We went for a bit of a different theme this month for the AR showcase, GO Fest themed! Take a picture of any Pokémon featured during any of the GO Fests, and submit it.

‘Pikachu at the Valor Tent – GO Fest Jersey City’ by PokeSnaps_by_Aaron (IG) / AaronsPokesnaps (Twitter/X, Bluesky), Jersey City, NJ, United States.
‘During GO Fest Jersey City, I found an open spot near the Team Valor tent. The ground had dried just enough from the rain that I decided to put down a PokeBall prop and take a photo that would be good to insert the special event Pikachu into.’
‘Zacian and Zamazenta in the Noble Fields’ by PokeSnaps_by_Aaron (IG) / AaronsPokesnaps (Twitter/X, Bluesky), Jersey City, NJ, United States.
‘As my GO Fest park experience day ended, I had to pass the Noble Fields area to meet with a group. The ground had become much drier and people were leaving the area. A perfect place to get a photo of the Galarian legends. Since by this point you could only have 1 Crowned Form legendary, I had to take photos of my Zamazenta and my partner’s Zacian and overlay them in Photoshop.’
‘Volcanion at GO Fest Jersey City’ by PokeSnaps_by_Aaron (IG) / AaronsPokesnaps (Twitter/X, Bluesky), Jersey City, NJ, United States.
‘I actually went to Liberty State Park the day before park experiences went live to map out the area while there were no people. During this time, I got photos of signs and setups for the event that I would use later to avoid accidently including anyone in the shot. I decided to use the GO Fest sign with Volcanion since this Pokemon was a key aspect of GO Fest.’
‘All Aboard the Falinks Express!’ by PokeSnaps_by_Aaron (IG) / AaronsPokesnaps (Twitter/X, Bluesky), New York City, NY, United States.
‘I caught the shiny Falinks in a subway station with a group and thought this would be a funny photo. Simple as that
