1:21 It’s a big mistake to be urging people to evolve their costume shiny froakie and rowlet without informing your audience that if they wait just a couple months, they can also get hydro cannon/frenzy plant from December community day
Although you're not wrong, I think it mainly boils down to events progressively getting worse. I took a few years off, and I'm mainly focusing on meta mons/getting pvp mons so honestly this event is whatever for me, I don't love it I don't hate it. I'll play, but I'm not gonna go CRAZY, or get upset about it like some do. While some players, especially more casual ones/f2p players LOVE the holiday events because if gives them that extra bonus without having to pay. I can understand the frustration, but can't relate to it, if that makes sense.
Niantic shills gonna niantic shill. the entire community is furious about dynamax right now, especially how they clutter the screen and block pokemon. you're probably one of those people that magically got to level 50 for free lmao
What new you got in this event? A froaki and rowlet with hats, that's it? Iast year there was shiny phatump release and also shiny zorua release. Besides the realae of Greavard, And this year? Nothing but gmx Gengar which only people in big cities will be able to get.
That rare candy on 31st october I hope they increase the chances. Last year I remember playing for hours, catching over a thousand pokemon with the go+ and only getting 2 rare candy. You literally get more doing a 3* raid
Look at these pathetic costumed pokemon! It's just a hat EVERYTIME! Pokemon Unite adding real costumes to the franchise, but these pathetic "costumes" are embarrassing, who cares?!
Meanwhile Unite players: TIMI FIX YOUR FKIN GAME WHY ARE THERE 4 FKIN 400 GAMES -VE WR PLAYERS IN MY TEAM WHILE I HAVE TO PLAY AGAINST 5 12K GAMES 66% WR PLAYERS Also wtf am I supposed to do with my 100k coins, 500k aeos tickets, 4k holowear tickets, 6k fashion tickets and 3k energy exchanges????
Niantic have now confirmed that Dynamax Pokémon won't be able to Gigantamax so no real point wasting time with Dynamax raids anymore, just wait for Gigantamax.
I'd love to see my reaper with it's signature dark move dark void. They don't want to outclass tyranitar I guess to make a top dark counter be a legendary 😢😑
Im a level 50 original player, Im in the top leagues, a giant legit whale, and I love the event. It’s time to hunt the costumed shinies from past years, having no new shiny is great !
Correction this is the worst Halloween event ever, no new shiny release and the shiny what most of us been wanting for years is still yet locked behind a paywall, Spiritomb been rare for far too long, even Riolu has had it's day 🤥
Everything is full of predatory bullshit, that is how this world works man. It's not ideal, but it is what it is. I am just choosing to make the best of it, and I am absolutely having fun with the game right now!
I understand hype around events, but events like this that can help progress your account can be huge. Keeping the collectables to a reasonable number is healthy so we don't burn out. If there are 10+ shiny targets that are limited then you might be disappointed if you get your top desired target. Also Max Phantasm has the same items being thrown in its Sword and Shield animation so I would have been excited if Polteageist was released but would still be excited for this event even if it wasn't released.
Last year there was two shiny releases and also a new pokemon release as well. This year just two pokemon with costums and a gigamax pokemon that only people in big places will get.
With all these costume Pokemon/ Dynamax pokemon going to need more storage here again. I'm currently trying to get Hundo Costume Vulpix/Ninetales and Shiny Zorua. As far as Gigatamax raids go not sure if I will be able to do it with lack of players.
It's pokemon you used to get for free now if you want them you got to pay... I'm good not a big costume collector my only wants... Is shiny spirtomb and also shiny zarura really all that excites me with this event but I'm sure I'll probably buy the 5$ research cause why not... Then ill just focus on doing 3 raids and try to stack those researches up hopefully they are not super rare researches to find...
7km eggs are the worst 😑 and the only reason why they keep leaving things behind a paywall is because we keep Giving them money and they not gonna stop with tickets cause we gonna keeping buying it no matter how ridiculous the boxes get 😂 oh lol The poteguest thing is funny asf too me players see a teapot and assume it was gonna be released 😂😂😂
There is only so much they can do, especially if they want to keep it on theme. Costume pokemon that can actually evolve is leaps and bounds better than what we have gotten in the past. If you get the Rowlet or Froakie with good IVs or shiny you should sit on it till Dec Comm day so it gets the community day move upon evolution. 2-3x catch candy is always good. Candy isn't the main driver any more but there are always collection challenges where you have to evolve stuff so its nice to have a surplus. Part 1 with Morpeko's debut, shiny odds boosted Zarua and opportunities for spiritomb is better than part 2 but there shouldn't be anything to actively complain about. The thing about the online community is they don't think about other players before complaining. If you just started this game in 2024 and you are between level 20-30, maybe you want cute costume pokemon since you don't have any. Maybe you need all the extra candy you can get for every pokemon because you haven't seen that many. When someone is between level 40-50 and all they do is complain about every event because its not something new for them, and its not what they are looking for in the game, they should probably be ignored. Let the newbies have some fun events to continue to build a bigger Pogo community. There is always a new batch of players and quite frankly we need them as interested as possible in this game to keep it around for years to come.
