing Manager Lena Cillis in a statement. “We’re eager to see Trainers explore this beautiful city and the elegant Parc de Sceaux alongside France’s passionate community and visitors from around the world.”
Before this event, Pokemon Go Fest will visit Osaka, Japan from May 29-June 1, and Jersey City, New Jersey from June 6-8. Following Pokemon Go Fest: Paris, Ninatic will hold a Pokemon Go Fest Global event from June 28-29.
If you’re looking for something to do sooner, Niantic has already shared the Pokemon Go events for March. Outside of Pokemon Go, The Pokemon Company CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara recently suggested that the franchise could go downhill if the company ever loses its focus. So far, there are no signs of that happening. In fact, the next Pokemon Switch game, Pokemon Legends Z-A, recently unveiled a few of its starter Pokeman ahead of its launch late this year.
