Pokémon Go players find love in Madrid as proposals flood Go Fest

Pokémon Go Fest Madrid: A Festival of Love and Pokémon!

Pokémon Go Fest in Madrid was a resounding success, attracting a huge crowd of players. But the event wasn't just about catching Pokémon; it was also a breeding ground for romance!

Remember the excitement of Pokémon Go's initial launch? While its global dominance has waned, millions remain dedicated players. These enthusiasts flocked to Madrid for the recent Go Fest, exploring the city, collecting rare Pokémon, and connecting with fellow trainers. However, for several attendees, the air was filled with more than just Pokéballs – it was filled with love!

At least five couples publicly proposed during the event, and all received a resounding "Yes!"

"The timing was perfect," shared Martina, who proposed to Shaun. "After eight years, six of them long-distance, we've finally settled together. This is the ideal way to celebrate our new life."

The Madrid Go Fest, held earlier this month, attracted over 190,000 attendees – a significant number that underscores the game's enduring appeal. While Niantic offered a special package for proposals, many more romantic moments likely occurred off-camera. Nevertheless, the event highlights the role Pokémon Go has played in bringing couples together.