2:40 why would count suggest "utilizing this bonus" when the odds of getting any rear candy was 1 in 1000 last year? It means nothing for the average player, and even less to a hardcore player
I just wish for more candies available for the currently available Max Pokémon. I just don't have enough candy for powering up my Metagross or Charizard
Me too. I was forced to buddy a charmander just for candies but its still too slow. That's why doing gigantamax raids is very difficult, both short in candies to power up and people to do the gmax raids with
@@kentrodrigoroble8822 I've basically been leaving nothing but charmanders after finishing Dynamax raids, simply because I can't find them in the wild. I'll find a couple Bulbasaur/Squirtle most days, but no Charmander.
Beldum just had a Community Day Classic and the Galar starters have been spawning for a good while now. Unfortunate if you like Kanto starters, but there is absolutely enough candy to power up good Max Mons.
This event is lack luster, not even bothering on playing the game lol Niantic has made a good job on getting me less into the game gotta respect that 💯
They're at the point where they know the game is stale, but they're not sure what they think will get people excited again, but instead of listening to the players, they're just adding pointless features (party play, routes, Dynamax etc) and trying to see what sticks, and what was free seems to now be behind some sort of ticket - anyone who pays for the costumed pokemon ticket this year has more money than brains, we should really all boycott buying those and just play for free Dynamax battles are great challenges, but what is the purpose of them at the end of it? we can't use them for anything other than for other Dynamax battles
Its split. Some communities really like it. But if you look at the response on reddit, twitter, and other social media sites, there is definitely detractors.
niantic employees posing as players gaslighting. if the game was better than ever then why hasnt my entire friend list logged in for over two weeks? these were all pokemaniacs that are level 50 and would frequently gift me every day in excess. now i cant even open enough gifts to get enough potions.
@@marcusbullock630 what? bro what does the friends list have to do with anything? also my friends list logs in all the time idk what you’re talking about
its my first halloween event in pokemon go, so i dont really have a bad feelig about this. I LOVE costume pokemon and I want to collect them all (all that are possible to get in future events).
The event is pretty mediocre, but most of them are. I'm not sure I'd say it is a big disappointment because it seems most players are in general disappointed with the events in the game as well as with the game itself in many aspects. Still can only trade locally Even having a lucky trade doesn't allow long distance trading Remote pass daily limit Increased remote pass cost High tier raids being nearly unplayable for large chunks of the playerbase due to not having groups Shadow raids don't allow remote Elite raids don't allow remote The entirety of dmax/gmax Raid passes are used up even if you fail to win Even if you spent money on your raid pass and win you aren't guaranteed the catch Constant push for more microtransactions Kneecapping the capabilities of the go++ and other bluetooth devices for no real reason Changes to battling that affects the strength of mons in raids which is going to specifically hit the pokemon you invested the most time/candy/rarecandy/stardust into There are a lot of issues so I don't think the pushback and dislike for the event is really anything outside the norm
nobody cares about gigantmax or Dynamix. basically starting over pokemon go. we should have gotten mega gengar. duskclops with a community move, ghastly with a legacy move, and darkrai with his signature move. Ez.
People will always complain. They just want to be given everything with no effort but thats not a game. Its the challenge that makes it fun, its the rarity that makes it exciting etc
your comment is cookie-cutter and there's always an "Agree!" under it both here and in reddit.. this is the worst Halloween event ever and you know this.
How many times are we going to have community day pokemon for special events? Horrible this is why I stopped playing at the start of this season. Just disappointment from this game year after year
Nothing new to je honest it's just again same costumes/hats Plus lots of friends have random game crashes when loading pokemon after klik on it No loading colors on pokemon like its just crap update again and again after another
As someone who does spend money on the game, you do not need to spend money to do raids to get your spiritomb just do 1 raid daily with your free pass, 1* raid anyone can takedown.
New pokemon locke behind a paywall if you want to farm it. Spiritomb is once again locked behind a paywall if you want more than just one. Every year they make you limited on how many you get.
