50 Pokemon for 3 berries is fucking stupid, we should at least get a nice encounter or something.Īlthough, to be fair, I could just not do these challenges. The Season of Heritage catch challenges only have sporadic good rewards, especially since you have to catch a TON of Pokemon to finish them.īasically, what I am trying to say is that, if Niantic wants us to catch so many Pokemon, at least dangle something fancy in front of us. With these though, we were clear from the start what the end reward would be – the shiny Mew itself. Honestly I wouldn’t mind longer catch challenges if they were a tad more interestingįor example, the special research for Shiny Mew included some very long catch tasks, namely catching 30 of every type of Pokemon. The step before that task gave me a Pupitar encounter, so this just seems strange. Rather than 3 things we get in raids anyway, why don’t we get something interesting, like an Incense or maybe some lure modules. Catching 50 Pokemon for the equivalent of one single raid is ludicrous. In fact, 3 berries for 50 Pokemon is exactly why I am writing this article. Catch 50m Pokemon for 3 Golden Razberries Some tasks on the other hand really do take the piss. Except, if we catch 10 Pokemon, we already get 1000 stardust. There are similar tasks for catching grass, water and fire types, that give you 500 stardust. On top of that, the green daily task “catch 5 Pokemon” ALSO rewards you with Pinaps and offers 5 of them. At the same time, I had already obtained a Pinap from spinning the Pokestop. I came across a research task at a nearby Pokestop that offered me one single Pinap for catching 10 Pokemon. The problem though is that the rewards for catching Pokemon can be incredibly lame. It’s always nice to have a goal and the promise of a reward. If anything, catch challenges are basically rewarding you for something you were going to do anyway. When we’re not catching Pokemon for candy, we catch them for stardust. We constantly catch Pokemon and grind them up for candy to feed our better Pokemon. In Pokemon GO especially, catching is like 90% of the game. Except there’s generally no real way to do that without a lot of work. It’s in their tag line, “Gotta catch ’em all”. After all, catching Pokemon is, well, the main point of Pokemon. Now, I normally don’t have a problem with collecting Pokemon, including catching huge amounts of them. Because, for some reason, the Season of Heritage has two collect-a-thons currently, There’s nothing wrong with some catch challenges. Something that, as of writing, exists two-fold in the Today tab. But the most common challenge of all is just a generic “Catch X Pokemon”. Others are more open-ended and want you to catch various types of Pokemon. Some challenges are strict, requiring you to catch very specific Pokemon. These challenges challenge you to catch certain amounts of Pokemon. Hold your nose and settle in for the lamest Pokémon ever.One of the biggest parts of Pokemon GO is research and research challenges. Then, for those times you really want to scrape right through the bottom of the barrel into the muddy, muddy ground beneath, there are these guys. This is necessary because there are many Pokémon that are just straight up outclassed by others, and serious battlers, to paraphrase the meme, ain’t got no time fo dat. There are tiers for all ‘mon, from the very best to the very worst, in an attempt to ensure that something like Probopass doesn’t get horribly savaged by… well, just about anything decent. Smogon is generally considered to be the authority where competitive play is concerned, and they operate under a tier system. The other thing about Pokémon is, a lot of them are kind of terrible. The thing about Pokémon is, there are almost a thousand different creatures in the roster now. Delve into competitive Pokémon, and you’ll be confronted by a cutthroat community even League of Legends couldn’t rival for a-holery (well, let’s not go nuts). If you dig a little deeper, however, you’ll see what a sordid world this really is.
