Pokémon GO Fest 2025 Cities Unveiled

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

Pokemon GO's 2025 GO Fest locations have been announced: 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). While details on event features and pricing remain scarce, Niantic promises further updates as the dates approach.

Despite a decline in overall player numbers since its launch, Pokemon GO maintains a dedicated fanbase, and GO Fest remains a highly anticipated annual event. These in-person celebrations offer unique Pokemon encounters, including region-exclusive and previously unavailable Shiny Pokemon. A global event typically complements the in-person celebrations.

2024 GO Fest: A Potential Indicator for 2025 Pricing?

Ticket pricing for past GO Fests has shown regional variations and minor year-to-year fluctuations. However, a recent price hike for Community Day tickets – from $1 to $2 USD – has sparked player discontent. This increase fuels speculation about potential price increases for the 2025 GO Fest. Given the negative community reaction to the Community Day price change, Niantic is likely to approach GO Fest pricing cautiously, particularly considering the dedicated fanbase that travels internationally for these events. The 2024 GO Fest pricing (approximately ¥3500-¥3600 in Japan, $33 in Europe in 2024, $30 in the US, and $14.99 globally) may provide some insight into the 2025 pricing strategy.
