Pokemon GO Fest 2025 Cities Revealed

The excitement for Pokemon GO continues into 2025, with the announcement of the next Pokemon GO Fest locations: Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris. Dedicated fans who travel annually for these events should start planning their trips now, as the dates have been set: Osaka from May 29 to June 1, Jersey City from June 6-8, and Paris from June 13-15. While specific details about the events, including pricing and featured Pokemon, are yet to be revealed, Niantic promises to share more information as the dates approach.

Although the initial fervor for Pokemon GO has waned since its launch, the game still boasts a dedicated global community. The Pokemon GO Fest remains one of the most anticipated events, bringing players together in person across multiple cities. These festivals typically offer unique opportunities such as encounters with rare or region-locked Pokemon, and the chance to catch them in their Shiny forms. For those unable to attend in person, the global version of the event provides similar benefits, ensuring everyone can participate in the excitement.

Looking back at the previous years can give us some insight into what to expect for 2025. Ticket prices for the 2023 and 2024 events showed regional variations but remained relatively stable. In Japan, attendees paid around ¥3500-¥3600, while in Europe, prices saw a slight decrease from $40 USD in 2023 to $33 in 2024. In the US, the cost was consistent at $30 for both years, and the global event tickets were priced at $14.99.

As Pokemon GO rolls out new events and encounters for 2024, there's a shadow of discontent among players due to a recent price increase for Community Day tickets, rising from $1 to $2 USD. This change has sparked concerns that Pokemon GO Fest ticket prices might also see an uptick in 2025. Given the passionate fanbase that travels to these in-person events, Niantic will need to handle any potential price adjustments carefully to maintain the community's trust and enthusiasm.
