Current Events > Niantic is raising Pokemon Go remote raid pass prices.

(+) Yeah! (+)

The 3 pack is going to be 525 coins.
The single is increased to 195 coins.
Limited to 5 Remote Raids a day.

Better buy some now then before the price hike takes effect.

I havent played Go since 2016. What's it like now?

I think it's a great experience, however there is one thing they never fixed. Setting up raids with friends on your list is basically impossible. You can invite them to a raid sure, but you don't know if they are ready or if they want to do a raid. You have to rely on third party apps and knowing the people in person.

Lmfao holy shit I remember this leaked a month or two ago and it was thought to be 150. Making it 195 is fucking hilarious.

Silver lining is being able to get one from the 7 day field research bits but yeah. This is hard to defend.

I thought everyone stopped playing after da initial two weeks lol,dose were da best days ever tbh

Best days were all the days after the first two weeks.

They should Pokemon Go fuck themselves.

I started playing when they announced Meltan. The game grew on me.

Also reddit is saying April 6th is the worldwide uninstall day to protest.

Normally I lol at protests, but they got Niantic to revert the double pokestop distance, so it's possible this works, but far less likely given there's actual money tied to this.

Double distance was just an easy fix that didnt cost them anything.

Apparently they make more money farming your location data anyways so there's little reason for them to revert this unless the mass uninstall actually sends a message.

i'll uninstall. actually going to reinstall then uninstall.
followed by leaving a 1* rating (would give 0 if i could)

then reason: they raised remote raid prices not cool.

150 is probably where they're going to walk them back to, to show "they're listening"

Fuck, so those leaks from a while back were true.

This will also kill the remote raid apps.

Niantic really doesn't know what they're doing with this game.

They are trying to kill remote raiding to get people out in the world scanning as much data as possible for them to sell to the government to use.

These changes are designed to rebalance the game and ensure its enjoyed by Trainers for years to come.

...How, you motherfuckers?

Since their introduction in 2020, Remote Raid Passes have come to dominate the experience of playing Pokmon GO in a way we never intended. Rewarding Trainers with additional Candy XL and adding other new features are two of the ways we hope to further incentivize playing Pokmon GO in person with your friends, family, and community.

We plan to keep Remote Raid Passes as part of Pokmon GO. However, we believe this change is necessary for the long-term health of the game, and we do not make it lightly. We feel this is a necessary step toward our goal of preserving and improving the unique experience of playing Pokmon GOa game we hope you continue to enjoy long into the future.

Jesus Christ, they really are tonedeaf.

And they still think that every city or neighborhood has a Pokemon GO community at its beck-and-call.

Actually, I feel that it might be time to start moving my best Pokemon from GO over to HOME, and then quitting this game. Of course, due to the asinine HOME transfer costs and limitations, it'll take me a long time to transfer over every Pokemon that I want to.

I haven't opened the game in like a month. Guess I'll just delete it again and check back in a couple years.

Probably not. I don't actually care that much or spend money on the game, but I'm interested in how this unfolds.

Facts lmfao hahahha

It's still going on?

Niantic has always been a bumbling mess of a developer that honestly probably wouldn't still be in business today if they didn't luck out with the& Pokmon license.
