Five couples got engaged at this summer’s Pokémon Go Fest, some of whom met through playing the popular smartphone game.
The proposals took place at the event’s big weekend in Madrid – the year’s main European meetup for Pokémon Go fans, which Eurogamer recently attended. Happily, all players who popped the question received a ‘yes’.
Pokémon Go developer Niantic asked fans ahead of time if any couples were planning to get engaged at the event, after hearing reports of players getting down on one knee at previous Go Fests.
Five fans responded and were then invited to secretly surprise their other half by popping the question at a Pikachu and Eevee ‘Meet and Greet’ photo opportunity – meaning the moment could be captured on camera, with the aforementioned Pokémon celebrating/lurking in the background.
