Community Campsites are set to be introduced in Pokemon GO, enhancing local communities with additional PokeStops and Gyms. This new feature, announced by Scopely, follows their takeover from Niantic, but it has sparked mixed reactions among trainers. While some players view it as an exciting addition to the game, others express frustration over the challenges in becoming a Community Ambassador.
This year, the highly anticipated Pokemon GO Fest 2025 will be hosted in three vibrant cities: Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris. Legendary Giants will make their return during this event, adding to the excitement. The festival, celebrated during the summer, aims to gather trainers in person, offering a unique experience for fans of the game.
Ahead of the event, there will be an Ancients Recovered event from June 23 to 27, showcasing these beloved legendary creatures. As part of ongoing updates, the June GO Pass is now available, providing reward details for players. The recent launch of the Community Campsites feature will coincide with the Pokemon GO Community Day on June 21, which highlights the Dragon-type creature, Jangmo-o.
Community Campsites aim to strengthen bonds within local player groups by being established through Community Ambassadors, who are encouraged to apply if they are dedicated, community-oriented players. These ambassadors will enjoy various benefits, including exclusive item codes and support from the game developers. While many trainers are excited about the new feature, there are concerns regarding the requirement to be more socially active, making some feel pressured to step out of their comfort zones.
Additionally, July is shaping up to be significant for Pokemon fans, with the anticipation of a new Pokemon Presents showcase. Many are eager for gameplay footage from Nintendo’s upcoming Pokemon Legends: Z-A, and hope for a reveal of the Generation 10 roster during the event.
