Pokémon Go Fest Madrid: A resounding success, not just for player attendance, but for love! The event, which drew over 190,000 attendees, saw five couples publicly propose, all receiving a resounding "yes!"
We fondly remember Pokémon Go's initial global craze, the thrill of discovering Pokémon in our neighborhoods. While its peak popularity has subsided, millions remain dedicated players. These passionate fans flocked to Madrid's Pokémon Go Fest, exploring the city, catching rare Pokémon, connecting with fellow players, and celebrating their shared love for the game. But for some, the celebration extended beyond Pokémon; it became a backdrop for proposals.
Five couples captured their special moments on camera, each popping the question amidst the excitement of the festival. Remarkably, all five received a joyful "yes!"
Madrid's Magical Marriages
"It was the perfect moment," shared Martina, who proposed to Shaun after eight years, six of which were long-distance. "We've just started living together, and this is the best way to celebrate our new life."
Held earlier this month, Pokémon Go Fest Madrid was a massive hit. While not reaching the attendance of major sporting events, 190,000 attendees is still a significant achievement. Niantic's special proposal package suggests many more proposals likely occurred, though not all were documented. Regardless, the event highlights the enduring connections forged through the shared passion of Pokémon Go.
