Pokémon GO Fest memes capture the chaotic energy of Niantic’s premier annual event, which draws millions of players globally to catch rare and legendary Pokémon. The memes typically satirize the struggle of the event, ranging from the frantic search for shiny Pokémon and the exhaustion of walking miles in the sun to the inevitable technical glitches and server outages that often plague large-scale mobile gaming events. Whether players are celebrating a successful Rayquaza raid or venting about a ticketed event's rewards, these memes serve as a communal way for the Pokémon community to bond over the highs and lows of being a real-life trainer.
