This didn't feel like Go Fest. It just felt like a 2 day raid day
Even go tour was more alive than go fest
They should give everyone 10 free raid pass , they again proof that this game is pay to win @@Blind404
@@swampwitch7313 true..
Exactly, I spend the whole weekend thinking "Is this it? Am I missing something???"
@blind404 And exactly what goes on in bigger cities? Go tour and global are the same thing, just with more people doing the same thing
As a free to play player, this event was so difficult to prepare for. I had 17 raid passes leftover on Sunday and BARELY got enough energy to fuse two Necrozmas. Requiring players to use nearly 20 raid passes to fully experience an event is ridiculous.
Yes
fr
I agree like I only got 220 luna energy and 100 solgaleo energy from the code
I second this!! I was lucky enough to save enough raid passes to fuse two Necrozmas, but since there were so many Ultra Beast raids on day 1, I felt that I had to choose between doing the Ultra Beast raids or getting enough fusion energy to get at least one Dawn Wings Necrozma and one Dusk Mane Necrozma. I ended up opting for the fusions, but I feel like we should have received more fusion energy per raid so we didn’t have to choose between doing the fusions or raiding for the Ultra Beasts. (I know we were given a week to raid for Ultra Beasts, but given that some required remote raid passes to do during the week, it kind of made it more feasible to wait until the weekend to do it instead).
I got 590 dawn wings energy from all my 6 raids 😂 at least I got a hundo necrozma & a decent lvl 25 one. I have 46 premium passes but can't use them since the game is dead in my area
I think it’s tickets for me. Too many tickets. Whether in person or global, it’s just costing too much. The one year go fest was $5 was incredible and they probably got sooooo many more people to play. $20 is insane. And then if you wanna raid, ticket. If you wanna hatch eggs, ticket. It’s just getting excessive. And this is coming from someone who loves this game and plays daily.
agree :((
they only do this because certain people start foaming at the mouth at the thought of getting a hundo or shiny that they spend hundreds on raid passes, not even knowing that IVS don't even matter unless they do master league. its people like this that ruin it for everyone else and leads niantic to keep prices the same or even raise them because they're profitting off them.
Yepppp - when the game is supported by Freetoplay players as the majority, it’s shameful to make gameplay behind a pay wall- this will cause harm to the game cause since everyone is already talking about bailing
Good Point - that one 5$ year was because it was sponsored by Samsung so hopefully we get that again
Beast balls made it seem it was all about raids since it was quick to catch. But I’ve been to in person events and it’s always about the raids. The spawns could have been better tho.
Love the BEAST BALLS
Was only thing that was good the other good stuff u had too pay for it
They should have done the catch bonus on both days.
It would have been great to guarantee ticket holders a 3* shiny!
Yeah, without beast balls would have been a nightmare. Adding them definitely saved the event in my opinion. You really want an auto-catcher when there are a ton of raid bosses for the event. Wish they did 1 weekend raid...2nd weekend wild.
Beast balls made raiding an incredible experience. Would love if they stayed permanently
AGREEED!
Sup
wild homeslicehenry spotted
YES
Beast balls only work better for ultra beasts, they are way way worse than pokeballs on other pokemon
Best one was the first global go fest. Every Legendary Pokemon rotating in gyms every hour. Nothing has topped that since.
Naw that one was golden😭
That was actually 2021 the second global go fest, agreed that is was lots of fun
Yeah that was sick.
@@StrYEETWizard9112021 was amazing. It had all the legendarys and let people get a giant diverse group of legends that people didn’t have before
The only problem with that format is that it's not efficient to farm up XLs but otherwise it's awesome
I imagine that Niantic designed it for the 99.999% of people who aren't flying around the world getting two weeks of a two day event. I played six hours each day, got more than my fill of it, and left pretty happy. If I had the opportunity to hit all three cities, I'd have been out hunting regionals as much as anything.
Lmao 100% man. Idk why a pokemon CZcamsr is complaining
@@jmoriarty8000facts
Ya definitely got a screwed perspective
i played both days and got LESS shinies i have ever had in any go fest the only upside for me was a hundo marshadow and hundo necrozma thats it
I think the purposes of Global Go Fest were met this year. I was actually able to see a group of real people in my rural community be able to get together and many of them had missed most of the CDs and other things. Global go Fest is meant for rural communities more so than any other event. But having to do SO MANY raids to fuse both forms beyond the free passes they gave with the ticket was extremely disappointing. My only complaint about the featured spawns was that it had far too many regularly high spawning non event pokemon. Yungoos and Pidgey? Come on. I'm fine with the old comm day spawns. It made our community so excited. I personally skipped most of those, but they were a huge hit.
I agree with you. I was shocked to see people I hadn’t seen in years out in the park playing this event. What I didn’t like is the fact that in my city (Mexico City) the community ambassadors’ events have unfortunately focused the playing areas in one or two parks only, and other smaller but nice parks were almost empty.
It’s funny to see how you didn’t like Pidgey or Yungoos, when to me they were some of the most exciting spawns 😅. I was tired of seeing Tyrunt, Hoppip, and Amaura (because I have plenty of shinies), but my friends were so eager to catch them (one of them was so excited to get shiny Hoppip because he stopped playing years ago and didn’t have it).
There are always things we are going to like and dislike about these events, so we should try to find something that brings us joy. Playing with old and new friends was it for me.
Glad you had a good time! Overall like I said at the end of the day its a great event
Dude the only boost they gave us was unlimited REMOTE raids.. that used to be NORMAL
For real!
And beast balls
@@georgeedwards5451 That's still something we "earned" by doing something in the game that isn't exactly free after a point. One of my friends raided over 83 times in that challenge.. they made their money off that challenge and made us feel special because they gave us balls that should already be used for ultra beasts to begin with. If I recall right, they even mentioned we would always get beast balls in ultra beast raids
@@NeCoruption Even extended free passes so you don't have to buy battle passes
@@startheangel9760 no they didn't. I got one pass like normal and used my 15 premium passes on necrozma
3:40 Dax I believe what you’re referring to is a “compliment sandwich” where you say something positive, something negative, and then end with a positive.
That's the polite way to put it 😂
Yes, this.
Yep
Or the more crass common name, s*** sandwich lmao
Honestly, biggest tip for you would be to stop going to all of the in person events. Like you said, you went to all 3 and got everything you could possibly want. The global isn’t for streamers who go to all 3. It’s for everyone that can’t afford to travel to play all the in person events. Personally I went to NYC and had a blast, but seeing the spawns like tyrunt, rattata, ducklett, and amaura were kinda trash. But all of my friends that didn’t go to NYC were able to get them. So I think it comes down to either not playing global, or don’t do all of the in person events. If we keep asking for more and more this game will die in a year or 2. Once they run out of stuff to release or feature it’s over.
