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.

7.   EVENT  REMINDERS

As a reminder, two Pokémon GO events will come to end on Tuesday, June 5, at 1:00 PM PDT. The first is Adventure Week, and the other is the time to Raid against the two Eon Pokémon, Latios and Latias. The ability to Raid against Ho-Oh was supposed to come to a close two days later, but the Pokémon Company's website now says that its Raid cycle has been extended to June 21.

8.   WEEKEND  TRIVIA

This Pokémon sucks the nutrients from trees for food. Whenever someone sees one of its glowing spores, they will fall asleep. Who's that Pokémon: Paras, Morelull, Breloom, or Amoonguss?

​Paras received the most votes in our poll, but that is not the correct answer. The correct answer is the one Pokémon that received no votes: Morelull.
