Pokemon GO Fest 2025: Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris!
Pokemon GO Fest 2025 is coming to Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris! This exciting news has already got fans planning their travel arrangements. While the initial Pokemon GO craze has cooled, the annual GO Fest remains a major draw for players worldwide, offering unique Pokemon encounters, including region-exclusive and previously unobtainable Shiny forms. Though details are scarce for now, including pricing and specific event features, Niantic promises more information as the dates approach.

2024 GO Fest: A Potential Precursor to 2025 Pricing?
The pricing for past Pokemon GO Fests varied by location, with minor fluctuations year-over-year. However, a recent price hike for Community Day tickets – from $1 to $2 USD – has sparked player concern about potential GO Fest cost increases. This discontent could influence Niantic's pricing decisions for 2025, given the dedication of players who travel internationally for these events. Past pricing ranged from approximately ¥3500-¥3600 in Japan, $33-$40 USD in Europe (decreasing from 2023 to 2024), and $30 USD in the US, with a consistent global price of $14.99.
The 2024 Pokemon GO Fest will likely offer clues regarding Niantic's plans for 2025. With new events and encounters already unveiled for 2024, the company will need to carefully consider the community's reaction to any price adjustments for the upcoming GO Fest.
