    Horseshit, this is not acceptable.
    And this endless monetizing is making people quit i myself am getting ready to transfer my mythicals to home, cause stuff like this is telling me the game is ending and they are looting us for for all we have left.

      The game has at least another 5-8 years to go, but unfortunately Niantic wants to squeeze y’all’s money as much as possible, this game has a long way to go 😢I stop spending money on coins since the eggscamm from Riolu shiny debut, I have only paid for tours and PoGoFest.

      You guys are so dramatic. The game gained more monthly users last year than any previous year besides 2016. Stop crying about every announcement, you’re grown ass people. And the pass itself is free, just like always, if you want more out of the game you gotta pay. But no one’s forcing you to, just do the free one..

    I am not very okay with it especially putting a second Victini as a reward despite Victini being free already through Special Research. At least it is not the shiny debut.

      @@flamingwrecker2598 GO will never have a shiny debut other than Meltan. TPC will only allow Niantic to issue shinies that have already been debuted in the mainline games. Meltan is the only exception because it's pretty much exclusive to GO. It was made for this game and can pretty much only be gotten and transfered by playing this game.

      There are like 50 odd rewards, I think, lots of candies and incense, I will tell my honest opinion if I think something's bad, but these rewards look quite good, it's not a forced paywall, I think it's actually quite balanced for a change

    • @anonsidious358
      @anonsidious358 12 днів тому

      @Tank-f7z The lucky trinket having been paid for in a deluxe fashion should not be on a timer. One use and done I can accept. Yet you are correct about the rewards for playing are quite good and helpful to players.

    A small overlooked detail is that some Pokémon (confirmed by the Niantic trailer) will only be available via the Tour Pass. Zorua, Meinfoo, Pawniard, and Vullaby (I’d assume Sandile as well, but wasn’t confirmed) won’t be habitat-spawning in the wild or hatching from eggs during GoTour: Unova.
    Also, I’m sure we’ll get the other unannounced legendaries (Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion, Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus) via Special Research, but it’d be cool to get those for the Major Milestone encounters.
    An unrelated downside is that we’ve gotten 0 information on Keldeo, which we haven’t seen for several years.

    7:10 I actually like that it doesn't stay forever. I think they're more testing to waters, see if this item is broken before introducing it again - either for event or something perm, possibly at a different price. It makes a lot of sense to me. That said, I do wish it stayed /longer/.

    So, basically the same tickets they been issuing lately but just under a different name? If that's a value to anyone, more power to you. For me, a one time one friend use item and a mon that you can get for free from special research? Will pass on this one.

    Think I'm gonna disagree with this one.
    If anything, it's more like shifting paid bonuses off one ticket, into another form of ticket that requires more time investment as well as more money to pay to unlock. Especially when we've had these kind of bonuses either available for free, or as part of the regular timed research linked to these events.

    What they can do since they are already charging for a premium pass is guarantee encounters within said pass for hard to get RELEVANT mons for people in areas that are not that active or rural players. The timer on the trinket is unacceptable. Should be one use and then done. Not hurry and use it.

    I'm planning on getting the deluxe +10 pass for now to see how good it will be, and I'm a bit bummed out that the lucky trinket being only on a timer based system when it could be available for a player for up to a year with the benefit of trading from anywhere in the world. I think that might come around next year when we get the next GO Tour Global with Hoopa having an adventure effect that would allow us to not only raid for Pokemon from anywhere, but also allow for us to trade with our global friends list.

  • @erroneus00
    @erroneus00 12 днів тому

    NOPE! Not going to pay for ANYTHING until they fix gmax. At level 50, with my small but strong circle, I have had access to everything in the game until gmax which is outrageous. I have voluntarily given up on aspects of the game because they are intolerable. GBL, for instance has rampant cheating, requires high ongoing investments and constant "rebalances" turns the Pokemon you worked hard to grind, catch and powerup into worthlessness.
    What do I do still? I sign in, put things in gyms, do a raid if it's close and little else. Been slowly(free) dumping best shiny legendary into home. I'm working my way through all mainline Pokemon games for switch.
    Mobile online gaming all work by pulling on some very primitive addictive instincts within all humans and they use mostly deceptive means while doing so. Niantic uses vague language to prevent people from making rational and informed decisions. That's why we are always straining with "what does boosted mean? what does really lucky mean?" They could just tell us but they won't. Instead they really on addicts who follow the hype of youtubers.

    This is NOT good for every PoGo player. This is good only for those who can play for a week straight! It makes absolutely no sense to pay for a pass that requires you to actively play through the week, if you have.. lets say WORK or tend to your family like.. monday-friday. 2 day event tickets were cool. With this system you pay but are not be able to get bang for your buck, if you cant play all the time = at the time of paying yoy have no idea what you will get for your money!

      @SirMopy 11 днів тому

      i hope that everyone can use their fking brain.. because, if you already know that you won’t have the time to play constantly due to work and stuff, just leave it as a free to play pass… coz it’s fking FREE… if you can see that it’s possible for you to do the tasks maybe after work, you can always buy it later to get the rewards for both. it only sucks when you want that lucky item and don’t have the time for it to play.
