Is GO Fest 2024 Worth it?

[@PoolKid75]

3:20 You kinda breezed past Maractus and Corsola without mentioning that they're Regional Pokemon that will be available worldwide for a limited time, and this is a good opportunity to grab them without needing to travel. That's much more significant than simply being "rare" like Vullaby and Rockruff.

[@MrWhitmen1981]

Makes my trip to cairns in North Queensland Australia feel redundant 😂

[@Ezanke11]

They most likely will get released globally at some point, jusy wait til an event or next years unova tour for mara tus

[@jakerz_ow]

its also great for people who have to get a platinum johto badge for the shiny celebi research that came out a few days ago if they dont have easy access to corsola, which is cool

[@PoolKid75]

@@Ezanke11 Corsola hasn't been released globally since Johto Tour in 2022.

[@hexx9065]

Yeah i need corsola for my johto badge so i will be getting that mf

[@travishomewood8657]

My main motivation is the extra raid passes, boosted shiny odds, and regionals. The corsola spawning off incense, and I need that shiny. Maractus shiny won't drop till Unova tour in feb, but I'm hoping the rockruff will be dusk form.

[@EkkoStump]

Lowkey think the big PokémonGo KZbinrs are getting out of touch with the general public of PoGo’ers… players who are level 48-50 and grind the game as much as Daxi it makes sense to not value the shiny boost but I know the majority of my community is looking forward to that bonus the most. Maybe these videos are made for a different audience nowadays but it’s hard to constantly hear the game is dying when it’s really just players burning out imo…

[@isaiahhall7434]

It's not like he said the shiny bonus was trash or anything, he mentioned it twice and said that may be a reason why you'd want to buy the ticket and implied if you aren't interested in the increased rates then that's one less reason to buy the ticket. He isn't getting out of touch with anything he talked about both sides of the bonus, if you value it and if you don't value it. I feel like your making it seem like he should conform to what you lower level players value when the whole point of the video is to give the overall facts of the entire event and give HIS opinion on it. He doesn't need to conform to what other players see as valuable to not he has his own ideals.

[@RyanMauer-g5j]

Dude this is the video I needed right now! I have been so on the fence about buying the ticket. I think I am going to use that money on remote passes as that is more my play style. Thank you!

[@Gokufan1godzilla.]

If you can have the upgraded shiny chance in raids, that might be worth it

[@StrYEETWizard911]

Looking back to last year all the ticketed features are the exact same as last year, so not sure why we’re thinking it’s going downhill

[@jeremydye8196]

Its not its worth it for me

[@sho829]

It's because niantic frequently screws up their events

[@LikeButton-]

I really bought it for most of the boosts like unknown spawns with incenses and increased shiny odds

[@jirchen]

thank you for validating my thoughts and reasons for not purchasing a ticket this year... this is from someone who has purchased tickets in recent years.

[@Mr._Beef]

From my understanding the fused necrozma raids are the only 5 star raid on Sunday correct?

[@Pnktnya]

yes

[@DurangedPitt]

The other bonus that might make it all worth is getting immediate access to whatever dusk form you chose versus starting with cosmog and having to grind candy to evolve into whichever you chose to fuse.

[@EquinoxPlays]

£14.99/$15 seems slightly steep for slightly better pixels, with pretty much the exact same bonus' as last year too. Only thing that would have tempted me would be the Marshaddow research, but since I disagree with Pokemon being behind a pay wall and since it will probably come free at some point, I will probably not be buying

[@FriedWafflez8208]

I bought it for corsica, which leaves smoochum as the only pokemon stopping me from a platinum johto medal

[@timothybarr8241]

I need so many it’s pitiful

[@Liam_pokemongo]

I have smoochum (:

[@arde29]

Unless they make Galarian Corsola a regional, you'd have gotten that dex entry upon its release within Gen 8

Relicanth is the only one I need to get all Hoenn Pokemon. But unfortunately this is an Alola event.

[@uselesscrappyvideos]

Got a few Smoochum I can happily trade with you if you want. I am in Melbourne.

[@RestIessGambIer]

Marshadow has been my favorite pokemon for YEARS, and no pokemon will ever be better than him, so this 15$ just for marshadow was extremely worth it. Hoping he isn't a 2 star.

[@drags777]

Same!!!

[@TheBetterMythical]

Same; I already know you and I both are still maxing him either way if its 2 star or not. Come back to me once you have one, and we'll see if it's got any good stats lol

[@Doadidthat]

⁠@@TheBetterMythicalcount me in lol

[@kingsgold]

undecided yet, will likely decide on the first day. already attending Go Fest NY, so there will be less value in the global pass as I will already have the Marshadow Research from NY Go Fest ticket. leaving just the money savings on raid passes and shiny boost. and the Go Fest special boxes will likely have better raid pass deals anyway.

[@lelouchchanbc]

Nobody players have catches XXL and XXS mythical Pokemon are obtained from completed tasks in any special research. For example Mew.

