The communication regarding the Lucky Pokémon in Pokémon GO was unclear from the developers. This frustrates many fans. They say they have “wasted” Pokémon for trading.
New Lucky Pokémon: The new update for Pokémon GO brings the feature for Lucky Pokémon. These are monsters that can be obtained through trading. The special thing about them is that they require significantly less Stardust for Powering Up.
Clumsy announcement: In the patch notes of the new update that appeared in the PlayStore or Google-Store, the team writes: “When Pokémon are traded, there is a chance that both traded Pokémon will become Lucky Pokémon.” Due to this announcement, many trainers believed that the feature would be active after installing the update. However, that was not the case.
Trainers traded wildly and are disappointed
After trainers installed the update, they quickly traded Pokémon with their friends. After all, they wanted to receive the announced Lucky Pokémon. It was not until 6 hours after the announcement of the update that Niantic clarified that the feature is not yet active.
Exchanged for nothing? Many trainers who traded Pokémon after the announcement to receive Lucky Pokémon are angry. Because there is still no possibility to obtain such Pokémon. The feature will be activated later. On Twitter, they let their frustration run free.
They criticize the poor communication between the team and the players.
The complaints on Twitter have reached the point where players are demanding compensation.
What went wrong: Niantic should have made it clearer from the beginning that the new feature with the Lucky Pokémon would be activated later. Many tweets and the in-game announcement suggested that the feature would be active with the update. The announcement in the game is titled “Lucky Pokémon ready for new adventures”.
For the future, players hope that Niantic clearly states when features are delayed in being implemented into the game.
For Lucky Pokémon and their IV values, Niantic has thought of something special
