Pokémon GO Fest Saporo was a regional, real-world, ticketed event, part of the Pokémon GO Fest and Global Challenge in 2022.[1]
The event was split in two parts named "Park Experience" (at the Nakajima Park), and "City Experience" at Sapporo. The event was divided into two sessions: 8:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. When purchasing the ticket, the trainer selected which part of the day they like to experience in the park. There was a one-hour intermission between sessions to allow Trainers time to move between areas. Both Park and City Experience featured separate Special Research stories and medals.

Rhi dialogue
- Good night, Pokémon Trainer. No—is it good morning now?
- Temporal expressions aside, I am struck by our surroundings.
- This is quite a bustling place.
- Which makes my recent readings all the more distressing. I have detected signals that indicate the inevitable appearance of an Ultra Wormhole.
- We must locate it and prepare for the emergence of another Ultra Beast.
- Let us survey the city.
- I have also not forgotten about your missing professor.
- Others have also expressed distress over his absence.
- Specifically, a man with spiked hair and an apparent affection for the color yellow.
- He has been conducting reconnaissance and seeking clues to your professor’s whereabouts by speaking to Pokémon Trainers assembled at raids.
- Perhaps we can also venture to Gyms as we attempt to locate the Ultra Wormhole. Those gathered may help direct our search.
- Let us go, Pokémon Trainer.
- How brightly glass glistens when touched by the sun...
- Apologies. Even the mundane becomes novel in this abundant light.
- But I digress. Have you seen any additional anomalies on your patrol?
- In an area this large, I cannot pinpoint the exact location from which an Ultra Wormhole will originate.
- We can only rely on our own visual surveillance.
- I wonder if the items provided by your PokéStops might help us prepare for the Ultra Wormhole’s impending arrival.
- It would befit us to gather as much aid as possible.
- Pokémon Trainer. Indulge me in a moment of introspection.
- To me, the humans here are exceedingly fortunate.
- Even with all our technology, my home is not at all like this.
- A world of darkness...
- Yet here, light spills from the smallest things—such as your Incubators and their Eggs.
- If you can forgive another imposition, will you show me the effect of an Incubator once again?
- I wish to see its light.
- Thank you, Pokémon Trainer.
- Pokémon Trainer. I have located the Ultra Wormhole.
- I hope they prove useful.
- The appearance of an Ultra Beast is imminent.
- Fortunately, you and I have a history of contending with such situations.
- My data indicates that the Ultra Beast most likely to appear is UB-03 Lighting.
- Some humans call it Xurkitree. They stand unmoving with their limbs stuck into the ground.
- It must not be allowed to wreak havoc.
- Be warned that this Ultra Beast is not easily subdued.
- That is why I have prepared some Beast Balls for you.
- They are a type of ball specifically designed to capture Ultra Beasts.
- You impress me yet again, Pokémon Trainer.
- The ease with which you handled Xurkitree is enviable. It is a technique unfamiliar to me, and yet it comes to you naturally.
- Now, I have an update to share.
- I detected an odd signal when Xurkitree emerged from the Ultra Wormhole.
- Using it, I can better investigate where within Ultra Space your Professor Willow may be.
- I will continue to do what I can to expedite his recovery.
- Until that time, I release you to your festivities. The light of your celebration beckons.
- Until again, Pokémon Trainer.

Catch 5 Fighting-type Pokémon
Rhi dialogue- Pokémon Trainer. Good...morning? Or is it the evening?
- I am still growing accustomed to the cycles of this world.
- But enough about time—let us focus on space. Prior to your arrival, I was surveying the area for Ultra Wormholes.
- Though I find myself getting lost in the atmosphere around us.
- Trainers are gathering here en masse...
- Ah. So it’s a festival to celebrate the Pokémon Trainers of this world.
- And since you are present, I assume you mean to participate.
- Do enjoy, then. But I would caution you to stay alert.
- If an Ultra Beast were to appear amid such a gathering, chaos would ensue.
- Perhaps we should both patrol the area to familiarize ourselves with its geography and identify any emerging irregularities.
- Come, Pokémon Trainer. Let us begin.
- It is beautiful here. Dazzlingly so...
- Ah. You have once again caught me in a moment of reverie, Pokémon Trainer.
- I am continually struck by the radiance of this world.
- Back home—it is dark.
- You and your fellows are fortunate.
- ... ... ...
- We should continue our patrol. After you, Pokémon Trainer.
- This place has drawn a remarkable number of Pokémon—an astounding example of regional biodiversity.
- One even attempted to approach me. Your world’s Pokémon offer friendship so effortlessly. If only the Ultra Beasts were as amiable.
- I have seen—let me consult my notes—Galarian Ponyta, Lapras, Makuhita, and Litwick...
- Even my idle time has been illuminating. I discovered that Litwick shines a light that absorbs the life energy of people and Pokémon.
- I noted this phenomenon from a distance.
- Another benefit of your photographic observations. What else can be safely documented through them?
- Taking snapshots of the unique locations in this area might answer this. It is “worth a shoot,” at any rate.
- Pokémon Trainer, you mentioned that you and Willow were pursuing the Pokémon Shaymin before his disappearance, correct?
- I recently overheard another Pokémon Trainer say that “upon taking in the scent of a particular rare flower, Shaymin is enveloped in light, and its tiny body transforms.”
- An irradiant image.
- I wonder if this transformation is akin to Evolution or if it is something else entirely.
- There is so much I do not know about Pokémon, and yet you gift your knowledge to me freely.
- Our time together has taught me much, and for that, I—
- Wait. An anomaly is approaching. It almost resembles the description you gave of the Pokémon Shaymin, and yet with marked differences...
- So, I have seen Shaymin and its transformative light.
- And from within this light emerges another form.
- What a resplendent revelation.
- You said Shaymin is drawn to gratitude. Do you believe it was my own such feelings that brought it here?
- I am pleased that it recognizes my appreciation.
- And I hope that appreciation is apparent to you as well.
- With no proximate threat, you should return to your festival. I will keep watch.
