The year 2017 marked the year the first Pokémon Go Fest was held. It was held in Chicago’s Grant Park. The fest continued to be held in the next two years, 2019 being bringing a major surprise to Pokémon Go players from all around the world; the fest was planned to be held in three separate cities: Chicago, Dortmund and Yokohama. The events in Chicago and Dortmund finished, but the Pokémon go fest in Yokohama have just started on August 6th and is scheduled to continue until August 12th.
The peaks of Pokémon Go Fest Yokohama
While the real pinnacle is being there at the fest, the rest of the world that were unable to participate at the events in the three cities, regardless of whether you did not have the means to travel to these places or you live too far away from them, also has something to gain from the global challenges planned by the organisers.
Global challenges