Fully agree with this. I think Global should still be equal-ish to the in person ones, but not to dilute the overall pool elsewise. Luckily I am blessed and can travel and can go to NY or Seattle or wherever in the States (cuz like heck am I going out of country for a game lol) and understand those will be much better...hence why I go, but for my brother or GF who also like to play but aren't as involved, it sucks sometimes showing them what I got and did in NYC only to come back and they get 20ish shinies. 2020 was absolutely amazing, but since then it's felt off and less rewarding than that one was. Just my 2 pennies
Well said, i didn’t have shiny Tyrunt, Phantump, Amaura
, Necrozma and other ones so this go fest was amazing for me
This is a great perspective I never thought of.. All the videos I saw so far seem super negative besides a few. I had such a good time as someone who quit for a few years. But I also get why people who never stopped grinding didn't like it, so I could see an argument for more "balancing" so to speak. Ultimately whatever comes out makes some groups excited, some groups alienated/bored which is almost inevitable due to how many styles of players Pokemon Go has (casuals, sweats, GBL/PVP, raiders, shiny hunters, XP grinders, Etc, etc) Edit: Tyrunt is goated though leave my boy alone LOL
@@TheMadSnorlax Got every shiny I wanted, it was great
@jmoriarty8000 I suppose my ONLY complaint was I didn't get shiny Xurk 🤣 but honestly as that being the only thing I didn't get, fair enough! Stoked to hear you got everything you wanted that's awesome!
Field research tasks were really bad on Day 2. Felt like 75% of them were directed to raid. Not much for people that were looking to go out catching Pokémon in the wild. Too bad there is no option to select your research path for hunting or raiding
ya they definitely skew it toward raiding on day 2
I really miss unannounced surprises like meltan's release or the first time sunglasses squirtle popped up.
This was sooo funnn
Inevitably every big event has become a raid-centric event. If you cannot make peace with paying to raid, it is almost impossible to participate meaningfully.
That Is why "raid day" Is better. Everyone get 5 free ones that Is enought to "play" and dont feel left out
not true tho, you can just the ticket and not making raids and still getting a buch of shinys
This is a good point
I hate how people say "oh it'll come out next year" like... do yall realize how LONG a year is? We're not promised that we'll be playing "next year". So let's stop making "next year" sound like "next month".
LOL GOOD POINT
Would have been nice if Niantic posted which ones got their legacy moves before, but as usual they didn't want us to evolve our pokemon. Pidgey to Pidgeot didn't work so I assumed other ones didn't work. Whatever, that's a big repeat flaw from Niantic: not communicating things clearly enough
AGREED this kinda info needs to be headsup
This GoFest felt too convoluted for what it was.
1. Necrozma + solar energy + cosmog + research to get both was insanely annoying compared to last year's simplicity.
2. Exp, stardust, etc... bonuses were only day 1
3. Shiny rates felt way lower than last year. (Got 66 last year and 21 this year)
4. Pokemon go is about catching pokemon and yet day 2 really doesn't really reward the downtime between raids at all.
5. Field research was insanely annoying:
WHY IN THE WORLD would you add field research that asks you to FINISH FIELD RESEARCH!?!?!? it just eats space.
6. GoFest ticket holders were not given the proper amount of raid passes to complete the event research.
I get that no.5 point lol.
Had 2 at the same time and the third was hatch 3 eggs. Though the free cosmos/necrozma candies were pretty good. I would have preferred rare candy.
I liked the habitat thing, I didn’t understand why they didn’t do it on day 2 as well.
I agree with number 6. I was doing raids and only getting 80 fusion energy causing me to do more raids. That was dusk mane. Dawn wings was giving me 110 fusion most of the time. I did way less dawn wings than I did dusk mane. They knew that would happen. They knew what they were doing.
3. might be unlucky i have no idea. this is my first one and i got 61 shinies. came in with 14 left with 75. as my main goal is to have a living shiny dex i didnt really worry about doing absurd catching. only shiny checking; which might be a very dull strat for such a low lvl player like me. but everything else i agree with
@@TrashPanda12 it depended on buddies and gym teams
@@kylemacg4899 I am team instinct and there is a weird disdain for them. But I'm not changing my team.
Overall, worst for sure. Saturday ultra beasts were cool, but Sunday was pure money maker for Niantic. Not fun at all.
cry about it
Go fest ❌
Raid fest ✅
1. The spawns should be for 24 hours. Some people work and there’s just no reason it HAS to start at 10 and end at 6. If I want to go out at midnight and hunt for shinies they should be out and about. Trying to hunt all the shinies while also raiding is impossible ESPECIALLY when the shiny odds on raids are 1/20. 20 raids for each ultra beast while doing research and catching there’s too much going on.
2. Might’ve been better to have raid hour style for the ultra beasts. Like 1 hour is buzzwole the next is Xurkitree etc. scrambling to get all the ultra beasts when they’re scattered all over the place is a cluster f***. And increase the shiny odds to 1/10 on raids. Some people are doing 80+ raids before getting a shiny which is crazy. The players should feel rewarded for doing the event. Not like it’s any old Wednesday raid hour
3. Egg shiny odds are abysmal. Also why is there a cap on how many gifts you can open during go fest?
4. Having guaranteed lucky trades for first trade of the day might be a nice touch.
5. Why didn’t they do the unown 2 minutes? Random unown on the incense made it impossible to get any shiny unown. The in person events should be great but they shouldn’t be that much better than the global event. You’re just rewarding players with more money and shitting on the players who can’t travel across the globes 3 times without a few months. People have jobs and families. If it’s available at the in person events it should be the same for the global.
All in all I still enjoyed the event but I do feel like it’s just kind of like a thrown together mess with many things that could be improved upon
All of this. I had to work all weekend and only had about 1.5-2 hours of total gameplay the entire weekend. I can’t even fusion the 3 Necrozma I managed to get. I’d get raids being a limited time during the day to try and consolidate people for groups, but wild spawns should go from idk 10a on Saturday through 6p on Sunday if they really can’t just do a solid 48 hours
This was my first gofest I paid attention to and paid for..
first day was fun. Lots of different raids to catch, tons of spawns and different global goals. The 2nd day was bad. I got tired of the necrozma raids (I didn't know there was only going to be necrozma raids the 2nd day so I didn't end up getting anything except xurkitree and guzzlord). The spawns were less common, like normal incense levels for me. I only got 1 shiny over the whole weekend and I caught like at least 400 pokemon. I wish the 2nd day was like the first day, at least spawn levels.
