Pokémon’s programming team now recognized the frustrating mistakes in the game harassing the great event on the 9th anniversary, a few days after players first reported this problem.
The current 9th birthday of Shenanigans focus on Gimmighoul, a miniature loving goblin Pokémon coin, which is usually available only after connecting the Pokémon Go account to the Nintendo switch with a copy of Pokémon Scarlet or Violet.
Now, to celebrate the latest anniversary of the game for a smartphone, Gimmighoul has a up-to-date costume variant and is also available in a shiny version for the first time – although a mechanic gathering resources to develop creature does not work as intended.
Gimmighoul has a unique requirement for evolution, which requires players to collect 999 gimmighoul coins, before the appetite for the eager creation is so formulated that it will transform into its evolution, Gholango. Collecting these coins is to be a challenge, and many players are still far from the meeting of the required amount after presenting Gimmighoul. And for this reason the current event was so widely expected.
Collecting gimmighoul coins in Pokémon Go is possible in two ways – from coins dropped when catching gimmighoul itself using the coin bag function (which requires confusion and connecting a phone with a switch/switch/switch Nintendo 2 every time you want to employ it) or virus by golden pokéstops.
Usually, golden pokéstops only appear when it is activated with golden bait (which Also requires confusion and connecting with the switch, a total of five times), but during the current event, everyone Pokéstop can randomly turn into a golden pokéstop for a miniature time. This means that the event is the easiest way to collect gimmighoul coins for a long time, or it should be – except that the function is currently summarized in a way that sends fans to social media with great frustration.
Imagine seeing the golden pokéstop on the horizon, approaching him just to see how back in a regular Pokéstop, as you are approaching. Then imagine that you see another golden pokéstop on the horizon elsewhere, walking there and having the same, over and over again.
This is the experience of many Pokémon Go fans now, because they hunt the golden Pokéstops only so that they apparently get livid at the time of approaching.
“I wasted all my break for lunch, thinking it’s just me,” wrote one player on the best fans of Pokémon Go Reddit Thessilphroad.
“It is so annoying. It’s too hot to go to the stop and just disappears,” said another, perhaps also got stuck in the current wave of sizzling weather in Great Britain.
“It happened to me 6 times today. I gave up on this day,” I wrote the third. (You’re not alone.)
No wonder, yes, it’s really a mistake, the programming team has now appreciated – but it’s actually only visual issue. In other words, the Golden Pokéstop did not despise, but it is simply no longer perceptible. Yes, the pokéstops you left, in fact there were still places to finally get gimmighoul coins.
“Golden Pokéstops becomes blue before spinning,” we read Description of the problem On the Pokémon Go Help Center website. “Description of release: Approaching the golden Pokéstop, the blue one may change in front of him. This is a visual error and does not affect your ability to collect gimmighoul coins. Status of the problem: study.”
There are also several other complaints about this event, such as the fact that even if you find the golden pokéstop, the chances of dropping gimmighoul coins seem lower than in previous events. In addition, that the costly version of Gimmighoul did not seem that its shiny version joined in the middle afternoon-although this type of mistake, which still requires that the game community would notice and reported before repaired, is more equal to the course.
The 9th anniversary of Pokémon Go lasts until this Sunday, July 6, so that the fans would still try to collect more gimmighoul coins. In the meantime, the touched fans suggested that the game should now do more to support them hunt for treasures.
