The Community Day with Bummelz is over and was a complete disaster. Pokémon GO responds to the criticism and now announces a return of Bummelz.
What happened on Community Day? The event in Germany lasted only an hour before the weather feature broke down. As a result, hardly any Bummelz appeared. A disaster for a Community Day.
A shitstorm erupted on social media, and many players demanded a repeat of the Community Day.
This is how the Community Day with Bummelz went
These were the problems: Those who played in the first hour of the event likely had no issues at all. The spawns of Bummelz were normal, and there were shinies to catch everywhere.
However, starting at 4 PM, the weather disappeared. No weather was displayed in the top right corner. When this feature is off, spawns always change. Many different Pokémon appear that do not belong to the event.
It was the same with Bummelz. In the last 2 hours, there were hardly any Bummelz to catch. Entire cluster spawns produced no Bummelz, and the chance of a shiny decreased for many players.
How does Niantic respond? Initially, Niantic support confirmed that there were problems with the weather and that they wanted to work on solutions.
A few hours later, in the middle of the night, Niantic announced that Bummelz will return. Most players suspect that the Community Day for Europe and Africa will be repeated. However, there could also be another event centered around Bummelz. Niantic does not express this clearly.
When will Bummelz return? That is still unclear. Niantic states that they will bring Bummelz back during the summer. However, there is no exact date.