Granted that 2nd day was more mundane, should have read the notes before going so you know what to expect, live and learn…
Same for me. It was my first proper go fest. I did play a good amount on day 1 but was focused only on raids on day 2. It felt as if there was a lot to do with only so much time on hand.
Damn unlucky on the shinies
That could just be that you didn't catch much at all. 400 would probably be an average on a casual Community Day 3 hour window. 400 over an entire weekend is extremely low to really compare how lucky/unlucky you were with shinies.
@@RaulRojas09 yeah I get that but I caught pretty much everything that spawned in, i think it was more like 600 now that I think about it. First day was probably 3/4 of that number which is a really good spawn rate for the college town I'm in. 2nd day I had to take care of my nana but I went on a route walk around her building and took her out to lunch and almost nothing spawned in even with incense and all that. We were further in town too among gyms and stops and still had a low spawn rate.
The sheer amount of raids required to get ultra necrozma was insane. My wife and I play a lot together but we both said we hope it isn’t even close to this next year. It was miserable trying to run down to raids for four hours just to get the energy required for fusions.
Wait what is ultra necrozma?
Or is this another badly communicated release update 😅
@@MichaelBoogerd in USUM is when you get Dawn Wings and Dusk Mane Necrozma and both turn into Ultra Necrozma, so I just call both forms Ultra Necrozma.
Who cares, you get rare candy, XL candy and lot of xp etc..
@@jmoriarty8000 I have two young kids with me, it’s hard keeping them out that long in the heat.
@@faust5894 Alright that’s a good point
It isn't easy to strike a balance between things that are free and things that are paid, and they don't always get it right, but I feel like a lot of people act like everything should be free. I don't agree with this because the longevity of the game relies on restricting how much stuff people can get. That's why Mega Rayquaza was in elite raids. If it was a raid day, most people would get the most powerful Pokemon in the game with a good chance of getting really good IVs, and maybe even a shiny. Next time it comes around, people won't bother.
Good point there is a balance so that the game can stay alive
Niantic did NOT mention we would have ONLY Necrozma on Sunday..
As a result I didn’t get any shiny ultra beasts…. Because I thought I could raid them on day two as well…
And also, they did NOT mention on the official website that Necrozma would NOT have fusion energy on Saturday…
Why have Necrozma on Saturday then…!?????
WORST GOFEST EVER!!!
It's not Niantic. This game was good before the pokemon company got their grubby paws on it. Now it's pay to win. I've been watching this game evolve over 8 years. It's definitely the pokemon company. Be mad at them.
My only complaint is the fusion energy gained each raid, and it's not about how to take down the raid boss the fastest to get more fusion energy. It's just varies from 80 to 120, which is very annoying. It's very time-consuming, and it's difficult to get both Dawn Wings and Dusk Mane. I managed to get both of them, luckily, but still, it's very irritating and exhausting.
Ya I think it was based off gym control & stuff like that which is odd
I hate the fact that I have to do 7 raids (or 6 with codes) to fuse necrozma. At least the Primals are tolerable with me because they had raid days for themselves.
The primals didn't have raid days when they were introduced, so your criticism is, at best, too early to make. The primals were introduced in hoenn tour and it required premium items (either paid via real live currency or earned pokecoins) to do.
@icanmakerice to counter that point, primals are at least re-mega-able with only an upfront cost while fusions take an absurd amount of energy. Also as of this comment you can get more energy by walking said primal pokemon, that isn't possible with fusions and you'd think if they were going to allow it that would be a feature day 1 rather than an update.
Not only that, but at least megas give more energy. Usually you only have to raid once or twice, these you had to do about 8 times to get enough energy for just one fusion. I do sincerely hope there is an eventual secondary way to get energy because it's not even that much of a differnece maker with the nerf both dusk and dawn got once released. At least make them just slightly stronger than the current 1 spot so the fusion of 2 pokemon is with beating 1.
@@Paintballpro18 and also in base form even if you don’t have the Mega energy they still are relevant in PVP and raids while Solgaleo is the only good PvP Mon and the other 2 are bad in both departments.
@@Paintballpro18Yes it takes a lot of energy to fuse to get one of the necrozma. But then it also doesn't have a time limit on it. Mega evolution lasts only for 8 hours while fused mons stay fused unless we separate them manually.
@ritikdrona okay but say you want to dex entry a dawn and dusk, there's 1000 each, and then you need to fuse 2 more for good IVs. That's 2000 each, and I doubt many trainers thought that far. That's basically asking people with the ticket to have raided (efficiently btw) 26 more times using the 1000 you get for free for one, and 400 for the codes we got, plus/minus the amount you recieved per raid. Getting only 9 free passes on the day, that's 17 premium passes you had to use yesterday to complete the dex.
Plus at least with megas, they are free after the initial cost (which is what I take full advantage of to increase mega level) while fusions are fused and if you mess up, that's energy down the drain. As I stated in my comments, wouldn't have a problem if they decreased cost, gave us a way to make it up, or some other perk to make the huge cost to players worth it.
Sigh… my GoFest was a disaster. Had been accumulating storage at least, but finding out I had to also get at least 10 Premium Raid passes just make a single fusion I was a little crushed. Still used the passes I had but ended up not getting more or chasing either of the fusions.
My nephew was pumped though, he ended up with a shiny Necrozma and enough fusion energy to make a Dawn Wings
You touched on it, but to me the main problem is Niantic adding "bonuses" that don't feel like bonuses, but rather something that should be in game permanently (catching raid bosses easily) or were (uncapped remote passes). I will also never understand why they are SO bad about making spawns fun. It's such an easy and obvious fix.
On a final note as a EU player I can't believe I have caught this many Corsola, but have STILL not seen a single form of Tauros ever, denying everyone outside NA the ability to complete our Kanto dex how many years in? Meanwhile NA players got almost every regional exclusive Pokemon spawning at their homes. That'll always get me salty.
Ya its been a while since tauros was available worldwide - I think only during kanto tour
Mate I paid for the ticket and played 6 to 7 hours each day and only got 1 shiny and no hundos this go fest was trash
Same
130 Necrozma raids and no hundo here.
@@GrayFoxIRLStill below odds, but ok.
That sucks…I got 15 shinies on the first day and 12 shinies on the second day with ticket then after go fest I got 4 more shinies and hundo oddish
I got the same result without ticket and having to be locked to playing at home due to the heatwave(the maximum temperature was close to 44°C)💀
I am a free to play player, I had 5 raid passes for the whole weekend, I think they should have put *atleast* 200 energy per raid. You basically have to pay to play.
I do think the energy needed is a lot but why didn't you save any passes and grinded coins when the event was announced months in advance😭
They box I try to buy has 6 passes for 385 coins forget the name tho
@@franciscolaurean8550 I saved every pass I could.