Go players: look how bad these FREE costumes for Pokémon are, I wish Niantic made costumes like how Unite has Meanwhile Unite players: TIMI FIX YOUR FKIN GAME, I DONT NEED A $100-200 HOLOWEAR, WHY ARE THERE 4 FKIN 400 GAMES -VE WR PLAYERS IN MY TEAM WHILE I HAVE TO PLAY AGAINST 5 12K GAMES 66% WR PLAYERS Also wtf am I supposed to do with my 100k coins, 500k aeos tickets, 4k holowear tickets, 6k fashion tickets and 3k energy exchanges????
The only reason why I don't like costumed pokemon is because you can't send them HOME. So whenever this game comes to an end all of them will be stuck and gone and all the effort put into finding them is all for nothing, so I don't bother even tapping on them
Hold on..... Niantic released teaser trailers of HAUNTED TEA CUPS AND TEA POTS..... and it's NOT a reference to the fucking HAUNTED TEA CUP AND TEA POT POKEMON??? JFC, who are the clowns running this clown show....
The absolute irony of saying “learn to speak for yourself instead of hiding behind ‘we’ and ‘everyone’”, while commenting on a video where the title is hiding behind “players”…😅
Note: DO NOT evolve your costumed Froakies and Rowlets until December Community Day! I can't believe I missed that point...
Thanks for the tip
1:21 It’s a big mistake to be urging people to evolve their costume shiny froakie and rowlet without informing your audience that if they wait just a couple months, they can also get hydro cannon/frenzy plant from December community day
True.
1:38 Do NOT Evolve them now, wait until the December Comm day and get both their elite moves. Your elite tm stack thanks you.
What’s December com day?
@@yuppydoodlon It's typically a 2 day event where they let you catch up on the past 2 years of comm days in case you missed them
One thing I have learned since starting this game is that no matter what they do, people will not be happy.
Although you're not wrong, I think it mainly boils down to events progressively getting worse. I took a few years off, and I'm mainly focusing on meta mons/getting pvp mons so honestly this event is whatever for me, I don't love it I don't hate it. I'll play, but I'm not gonna go CRAZY, or get upset about it like some do. While some players, especially more casual ones/f2p players LOVE the holiday events because if gives them that extra bonus without having to pay. I can understand the frustration, but can't relate to it, if that makes sense.
Niantic shills gonna niantic shill. the entire community is furious about dynamax right now, especially how they clutter the screen and block pokemon.
you're probably one of those people that magically got to level 50 for free lmao
What new you got in this event? A froaki and rowlet with hats, that's it?
Iast year there was shiny phatump release and also shiny zorua release. Besides the realae of Greavard, And this year? Nothing but gmx Gengar which only people in big cities will be able to get.
I would really like a mimku, one of my favourite Pokemon designs of all time. High praise from a gen 1er 😂
That rare candy on 31st october I hope they increase the chances. Last year I remember playing for hours, catching over a thousand pokemon with the go+ and only getting 2 rare candy. You literally get more doing a 3* raid
You don't get them from go+ catches.
The research task for Spirtomb is the main thing that got the community in an uproar.
Look at these pathetic costumed pokemon! It's just a hat EVERYTIME! Pokemon Unite adding real costumes to the franchise, but these pathetic "costumes" are embarrassing, who cares?!
I'm convinced people excited for these "costumed" Pokemon (read: a hat on top) are not ok.

At least the Pokémon Go costumes are free unlike Pokemon unite’s costumes (which you can only get with money)
I care.
Niantic have now confirmed that Dynamax Pokémon won't be able to Gigantamax so no real point wasting time with Dynamax raids anymore, just wait for Gigantamax.
That's the same as the game. DMAX can not evolve to GMAX
@@Trujones Not entirely true as there is an ingame item called Max Soup which can Gigantamax your pokemon.
@SnyderQueen true but that's some item loop hole. Not a main mechanic
@@Trujones True, it's pay to win basically because it's in the expansion pack.
Wait... WHAT?? Dynamax pokemon can't GMax? THEN WTF AM I INVESTING CANDIES INTO DMAX FOR?!?!?!? god fucking damnit....
I'd love to see my reaper with it's signature dark move dark void. They don't want to outclass tyranitar I guess to make a top dark counter be a legendary 😢😑
Alternate title: players dont like Niantic
Also first 😂
Also true. Very true. Lol
As a new player I think its awesome lol
because it is, the pogo community just likes complaining a lot lol
Same. Complaining is the dominant culture but I’m fine !!

I am excited for Halloween!
