EXCITING OR DISAPPOINTING? Pokémon GO New Years 2025 Event Explained!

[@huyiii2435]

I think the rarest pickachu is one without a costume

[@TwiceSmittenOnceShy]

*whew* All these events have The Count working overtime!

[@TempWynn]

Yea I’m not paying for this there’s no point to me🤦🏽‍♀️

[@mrmoose6619]

Pass on the ticketing... will play only for the Collections Challenges. Two extremely mediocre events in a row to end 2024. Sad.

[@leeroy8936]

Pikachu in a hat/costume is NOT an incentive.

[@Bradseih]

I think its not just the paid timed researches. Its also scheduling a lot of high value raids back to back. Like kyogre, groudon, zacian, necrozma, shiny latio/latias, giratina. Its really getting people to buy a lot of raid passes

[@ItzMiKeKirbY]

It’s a whole lot of nothing for two days. The real kicker here is Niantic asking for money (again).

[@CountJinsulaOfficial]

Yup spend time with family and friends. Niantic is giving us a gift of no-FOMO

[@doublecomplex4741]

Boring, but at least there’s not a new costumed pokemon! 😂

[@The_Cherokee_Gypsy]

Nope. I agree with you. Me and my husband also have noticed if we buy the tickets our shiny encounters are boosted, and if we don’t buy the ticket, we don’t get a shiny for the week even in the wild.😂

[@ecornely]

Niantic should give some free content that maintain players active and let us enjoy the game and they can add paid research. I would be quite happy to have more special research and especially would be ready to pay for interesting prizes like rare candy XL or encounter with pokemon that are rarely met (and that I need to complete my pokedex like the 3 legendary beasts)

[@TreFKennedy]

Dope vid Count

[@epicdave6130]

no new custom pokemon is a good thing my guy the game has too many

[@kukumalu255]

When was that pikachu available?

[@yokaibyte2133]

Skip.

[@johnysac420]

Transferring any or all of these pokemon when the go plus plus catches them

[@tickiti]

The funny part is that even people who pay for the event most of the time they don’t even get the most of it and I’m always lmao 🤣🤣🤣 I have a handful of friends who always said I’m done with Niantic, guess what they always fall for again, for me it was Riolu shiny debut, I spend about $50 buck on incubators 0 shiny Riolu, I have never spend any money on incubators, rain passes, CD tickets or anything other pay even, except for PoGoFest or Region Tours, I didn’t even paid for the Wild Area, I was missing just one shiny from the roster was not worth it, all my friends paid pure disappointment for them 🤣🤣🤣

[@TheGreenDragon419.9]

Other than collecting Stardust, sounds like fun.

[@leeroy8936]

Thats a fair argument, but my goal is to collect all the stardust i can. Im shooting for 22M by the end of the year. Still not paying for tickets though

[@heathstory9655]

I like costumes so I’m excited for this event

[@ThatGuy-cb3yv]

Game is too expensive and i stopped playing. Sorry i was still subscribed.

[@CountJinsulaOfficial]

I don't blame you. The game is all about pay pay pay and it's lame

[@Weexatm]

A lot of people feel this way and sadly the game is declining bad rn, still gonna be players but not really sure how long it will last if they keep pushing paid bs and their approach to their players

[@unichromeirl4453]

Started the game in October and not knowledgeable of pokemon, been really enjoying getting out and collecting and also I've been to a couple of in person events now too with campfire groups in nearby places. I haven't seen what it was like before but coming in as a new player a lot of these paid items are ignorable, i havent been tempted at all. I'd never heard of necrozma until the recent even and having the amount of tickets to raid with was still great, enjoyed it so much with people. In comparison having tried and failed 3 times in catching latios I'd never pay for any of the passes, its actually more stressful than enjoyable, it was great getting latios down but I didnt get the catch. Chill out on the negative stuff

[@pambulama973]

Soooo disappointing. We have all those costume Pokemon before some not just for New Year but also for the annual Pokemon anniversary. OG players would have most of these shinies already. I know I have them all so what am I supposed to chase. Even the paid research isn’t worth it for me either

[@carubnut]

I've never paid attention to the ending jingle, I guess it's ia generated? Anyone who speaks korean can translate the lyrics?

[@allwaysanimaze]

good point, need to have good content on both free to players and players who can pay the tickets it seems like niantic is testing out something, i noticed this when they introduce gigantimax, and unable to remote raid them and just like you said from your last video, if some how niantic have a good positive event like the necrozma usually it follows up with a so so event, however looking forward this January and the Go Tour still dont have reshiram and zekrom on my pokedex, hope for the best on 2025, in case that the go wild area is at Japan again in 2025, it will be a blast playing pokemon go in japan, hopefully not summer what i am hoping for, is decrease the rrp poke coins requirement and have it around 250-350 , increase the daily limit to 10-12 and allow it to be used on dynamax and gigantimax raid battles during a timed window during a 2 day event, so that those people who was work can also play the next day., a very good compromised but it will have longevity to the game and allow and introduce more new players to download the app. what do you think?

[@rqn1998]

Not interested in anything pay to win but appreciate remote passes are there for ppl that pay!

[@jonathanwilliams6922]

😎👍

[@Pawalunar]

Not great not bad

[@ymcavalier3555]

Sounds boring to me.

[@vinaypingu]

Tired of these Mega Latios and Latias Raid lol and we need EX-Raid Gyms back Niantic .

[@CountJinsulaOfficial]

I would rather have boring raids than ex raids. That system was horrible imo

[@vinaypingu]

@@CountJinsulaOfficial It was good according to me getting Ex raid invite pass for Deoxys raid before pandemic.

[@vatarants]

Is it so hard to create a new costume for them? Look at games like Overwatch Dota LoL PubG have pushed a lot of very nice costume into the game every season. Niantic should create a while department dedicated for this task. It should make a lot of money from ticket selling if they push out a cute and cool costume every event. It is not even appropriate to use recycle costumes in the game any more.

[@ricolee6773]

it looks like another costume thats locked behind 1 star raid (pikachu), ill just do my free one and done lol.. disappointing

[@smileyemory89]

Pogo family wats the best place to play in the Chi?

[@Royvankalken023]

Skip that event

[@harveyrottenberg8850]

I play everything no matter if it's a disappointment

[@mikeeberle8432]

thats a blah event lol will be a big pass.....

[@sriram151092]

Unsubscribing coz there is nothing to watch and enjoy from your content. Though you're reflecting community's views, Seeing you yap about the game in all your videos isn't very entertaining to watch. Edit : Yapping videos once in a while is okay to watch but not if the whole channel has become about it.