@DARKLIF12345X welp hopefully it comes back in raid day with extra passes. Idk why they didn't give out at least 5 for free then maybe it wouldn't be as taxing and can get at least 1 form
Agree on Raid energy.... I paid like smuck so I ended with plenty, but definitely thought 200 was that magic number where it took effort but didn't feel like a total grind.
F2P players complaining they didn't get what the paying players get blows my mind. 🙄
Id argue they spiked the shiny rates. Been playing like a try hard for years and this event screamed to me that it was a scam. Clear discrepancy in the past events than current
The shiny rates were not increased and that’s a fact. Me and my husband didn’t buy the ticket and although I did get 11 shinies, ones I wanted as well my husband didn’t get ANY ! We played all over town too!
@@The_Cherokee_Gypsy Explain my 101 shinies between the two days then? If you didn't buy the ticket, I don't think you can judge the shiny rates tbh.
@@MrTheMorrissyea they clearly stated many times that shiny rates are not boosted if you didn't buy the ticket.
@@The_Cherokee_Gypsy The shiny boost was for ticketed players, if you didn't buy it your experience doesn't relate to it at all.
My experience was that the shiny rate was higher than I've ever seen in one of these events. I focused almost exclusively on checking, not wasting time on catching and my shiny rate was definitely closer to 1/64 than 1/128. Same for my friend.
tbh I felt the shiny rates were batter then last year - remember there is always RNG
So my random observations from 2024 GO Fest:
-Shiny odds for Necrozma felt like they were abysmal. I did close to 40 raids and it wasn't until #35 that I got a shiny. It did take a long time to gather the energy required to fuse. AND then it feels like the bonus effects for Fused Necrozma are kinda lame.
-I drove some players around and it felt like the game rewarded players more shiny pokemon for distance traveled. This also seems like a good strategy in general because more moving = more spawns to check = more shiny pokemon.
-The party rewards were ALL Pikachus. It would have been nice if they would have dropped some regional shiny pokemon in there to award players that played with friends and that continued with friends.
-The ability to do up to 6 special trades were AWESOME. This should be implemented in future events. Maybe even increase the amount to 8.
-No rotoms was a bummer.
-Beast balls were amazing, and the fact that you could excellent throw Necrozma close to every time was awesome!
-I didn't see any special eevees.
-On Day 2, we didn't see as many rare spawns compared to Day 1 and the rotating habitats.
-Having more timed research would have been fun to complete as there was basically nothing after the first hour of day 1.
-I caught close to 1400 pokemon on both days combined and not a single 98% or hundo.
-I got a total of 22 shinies (12 day 1, 10 day 2)
-Raids repopulated very fast which was great!
Was it fun? Yeah. Do I regret spending money on the ticket? Maybe a little. Did Niantic get rich in a single weekend. Heck yeah they did.
LMAO they did get rich - thanks for sharing you perspective
6 special trade was worthless unless people you were with had lucky friends with you no boost to random lucky trade like with anniversay event
My shiny odds were pretty good, but my ivs were trash. I prefer good ivs over shiny.
The last couple go fest I stayed home and caught a lot of shinys. This go fest I actually went out and found a meet up on campfire and the park had over 100 people and I barely caught any shinys and I bought the ticket
Shiny rate was definitely different this year. My whole community struggled to get shinys. I got 44 this year and the past two go fests I got 120 on average.
@@HydraHoodie U just got lucky on the other ones
Incredibly bad luck. I got so so many
Re: talking about pros/cons, I think you were looking for a ‘compliment sandwich’: they say it’s best to give a compliment or say something nice, then give them any bad news, but finish on another good thing to help people digest everything and not feel like crap
Kinda hard to compliment when everything they used to give us was taken, they had ONE boost and it was something that used to be a main feature(remote limits
Didn't even have a stardust or xp boost. No egg distance cut.. NOTHING
I totally just got to that part in the video lol
@@NeCoruptionI mean, if you bought a ticket you got 5,000 extra xp per raid which is 10,000 additional on a lucky egg. Also there was 1/2 hatch distance…
@@RyanRist2123 enough about the ticket bro. Nobody here is happy they charged a ticket for basic boosts they've given us for free EVERY event for years. This is shrinkflation at its best. Please stop defending it
@@RyanRist2123 and goddamn no, there was not half hatch distance unless youre talking about the ticket still. Hatch distance was also a FREE boost we've had hundreds of events.
This event was basically just a raid day for a lot of people it felt like. Like I bought the ticket because 3 coffees in exchange for raid passes, guaranteed 1 fusion, and the marshadow event, is absolutely worth while. I think you nailed it, that the bonuses for the ticket DO tend to be worth it, which is positive.
But subjectively, there weren't any spawns that I was excited about, nothing really new or rare (shiny jang-mo-o is cool, but its not ENOUGH in my view in terms of spawns for the "biggest event of the year"). I get that some people are super excited about them, but the Ducklett, Crabrawler, Emolga etc spawns? Like I would kill to be a fly on the wall in those meetings at Niantic when they're pitching spawns. Like the ducklett guy wins?
And the adventure affects of the fusions absolutely do feel just like, shoehorned in for no reason. I think you nailed it, its to say "look at all these adventure affects", but they just don't seem thought out. The ONLY thing about either adventure affect that seems cool, is Moongheist Beam counts as a full moon for Ursaluna. But other than that...surely people can wait until night time to evolve stuff. And the Daytime adventure affect...like there is probably 1 person out there that plays PoGo at their night time job and they sleep all day, and I'm sure that person is super pumped about these effects. Even though they can't raid for the energy to get them, since they only play at night.
This was my first Go Fest and I experienced it with a 9 year old as well. We went to the NYC Fest and bought the Global Fest. We had a blast at the NYC event and we played 5 or 6 hours each day on the global. Overall, we had a blast and enjoyed what we got (each ended up with a couple shiny Ultra Beasts and a couple Shiny Necrozmas and tons of regular shinies). If I could go back though, I wouldn't buy the Global Ticket after doing the city event. I didn't realize another Cosmog encounter in Global was free. Also the week of Ultra Beasts, plus the Ultra Beasts Encounters, kind of made Saturday a blah day for raiding in my opinion. You had to choose between Ultra Beasts that you've been raiding for a week, or Necrozma who you knew you were going to have to grind the next day for the fusion energy. Anywho, felt it was worth the money and had fun with my son. If you can get to a City event though, make the effort, a great memory for my son and I.
I got a few Necrozmas but it was so hot my phone actually shut down so I'm not too disappointed it was a so/so Go Fest.
It's kinda strange how something totally random like the weather can effect your ability to take full advantage of some of these events.
