I appreciate the acknowledgement for the issues with raids. However, the compensation just being more raids to spend more money on isn’t the compensation people deserve. Not to mention, compensation should be for EVERYONE, not just for some countries/certain regions. Everyone worldwide was affected by raid issues the whole weekend in some way.
People deserve raid passes back, other premium items like lucky eggs, star pieces, incense, link charges etc. More importantly like some past compensations, give people special research with encounters with legendary Pokémon with guaranteed backgrounds from across the weekend, with a shiny rate of 1/10 perhaps. Or if you have an extended raid event, make the raids free to join and available everywhere. People didn’t just lose time raiding, they lost money because of the raid passes/link charges they lost, and other premium items on in the background like lucky eggs, star pieces etc.
No one’s perfect, mistakes happen, things can go wrong and anyone thinking reasonably can understand that. While I understand with such a huge global event, issues can happen that are not anticipated and outside of your control, what you CAN control is the appropriate compensation for people, and not just to select groups but to everyone, especially with it being the 10 year anniversary too.

Fake shundo Hyper Trained Mewtwo complete!! 🙌🏻😭
Since I didn’t get a hundo Mewtwo during GO Fest, I decided to use my Golden Bottle Cap on my 96% Mewtwo
Anyway, when will the compensation come? 🤔
#PokemonGO
Giving away a guaranteed 💯 Pokemon is short-sighted and a bad move.
Limiting it to invite-only content-creators is even worse— it makes the previously false perception that some people had “favored accounts” now actually true.
Fairness requires odds to be equal for everyone.
Interesting controversy in Pokemon Go:
The game has been out for ten years and is celebrating its tenth anniversary. To celebrate, they had a lavish event in Times Square last night, where the game took over all the screens and participants could battle the legendary Pokemon Mewtwo in the game. This echoed a cinematic trailer released with the game’s launch in 2016 that had never previously been possible in the actual game.
BUT, the event was restricted to a group of 2000 streamers, “community ambassadors” and invited guests who were given tickets that activated the event in their game. If you showed up to Times Square without an invitation, there was nothing there.
The Mewtwo the special influencers got had perfect stats and a special background that nobody else can get. This weekend, Mega Mewtwo is releasing worldwide, and Niantic/Scopely, the publisher of the game, expected the millions of players to watch a livestream where a bunch of Twitch streamers attended a spectacular party everyone else was not invited to and were gifted powerful in-game characters, and then they expect all those players to pay money this weekend to buy raid passes to hunt for a perfect Mewtwo.
The community is furious. If Niantic/Scopely had expected this to be received positively, they radically miscalculated. Their mistake, which a lot of companies make, is that they believed people like influencers, and enjoy watching influencers receive free stuff as they promote products.
In fact, most people HATE influencers, and they especially hate it when these leeches get free stuff.
🧠 Mega Mewtwo Y will be available in Super Mega Raids on July 12.
⚠️ You will get around 400-450 Mega Energy per successful raid.
📈 Mewtwo from Super Mega Raids will have a higher IV floor.
🥊 Mewtwo caught from Mega Mewtwo Y raids will know the special move Psystrike.
Please Mega Evolve Pokemon (and use it) for this battle!
✨ If you're lucky, you might find a Shiny!
