Pokémon GO Fest: New York City was a regional, real-world, ticketed event, part of the Pokémon GO Fest 2024.[1]
The event was split in two parts named "Park Experience" (at Randall's Island Park), and "City Experience" at New York City. The City Experience would last from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. ET while the trainer had to choose between Morning Park Experience (9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. ET) or Afternoon Park Experience (3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. ET). When purchasing the ticket, the trainer selected the day and the time they like to experience in the park. For $20, the Citywide Gameplay add-on could be obtained extending the city experience on each extra day. For $27, Trainers could pre-order an in-person event-exclusive Pokémon GO Fest 2024 T-shirt and pick it up in-person during the event. Each T-shirt purchased would come with a code that can be redeemed for a matching in-app avatar item.

Professor Willow dialogue1st Part
- Hello there, TRAINER! We’ve stumbled upon quite the juicy mystery here in the park.
- Maybe you’ve seen flashes of light or shadows cast in unexpected places around here? It’s a real peculiar phenomenon!
- And even more intriguing, these anomalies appear to move around at the drop of a hat, defying the laws of science! Not to worry, though—I’ve already cooked up a hypothesis!
- But like with any good hypothesis, we need data to confirm it. That’s where you come in!
- Would you be a pal and investigate these strange occurrences for me, then meet back here with your findings?
2nd Part
- Hey, TRAINER! Rad running into you here!
- I figured this was just a secret hangout spot for the most awesome Trainers, but I’m guessing you must be looking for Professor Willow?
- Y’know, I think I saw him earlier. He was skulking around all sneaky, like a Gengar playing hide-and-seek.
- Pretty sure he was headed toward those habitats over there. If you hurry, you might catch him!
- Oh, and tell him I said hi!
3rd Part
- Ah, TRAINER. I presume you are here in search of Professor Willow?
- I caught sight of him earlier, but I must say, his behavior was rather peculiar. More so than usual, that is.
- I only got a glimpse of him, but he was making his way through the shadows, headed in that general direction.
- If either one of you uncover the cause behind what’s happening with the light and shadow around here, I would appreciate if you shared your findings.
- Until then, I will continue to observe the anomalies myself. Best of luck, TRAINER.
4th Part
- Heeey, TRAINER! What brings you to this slice of the park?
- Let me guess—you’re on the hunt for that elusive Marshadow too, aren’t you?
- Oh, you’re looking for Professor Willow? I haven’t seen him around, but I’m totally sure I saw Marshadow earlier.
- Marshadow’s a sneaky customer—loves to hide in the shadows and mimic the movements of others.
- So y’know, keep your eyes peeled! You just might run into a super rare Pokémon! Good luck—oh, and don’t get spooked by the shadows!
5th Part
- Oh! It’s you, TRAINER. You caught me by surprise.
- Sorry for the confusion. I was on Marshadow’s trail, but it looks to me like you’ve already made its acquaintance!
- I thought I was the one doing the tracking, but it turns out Marshadow was shadowing my every move. Ha!
- I’m thrilled to see how quickly you’ve befriended it. This is yet another example of your exceptional skills as a Trainer.
- You not only solved the mystery of the shadows, but you made yourself a powerful new friend in the process.
6th Part
- I see you’ve been hard at work powering up your new companion Marshadow. That’s great, but don’t forget to take a moment for yourself and enjoy the journey!
- I also heard you had the pleasure of running into Spark, Blanche, and Candela. What a treat it is to run into friends unexpectedly!
- Why don’t you take this opportunity to forge some new friendships, rekindle a few old ones, and embark on a grand new adventure with Marshadow at your side?
- After all, life isn’t just about getting stronger. It’s about the bonds we form along the way.
- I guess what I really mean to say is: thank you for your friendship, TRAINER!

Rhi dialogue1st Part
- Greetings, TRAINER. Your arrival here is a relief.
- While Professor Willow is presently engaged investigating the curious interplay of light and shadow in the park, I have been drawn to the Ultra Wormholes that opened in the sky.
- I have no doubt that your assistance will prove invaluable in unraveling these perplexing occurrences and ensuring the safety of humans and Pokémon alike.
- It is worth noting that similar phenomena have been reported all over the world—meaning that people from all over are looking to us for answers.
- Bearing that in mind, let us cooperate to shed light on this mystery.
Radar Tuning Branch
- In the course of my investigations, I encountered two Pokémon of interest.
- One was adorned in something peculiar, and the other was of a hue I have never witnessed before.
- They may hold the key to comprehending the present situation.
- Would you prefer to track one of them in particular?
2nd Part
- Please seek out this enigmatic Pokémon—I will continue my analysis of the Ultra Wormholes in the meantime.
- I assure you that your findings will prove a valuable contribution to our shared understanding.
- Let us reconvene once we have made progress in our respective inquiries.
Solgaleo/Lunala Branch
- TRAINER, these Ultra Wormholes are allowing more Ultra Beasts to enter your world. And I am getting readings that suggest the presence of an immense power.
- My analysis indicates that said power may originate from one of two Legendary Pokémon—Solgaleo or Lunala.
- Which one do you think it is?
3rd Part
Basking in the Radiance
- Acknowledged.
- Also, I should note—I fear the abundance of light within this city could attract the attention of something even more powerful: the Prism Pokémon Necrozma, which is known to consume light itself.
- Were Necrozma’s hunger to draw it to this world, it could cause untold destruction. Please seek out Solgaleo, TRAINER.
- Forming a connection with it may prove crucial in expanding our knowledge of Necrozma.
- I will continue to monitor the Ultra Wormholes and gather what information I can. I promise you that if and when we encounter Necrozma, we will be ready.
Hidden in the Umbra

4th Part
Basking in the Radiance
- I have news, TRAINER. It concerns your new partner, Solgaleo.
- The city’s radiance combined with the presence of Solgaleo has drawn the attention of the light-devouring Necrozma, just as I feared.
- Only you possess the skills and compassion necessary to confront and catch Necrozma.
- If you’re able to forge a bond of understanding with the Prism Pokémon, we’ll be able to protect both this world and Necrozma itself.
- Approach this trial with an open heart and steady hand, and I believe we will find a resolution that benefits us all—one as radiant as the light Necrozma seeks.

- This is a rare opportunity to witness its metamorphosis into Dusk Mane Necrozma.
- Your journey with the Prism Pokémon has only just begun. I am certain your skills will light the path to ever greater accomplishments.
