This Saturday, November 2, the live event “A Colossal Discovery” will start in Pokémon GO. However, it costs 8.99€. Is it worth it for you and will you participate?
What kind of event is this? This live event runs from 11 AM to 7 PM and provides you with a special research about Regigigas. Additionally, there are various other bonuses, such as 10 free Raid Passes and a Unova Stone.
However, not all trainers can participate in this event. One must pay 8.99€ to gain access. The money cannot be replaced by in-game currency.
Is the event worth the money for you?
This is why it is controversial: Such events have always been tied to specific locations. For example, there was the Pokémon GO Fest in Dortmund during the summer, which also cost money.
However, this is the first event that is not location-bound and can be played anywhere. It is essentially like a Community Day or a Quest Day, but accessible for real money.
What bonuses are there? Those who pay 8.99€ not only gain access to the event but also to other bonuses. You will receive:
- 10 Raid Passes that you can only redeem on Saturday
- A special research thus providing early access to the legendary Pokémon Regigigas
- An Unova Stone and a Sinnoh Stone
- A medal for your collection
- An exclusive avatar pose
What does the event offer exclusively? Apart from the avatar pose and the medal, you can obtain all these things without spending money in the game. Regigigas will be available in EX Raids starting mid-November and will replace Mewtwo there. So during the event on Saturday, you will only be able to access Regigigas faster.
Will you be there? We have added a survey for you here. You can vote on whether you will invest the 8.99€ and be there at the start, or whether you will skip it and catch Regigigas at a later time. So be sure to vote:
In the comments, you can still write your opinion on why you will or will not participate.
