• Pokémon Go's inaugural international Stamp Rally makes its European debut in Paris this September.
• Visit designated locations across Paris to collect exclusive stamps and earn in-game rewards.
• Dive into a unique blend of physical exploration and digital gameplay celebrating the upcoming Pokémon launch.

This is a landmark moment for Pokémon Go, coinciding with the upcoming Go Fest and the game's ninth anniversary. For long-time players, the most thrilling development is the European debut of the Stamp Rally—previously exclusive to Japan.

What exactly is a Stamp Rally? These events are immensely popular in Japan. Designed for tourism, local festivals, or brand promotions, attendees explore a specific area, collecting stamps in a booklet that often form a complete image when combined.

While the concept of collecting stamps on train platforms might seem niche to some, in Japan, these rallies attract participants of all ages, with high demand and long waiting lists for major events, including those for Pokémon.

Destination Paris

European trainers now have their chance to join the fun. The first international Pokémon Go Stamp Rally will be held at and around the Westfield Forum des Halles Châtelet in Paris. From September 13th to 14th, fans can collect stamps and experience an immersive event blending physical and digital elements to mark the release of the next core Pokémon games.

Following the excitement of Go Fest and with even larger events on the horizon, Pokémon Go is clearly receiving a major push this year to engage both veteran players and newcomers.
