168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokémon GO Fest 2020 happened over the weekend, and because of COVID-19, the event was held globally instead of in one location. For $14.99, trainers got to participate in all the wonderful events and bonuses that Pokémon GO Fest offers. After participating in Pokémon GO Fest and talking to other trainers about the event, it is clear that Niantic needs to make Pokémon GO Fest 2020 the standard going forward.
What happened at Pokémon GO Fest 2020?
Pokémon GO Fest was a two-day event this year. Day one focused on the habitats that are present at the previous GO Fests. At GO Fests in the past, different areas were set up to represent different habitats of Pokémon. For example, a grass habitat would be set up in one part of the park, while an ice habitat would be set up in another part. To simulate the habitat in-game, Niantic would create real-life habitats in the area. In the ice habitat, fake snow would be falling from the sky. To imitate the habitat portion of Pokémon GO Fest, five habita𓆉ts would ♏rotate into the game each hour.
The habitats were water, grass, battle, friendship, and fire. Each hour would come with a global challenge that trainers had to meet in order to unlock bonuses. During the water hour, trainers would have to make great throws in order toꦓ unlock triple stardust for the rest of the hour. A big appeal of the GO Fest is catching shiny versions of Pokémon, and there was a lot of shiny Pokémon to catch.
Day two focused on special research, which is a questline created for Pokémon GO Fest 2020. The game saw Team Rocket invade the festival, taking over Pokéstops, and having trainers complete quests. The event allowed trainers to catch shadow Pokémon of Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, and Mewtwo. Trainers who completed the special research were rewarded with Victini, a mythical Pokémon introduced to Pokémon GO for the first time through this event.
Pokémon GO Fest During The Pandemic
2020 has been a terrible year for everyone. Pokémon GO has had to adjust how players play the game, considering that the game revolves around the player walking outside and interacting with people. Niantic has done a great job of adjusting the game so players can pl🙈ay from home, or while social distancing. The range to be in a Pokéstop has been increased, and new remote raid passes were introduced so players can raid from home. During my experience over the weekend, players were maintaining their distance and wearing masks. Overall, the event was a success and players want GO Fest to be everywhere in the future.
Pokémon GO Fest Moving Forward
Pokémon GO Fest's biggest problem in the past was that it was too small to host such a large community. The event celebrated the community, but the truth is, there are many communities all over the world that play this game. Fitting them all 𝔍into a central location does not do justice to the people that the game has ไbrought together.
Caitlin Callaghan, a trainer who attended last year's GO Fest, and participated in this year's GO Fest believes that GO Fest should happen everywhere. "I believe it should offer a ticket for everywhere, moving forward," she said. "Maඣny players want to take part, but for monetary, time, or obligation reasons cannot make the trip to a central location. The physical constraints of a real-world location mean that there will be many more people who want to attend than the venue capacity would allow."
In my own personal group's experience, it's been difficult for us to justify tr🐼aveling for the event. We were overjoyed to hear that we were going to participate in this year's festivities. My friend said "I always felt left out whenever it was held in Chicago. It was the first time I felt like I was part of that event and want to do it again." It would be a mistake for Niantic to go back to the🍸 way things are after more people got to participate in the event this year.
Even with GO Fest being held everywhere in the future, that does not mean that N𓄧iantic can't have an in-person GO Fest event in the future. The experiences attending GO Fest are unmatched, and there is a chance that both in-person and remote events can happen at the same time. It might cosꦓt more to attend in person, but it is worth it according to Callaghan. "Having an in-person, organized event could not happen simultaneously with a global event. I attended the in-person event last year, which featured more than enough material to justify the $10 price increase over this year. But both options should be available."
