A few days ago, we posed the question: Will There Be A Make-Up Day for Pokémon GO Fest Make-Up Day? The answer, as it turns out, is "yes." Due to Shiny Unown being mistakenly unavailable to Pokémon GO trainers in certain locations during the event, Niantic is offering yet another re-do for GO Fest 2020 to […]
Tomorrow is GO Fest 2020 Make-up Day in Pokémon GO. It will run Sunday August 15th from 11AM to 2PM local time, as an apology of sorts from Niantic for the server issues during the first day of GO Fest 2020. Later on today, we will be reporting what exactly the day will entail as […]
Niantic shocked its player base last week by introducing the ultra-rare Gible into raids in Pokémon GO for the first time, and now that little shark-like wild boy is back for Ultra Unlock: Dragon Week. Gible is now appearing in Tier Two raids with its Shiny form available, along with the legendary dragon Rayquaza. Bleeding […]
Pokémon GO Fest 2020 is just around for corner for Pokémon GO players, as Niantic brings their annual blowout event to trainers remotely.

Pokémon GO Fest has a new commercial out, and it was surprisingly directed by an unlikely source as Rain Johnson decided to make it. With the event taking place in everyone's home due to COVID-19, the team behind the game has had to get a little more creative with the way its been promoted and […]
Good news for Pokémon fans as Pokémon GO Fest 2020 will still happen, but Niantic will be taking the event online for everyone to join. Normally at this time of year, we'd be talking about the plans for the festival to take place in one of Chicago's parks in July. But due to COVID-19 pushing everyone's […]
Nevermind the Team Rocket stuff happening in Pokémon GO right now, there are two more events on the way for the game in August.

If you're thinking about going to Pokémon GO Fest this year, you're going to have to enter a lottery to even qualify to purchase tickets.

In what feels like a really weird marketing campaign to find cities for events, Niantic is asking fans of Pokémon GO to do the work for them. The company has launched a new social media effort with the hashtag #NianticLive2020 to get you to decide where they should hold events. The company even released a […]

It's not too far-fetched to say that when Niantic announced a second Pokémon GO Fest in Chicago, a lot of people assumed it was going to be terrible. After last year's, let's say, "debacle" that ended in Niantic losing a lawsuit from festival attendees, we kind of assumed we might not be seeing it again. To our […]

You'd think after last year's debacle, Niantic would have learned their lesson and not thrown another Pokémon GO Fest where you charge money for thousands of people to come to a low wi-fi area and try to play your game. Clearly not as the company will be throwing a second festival in July, charging $20 a […]
Remember last year when the Pokémon GO Fest in Chicago turned out to be one of the most poorly conceived festivals in years, resulting in thousands of fans not being able to participate in the event and even booing Niantic staff on stage? At the time a lot of people went online declaring they wanted their […]
As you've already read on our site and others several times, Pokémon GO Fest was an absolute disaster.
