Pokémon Go Fest Madrid: A resounding success, both for players and for love! The event drew a massive crowd, exceeding 190,000 attendees, proving the game's enduring appeal. But the festivities went beyond rare Pokémon catches; Madrid became the backdrop for at least five on-camera marriage proposals, with a resounding "yes" from all five partners!
We all remember the initial Pokémon Go craze, the excitement of exploring our neighborhoods in search of virtual creatures. While its global dominance may have lessened, Pokémon Go retains a dedicated player base. These passionate fans flocked to Madrid for the recent Go Fest, enjoying the city, rare Pokémon encounters, and community interaction. However, for some attendees, the air was filled with more than just Pokéballs.

The event served as a romantic backdrop for several couples. At least five couples chose this special occasion to propose, and all received a joyful "yes." Martina, for example, proposed to her partner Shaun, marking the start of their life together after a six-year long-distance relationship.
The success of Pokémon Go Fest Madrid underscores the game's enduring community and its role in connecting people. While Niantic's proposal package suggests even more proposals may have taken place off-camera, the event undeniably highlights the significant role Pokémon Go has played in bringing couples together.
