Bags are getting packed, mobile phones and chargers are being charged, and the community is complaining about the smallest of things? Must be a Pokémon Go Fest coming up, and I’m all here for it!
I plan to attend the Paris Go Fest in-person event in June (even if it has, by far, some of the worst Pokémon on offer in comparison to New Jersey’s Bombadier and Osaka’s Drampa spawns) and have been diligently preparing for the trip by saving up Poké Balls, Lures, Egg Incubators, and everything else I need to maximize my chances of finding my Shiny Pokémon targets.
For a lot of people, including myself, Shiny Pokémon and new Pokémon spawns are the main reason you go to these events, either by yourself or with a group of friends or as part of a community, but it got me wondering what others such as yourself are planning to do, or hope to achieve, while out there.
We have Zacian and Zamazenta raids to look forward to, as well as an unannounced three-star raid during the Global portion that’ll surely be announced closer to the end of June. But what are you hoping to achieve while travelling the world?
Do you have a list of Pokémon you hope to catch to complete your Pokédex, like Skiddo? Are you using the events as an excuse to travel and maybe finally go somewhere like Japan for the first time? Is this your first ever in-person Go Fest, and you just want to share your hopes for the experience?
Let us know down below in the comments section. We’d love to hear what your plans and hopes are or, if like me, you are praying you come across a Shiny Frigibax (Shiny debut at Go Fest btw), before the trip is over.
And if you are at Go Fest Paris in person and see a guy rocking a Destructoid shirt. It’s likely me—so come say hi!
