Summary: Welcome to <a href="http://www.giantsizeteamup.com/pokemongopodcast/">Pokémon GO Podcast</a>! Charles, Brian, and Joe are stoked to talk about Pokémon GO Fest 2018. In addition to GO Fest, Niantic has announced Safari Zone events in Germany and Japan. Niantic is coordinating with all major mobile service providers to provide COWs (cells on wheels) to ensure that everyone has adequate service during the event. They want to make sure they don’t have a poor experience like they did last year. They are having it at a larger venue and splitting the event over two days. Each trainer will be limited to attending a single day. Our own Joseph Ard will definitely be attending on Saturday and Brian Ibbott is hoping to attend as well. Niantic is also planning on some kind of crowdsourced 3D map, but exact details are bit a sparse. We are eagerly waiting to see what all that will entail.
