Pokemon Go announces in-person event for later this year in Sao Paulo during gamescom latam

Niantic announces major Pokemon Go event in Sao Paulo, Brazil! Get ready for a city-wide celebration in December. The details are still under wraps, but expect a Pikachu-sized surprise.

This exciting news was revealed at gamescom latam 2024 by Niantic's Alan Madujano (Head of Operations in LATAM), Eric Araki (Country Manager for Brazil), and Leonardo Willie (Community Manager for Emerging Markets). They highlighted Pokemon Go's immense popularity in Brazil, fueled in part by reduced in-game item prices.

The Sao Paulo event is just the beginning. Niantic is collaborating with Brazilian city governments to increase the number of PokeStops and Gyms nationwide, ensuring a more enjoyable experience for all players. Partnerships with Sao Paulo's Civil House and shopping centers will contribute to a fun and safe event atmosphere.

To further celebrate the game's success in Brazil, a locally produced video showcasing Pokemon Go's impact has been released.
