6. POKEMON GO FEST
Over three weeks after tickets to Pokémon GO Fest 2018 went on sale, no Trainer has received their confirmation email yet. Niantic said that they would go out about two weeks after the day of purchase.
The one development that came out about Pokémon GO Fest this week refers to the 2017 event. Niantic set up a fund where attendees of the 2017 event can apply to get refunded for their travel & lodging expenses after Niantic was sued over the event's poor experience.
