I haven't done one of these "Preparing for..." posts in a long time for one reason or another, but at least the onset of a new and big Pokémon Go paid event gives an incentive to do so, moreover since there isn't anything else related to Pokémon that can intervene at this point. Furthermore, based on the way that some recent big additions have proceeded, it seems pertinent that a post on preparing for this new kind of event needs to be made. Given all that, the post is made to fulfill that order.
Needless to say, similar physical preparations for Go Tour and Go Fest still apply, given how fundamental they are. In fact, for those with experience regarding other paid Pokémon Go events, I probably don't need to make the reminder: Niantic often sends reminder e-mails containing the same exact helpful tips, especially for paid events (that are considered) outside of one's normal place of playing. Though there is not one for the global (edition of an) event, it can be conceived that quite a few things still apply.
What really needs to be reminded is that as the event features an expansion of the recently added "gargantuan phenomenon", it is wise to (try to) prepare the best Pokémon that can serve to battle certain Pokémon of these forms, which should have been a given over the past few days leading up to the event, as well as what happened in general recently. That also might have to mean preparing some group strategies if at all possible and to congregate with as many people as possible - a tall order, but it may still be workable.
As I've noted, the event features an abundance - or rather, overload - of features, many that are old and just as many that are new. With that, there may be the need to focus on the new features rather than the old, although one can fall back on the latter if necessary and possible. Priorities may also need to be set on what to catch, as several options do seem to present themselves during this event. That might also become good practice for later editions of Go Tour and Go Fest, which might become just as abundant.
Some sort of preparation is admittedly always necessary for a Pokémon Go paid event, though that's a given in most circumstances. The circumstance of the new paid event still serves as the perfect time to make some of the familiar reminders - as well as add a few new ones that are pertinent to the event - to make sure that the event goes well. The event is called "Go Wild Area" after all, so there is also an inherent element of (unexpected) "wildness"... which could be obviated even with some preparation.
