Pokemon Go Unova Tour In LA Will Go On, But Refunds Are Being Offered

During the first week of the Los Angeles wildfires, Niantic assured fans that its Pokemon Go Unova Tour – Los Angeles event will go on as scheduled. Nearly a month later, that’s still the plan. However, Niantic is also extending a refund offer to ticket holders who won’t be able to make the event.

Niantic shared the news on the official Pokemon Go site, and added that players who choose to take the refund can make the request via in-app support through February 23.

The Pokemon Go: Unova Tour – Los Angeles will be held at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena on February 21-23. There will also be citywide gameplay in Los Angeles and Orange County. The event will also mark the Pokemon Go debut of Black Kyurem and White Kyurem ahead of their global rollout on March 1.

Niantic recently announced the rest of the Pokemon Go events for February, as well as what’s planned before the global Pokemon Go Tour: Unova event on March 1-2. In other Pokemon news outside of the mobile game, the Japanese mob is reportedly using Pokemon cards to launder money, while a former US postal worker recently pled guilty to stealing $100,000 worth of Pokemon cards and other collectibles. And one Pokemon TCG Pocket Player in Japan appears to have spent a ridiculous amount of money on the game’s virtual cards.
