Every year as usual, there is the defining series of events for Pokémon Go that is called none other than Pokémon Go Fest, and in most years, I attempt to round them up somehow. This roundup is nicely (or not so nicely) timed as the events straddle the goings-on of the seasons - the current one that is ending soon and the next one that is about to start - and it seems to demand to be done at this specific point. It is also important to glean into the apparent themes of the festivities and draw insights from them.
First up, there's the matter of locations. This year's festivities will take place in Osaka (Asia, May 29 to June 1 - that's this weekend), Jersey City (Americas, June 6 to 8), and Paris (Europe, June 13 to 15) - some royal, noble, and regal settings for them. All of that occurs as the new season gets rolling and in consecutive weeks as well. They'll have the usual workings (mechanisms) of gameplay, merchandise, and congregations, though they might have other niceties for anyone who wants to go the extra mile while they're there.
Not to mention, there will also be the Global edition on June 28 and 29 - two weeks after the aforementioned world tour, for those who can't make it to any of the stops in the above locations. As usual, a lot of it will be similar to the regional editions and act as a kind of proxy to them, and as with last year, the Global edition becomes a finale of sorts for festivities that seem to come hard early on and establish a royal presence.
Then there is the content, which might have something to do with the suggested theme as given in the title of the post above. The Pokémon that are to appear in these editions are suggested to be knightly, luxurious, and fantastic, perhaps also potentially powerful. And if they're knights, then their implements might be involved, being the key (or at least one such) to their power, for which this event will help to manifest.
It's always a royal time in Pokémon Go when the annual Pokémon Go Fest series of events comes around. For the case of this year, that royal quality seems to be about to be evident in not only the usual content being furnished but also the places and mechanisms that are involved. That might just be very good for all those with knightly spirit.
