Players want an old bug to return in Pokémon GO. This bug is particularly useful during Community Days.
What is this bug? This bug, which occurred about a year ago, “remembered” the last used Poké Ball. So if you caught a Pokémon with a Ultra Ball and then clicked on the next monster, the Ultra Ball was already selected.
Niantic made it clear that this was a bug and changed it back after a few days.
What players say about the old bug
That’s why it’s being wished back: After the Community Day in March, voices were raised wishing for this bug to return. Geckarbor was usually thrown with a Great or Ultra Ball anyway, so this bug would have been quite useful.
That’s why it would be helpful: If this bug were in the game again, it would be especially useful during Community Days. This way, you could catch significantly more Pokémon since you wouldn’t have to select the ball beforehand.
Moreover, it’s just much more convenient, as you don’t always have to select the right ball. It is already selected beforehand.
The downside of the bug is: Outside of the event, the bug could be bothersome again, as you wouldn’t want to waste the good balls on normal spawns. Often, a Poké Ball is sufficient.
This is what players want: Many players want this bug as an optional feature. This way, you should be able to turn the feature on and off as needed.
BritasticUK writes on Reddit: “They should definitely implement the bug as an optional feature! I personally wouldn’t use it, but I know many other players who would love to use it.”
This feature already exists: In the latest Pokémon game Let’s GO, Eevee/Pikachu, this feature already exists. Although Niantic is not the developer of this game, they regularly hold events together with this game.
One could thus assume that such a feature could also be adopted from the Let’s-GO games.
For Community Day, there were also new event times. What did you think of that?
