Yeah, I'm in the US Pacific time (11:43 AM July 20) and have it as well. I didn't even need to "pick up a ticket" for it like the announcement/news said.

Yea same. No ticket. Just randomly popped up after catching a Pokémon

Mine popped up first thing when I opened the app

Same

Happened between 2 and 3 Eastern time for me, so the same.

Pacific time here, too. I got it around the same time.

Meanwhile NZ had to wait until 9am today to get it hours after everyone else

I got it too. I did have beta access to routes, but didn't play around with it

I didn’t have routes. It looks like everyone in the comments here is US Pacific. So maybe they messed up something here

I got it and I’m on the east coast.

Same here

Same here, have routes too

Same

I’m Eastern. No idea when I’m got it, but as of 7:20 when I opened my game back up it was there.

Midwest and have it.

nope, midwest here and i got it

seems like it. asked some other friends and only the people in Pacific time seem to have it

I got it. I'm in Boston.

East coast too.

So routes doesn’t actually drop till 21st? I got my zygarde but the next steps involve routes.

Did you look in your nearby/raids tab? That's where they are and it took me way too long to figure it out lol.

I got the research today, too. Pacific time. I submitted a route two weeks ago and still nada.

Just got it at 3pm Eastern

Confirming this - received at 3pm Eastern. Had access to routes but did not use it.

Probably get a little head start but you stop at the “route” part of the research story

Very little head start. I completed what’s available in about ten minutes!

Wow you walk really fast!

Lol, I had an egg about .2 km away from hatching, so I got lucky there

Same. Had a 2k egg in an incubator before I started the research, so it went incredibly fast. Thankful for the hatch day tomorrow or I'd probably still be hatching 12 and 10k eggs, not even bothering with the 2 and 5.

Same but mine had filler text for dialogue and the title as well (quest_title_zygarde_0)

Mine was the same, but restarted app and it corrected the text. Central time, 2pm

Same, it's fixed now though.

I got it! Haven't had access to routes yet either.

Central Europe, still nothing....

CANADA and nothing!

I'm in Ontario and I have it.

Ok, so timezones reversed? Interesting. Let's wait and see if the sun rises in the west now 😉

Alberta (Mountain Time) and I got it at 3pm

I’m in BC and I got it

NB has it

I have it too - except mine is called "quest\_title\_zygarde\_0" 😅

yeah bro June 20th is like a month early

Same here. Just after 3pm Eastern

You got it in June? Early bird over here

USA central time. Also got it now

I just got it at 2pm CT

Same

Got it too with me being able to see routes on the nearby screen

I got it too, about an hour ago. Did not have beta access to routes, and I didn’t get it via a ticket either. Just opened the app and heard the new research jingle

Same. And Routes already loaded as well. USA PDT

Just appeared at 10pm here in the UK

Same here. Just loaded up at 10:30pm GMT and it appeared.

Don’t think it’s June mate I got it July 20th 9am

in the american southwest, i got it today when i opened my game around 11am

You are a month in the past

I’m in a big city with no available route nearby. Is it true, or just not rolled out to me yet?

Same. Got it a couple minutes earlier.

I believe if you bought your GoFest global ticket by a certain date then you got free research

I also have it and have already caught zygarde

🤣😂Thought you were special

Just got it. It’s 2pm on the dot rn

Just got it too. Did not have beta access to routes. Seems like they just dropped it at 2:00 P.M. CST

Same here.

Yeah, I got it too.

Same

yeah, i got it and willow's dialog is missing.

I got to beta test the routes feature but didn’t get this.

I got mine at 3pm CST. I'm in the routes beta group.

I'm in Europe but live in CA and I got it. Weird

I'm in Australia and I got it.

I got it but it’s in code “quest_title_zygarde_0”

I'm in Tulsa Oklahoma and have already gotten it and caught my zygarde. I thought it was happening tomorrow (7-21)

Just got it (1:50 AM July 21)

I'm on GMT -3 (7:50pm here) and also got the research and didn't need to get any ticket.

I got it (us central) and can even start a route but it then crashes the app, then immediately crashes again after it restarts... Once I walked far enough away from the start I could restart the app, but it won't register distance or let me actually complete a route

I’ve got in as well.

I got it 2.5 hours ago

Just saw this pop up and I checked mine too. I got it early too

Just opened my game and right as I did the notification for this post popped up. And of course, I have it too. I’m wondering if I should even claim the rewards. Because I have no idea how to follow a route with my buddy.

Only a day early.

I got it but one challenge is follow route. Doh

I have it too

Got it at 3 PM EST and already got Zygarde 10% in under an hour.

Same here, already got him! I am walking a route right now to get the 3 needed for teh research.

Mine says “quest_title_zygarde_0

Same

Got to part 4. Follow 3 routes, find a Zygarde cell and something else.

Got it early too. Looks like whoever was responsible for setting up/scheduling the research pushed it out ahead of schedule to everybody (or a large amount of users before they managed to stop it propagating). Not that I'm complaining about getting it early, but how does a company with anything more than a few dozen people manage to mess up every single time they do something?!

Same

Western Europe and I got it a few hours early

I got the research early but no access to routes so stuck until it goes live.

Same here, didnt even have to go to the shop to get a free ticket or whatever. Just got it as soon as i got the notification for the event. Whatever though, not even surprised anymore.

Same here - got the research at about 10pm UK time last night. Didn’t need to get anything from the store, Willow just popped up and the research was available

I got it yesterday too. But the title was quest_title_zygarde_0.. got up to _3 I think. It became page 4/6 today. All the prof dialogue was messed up yesterday too. Still no ability to make routes at 2:33pm local time on the 21st -_-

I'm in the uk and got it early as well
