• Pokémon Go's inaugural Stamp Rally outside Japan is arriving in Europe!
• Visit Paris this September to collect exclusive stamps in Pokémon Go
• Plus, dive into an immersive physical and digital experience celebrating the next Pokémon release

It's a major news day for Pokémon Go, with the approaching Go Fest and ninth anniversary celebrations on the horizon. However, for dedicated fans, the debut of a once Japan-only event is the real highlight, as the first ever international Go Stamp Rally makes its way to Europe!

What exactly is a Stamp Rally? These events are actually quite popular across Japan. Whether for tourism, local sports events, or promotional activities, participants explore a specific area to collect stamps in a small booklet—sometimes these stamps create a complete image when combined.

While the concept might seem niche to some, involving trips to various locations like train stations, in Japan these rallies attract participants of all ages and often have extensive waiting lists, especially for major ones like the Pokémon Stamp Rallies.

Paris Calling

Now, European fans will have their own opportunity to join the fun as the first Pokémon Go Stamp Rally outside Japan launches at and around the Westfield Forume des Halles Chatelet in Paris. From September 13th to 14th, players can take part in the rally and a unique physical and digital immersive experience that celebrates the upcoming mainline Pokémon games.

Following closely after Go Fest and other even larger events in the pipeline, it's evident that Pokémon Go is receiving a significant push this year to engage both longtime players and newcomers.
