Pokémon Go is Milking Mewtwo Too Hard, Fans Say, After a Lackluster Weekend Event Marred by More Server Issues
Mewtwo is being milked too hard, fans say, as Pokémon Go continues to capitalize on the creature's popularity and monetization potential.
Fans of Pokémon Go are expressing frustration over the game's apparent overuse of Mewtwo and the recent disappointing weekend event plagued by server issues. Mewtwo, a highly sought-after creature, has been reintroduced multiple times in recent weeks, with Mega Mewtwo X and Y returning once more. The latest event, Go Fest: Mega Finale, featured new content such as Mega Chesnaught, Mega Delphox, and Mega Greninja, but players were limited to acquiring only one of them.
The event also saw Mega Mewtwo X and Y, alongside Armored Mewtwo, return, with an announcement promising its Shiny version would soon follow. This has led to accusations that the game is becoming overly greedy and monetizing its players too much. Technical issues, as seen yesterday with a short network disruption affecting raids in the Americas, have only fueled the dissatisfaction.
Some fans argue that raid passes should only be deducted when a battle is successfully completed, rather than when the battle begins, as is currently the case. The developer, Scopely Explore, has acknowledged the network disruption and provided compensation in the form of two raid passes. However, calls for a change in how raid passes are handled continue to grow among the player base.
