The popular Pokemon Go Fest goes virtual for 2020, it is taken by the bad guys


Apparently, locks can’t stop Pokémon.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Pokemon Go Fest made significant changes to its format. Usually, the annual event takes fans to specific locations for various events and activities.

This year, however, the event used a virtual format that fans around the world could access. According to the official website, tickets for the event cost $ 14.99 and unlocked features that players can access from anywhere in the world (instead of being available only in specific locations).

The event started on Saturday, but players should expect serious changes on the second day, reports Mercury Press.
