Last minute The world stood up after Putins decision in

On July 9th and 10th, the Battle Weekend took place in Pokémon GO. The event brought a special research, rocket battles and bonuses in the battle league, among other things. For some players, however, that was too much at once. They would have liked a separation over two weekends.

What was that event? The fight weekend had a lot to offer:

  • For fans of Cryptos, there were four new Pokémon as well as battles against Team GO Rocket and special research on Giovanni.
  • PvP players got 20 Battle Sets per day, more Stardust, and a chance at Legendary Pokémon.
  • There was one additional free Raid Pass per day, double Raid XP, and special event attacks.

    • This list alone reads like an event that could easily have been divided into three weekends. This is exactly what is being criticized in reddit. There was so much to do that some couldn’t make up their minds or couldn’t achieve all of the goals set.

    “The event should have been split over two weekends”

    What are the players saying? In reddit, the user pryon-i opened the discussion about the fight weekend. He was overwhelmed with the multitude of tasks. Above all, he would have preferred to see the event developments on a separate day. He actually wanted to get a Charizard with Blaze Cannonade, but couldn’t get it due to the different content.

    The user is not alone with this opinion. His thread got over 900 upvotes and a lot of approval:

  • AOMax agrees with the thread creator: “Absolutely. The most boring events sometimes last 10-14 days while bringing that much content in just one weekend. To be honest, that’s just disappointing.”
  • Zomino2000 is also dissatisfied: “It’s either progressing super slowly or you get everything in far too short a time. It reminds me why I’m getting tired of the game.”
  • TopAcanthocephala also criticizes Niantic’s organization: “It was incredibly overwhelming, especially because I had to constantly check secondary sources due to Niantic’s abysmal in-game communication. The PoGo editors take so much work off Niantic’s shoulders. I don’t play many other games with a live player base, but I can’t imagine them all having to rely so heavily on third-party charts and explanations.”

    • pryon-i also sees a problem in the PvP content that hardly anyone was able to use at this event:

    Her [Niantics] Communication is always about how to get more people into PvP. Definitely not that way.

    What would have been the solution? Extend the event or spread the content over two weekends. However, the event calendar for July is already very full:

    Are there any dissenting voices? isolated.

  • User ImChillingInReddit says he enjoyed another busy weekend.
  • Swanny246 also liked the event because it prevented players from burning out in content. If you didn’t feel like catching or developing anymore, you could go into raids or PvP.

    • What do you say about the event? Was it too much for you too or did you just browse the weekend? Feel free to write it in the comments.