Instead of useless stickers and backgrounds - they could work on the game over heating phones or glitches
Agree, the heat this year was making me wonder why they have done Go Fest NYC in July (I live in NY so I'm lucky to go). We left early because I was about to get heat stroke. For Global, I know not everyone is in the northern hemisphere, but we are are kinda running out of places in the US where I want to be outside in the summer
the title speaks for itself
Man, this sounds like a real WOMP WOMP... I see so many creators with such high expectations for this global go fest. I feel like all of them, going to multiple in person ones, really ruin it for themselves. You got 2 new incredibly op pokemon with unique mechanics and effects (albeit the sun/moon incense are a little underwhelming), Beast balls making everything super easy to catch, new background chase pokemon for collectors, and shiny rates increased... A shiny is still a shiny. I still get excited even if i caught it beforehand (and I've been a long-time player). Complaining about Jangmo-o being the only chase shiny when every year there has always been a chase dragon shiny for these... Deino, Gibble, and axew, to name a few. If you care so much about them being new and exciting, then dont go to the other events? Now, dont get me wrong, i don't see a problem with them trying to mix stuff up to keep things fresh, but just go out and have fun. If you keep yourselves hyper fixed on this stuff, it will only ruin your experiences.
I got my first Shundo during this go fest, it was the second to last necrozma raid I did and it is a Xxl , I started freaking out and got a lot of strange looks from the other people at the park
That is super rare!!! I'm pretty jealous 😭😅 congrats!!!
@@TrashPanda12 thanks, I still can’t believe it honestly, I fused him with solgalao and now he’s and perfect pink lion 😁
@@KingWizard1104does it have the background ?
@@lawz0 sadly no , but I did get a 15 14 14 with it
I enjoyed Go Fest because of the Beast Balls, you can easily farm for Necrozma candies because of its high catch rate
If only other events, including raid hours, had those insane catch rates. It just saves a lot of time to do as many raids in a short time span. The only problem, is that they didn't even bother to make remote raid passes cheaper. With the old prices, of 250 coins for 3 remotes, anyone would be able to do twice the amount of raids.
Yes very true
I had some fun this GO Fest, but this was my worst one by far, and I've been playing global GO Fests since the one in 2020. At least day 1 was unfun, I had more fun on day 2.
What I personally liked were the spawns during each habitat, as a lot of Pokemon that spawned had Shinies I adore (Golett, Phantump and Rockruff to name a few). The raids themselves were also pretty good, you basically had a lot of options for what you could battle.
The part of GO Fest I hated the most isn't really the gameplay itself but the friend I took with me who turned out to have been like a mosquito flying near my ear. He wouldn't shut up about how poorly I did, would make a mockery of me in front of others, saying stuff like "Oh, uhh, did you know those Necrozmas can have backgrounds??" or "Did you know some Necrozmas are actually blue??" and whenever I got a Shiny he didn't have and/or wanted really bad he'd say it was "undeserved" and that I should even it out by either giving it to him or transfering it.
Sounds like a skill issue on my part, I know, but it's like having a mosquito flying near your ear when you're trying to sleep. He was being ironic and an asshole on purpose, but the joke stopped being funny after 30 minutes and he wouldn't stop even after I made it obvious I was sick of it.
BUT other than having to tolerate an annoying friend, what I really disliked about GO Fest were how they handled raids on day 2 and Unown. These alphabet pricks would spawn constantly on day 1 and never be shiny. I haven't gotten a Shiny Unown since 2020 and seeing Unown nowadays feels a little boring to me because I already know it's not going to be Shiny. As for the day 2 raids, I really disliked the lack of variety AND the fact you got so little energy. If you weren't planning on spending money that day or didn't have extra premium passes, you were basically fucked in terms of fusing Necrozma. Yes, the special research gave a 1000 of whatever energy you picked, but it still feels like Niantic trying to be generous but coming off as fake and dishonest.
TL;DR - spawns and day 1 raids good. unown, day 2 raids and an insufferable friend bad.
I'm sorry about your friend. People like that need friends that will be completely honest with them about their behavior. My friends were the ones who got me to realize that there was something mentally wrong with me. Turns out I was bipolar. Now I'm on meds and a lot more tolerable to be around. Waaay less negative and all that. Maybe your friend needs that. I'm not sure. Just outside looking in. I do hope the rest of your experience was good.
one of my friends just had to keep bragging to me about getting a shiny necrozma first raid meanwhile i was struggling on day 2 in the rain running around my small area with a few gyms - i didn’t get a shiny
@@TrashPanda12 It ain't that my friend's got something up with his head, he was just an asshole and I made it clear to him that if he didn't stop I just wouldn't participate in the next GO Fest with him (and he might as well need a taste of his own medicine to know how that feels). But either way, I'm glad you're fine now with your bipolar stuff. The rest of my experience was fine, nothing spectacular but I had some fun moments.
I had an amazing time! My community really enjoyed it too; everyone came out and socialized. About 100 players enjoyed the great weather. I caught lots of shinies and even got a hundo Necrozma after about 50 raids! 🎉 Noticed on Sunday that I should have raided more Ultra Beasts on Saturday. 😅
Worst “raid weekend” ever. Did double my mates raids and got absolutely nothing while they sat with shundos 😭
I got 12 shiny necrozma your just unlucky :)
RIPPPP but that be RNG sometimes
I played for like 18 hours in two days and spent like 80$ total.(gas, passes, parking, incubators, tickets) Was worth it for me but was very pay to win in general, which I didnt like.
I had a lot of fun but maybe it's because it was my first go-fest with my kiddo (he got his first phone a little over a month ago) so I'm a bit biased. I really enjoyed myself with it. Using Palkia with the radius rend was amazing and helped me catch a ton of shinies!
Glad you had a good time - at the end of the day thats GO Fest everyone has a different experience
Yeah but they didn't announce two important details: Event Spawns after 6 PM if you did routes and exclusive moves. They didnt announce this anywhere.
This was the first fest/tour event I played as a F2P player. I don't feel like I missed out at all.
27:07
Ha, I actually needed the effect as soon as I got one :D
They made Umbreon's Last Resort able to get during the event. I had walked one in the past but I never evolved it in case they bought the move back.... and the bonus (getting the special move) ended at 6PM so i had to use the Night effect to evolve Umbreon and get Last resort
Haha true actually good point
Hello! I bought the Ticket and I'm a relatively new returning player. I thought the fest would have been more than what it was, but I was quite upset finding out that the whole event is timed from 10am - 6pm est. For only two days? We should have been given the full 48 global hours. The $20 is not worth it, I had work on both days. And I only got a measly 4 hours of playtime without having to force myself to play the game afterwards like its a job.
