Are you an avid Pokemon Go fan in Qatar? Then this news is likely to make you happy, very happy!

Enthusiasts of the wildly popular game are setting up a massive ‘meet and greet’ event at the Katara Beach on August 19.

It will feature “various activities, games, and surprises” on an area that has been identified by a group of players as a safe and appropriate location to catch Pokemons, Gulf Times reported.

After attracting more than 500 players at the Museum of Islamic Art Park recently, the Pokemon Go Players group is organising a second gathering that will entertain not only individuals but also families and ‘groups of friends’ in the country.

“We were surprised to see close to 600 people in our first meet up. We were only expecting around 200 to 300 that night,” said the group’s founder, Carlo Yan.

He stressed that they have been very cautious in using the app, which uses location services and personal data, in view of Qatar's Communications Regulatory Authority’s recent warning.

With a lot of water attraction at the venue, he added that players will enjoy catching Pokemons as they participate in a number of games and activities starting at 3pm.

Some of the activities include singing of the ‘Pokemon anthem,’ water Pokemon Go hunting, water slides and boat rides, games at the Nintendo 3DS area, cosplay competition, Pokemon trivia game, and board games, among others.

The meet up will also come up with a team ranking and select the best team, as well as the top five ‘best players’ and the best Pokemon Go player, who will receive prizes and tokens.
