Pokémon GO Fest 2020! New Details! $5 MILLION Donation! | Pokémon GO News #66
1A few weeks ago the dates of Pokémon GO Fest 2020 were announced to be July 25th and 26th.
More details have finally been revealed.
Pokémon GO Fest 2020 will take place over two days. Each day will provide a unique experience and a different Special Research story to enjoy. Trainers will be able to participate in both days of the event with one ticket.
On July 25th from 10am to 8pm local time, Trainers will enjoy the following:
• Access to a Special Research story that they can only get on Day 1.
• Five rotating habitats, themed around fire, water, grass, battle and friendship, that will feature special Pokémon that go along with their theme. These habitats will rotate every hour, so each habitat will be featured twice during Day 1.
• Trainers will be able to work together in the Global Challenge Arena. This GO Fest exclusive feature will be available only to ticket holders. In the Global Challenge Arena, Trainers will have a chance to join forces in order to complete a collaborative challenge each hour. If Trainers complete a challenge, they will earn a bonus for the remainder of the hour. You can check the Global Challenge Arena to keep track of global progress.
• Trainers will be able to encounter over 75 species of Pokémon in the wild, in raids and by completing Special Research tasks.
On July 26th from 10am to 8pm local time, Trainers will enjoy something very different, which will be a surprise. There’ll also be another Special Research story to enjoy.
There are also some extra features.
Regardless of whether they have a ticket, Trainers in the US can order a commemorative Pokémon GO Fest 2020 T-shirt, available online from PokemonCenter.com while supplies last.
There will also be free downloadable and printable paper crafts and decorations available to download for a limited time.
Tickets to Pokémon GO Fest 2020 are now available in the in-app shop. Tickets are $14.99 plus any applicable taxes and fees or the equivalent in your local currency, and cannot be purchased with Pokécoins.
In the shop, tap the Pokémon GO Fest 2020 image and tap the buy button. You’ll then see a pop-up indicating that you’ve received a ticket. After you tap OK, you can find the ticket in your Item Bag. A few days before the event, you’ll receive a medal. When you open the app during Day 1, you’ll receive access to the first Special Research story. Make sure to open the app during Day 2 to receive the second Special Research story. After you’ve obtained the Special Research lines, you can complete them at any time.
All Trainers globally, regardless of whether they have a ticket, will be able to enjoy three weeks of weekly challenges in the form of Pokémon GO Fest 2020 Timed Research lines. By completing these research lines, Trainers will unlock additional Pokémon appearances during Go Fest.
Niantic will be donating proceeds from GO Fest ticket sales, committing to a minimum of $5 million. Half of the proceeds will be used to fund new projects from Black gaming and AR creators that can live on the Niantic platform, with the goal of increasing content that represents a more diverse view of the world. The other half will go to US nonprofit organisations that are helping local communities rebuild.
