Pokémon GO Safari Zone: Global Locations Revealed

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

Pokemon GO has announced the locations for its 2025 GO Fest: Osaka, Japan; Jersey City, New Jersey; and Paris, France. Dates are set for May 29th-June 1st (Osaka), June 6th-8th (Jersey City), and June 13th-15th (Paris). Further details, including ticket pricing and event specifics, will be revealed closer to the event dates.

While the game's overall popularity has lessened since its launch, Pokemon GO Fest remains a significant draw, bringing players together worldwide. These events typically feature unique Pokemon spawns, including region-exclusive and previously unavailable Shiny forms. While attendance is a major draw for many, the global event offers comparable benefits for those unable to travel.

2024 GO Fest: A Potential Indicator for 2025 Pricing?

Ticket prices for past GO Fests have shown regional variations and minor year-to-year adjustments. However, a recent price increase for Community Day tickets from $1 to $2 USD has sparked player concern. This increase could foreshadow a potential price hike for the 2025 GO Fest. Given the negative player reaction to the Community Day price change, Niantic will likely approach 2025 GO Fest pricing cautiously, especially considering the dedication of attendees who travel internationally for the event. The pricing history provides some context: Japan saw tickets around ¥3500-¥3600 in 2023 and 2024; European prices dropped from roughly $40 USD in 2023 to $33 in 2024; and US prices remained at $30 for both years, with global tickets consistently priced at $14.99.
