It has "catch/evolve X or Y" at a bunch of different stages, and unless you ran through it very very fast you end up stuck on Task pages for things that are barely spawning in. Yeah, they upped the spawn rate of all those things for a window of time, and yeah they had some quests that lent themselves towards some of them as well, but unless you could dedicate all the time necessary before they unflipped those switches you are just SoL. Page 3 has "Catch a Ditto". Which was the reward for the "Let's go: make an excellent throw" task, but unless you knew that and you saved one of those reward turn ins you are stuck waiting for an actual ditto which could take days or weeks. Page 4 has "catch 5 steel type", which depending on where you live is freaking awful. Yeah they had magnemite's encounter rate turned up, but if you didn't get to this page until later on, you will be stuck on this one for a long time as well. Page 5 has evolve a grimer, and the evolve ones are generally terrible. If I have a perfect or near perfect IV grimer, chances are I already turned it into a Muk. And so now I have to catch enough other grimers, to evolve a presumably shitty IV'd one into a Muk just for the pleasure of wasting 50 candy. This page also has "Catch 5 Gulpin or Slugma". Gulpin encounter rate was sky high, but again, if you get to this page later, you are pretty SoL. Slugma is rather uncommon and except for the event spawning I don't think I've seen a wild Gulpin. Page 6 has evolve a magnemite, which is the same complaint as the evolve a grimer one. I don't WANT to waste 50 candy evolving a shitty magnemite That's 13 catch+release of a relatively rare pokemon. Why can't there just be a "Show the Professor your Magneton" button and have that count the same? See, look, here is my 98% IV magneton I made forever ago, and that should count! This page also has catch 5 exeggcute. And this is where I've been stuck. I got to this page the last day of the altered spawn rates, and I caught 4 exeggcute. I am still at 4/5. But even when I get PAST this page, because one will show up eventually, there is no end in fucking sight. Page 7: Evolve 1 Drowzee Catch 1 Cubone Evolve 1 Scyther Same complaint for the evolving. I don't even have a good scyther in my possession currently. I barely have 40 scyther candy so i'm currently walking the shitty scyther I do have so when I reach this page I'll be able to spend ALL my candy to make a badly statted Scizor. Standard evolution complaint for drowzee as well, but at least I have a few hundred of those candy so it wont be as bad. Page 8: And the crap cherry on top of the crap sundae. Catch 2 Omanyte or Kabuto Catch 2 Lileep or Anorith Catch an Aerodactyl Like, fucking WHAT? Of this page Omanyte and Kabuto will actually be the easiest, because there is a random spot in town where water types spawn in for seemingly no reason. There is no discernible body of water causing it, it just happens and always has, so I can spend a few hours there until the omanye and kabuto spawn. But Lileep? I never see them. Anorith? I never see them. Aerodactyl? I fucking NEVER see them. When I even get to this page I'm going to be stuck here for actually MONTHS. And yes, all of these things spawned in regularly enough during the event. And Aerodactyl was one of the encounters for a field quest, but you had to know which one and you had to save the encounter knowing that you would need it. This is the most absurd of all the special research. </rant> --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
