Niantic is ‘carefully observing the situation in Los Angeles’ ahead of Pokémon Go Unova Tour
Los Angeles is currently hell on earth, with a series of wildfires destroying countless homes. The fires have delayed events ranging from Oscar nominations to sports games, and Pokémon Go players worldwide are expected to arrive in the city next month to participate in the in-person Unova Tour.
With the ongoing fires in LA, Dot Esports reached out to Niantic about the Pokémon Go Unova Tour in LA—set to take place from Feb. 21 to 23 in Pasadena and the surrounding city—to see if the company planned to cancel the event or has any alternative plans should Rose Bowl Stadium be damaged, or the event be deemed too dangerous to continue.
