Pokémon GO Park 2017 Event
Thousands of trainers are expected to converge on Chicago's Grant Park today for the Pokémon GO Park 2017, the first of the augmented reality game's large-scale real-life events, Pokémon GO Fest. There's a lot going on in Chicago, but the celebrations aren't restricted to those who are physically there. There are still ways for everyone else to partake in the celebrations, even if you have to wait until tomorrow for a chance at Legendary Pokémon.

The day is interrupted by a series of "catch challenges," which imply something different depending on where you are. People at Grant Park are in charge of deciding what kind of benefits trainers would get after the event. It has to do with the Pokémon that those trainers choose to catch: Leaf-type for Stardust bonuses, Fire-type for confectionery bonuses, and so on. If I had to guess, I'd assume the Grant Park high-level trainers would prioritize Stardust.
