Pokémon Go players find love in Madrid as proposals flood Go Fest

Pokémon Go Fest Madrid: A resounding success, not just for player numbers, but for love!

The recent Pokémon Go Fest in Madrid proved a massive hit, attracting over 190,000 attendees. But beyond the record-breaking attendance and rare Pokémon hunts, the event witnessed a heartwarming surge in romance.

Five couples, fueled by shared passion for the game, took the opportunity to propose amidst the excitement. And the best part? All five received a resounding "Yes!"

Madrid's Magical Proposals

One couple, Martina and Shaun, shared their story: "After 8 years, including 6 long-distance, we've finally settled together. This was the perfect way to celebrate our new life," Martina explained.

While the official count of proposals may be just five (those who went on camera), Niantic's special proposal package suggests many more couples may have found their happily ever after at the event. The event underscores the enduring power of Pokémon Go, not only as a game, but as a catalyst for connection and lasting relationships. For some, it's more than just catching Pokémon; it's catching love.
