Leading Up to GO Fest
A series of Timed Research activities will be going live in the weeks prior to GO Fest 2020. These events will be called Pokémon GO Fest 2020 Timed Research and will be release three weeks before GO Fest. The completion of these activities will unlock additional Pokémon appearances during Pokémon GO Fest 2020. These Timed Research events will be available to all players.
Don’t forget that Niantic has promised that a miminum of $5 million dollars from GO Fest proceeds will be going to support fund new projects from Black gaming and AR creators that can live on the Niantic platform. The goal for this half will be to increasing content that represents a more diverse view of the world. The other half will go to US nonprofit organizations that are helping local communities rebuild.
Don’t forget your ticket for Pokemon GO Fest and make sure to go have fun while observing social distancing.
