Pokemon GO Fest 2025 Gears Up for Global Unveiling

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

Pokemon GO Fest 2025 is coming, with Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris confirmed as host cities. This announcement is sure to excite fans who travel internationally for these annual events.

While Pokemon GO's overall popularity has lessened since its launch, the GO Fest remains a significant draw, bringing players together worldwide. These events typically feature unique Pokemon spawns, including region-exclusive or previously unavailable Shiny Pokemon. For those unable to attend in person, a global event usually offers similar benefits.

The 2025 festivities will kick off in Osaka, Japan (May 29 - June 1), followed by Jersey City, New Jersey (June 6-8), and concluding in Paris, France (June 13-15). Specific details regarding event content and ticket pricing are yet to be released by Niantic, but more information will be shared as the dates approach.

2024's GO Fest: A Potential Indicator for 2025 Pricing?

Anticipation for this year's Pokemon GO Fest is high, and ticket prices will be a key focus. Past ticket costs have remained relatively stable, with regional variations. In 2023 and 2024, Japan saw prices around ¥3500-¥3600, while Europe experienced a decrease, from roughly $40 USD in 2023 to $33 in 2024. US pricing was consistent at $30, and the global event remained at $14.99 for both years.

Despite exciting new in-game events, a recent price hike for Community Day tickets (from $1 to $2 USD) has caused player discontent. This raises concerns about potential GO Fest price increases. Given the negative player reaction to this smaller price adjustment, Niantic will likely proceed cautiously, particularly considering the dedication of those traveling to attend the in-person events.