I was pissed when I seen it stopped at 6! People have jobs and work! It should have been an all day and all night thing like you said! It shouldn’t have ended at 6!
I'm glad people see this and it's not just me. They even had timed specific captures for the day and evening cycle. Why not just commit and do the full 48? Niantic pulls out all the stops to suck the wallet out of us.
This event was announced months in advance..... Including the hours you get to play. Why buy the ticket, if you have to work? Makes no sense tbh.
@@MrTheMorrissnot everyone has jobs that offer pto. I'm a gaming addict and I don't even take off work for games. Not everyone is 12 with access to daddy's wallet.
What's dumber? Buying a ticket for a global event that advertised itself as a two day event. Or the event itself only being 8 hours long per day.
My local community slowly has been increasing with limits on remote raids. Unlimited remote raids bring less people out, which put other users in a position of not being able to raid in-person / having to buy remote raids.
I think to keep some sort of balance, if Niantic was to increase or remove limit, they should increase the price again. You're paying a premium to not go out. I drive twenty minutes (one way) to meetup each week with my local group. Last week with raid hour every day + 2 days of global was 7 hours of just driving for in person events...
As someone who quit for 3-4 years, and only recently returned a few months back, I honestly had a BLAST! My shiny luck was nuts, (40+ in 2 days, but 80% of them came on day 2 which was odd, day 1 had me worried) Now is this a realistic view that most players will share? Probably not. You bring up great points about "repeat" or "Com Day" mons. I personally LOVED catching up on all the stuff I missed, but I could 100% see why it would be lame for players who never stopped grinding over the years.. There very much should be more balance (Maybe add an extra release Mon/shinies for global? idk..) It was also heart breaking to see so many people around me have lousy luck.. But that's just RNG Sometimes right? I think the slow drip of things like releases/shinies are always going to make people who grind feel punished/bored during repeats, and those who take breaks rewarded when they return, which is a slippery slope imo. I think balance is one of the hardest things in any game, because regardless of what drops you will alienate some kind of player base. But there has to be some sort of better system than what we have right now. I also get Free to Play v.s Pay to play players had a DRASTICALLY different experience. I know that if you dump money into this game, you will always be ahead.. But I don't think it's fair that most free players weren't able to grind a necrozma (because of fusion energy etc.) unless they hoarded passes from their 50 coins from gyms for months.. Anyways I just wrote a novel by accident, thanks for your continued content. Be safe out there!
Yeah. Even Santa Monica was pretty chill. Just people playing. No running, no screaming, just meh
This was my first go fest and as a free to play player I felt really let down. I could only participate in 3 raids.😢
I really hate elite raids. But even elite raids shiny odds were a LOT better than Necrozma and the other ultra beast shiny odds
I come back and forth to the game. For content creators, like I used to be when I streamed it back in the day, it's one thing, but for myself? I don't feel the repetition because I do other things, play other games, etc. Sometimes I miss events. I spend money on the game around events and during certain times where there are things I really want. Still plenty of content for me to consume and I've always looked at the game as a marathon and every time I come back and do events I'm excited and have a blast.
Thanks for the perspective
Thanks for the informative videos my guy.
I only got one shiny for both days…
They were not transparent on the exclusive moves. They enabled them on the second day I believe for us in Australia? I thought it would be available when the in game Go Fest event timer in the field research tab until the timer finished as I was able to evolve some Pokémon til about 9-10pm on the Sunday.
this is so annyoing
so frustrating!!
I enjoyed go fest but I just think it should’ve been more accessible the free to play players because during the ultra beast event we got more free raid passes so I went into go fest assuming go fest would have more free raid passes and wasted my only one on a jangmo-o. So I feel we should’ve kept the extra raid passes through go fest to.
Literally my first Go Fest as far as I can remember. I played PoGo consistent from 2016 to the end of 2019, off and on in 2020 and barely touched the game until June 14th of this year. Decided to pay for the ticket cause Marshadow is one of my favorite pokemon. Day 1 was me coming back from a trip so I was in an airport, caught a few shinys but really just wanted the Marshadow out the way. Day 1 got the research done and 9 shinys but I was dealing with a long flight so couldn’t play much. Day 2 it was just raids, local community showed up. My brother and I found a spot with 3 gyms back to back to back, knocked out 20 raids with ease. Everybody in their car cause it was hot but at its peak we had 17 local during the raids. Got all the fusion I needed for both, 11 shinys including one Necrozma and I had fun. Im burnt out on Pogo tho. Ill let the GPS drift at my job hatch eggs for me cause I was in the car 98% of the time 💀.
Side note: I had hella raid passes, lucky eggs, star pieces and incenses because I had so much unfinished research from not playing consistent throughout the last few years and they were just sitting in my inventory lol.
This year i got a TON of wild shinies (over 100) but only 2 shiny necrozma in the last hour of raiding but i did around 60 raids. Im glad I got to finally get shiny charizard but im surprised I didn't get more shiny necrozmas
I got 4 shinies last year without a ticket and 5 shinies this year with a ticket. I got the ticket specifically to get more shinies, never again.
Damn, cuz I got 37 shinies and just walked around me neighborhood
Can’t relate 90 shinys🤡
u must of not played much
I did NOT see or know about the comm day moves for some of those Pokemon being available... I would have evolved like 9 or 10 if I had seen that. I did my research and prep work days in advance so I wouldn't have to scramble and read new items while trying to catch Pokemon. This is so frustrating that I missed that, just because they didn't deem us worthy of knowing that.
18:53 "You're allowed to like something and still have criticism about it." THANK YOU!!! 🙏🙏🙏 When people don't get this it drives me crazy.
best one for me! got 2 hundos necrozmas and most of all the shinies that i wanted. but shiny rates for ultra beasts were rough!
It was so bad ngl. I got one single shiny. And why weren't legendaries spawning in the wild. Raids were terrible cause you had to have money for them and why would they cost 1,000 things to change form.
Legendaries in the wild only happen with the go tour, never with the go fest
@@anterosauditore5850 last year the lake trio spawned for go fest
@@anterosauditore5850they randomly happen as well. I swear I caught an azelf in the wild a few months ago. Waaay after sinnoh tour. No events were happening other then the ones like shared skies etc. It was just a random week day.
@@TrashPanda12if u didnt know, azelf is THE rarest wild spawn. I heard there are only like a few of them in north america at one given time
You gotta be joking. There's no way I got that lucky. If this is true then I feel a lot better about it.
The bad part of the ticket research is you need to not fuse for the last page.
