Pokemon Go fest today
2Hi, if you’re still playing Pokemon Go, there’s a big event today- in person for folks around Chicago, and virtually for people not in the area.

For today, there’s special events happening at 11 am CT, 1 pm CT, and 3 pm CT.
On July 23rd, the same kind of mystery event that people at Pokemon Go fest get to do will be rolled out to everyone- it’s apparently a raid against a legendary Pokemon.

The special event is “we fucked up”.

I’m glad I wasn’t crazy enough to go. But I did just catch a Mr Mime. He’s creepy.

Blame the goat that you didn’t go- you’d be getting a free legendary Pokemon for your troubles:

Make sure to get your legendary tomorrow- you’ll be able to fight Lugia, one of the Gen 2 legendary Pokemon. Also, thanks to Team Mystic, Articuno is lined up as the next legendary for sometime this year.
@dashcloud Earlier I heard that all the festival ticket buyers were getting refunds for their ticket price, plus $100 worth of pokecoins stuck into their account. Not a great compensation for those who traveled long distances, but its something.
I was going to try doing the extra captures during their half hour events, but the two I was able to be out walking for (with incense even) were complete dry spells. 60 minutes and only saw (and caught) two standard pokemon. During the in between periods they seemed to spawn much more normally.
I’m not team Mystic so I think they fixed it
