The event, scheduled for December, will collaborate with the Sao Paulo City Hall and shopping centers to ensure a fun and safe experience for all attendees.

Beyond the Sao Paulo event, Niantic is expanding the game's infrastructure. Partnerships with Brazilian city governments will lead to the creation of more PokeStops and Gyms across the country, enhancing gameplay for a wider audience.

Details about the locally made Pokemon Go video

Brazil's importance to Niantic is undeniable, particularly following the success of previous in-game item price reductions which boosted revenue. A locally produced video celebrating the game's impact further underscores this success.