The fact that the 2X Catch Stardust, XP, and Candy was not present at all during Day 2 of this Go Fest as well as no announcement of the special moves are very silly mistakes, and some easy things that Niantic easily could have avoided. If I were to rank the Global Go Fests, 2021 and 2020 are 1st and 2nd by a wide margin. The 2022 one was undoubtedly the worst. I remember the Shiny Rates being atrocious that year. I would rank 2024 right in the middle, barely above 2023. What made me make this decision was the fact that we just had Primal Kyogre and Groudon 6 months earlier in Hoenn Tour. Plus, they as well as Mega Rayquaza were very hard to catch, since they were Primal/6 Star Mega Raids, you would get like 6-10 Premier Balls to catch them, and no Master Ball to guarantee a Hundo back then. This year, since we had Beast Balls, we wouldn't waste too much time trying to catch the Ultra Beast after defeating it, plus it allowed us to use Pinap/Silver Pinaps on them, allowing for an easier more profitable catch.
The Beast Balls made it great for raids. But not a shiny off them raids. But I got 5 shiny Pokémon walking around my area roads since park closed and I don't drive.
I really enjoyed GoFest. Got the special background for most of the UBs, 53 shines; including both Pikachus and Necrozma, a shundo, caught over 1000 mon the first day, hatched a ton of eggs, and walked over 10 miles each day.
Special Background were really cool
Am I alone in thinking it was the best yet? The whole raid week leading up to go fest was incredible! And then go fest itself was pure fun in my opinion. I got a ton of shinies that I needed, I raided nonstop, got a cool Solgaleo, a cosmog, a marshadow, enough candies and energy to max out 4 fused necrozmas, shiny ultra beasts, etc. idk maybe it’s just me but that event was perfect.
Hmm. I'm probably an outlier, but I had a blast. Probably the most fun I've had since the melodia one in 2020-2021? I feel like the shinies were boosted (ticket holder) and more folks were out so it was actually fun to raid. I ended up with nearly 60 shinies (full grind on sat, then just a half day on Sunday). I got all the shinies I was aiming for so I had no complaints. The only con for me was the heat, it made walking around kinda awful.
That said, it still felt half done. The thing I loved about the melodia go fest is how they created a theme around music and had two really fun angles with rock and pop star paths. They also picked fun costumed pokemon that supported the theme.
If they went harder into the theme of sun and moon and had more storied paths I think it would have been more fun. Like if you went for moon, you got a moon pose and a special dark Pikachu. Also for moon ticket holders they could have recycled the aurora sky they had a few years ago and had a lullaby. Maybe also keep the entire weekend as night mode so moon people could Evo night specific mons easier. And the opposite for sun. That said, this go fest was better than the last 2.
All Pokémon go player s do is complain. No wonder niantic never listens when it’s something we care about. We needa pick our battles
I usually get around 50 shiny/go fest this time only 30, preety bad ngl
This is just % chance ;)
I got 1 in the wild and 1 from a raid, but only checked 200 so maybe is because of that
@@wiktolego I know buy every go fest i get around 50 and playing 16 hours in total just to get 35 shiny and wasting 70 raid pass for 1 shiny necrozma so yeahh...

@@kja1217 1/50 is bad too :(
I just wonder when we’ll get the other Rotom forms globally except for Wash Rotom that released globally during Go Fest 2020
Global Go Fest is definitely the watered-down version of the in-person Go Fest. The NY Go Fest had much better spawns and the shiny rates seem to have been higher, at least for me. You also got to meet people from all over the country who are super passionate about the game. They made the trip to the host city to play the game. Those interactions were really nice. You think you really like the game and everything and then you meet someone from Texas or the West Coast who made the trip all the way to NY to play the game. Just picture that for a moment. There's also a special feeling being in the host city for Go Fest. Global Go Fest is just another day with slightly better spawns than normal. It doesn't feel special. It's only the local communities. Global Go Fest is a big L. Shiny Xurk being available for only ONE DAY during Global Go Fest (on Saturday) was a JOKE!
I did 58 raids and I didn't even get a shiny Necrozma. Honestly, It was my first go-gest and it went terrible.
I mean you’re not guaranteed to get the shiny, it’s just based on luck
@@jmoriarty8000it's pokemons terrible RNG that they refuse to do anything about. I did probably about 20 raids and got 2 shinies. Before that I have been raiding and raiding. Even found an app that would help me raid. No shiny luck. I quit spending money for a while and quit playing. Now that I'm back into it I've had much better luck and I'm not spending near as much. They want my money again so they are giving me shinies. They know who's pay to play and who's not. The pokemon company has always been about exclusivity. Holding events in countries they know most normal people can't afford to go to. Kansas city is the heart of America and not once has their been an event in my city. But vegas and new york which are cess pools get all the good stuff.
@@jmoriarty8000bro with boosted odds??? that’s just not it. they need to do a necrozma makeup event
@@OofaPoof they wont
got mine on 46
DANG IT!!! I wish I knew about the evolution for Legacy moves!!!
Don't we all
Not many can go to the go fest in Sendai, Madrid or New York. so its not a repeat for many of us who couldn't go to those GO fests. The Global one was pretty fun for us.
I think a cool idea would be to have surprise 5 minute or so bonuses where all of one generation’s shinies appear, or 10x stardust, or shiny odds change to 1:4, etc. Throw in something to liven the day up rather than just walk and grind.
The other thing that makes these events better is the community. If you don’t meet new people, you’ve missed the point of a Festival or a Community Day. I joined a party on day 2 with 3 people I’ve never met in person. We took off on a couple of routes, stopped for food, ice cream, and helped each other complete research. I look forward to seeing them on Rayquaza make-up day!
I want to bring up the time of year they chose to do this. It was sooo hot!
Yep. I was driving around in my car posting raids for Poké-genie.
I dropped $10 for coins to buy raid passes and then when I saw how little energy I could get I spent another $10. Ran out of time, weather was too hot and went home. Not enough energy for either fusion. Oh well, maybe next year. Definitely kicking myself for not just buying the $15 ticket, would have been less of a ripoff.
someone already said it but beast balls carried this event lol
I hate grinding raids. Because in reality what they looks like is slowly migrating from gym to gym with a massive slow group. I barely walked 3km on Sunday because I had to stick with the group or else I can’t do the raids but myself. I much prefer when there’s more gamification and fun mechanics to do.
I also don’t agree about the unlimited remote raids… then entire point of the game is to go outside and play the game. You shouldn’t be able to play the entire game on your couch. If that’s what you want, play the console games.
"please dont read it" *goes back to pause* xD
This go fest was really good. I played it more than any other go fest so far.
Yeah, 20 shinies, 4 legendaries and 1 hundo from just the Ticketed Global alone!
This was my least played. Heat played a big part in it but I played around 4 hours on Sunday and it was trash with the ticket. Not enough spawn honestly felt like a regular day, and I only got 2 shinies
Glad you had a good time!
