In Pokémon GO you can buy optional item boxes in the shop. However, one offer is currently confusing trainers.
What kind of box is this? A post is currently being discussed in the Pokémon GO subreddit that shows the so-called Expert Box
in the shop (via reddit). This box includes:
- 50 Sananabeeren
- 50 Himmihbeeren
- 50 Nanabbeeren
So the box is simply full of berries, which is already unusual. Because normally, trainers hope for good offers of premium items in the boxes, such as incubators or remote raid passes.
Berries, on the other hand, can usually be obtained very easily in the game. Moreover, the box is quite expensive: the box is said to cost a whopping 750 coins, which seems very much for the content. There are even cheaper boxes in the shop that offer more useful items.
Can everyone see this box? This is not entirely certain, as players sometimes see different boxes in the shop. It is clear that it is not listed as Expert Box
for everyone. Another post shows the box with the same contents as Superbox
(via reddit), in the editorial team we could find the box as Veteranenbox
.
What do players say about the strange box in the shop?
This is how the community reacts: The box is causing confusion in the Pokémon GO subreddit. Players wonder who is supposed to buy this box. Because berries are really not an item for which one wants to spend hard-earned coins, let alone so many.
Some users even emphasize that they regularly have to delete berries from their bag to not exceed their item limit. Accordingly, the feedback is as follows:
This is basically what I get on a walk instead of Pokéballs
, writes user ScottOld (via reddit).Seriously, I thought this was a satire post
, comments user Sinuality (via reddit).Lmao, I would have to delete 150 berries to buy this
(via reddit).Man, I wish I could sell this amount of berries for the same amount of coins
(via reddit)I probably throw away that much per day
(via reddit).
Overall, the box is not well received. In general, the topic of boxes
in Pokémon GO is always a point of criticism, as players often wish for better offers to obtain important items like incubators.
Earning coins can ultimately take quite a long time, as you can only earn a maximum of 50 coins a day by defending gyms. This is also a point that players have recently raised: they wish for an improvement of the gym system.
