So for those not understanding why I believe PTC is monetizing shiny legendary Pokemon, here is a quick timeline of events:
In gen 1, wild shiny Pokemon and female Pokemon at a 1:8 are shiny locked. Gen 1 didn’t really focus randomizing IVs of wild Pokemon like gen 2, but
@lickmybawlznerd@Oshawaves Never. I will remain 10 forever just like Ash Ketchum. You can’t make me
And not all of us are filthy stinking rich fans like you are. I honestly can’t afford to stay a fan if they monetize every shiny legendary & every mythical Pokemon making it too expensive for rural players
@Yuuki_x_game There are also the shiny Pokemon hunters who will have issues. Several shiny Pokemon players could only get in the 3DS games. The way PTC is most likely going to fix this is by putting pokeball vivillon and shiny Celebi (rereleased) in paid research & others in Pokemon Go raids
@Light_88_ There is absolutely no reason except for being extremely predatory especially to rural players to make it so when Bank shuts down, Pokeball Vivillon, shiny Celebi, shiny Poipole, and shiny Type: Null will end up exclusively monetized in Pokemon Go especially the loot boxes.
@matope21724 Even if it is, there is absolutely no reason for them to exclusively monetize shiny mythical Pokemon in Pokemon Go. They used to give these Pokemon out for free over mystery gift or in older titles, let players soft reset for them. It no longer feels special when they are P2W
@Shi_Pool They criticize me for saying if I can’t get the shiny legendary Pokemon in time, I will either just hack them in or buy them off of eBay. The loot boxes for a chance to get them in Pokemon go for rural players can easily end up hundreds of dollars if the player is unlucky.
@dbzebra2 Don’t forget eventually that SwSh and the DLC will also one day get delisted whenever Nintendo decides to delist all of the Switch1 titles and their DLC along with shutting off the internet for Switch1 leaving gen 5-7 shiny legendary Pokemon exclusively monetized in Pokemon Go.
@ThePichuGuy If you nag at scopely enough times, they might put her in Pokemon Go. Both Cosplay Pikachu and Ash Pikachu made it in so maybe Spiky Ear Pichu can as well.
@MizukiAlola Well there is Alola Tour 2027 in Pokemon Go. Most likely will put shiny Poipole in loot box raids after access to the F2P shiny Poipole is permanently cut off.
@Circumventoin I never reported you. I blocked you bc you wouldn’t quit telling me to k!ll myself or teaming up with others to pile on insults and mocking towards me. Look I am not the one who reported you and got you suspended and I would really appreciate it if you stopped persecuting me.
@_Benchii What shiny hunting felt like before VS what it feels like now especially with Bank shutting down
This is the reason why I am quitting Pokemon. Pay to win loot boxes in Go completely defeat the thrill of finding a Pokemon and instead feel like gambling at the casino.
@sliceofblu I used to love it as well especially shiny hunting legendary Pokemon. Now they treat shiny hunting legendary Pokemon like either sellable property just like Hunter J did in DP or team rocket or they are like a pay for a chance to win loot box booth at a carnival. It frustrates me
@Noctusion And sadly going on in the future for shiny hunters thanks to Pokemon Go and Bank closing that slogan is going to change into:
Shiny Pokemon
Gotta Buy em All
@rcQ2hvS1cf86920 Also boycott buying shiny legendary and shiny Pokemon in Pokemon Go as well to discourage that monetization of shiny legendary Pokemon and put our foot down against shiny Celebi, shiny Type: Null, and shiny Poipole being exclusively monetized in Go after bank closes.