Worst Go Fest I've ever played 🤡🤦🏻♂️
Fusion energy was basically like mega energy, there’s no reason Niantic couldn’t have made the fusion cost 400-600 energy each when they effectively made it cost 800 (IF you found and used the codes) forcing you to spend all day raiding the same bosses over and over again
As someone who also played the in person Go-fests I felt like I could have saved a lot of money by just playing one day of an in person and trying for the unown ? shiny and the Eevee’s and then got the rest at global. To me spawns seemed just as boosted at global as in person this year.
I hope they listen to the community and we get some kind of compensation like the squirtle community day a few years ago
81 raids. 6 shiny, 1 98%, 1 100% necrozmas. No go fest ticket. One of the best go fest I’ve ever played. Unlimited remote raids was amazing like the good old days.2 days seeing everyone downtown raiding and grinding in 100+ degree weather was special to see all the die hards.
Damn, you earned and saved 15,000 coins? That's actually crazy.
My final comment: I know play rate has dropped off recently, and niantic needs to bring something in to keep players and bring people back. I really like the old timed research for the masterball. It was challenging and really made me think about the game. My wife and I were engaged and enjoyed the experience. I think Niantic should do a timed research to prepare for Go Fest, with big rewards like increased storage space, incubators, and raid passes. Something to really get people hyped and prepared.
I’d love for you to design your own go fest 2 day event, pick one major release for the “poster Mon” of the event like mega meets x or Y. Add some spawns and maybe some legacy moves, pick a costume Pokémon or returning costumes to get, I’d love to hear what you come up with.
For me I’d go
Special research that gives one more Mythical encounter with ALL previous encounters, yeah at the end of each page you get to encounter Mew, Zarude, Melmetal(why not?), forget the name but the fighting type horse that was pay to catch, celebe, jirachii, all of them. Plus a paid version that gives you one encounter with everything that has an adventure effect. And they of course 100% will have the move. The origin dragons with their moves, necrozma fusions, I’m assuming we will get more tbh.
Raids will be focused on the trios, hour 1 will be birds, then the beasts, then the Reggie’s, then the lake trios, then the swords of justice, ALL with legacy moves.
Costumes will be based on evolution pokemon and not only in 3 star raids they have a chance to spawn on your incense, they are
Dragonnite with sunglasses, Blastoise with sunglasses, give venosour a top hat, give charizard a funky neck tie, gengar with a gofest t shirt on, bring back all previous eeveevolutions that have costumes, add some to the ones that don’t.
And as a goble challenge it could be catch an amount of incense Pokemon and it could unlock a special research with one encounter each, the freakin Clones, clone pikachu, clone venosour, clone charizard, clone Blastoise.
After catching the clones day 2 could have mewtwo saying “fine I’ll do it myself” and have mewtwo spawning with the armour on in 5 star raids.
As far as wild spawns each hour would have 1 of the following in every habitat. 1 pseudo legendary Pokémon (like larvitar, beldum, bagon) they will have 1 PVP focused Pokémon (like mankey for anihailape, magikarp for gyrados, sandsrew for alohan sand slash. Also have 1 “just cool shiny” (like, gligar, psyduck) also have one Pokémon that when evolved that can mega evolve (like onix, or a starter, or gible, or Abbra) and 1 Pokémon that is 400 candies to evolve.
What do y’all think?
This felt like a 16 hour scam. I got ZERO shinies. Ive NEVER gone to the places i went on a regular day for a fraction of that time and went home with nothing. I cant believe this.. feel like i was punished for not buying a ticket
My husband feels the same way. I didn’t buy the ticket either, but I did get some dope shinies that I didn’t have. Maybe that’s because I bought some poke coins for incense. My shiny rates dramatically increase when I spend actual money and I have proved that theory time and time again.
@@The_Cherokee_GypsyI hear you and see you. I've been testing this theory. I quit playing and spending money and I started complaining (phones listen) about never getting shinies or anything good and I'm about to delete the game. Started playing again but not spending as much. Started getting shinies. I think that's them trying to reel me back in.
Damn rip bro sorry
Your wrong the event was perfect because it had caseoh in raids
As f2p player, I was disappointed. No shiny boost, no regional in 7km eggs, no timed research or collection challenge. Unlimited remote raid helped, especially as rural player. Definitely p2w, or pay to be "included".
another giant con from this go fest was Niantic just deciding to make some pokemon really rare and you would never see them in the wild: Heatmor, Jangmo-o, Carbink. They promoted them as spawns only for players to almost never see them.
The last 2 years Axew and Goomy were the new shinies yet they were not hard to find when their habitat was rotating, you just needed to keep playing and hope to find the shiny in the wild while this year you would see 1-2 Jangmo-o per hour if you were lucky and if you really wanted that shiny you would need to do raids if you didn’t get really lucky.
First go fest i ever had😂
Same
I'd say I feel sorry, but at least you didnt have expectations like we all did
@@NeCoruption e
no i got my 2 shiny phantumps thats all i even cared about even tho i got 5 shiny necros lmao
It took my 56 raids for 1 shiny necrozma
A weather adventure effect like snow where it never snows would be amazing, especially during a steel event.
Look honestly despite the fact that yes the go fest formula isnt as exciting with the repetition of the hourly spawns etc. I think this go fest was quite a step-up in some aspects, something Ive never been a fan of for go fest (or the Region Tours) is how extremely overwhelming the events is despite the fact its spread out over two days. There's always so many raids spawns, research and other things that make balancing certain aspects of pogo impossible to do. So I think the ultra beast raid week before the go fest is quite good, so players can do it over the week and then when the global go fest happens they can at least have a more relaxed experience with the raids, even when something new like necrozma is released over the weekend. (And I do agree some of the recycling of raids was a bit boring.) Another thing I enjoy is how this global go fest had bonuses that could rival the in-person go fest events, I think the bonus of the 7km eggs to trainers who had already bought the ticket a week before were also quite good as it allowed trainers to hatch some shinnies before go fest, however, the raid bonuses from the ultra beast raid week ticket should of been included with the 7km egg bonuses since we essentially had to buy two tickets. (And thats disregarding that hatching eggs are very expensive.) So people who are unable to travel get an experience that is similar to the in-person go fests, since I personally think they are quite good or even over-powered in comparison to the global events. Which ultimately gave a more relaxing but still fun event. In saying that, I feel and agree that there should of been a new shiny (or shinnies) alongside jangmo-o, and the other shinnies released for the in-person events weren't the best IMO. As well as the adventure effects not being great, which I do feel like it'd be hard to top off in comparison to Origin palkia/dialga, which is probably why they only realeased the new adventure effects into global go fest. So they didnt release something super disappointing before the whole world got to use it lol.
