I mean…yeah, okay, sure, it’s an optional $1 purchase.
But still. It’s *stardust*. The one thing in the game besides Pokeballs that you can reliably get for free. What is the incentive to waste a dollar on something you could probably get yourself just by catching a few pidgey?

Straight up just buying stardust. At LEAST give us a couple green passes so we can do more battles / encounters

This is an awful direction to take the game in.

It just keeps getting worse and worse it’s like they’re literally trying to kill their game

Niantic is on black tar heroin

This might sound silly to some of you, but I just uninstalled the game. This was the straw that broke the camels back.
There are too many disappointments for me to continue playing. I hope I return one day when the game does a U turn but I doubt it at this rate. Feels like it’s just downhill.
I get about that much stardust and three times the rare candies each day just from playing. Why would I want to pay for this?

You can buy Donald Duck Fruit Punch at Dollar Tree with that dollar. Make the right choice.

I’m actually surprised they haven’t tried monetizing stardust earlier, thought this was a quick way to make a dollar for them

Gave the game the old boot, deleted yesterday but haven’t played in like weeks and I’m happy, especially cuz I don’t have too many irl friends that play, so remote raid were my holy grail
Wait so like, it doesn’t even give any bonuses? Just a flat 25,000 dust and some candies? Like I could see getting the ticket for x4 stardust from claiming GBL rewards, or maybe the whole day you get access to the premium rewards track without the need for raid passes, but this? They want me to pay money for something I’ll earn in the first hour of Go battle day?? GBL is the only reason I’m still playing this game, don’t ruin this too for god’s sake.

Holy fuck. Are they being that flagrant about gutting the fattened calf here? I’m down to do little that even keeps me playing that I’m pretty well out of reasons to do so.

Straight up buying stardust
Eventually you’ll be able to buy 1 million star dust for 100 bucks
This is gross.
I’m sorry, WHAT?
What the… I mean I personally only ever did Go Battle days for the free elite TM. Now they want payment and no ETM?
They’re hilarious. It’s such a slap in he face that they want actual money too.
Lol a dollar for a star piece. The rest you get for free anytime you want.
*who’s buying this
Just say no to spending anything with Niantic. Turn off your location data too.
So basically just buying the same about of rewards u get from 25 battles? Hell no
This is an experiment, isnt it?
It is getting kinda insulting this season
Wtf?? Just catch 100 pokemans and you‘re good
Fr that’s what I said
as a person used to vape the daily incense and hitting stardust, I’m concerning the wellness of someone who buys this
That’s not even a lot of stardust…
People will still dump money into this game just cuz it’s Pokémon it’s a shame how they treat the players
Didn’t this used to be free?…

There are many other games to play, though!
It’s a no for me
Why are they so stingy with rewards?
Pay for our stardust event, it’ll only take forever and a bunch of resources to get less than what you get for 3 5* raids.
Do they not know it takes 10x that stardust to bring 1 raid, research, or hatched Pokémon to lvl 40? Regardless of the candy.
They act like they have to pay the elf’s a living wage to produce stardust, incubators, and raid passes.

Wasn’t this free last time?
Niantic can ligma
Just delete Pokémon go it doesn’t delet your mons
That is a hard pass

I’m pretty much constantly low on stardust and I wouldn’t even spend more than maybe 10 free pokécoins for so little
Yeah FUCK THIS SHIT.
The fucking AUDACITY. I feel like I’m on Punk’d what is this company
Someone charge Niantic with conspiracy to commit murder because they are actively attempting to kill PoGo
i can now pay to get beat by the same meta pokemon over and over again for super little reward? i like that idea
Money? From me? After the raid pass nerf?
Niantic got some big balls to ask that, but they can kindly go eat a bag of dicks
The game is moving to a P2W since they nerfed the remote passes
Someone explain I’m new to the game why isn’t this a great offer?
