FULL STORY ======================================================================

Pokmon Go Fest 2022 kicks off this June and will see the annual community gathering holding in-person events for the first time since 2019.

According to a post on the Pokmon website, announcing this year's global Pokmon Go event, developer Niantic has scheduled Pokmon Go Fest events from June through August. But while there are a few global events on the cards, there are also three in-person events scheduled: in Berlin, Seattle and Sapporo.

Details on timings and tickets haven't been revealed yet, but we expect Niantic will share more in the coming months. Until then, check out the (loose) schedule below: June 4 - June 5: global event July 1 - July 3: in-person event in Berlin, Germany July 22 - July 24: in-person event in Seattle, Washington August 5 - August 7: in-person event in Sapporo, Japan August 27 - global event

This will be the first time Pokmon Go Fest will host in-person events in
three years. The last Pokmon Go Fest took place in 2019, before the Covid-19 pandemic, and subsequent events were held remotely, letting you could take part in them from your lovely lockdown abode. At least, they did until now. But are players ready? (Image credit: Nintendo / Niantic)

It will be interesting to see what attendance is like for these events, as Niantic has recently faced backlash over forcing players outside with its Community Days and its removal of the Incense stationary bonus . It seems the developer really wants to start pushing us outside again, even if we're not all ready yet.

Fortunately, there will at least be some global events as part of Pokmon Go Fest 2022, which was always the case, as not all trainers are able to globe-trot with ease. However, it's not entirely clear if these events will require you to go outside to take part or if you can continue to do so from your own home. Where is Kecleon in Pokmon Go? We asked Niantic for an answer