[@skylandermidge]

I only got the ticket because of the dusk main and dawn wings Necrozma as I don't have many strong ghost and steel type attackers

[@Rejii16]

But you’re going to be able to raid them regardless…

[@buddy2_6]

also forgot to mention how go fests are kinda the only way to get unowns and if you dont buy the ticket you can forget about ever getting any of them unless you get lucky

[@NinJa-qr1sp]

If they boost shiny raids almost to comm day levels and just change the raids passes to remote raid passes they will have no problems selling tix

@1:46 for the 2 raid passes, if "Trainers that have both this ticket and the Pokémon GO Fest 2024: Global ticket will be able to obtain up to 10 free Raid Passes from spinning Photo Discs at Gyms each day during Pokémon GO Fest 2024: Global on Saturday, July 13, and Sunday, July 14, 2024." basically you get 1 raid passes each day instead of 9 raid passes (with only Global Ticket). fyi

[@cajun1983]

I think it also just depends on if you’re an active player. I get on daily, pay attention to events and spawns/bonuses I’m needing or interested in as well as I still just enjoy the game. If you’re not actively playing then you probably won’t care much for this. I’ve always felt like the 15 dollars is always worth it.

[@PokeSaiyan877]

I stopped playing when Covid came out and just picked it up again a month ago so I’ve missed out on a lot of stuff so far so I already bought my ticket 😂

[@Nyrf7]

How does those challenges works? It seems like the results or bonuses of those challenges are going to be avaiable for everybody (raid bosses/wild spawns/special moves).

[@ManuWave28]

From my small experience, I wonder what hidden activities will be available. Like, will there be Community day moves for evolving certain Mons… the anticipation is crazy

[@condorjones3611]

I've brought the ticket mainly for the boosted shiny odds, the extra bonuses are great but I've made it my mission to get every shiny pokemon. I've been saving my poke coins and been constantly getting 50 from gyms for the last couple of months just to buy remote raid passes for day 2

[@m4ngo_editzz]

Are the researches timed or does it not have a time limit?

[@mrmizzarcus]

I usually have a good balance of raiding, catching mons, and doing research, but I can only play during day 2. So I’m on the fence for buying the ticket this year

[@nixequestrian3721]

Interesting that some countries get much better value from the ticket than others- just did the maths & 18 "free" passes in NZ would be $21, yet the ticket costs $25. Was going to gift my nephew a ticket, but he won't play long enough both days to warrant the ticket price as he mostly raids, so I'll just get him some coins instead, I guess.

[@Falutia]

Whats a go fest box

[@orandor6249]

Getting a free Solgaleo or Lunala from reasearch is also pretty huge considering, you can’t raid them and you might not have a good cosmog to invest in.

[@EmJay5826]

Hey daxi i just wanna say this is a great video and i truly do appreciate how much work you put in i like watching these videos as they boost my hope for these types of events this will be my second go fest and really i see hope for a good time last year global go fest i caught 54 shinies total and was absoultely mind blowing i do these types of events for the shinies and just excercise and to go out more the negative reviews do get to me but i just hope for the best so thank you for this video

I can't believe that Niantic still hasn't told us which Pokemon to evolve to get their legacy moves during this event! Last year they let it be known early which was why I held on evolving a ton of my Pokemon who needed their legacy charge moves. Like Metagross with Meteor Mash. I am dying to know this year if we can do that again! This sucks!!!!

10 days left you guys excited ?

[@jack_act]

Will the fusion with necrozma be able to be shiny

[@dailydooseofmemees]

If your Necrozma is shiny, then yes

[@Jojojordonian]

If you buy raid passes at the 3 for 250 price then buying 18 actually costs 1500 poke coins, equaling roughly $15, the price of the ticket except that you can't use the free coins earned from gyms to buy the ticket. At the end of the day, do what you want, but the value isn't amazing if you're buying it exclusively for the raids.

[@chicochris3062]

So better off buying the ticket or just saving those 15 bucks for raid passes and not buy the ticket ?

tbh i only bought it just because of the 2 pokemon that you quaranteed get from it cuz im a lone valor player in a village filled with instinct, i need anything i can get my hands of to fight this 1 man war.

[@yokaibyte2133]

As someone that doesn’t really care about shinies, I felt like Sendai was nothing special this year. I raided a lot and had multiple problems with the game crashing, loading issues, and GPS errors (Niantic’s help bot is useless). I did over 100 Necrozma raids in two days and my highest was a 96er. On top of that, the region locked Pokémon wasn’t even useful to me. Something for PvP players would have been nice (Skiddo, Hawlucha, etc). I would have liked to have traded for some PvP Pokémon but I was too busy raiding 🤷‍♂️ These event are for shiny collectors or PoGoTubers and the like IMO. I could have saved all my money and just did the world event and most likely had the same results.

[@mrtylersquared]

Remember if your goal is shinies. You can ignore almost everything except just shiny checking! Then you have a lower chance of leaving go fest disappointed

[@AlfonsoReyes-gp6ct]

I feel like you forgot to say at the end that with the pass you get an encounter with the lion or bat poke and that alone makes it worth it. You said it earlier but not as part on why it's valuable. In the research only available to paid.

Do we need the ticket and the subscription just to raid? I'm asking because I needed one more push to 86 this game for good. I figured I'd ask first because of the time and money I've wasted.
