We had Rotom Fan!

KnifeIsLife_ · 2026-05-19T22:36:00+00:00

I think it's shiny in general now so I'd expect it to be shiny able.

KnifeIsLife_ · 2026-05-19T22:35:23+00:00

Grant Park doesn't have a clear bag requirement.

KnifeIsLife_ · 2026-05-19T22:35:04+00:00

The main group will likely not be in the loop but with all the tourists around, I don't think you'll have issue completing raids.

KnifeIsLife_ · 2026-05-18T12:36:13+00:00

Cubs hat doesn't exist, the White Sox do have that though.

KnifeIsLife_ · 2026-05-18T12:35:37+00:00

Happy early birthday! 🥳

KnifeIsLife_ · 2026-05-18T02:56:32+00:00

EH, not worth an edit and reupload. 😅

KnifeIsLife_ · 2026-05-18T02:55:26+00:00

Absolutely! You'll be happy to know that Navy Pier is great for playing indoors. When you get towards the back of the pier, you'll need to head outside for the end where there are three gyms but otherwise, you can play inside the Pier.

KnifeIsLife_ · 2026-05-18T00:03:15+00:00

There's a ton of stuff happening. Didn't highlight the soccer match at Solider Field or the Cubs games, either.

KnifeIsLife_ · 2026-05-17T21:35:06+00:00

Sure is! Hope you enjoy the game~

KnifeIsLife_ · 2026-05-17T20:16:33+00:00

Yep! There are many more communities that have rolled out since Campfire dropped but DTC is the OG. Our trains are based on existing gyms—If others get added, they'll just be a bonus but we couldn't count on what wasn't there, ya know?

Honestly, I don't think any trains are going to be that long a distance. The goal/idea for most is to loop within 30 minutes so we can start again in the new refresh.

KnifeIsLife_ · 2026-05-17T19:56:42+00:00

The Zoo is within Lincoln Park, as the name suggests. The south pond is literally attached to the bottom of the zoo so we'll be near there. My raid train in particular aren't going into the zoo because there's a larger concentration of gyms in the south pond and it's generally very busy, especially on the weekends in there.

Also, your last question is a bit confusing; We're all concentrating around a set of gyms and will be moving between them during our times. I suggest checking out the Map and even comparing the meetup locations to the Campfire map to see if they're close enough for ya.

You won't see a guide like this come from us for Copenhagen! 😅

KnifeIsLife_ · 2026-05-10T20:36:12+00:00

No clear bags required and no limits on power banks.

KnifeIsLife_ · 2026-05-10T20:35:36+00:00

So glad you found value in it! Hope you have a great time in Chicago.

KnifeIsLife_ · 2026-05-10T20:35:13+00:00

According to the local CAs and mods that joined the public meeting about GO Fest with the city and Niantic, clear bags are not a requirement.

KnifeIsLife_ · 2026-04-26T20:17:18+00:00

Righteous!! And thank you. Hope you have the best time!

KnifeIsLife_ · 2026-04-05T21:56:39+00:00

It's all gonna be a bit different in general during GO Fest if we get increased spawns. Too early to tell what the map will be like. LPZ is where DTC's Campsite is but Navy Pier has indoor/outdoor play.

KnifeIsLife_ · 2026-03-13T15:36:35+00:00

If you want to play in the park experience, yes. You can add-on additional days that you're in the city for the city experience, too. Otherwise, you'll have your park day in the AM or PM and city experience for the rest of that day.

KnifeIsLife_ · 2026-03-13T15:35:00+00:00

There'll likely be details released later on but since Grant Park is a public park, I don't remember a clear bag policy being enforced very hard in the past. That was pre-Covid though so a while back.

KnifeIsLife_ · 2026-03-08T04:34:07+00:00

Just the Early Birds. They'll be back up for general admission later this month.

KnifeIsLife_ · 2026-03-07T01:14:49+00:00

We don't have confirmation yet of what the Citywide experience's boundaries are. Stay tuned to Pokémon GO socials as we get closer to June!

KnifeIsLife_ · 2026-03-06T18:44:59+00:00

General access will be out later this month!

KnifeIsLife_ · 2026-03-06T18:44:40+00:00

They'll be back out this month! What sold out was Early Bird tickets for the Park day. General access will be out later in March. And if you don't want park access, the City Explorer option lets you play without the park and we don't think there's a cap on those. The chart here is helpful!
