Ya I just looked up the special research and the awards are meh. Like for a dollar it’d be solid for sure but 5 nah.

Each time I’m like no way they can outdo themselves and yet again they surprise me once more 🤢

It’s the cost of a pose. If you get the ticket just for the pose, I don’t think it’s that bad. But if you do it expecting items, it’s terrible.

It’s not even a super incubator lmao

Poses have been assigned a 500 coin value (so $5). So it’s the pose you are paying for.

Go buy a pose by itself and tell me this is a rip off

People justifying the price because of the pose are the reason Niantic keeps making billions off of these ridiculous tickets and prices.
How can anyone even think that paying 5$ for a pose, which you basically only see in the Raid Lobby and does not matter for the rest of the, is acceptable itself?

These guys are straight up stupid for thinking it was a good idea and people are stupid for purchasing such a stupid idea

This is a great way for them to pay the bills without impacting the competitiveness of the free-to-play crowd. Let them charge as much as they want for costumes and poses, as long as they keep new Pokémon free. Also many thanks to the players who buy these and support the game!

Do they know how much I’d pay for a Mr Mime?

Niantic is out of touch with what it means to be a person.

That was a pretty hostile comment for something that is extremely optional
EllieCat009
so don’t buy it??? so much damn complaining on this sub over stuff that this that doesn’t effect you in any way
phon3s94
im so confused, is this sarcasm? poses alone are just under 5 dollars are they not?
you can argue that poses cost too much to begin with (and i wont disagree) but the pricing of this is consistent with what your buying so i dont see why this is something to be so angry about. even if you think they should cost less, 2 incs and an incense is 340 coins so about $3.40. that would mean the pose is only like $1.60.
so if anything this is a really good deal
Co1iflower
To be fair – the other poses are $5 on their own, so playing devils advocate it’s not a bad deal if you like the pose.
rearisen
$1 or nothing from me Niantic
Edit* I’m not putting any more into storage upgrades either. Sad to see a company become so money hungry.

Some of my friends got the pose, and I found it cute, so I decided to buy it too, lol. But really, it’s the season of chaotic spending — Xmas — lattes, brand name clothes & shoes, extra take-out. Heck I think I bought a big bow for $5 for an already overpriced gifts lol — this is ticket fits right in the category of ridiculousness. HAPPY flippin’ HOLIDAYS!! Why else do I work if it’s not to spend money on frivolous things?? Haha!

Couldn’t this have just been a comment in one of the other 1,500 threads about this optional research that have been posted since it came out?
Spirit_Bloom
You are clearly spending $5 on a pose. And clearly people are buying them.
Don’t like it? Don’t buy it. Why cuss them out over it? Niantic isn’t the only company that overcharges its customers. I mean, people drop $10-15 on a movie ticket these days when they could wait a few months to see a movie.
If people are stupid enough to buy it, they will charge the price.
LZSchneider1
Lol they’ll make *millions*
Fernsehkumpel
bought it then saw the rewards aaand dissappointed. the pose is ok i guess for christmas
timoddo_
