Pokémon GO: This small extension makes thousands of players happy

A great wish of many players in Pokémon GO is fulfilled: You can now expand your Pokémon box.

Niantic announced: Via Twitter, Niantic announced that the Pokémon box can now contain 500 more slots. So you can carry up to 2500 Pokémon at the same time.

This is the first expansion since November 2018. Back then you could expand from 1500 to 2000. Players are happy because their Pokémon box was extremely full again lately.

That’s why the expansion was so highly requested

This happened in recent months: The Pokémon box became fuller again in recent months. Since November, many new Pokémon have been added, which of course must be accommodated somewhere.

In addition to the new monsters from Generation 4, there were also new hat Pikachu, new Shinies, and now also Crypto-Pokémon. Diligent collectors do not want to part with them and want to keep at least one specimen each.

The result is an overflowing Pokémon box. Especially with the introduction of Crypto-Pokémon, the cries for a larger box grew louder. Niantic has now responded to this wish.

What does expanding cost? An expansion by 50 slots costs as usual 200 coins. So if you want to get the full 500 slots, you need to pay 2000 coins. This corresponds to about 20 euros.

How do players react to this? The enthusiasm is great. The thread on the topic receives over 4000 upvotes on Reddit and the comments below are largely positive.

  • XUndeadA55asinX: “Good timing, just as I started to reach the previous maximum of 2000. I just wish they would completely overhaul the Pokémon box system rather than just increasing it bit by bit.”
  • arcreature: “I’m glad they didn’t wait as long as last time to increase it. This is great news for many players.”
  • Exaskryz: “Yes! Now I can enjoy Community Day with Trasla.”

Players are excited about the expansion

What is still being wished for: After the Pokémon box was enlarged for the second time in a row, some players are now wishing for an expansion of the item bag. After all, it has been at 2000 items for a long time and is very full for many players.

However, Niantic has not yet announced anything regarding this. So we will have to wait and see if they actually want to enlarge the bag.

Another reason for joy for many players is the introduction of Shiny Rayquaza:
