"We have been looking for this moment for six months."


"I am praying for good luck to be a wonderful day today," said John Hanke, Niantic, who develops and manages Pokemon GO.


However, Mr. Hanke who appeared in the event is booing ... ...


"Fix the game! Fix the game!"


"You can not play! You can not play!" What on earth event happened ...?


"If you think that Pokemon GO was prevalent, that is wrong! That is why we came in the Grand Park in Chicago"


"About 20,000 Pokemon GO players are flooding here"


"The reason is that you can get super rare Pokemon and legendary Pokemon"


"I think that such an event is a perfect way to celebrate the first anniversary," Mr. Hanke talks about the event held in commemoration of the first anniversary of Pokemon GO's service.


And a long line of people by those who have an early admission ticket for the event. As long as 6 o'clock in the morning the length of this row is terrible.


General visitors are lined up separately ... ...


The opening time of the park was 9 o'clock in the morning, but most of them seemed to have been unable to enter until three hours later.


When entering, get special medals and QR code ......


It is said that it is necessary to scan this with a pocket stop to participate in the event.


That's why it's 10 minutes from the start of the event.


A helicross that appeared only in South Africa has appeared.


Trainers who are delighted with getting a helicross immediately.



It seems that Pokemon has been appearing everywhere in the park.


This is the main stage of the event, announcements and update contents etc. are announced.


DJ sinks the music all day and makes the event excitement.


There is also a resting place for each team of red, blue and yellow.

Mystic (blue) camp's tent


"I am a Mystic camp, it seems that regional limited Pokemon will come out here and I'd definitely want to catch it to fill in the illustrations," he said.


Vara (red)


I also discovered the cooking kimono here.


"I am a team vara but I am a member of the rocket team so I'd like to join the Pikachu Raid"


"But I have never seen a Pikachu raid before," said a cheerful man.


I project the screen of the smartphone on a huge monitor ......


It is also possible to play Pokemon GO.


The sign of the park says "Do not play with the ball", but it seems that it was OK to play with the monster ball.


This is a shop where Pokemon GO goods can purchase. It seems that you can get 3 different Team T - shirts.


There are also zones where you can take a commemorative photo with Pikachu.


It seems that the event has also progressed well for the first hour ... ...


The server and network problems occurred, and people who can not play the game immediately will go on.


The reporter who actually visited the interview will also be unable to play Pokemon GO.


Voices of wailing saying "This is the sixth time today."


People are in the vicinity of the main stage of the event venue, which was originally rattling because it was supposed to have played Pokemon GO, but the game can not play. It seems that technical problems occurred due to too much load on the server and the network because the number of participants was 20,000 people.


"There are about 20,000 trainers in the park and we have millions of players around the world and today we need to bring together your power for a special and mysterious challenge There is an announcement. It seems that legendary Pokemon will emerge and it is necessary for everyone to adjust their power.


However, in fact, many appeared trainers that the application crashed and Pokemon GO could not play.


"I understand if you look behind me, but the row still goes out to the park and the game still crashes from morning.Therefore, participants frankly say, I am mad. "


The boosting storm on announcement on the main stage


And Mr. Hanke at the beginning of the movie will be the scene to be on stage.


Mr. Hanke will appeal to the participants from the stage that "We invite participants to understand that we are collaborating with mobile companies such as AT & T, Sprint, and Verizon to tackle the problem."


It is a feeling of the reporter, but it seems that Sprint and T-Mobile users seemed to be more connected than AT & T and Verizon users.


"Pokémon GO Fest was good or bad, there was nothing we can do here if our smartphone did not move" Voices of participants


In the vicinity of the stage, it is a big chorus of "You can not play!"


Meanwhile, the measures taken by the management side are the refund of event tickets.


And we gave 100 participants (about 11,000 yen) of poket coin to all event participants.


"It's a disaster anymore" A reporter who says it.


"When the legendary Pokemon comes in, it's been rumored and, hopefully, all the problems may be solved at the end of today."


However, the expected legendary Pokemon did not appear in the event.


Instead, Legia, a legendary Pokemon will be given to everyone who participates in the event.


After the event, Rugia and freezer seemed to appear similarly to other areas, and it seems that in Chicago it was possible to get with a capture rate of 100%.


Therefore, there are people who run around the city of Chicago and overpower the legendary Pokemon.


The appearance of the legendary Pokemon and the capture rate of 100% resulted in entertaining the fans over the event, the movie is spelling.
