Some Pokemon GO players are currently unhappy with the lack of interesting rewards in the current World of Wonders Taken Over event. This latest Pokemon GO event has just started, and it will continue until March 31.
Pokemon GO was released back in 2016, quickly becoming a huge hit, and maintaining its success over the years. Earlier this year, Pokemon GO had a major annual revenue drop, but it’s still pretty successful when compared to most mobile games with its longevity. However, this success does not prevent some players from feeling annoyed by some aspects of the popular title.
Pokemon GO: How To Get Shiny Tapu Lele & Best Moveset

In a post that received over 1,500 upvotes, a gamer called Entire_Pineapple4732 recently complained about the rewards of the new World of Wonders Taken Over event. Events often come with unique bosses and special research tasks in Pokemon GO, and some players are disappointed about the prizes related to the new Team Go Rocket leaders. In Entire_Pineapple4732’s case, the player was upset that not even Pseudo Legendary monsters were available for beating them. According to them, the most useful creature available was the Shadow Machamp, which could be gained by defeating normal grunts.
Pokemon GO Players Are Unhappy With Multiple Aspects of the Game
As can be seen in the comments of the post, other players were also displeased with the lack of unique rewards. Unfortunately, the rewards of this current event are not everything that players dislike in Pokemon GO right now. Recently, Pokemon GO players have noticed a decrease in Revive drops from the game’s raids and PokeStops. While the change was not officially announced by Niantic, it was perceived by several players, who complained that this made raids more difficult, as they had several downed Pokemon in their storage, and that this imbalance essentially wiped out their supplies of Revive.
Another recent complaint regarding the game was focused on the changes in the avatar system of Pokemon GO. A few players saw the recent changes that Niantic tested in some parts of the United Kingdom and the United States as a downgrade, considering that the desaturated skin tones of their avatar make them “look like potatoes.” On the other hand, some gamers actually enjoyed the new system, as they considered the previous one to be outdated. At the moment, it remains to be seen how Niantic will address these complaints by its player base, so gamers will need to wait for new updates to discover what is coming to Pokemon GO.
