I live here in the city of Chicago ~7mi (~11km) from Grant Park where the event will be held, I will definitely be buying a ticket and taking part in the event to the fullest! I’m happy to help out the GO Hub however I can!
I agree that releasing legendaries in conjunction with the 1 year anniversary is a pretty great/convenient idea. That being said, the event in Chicago is likely to be a nice celebration with merchandise give-aways as well as a lot more merchandise available for purcha$e (marketing). I still believe that legendaries will be released and available to all trainers at the same time, so if they are released during this event, I really don’t think it would be only for trainers who could make it to Chicago. I really think they will be for everyone!
I feel that this will be what the event will be like:
Over 15 lures active for the duration of the event.
Super increased chance of rares spawning (like Snorlax every 10 mins).
Maybe a regional switch so people could get Heracross in Chicago
There might be a worldwide legendary debut there so those who go can get them early.
I can’t go because it’s too far from the UK, but I hope those that can go have a great time!
I’m leaning towards a special avatar item, similar to the Minecraft capes given to attendees at Minecon. Also maybe the distribution of master balls or special eggs containing your teams legendary mon. Just a thought…
Also I’m planning on going and hope to record a vlog and report of the entire trip. I also know that my luck is similar to Charlie Brown meets Clark Griswald, but I’m gonna try to leave that gray cloud in Akron and make the journey 6 hours west. Half my family lives there, so it’ll be nice to see them for a couple days anyway.
Personally, I think so as well. I said that based on the promo image with a random Heracross shown in Chicago. No one really knows, but it could very well happen.
