  • Pokémon GO is turning 8 years old next month in July, and Niantic is celebrating with an in-game event. It is, unfortunately, looking to be incredibly boring based on the event spawns, but there are a few bonuses that will be really good! Let's talk about it.

    Pokémon Go is a 2016 augmented reality (AR) mobile game developed and published by Niantic in collaboration with The Pokémon Company for iOS and Android devices. A part of the Pokémon franchise, the game is the result of a collaboration between Niantic, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company. It uses the mobile device GPS to locate, capture, battle, and train virtual creatures, called Pokémon, which appear as if they are in the player's real-world location. The game is free to play; it uses a freemium business model and supports in-app purchases for additional in-game items. The game launched with around 150 species of Pokémon, which had increased to around 500 by 2019.
    Pokémon Go was released to mixed reviews; critics praised the concept, but criticized technical problems. It was one of the most used and profitable mobile apps in 2016, having been downloaded more than 500 million times worldwide by the end of the year. It is credited with popularizing location-based and AR technology, promoting physical activity, and helping local businesses grow due to increased foot traffic. However, it attracted controversy for contributing to accidents and creating public nuisances. Various governments expressed concerns about security, and some countries regulate its use. By early 2019, the game had over a billion global downloads, grossing over $3 billion in revenue. The game also had over 147 million monthly active users as of May 2018.

    I'd personally love it if Niantic would give us some rewards that get us Mega Energy for some of the other Megas instead of the same set almost every single time. For example, Aerodactyl. For whatever reason, I missed getting all the Mega Energy I need to evolve Aerodactyl to its Mega form, and am stuck on 195 - 5 short of what I need.
    Also, regarding the friendship bonuses for this event, it's a shame that it didn't also come with being able to open more gifts from friends per day.

    • @The_Cherokee_Gypsy
      @The_Cherokee_Gypsy 7 дней назад

      That’s exactly what I said. Nobody gives a crap about Spiriggato, quaxly or fuecoco. They can’t be shiny, and they don’t have hats so leave their stupid asses out of the events! Nobody wants them or cares to have them!

  • @YoshiJoshi1994
    @YoshiJoshi1994 8 дней назад

    Grimer and Muk can have a party hat but not Ivysaur and Venusaur 😭😭
    In all seriousness though, going lucky isn't a very exciting bonus when they happen so infrequently (last lucky chance increase event during CNY I interacted with at least 20 best friends every day and didn't go lucky) and can be almost inaccessible to most players to co-ordinate said trades cause of distance or life. I am excited for starters to spawn, need a good Primarina and Snivy for GBL xD But do agree, they could've done something much more exciting for seasoned players - commday moves would've been the least they could do.

  • @Murphzilla103177

    They just keep catering to new players and ignore the long term players who have kept the game afloat. The increased lucky friends potential is pretty good though. Everything else is boring since it’s basically the same event that it has been the last few years.

    I agree with everything u said in ur video so I'm just going to put my personal opinion. I'm a bit excited because I don't have a shundo of any of the starters. On top of that, I've been saving my meltan box 4 an event like this. B4 anybody comes at me, I've been playing this game since Jan 2017, maybe not from the very beginning, but pretty close. I also understand the other side. Especially since classic community Day has cyndaquil, which is happening this sat. This is a 5/10 event, a love hate relationship this one is.

    @Kman3211000 6 дней назад

    So while looking for turtonator research, I was thinking about why some research is considered bad. And from what I can tell, it seems that it's only bad if the task is too grindy, or the reward is a pokemon that isn't useful. To combat this, it feels like niantic needs to make every pokemon useful in some way. Obviously there's PVP, raids, and shinies. However, there could be more showcases active simultaneously, and with varying qualifications for entry. That way you have a much better chance to use the XXL or (perish the thought) XXS sentret or slugma you just picked up. Even having roaming NPCs with small side quests or battle requirements would be better😊

Just catch and transfer unless its a hundo, nundo or shiny. It also a chance to take a break from grinding the game because there's nothing to really chase.

    Spiriggato, Quaxly, and Fuecoco can kick rocks. None of them can be shiny so they’re literally just a complete waste of space in the wild as spawns. Nobody cares to catch them. I play the game for shiny dex that’s it. I also like to catch legendaries as well, but mostly the shiny dex. The fact they added Spirigatto fuecoco and quaxly is just plain stupid. If they can’t be shiny or you’re not willing to create their shiny then KEEP THEM OUT OF EVENTS! We already see them constantly in the wild, so why the hell would you even add them to this event? They’re not even wearing hats either so they’re all pointless! Just like Pikapek! Another pointless pokemon in the wild along with Smoliv!! All pointless!
