The new Pokémon are great and the way that they fit in with the setting gets you even more invested in the game and makes you really want to catch them all. The new starter Pokémon are great and while most people seem to love Litten, I must admit that I am a Rowlett man myself.

Honestly, I got just as much of a kick out of seeing these new versions of classic Pokémon as I did the new ones. They have done a great job in giving some of the older Pokémon like Grimer and Exeggutor have been given an Alola makeover to make them fit in with the new setting.

Of course, a new Pokémon game is going to bring with it a whole host of new Pokémon, but before I get to that I want to talk about some of the old classics. You will also want to explore to see what other secrets this region has. The larger world that you have to explore keeps you on your toes and while you will be going out and looking for items and battles so that you can grind. This whole region feels like it is alive and there are very few places that are just empty space. Pokémon GO players who are not able to attend these events are just going to have to hang tight until Niantic reveals further details on how the Alolan wormhole Pokémon will eventually be distributed for free.The Alola Region that you will be exploring is the richest and most fleshed out of any Pokémon game that I have played. With the July in-person events' expensive entry fees, though, the decision is likely to not sit well with some players who have been anticipating the debut of the Ultra Beasts for a long time. This isn't the first time that Niantic has locked popular Pokémon behind events before, as Pokémon Sun and Moon Ultra Beast Nihilego actually made its first appearance during Pokémon GO Fest 2022 which was held in early June. Although the three Ultra Beast debuts are locked behind the GO Fest celebrations, Niantic has assured fans that all Ultra Beast Pokémon will eventually be available to everyone else during the 'Season of GO' which runs from June to Thursday, September 1st. Those who attend the in-person July events will be able to obtain Special Research that will unlock a story quest that is tied to the Ultra Beast featured in their location. The ticket prices for the Pokémon GO Fest celebrations are €24.99 for Berlin, while Seattle is $25.00, and Sapporo's is ¥3,000.
