No way they would let mythical or legendaries get ez XL so the rate would have to be minuscule for that to happen

When your feature is essentially “give me more stuff for free” I don’t really know what to tell you. That’s just not how free to play games operate.

Amazing idea. Which means they’ll never do it.

No no no that would be too much like getting experience points for your pokemon from battling. Can’t have that. Can only get experience points for the pokemon you’re not using and are actively beating up.

you know how much they earned from kyurem day’s ticket (which said “increased xl candy drop rate”),they didnot increase much (heck i even doubt if they increased at all), but i know tonn of people who bought that just for farming some xl cadies (and got diappointed).
do you seriously think that they would do something that let’s go of such money making leverage. Again niantic/scopely doent give a damn about promoting going out/encouraging more battles. to them all f2p players are a liability (they earn almost nothing(except some data) from free players), that doesnot justify their server costs/ lawsuits/ fines / dev & suport costs(which i doubt are worth mentioning). Their main goal is making money, and anything that in the way of letting it happen is something they’d never do, unless ofcouse the paying people start to boycott buying stuff.
the xl candies are tedious and EXPENSIVE to farm for a reason, they’ll not make it easier unless servere unanimous pushback comes from pay-2-win playerbase.

Niantic:
“Sure! How about you need to activate a new item, the last reward of a $7,99 pass.
Its obvioulsy a single use item so you need to buy another pass later, it only lasts 3 hours when you use it, and expires in a month.
Oh, and the *odds* to get the XL Candy are about 10% each grunt!”

That is too many positives to be considered unfortunately

Negatives: less money for corp

Bro these companies DO NOT CARE. Unless they can moneitze it, they couldn’t give two shits. The app inherently is free and therefore is going to be a tedious grindfest for most people, if you don’t like it, pay up (their logic, not mine). But also like, people don’t like doing the shadow Pokémon battles? I’ve been out here doing them for the love of the game, helps that Colosseum and XD were my childhood but shiiii, one of the last positive things about this game are these guys.

I actually had a very similar idea. I was thinking, why can’t we train Pokémon? Feels like a good idea for PvP, just grind X amount of battles to push a few “free” levels towards 50. Without candy XL.

Doesn’t seem too farfetched does it?
