“Previously priced at 99p, $0.99 or €0.99, the ticket will now cost £1.99, $1.99 or €2.19.”
Nice clickbait.

I was a day 1 player who played until like 2021 or so. Came back to the game this past summer and played for a few months only to realize just how much is locked behind paywalls now. Almost nothing good is found in the wild anymore, you have to pay to play.
Edit: Lots of people asking and almost all of the new/fun/good pokemon are now in eggs, or you get from other various quests you pay for.

Game is mature enough it’s not really getting more new players than those that are quitting, so the only way to maintain sales numbers is to increase prices and sales funnels and milk the addicted.

Another reason to never spend a penny on this game.

Gee I wonder which title will garner us more clicks aka sweet advertising revenue

The fact that there are some Pokemon you have to pay actual money to encounter in the wild is insane to me. Even more so that these are timed.

My app has been sitting there untouched for a while. I’m a rural player so you can imagine how frustrating that is to begin with. I wouldn’t mind spending money for avatar upgrades but they uglified the characters so now I don’t care. I definitely am not paying money to battle or catch Pokémon. I wonder if they are quiet killing this app.
I wish they did more with the AR stuff like they hinted at in the commercials. It’s such a cool feature but they just didn’t do much with it. I wish they had more interactivity. Even Pocket Camp has better AR.

This is your sign to switch to monster hunter now instead

Day 1 player who was able to finally kick this game out of my life, best thing I ever did. I stopped playing about 3 months ago and I do not miss it at all. It easily went from a fun activity game to a chore.

Lol. That’s too bad.

These tickets are not worth buying and don’t add anything extra to the game. They are basically a money grab.
I still play and I spend almost nothing on this game.
I also have a bunch of google play credits from the rewards app that I will use on nothing else so I may as well get myself a few things here and there but mostly other than the large event tickets like Go Fest I find the tickets not worthwhile at all.
If you place your pokemon at gyms you can earn plenty of coins that way.

Charging for something called “Community Day” is a special kind of scummy.

Stop playing this game and stop giving Niantic money

I stopped playing entirely after TCG Pocket came out. Currently in the process of transferring all my pokemon to Home and deleting my account

I downloaded it for the first time a few months ago because a job I was applying for at the Pokemon Company asked for my level in Pokemon Go lol. I was just happy to have found starter Pokemon in the wild so easily. Was cool to be able to transfer a bunch of Bulbasaur to my Home account.
But I don’t imagine myself ever using it regularly. I’d prefer having the battery life on my phone and the app not knowing where I am 24/7

WoahItsHim
I did tried coming back to this game last year around summer but my god, lots of stuff is really lock behind buying stuff. Just not worth the effort

I realize now that I mostly stopped playing around the time dynamax came out. Forcing me to recatch/trade for lucky/hunt for shiny and then power all those up again really put me off. I don’t want to do that again for every meta Pokémon and it seems likely we’ll have to do it again for Terra mons too.
I wonder if they saw an overall drop in players because of it.

Why is this on the Nintendo sub? Lol

I enjoy playing it when I’m at Pokémon League or some other event. That’s about it.
