"Hatch events are just a HUGE scam": Players react to absence of event spawns during Pokemon GO Young & Wise

Pokemon GO's Young & Wise event has left many players feeling underwhelmed due to the lack of significant content. Despite wild spawns being a major part of the gameplay, they have seen a decline in quality following Niantic's shift toward alternative content like raids and Max Battles.

This discussion was sparked by Entire_Pineapple4732 on the Pokemon GO subreddit. Many players, including Impressive_Counter20, agree that these types of hatch events are less engaging due to their reliance on randomness.

These hatch events often lack special wild encounters. However, Niantic frequently includes special Raid Battles, which generate revenue through Remote Raid Pass purchases.

Impressive_Counter20 had this to say regarding the game's latest hatch event:

"Hatch events are just a HUGE scam. RNG events where you can't even make it to a showcase because you won't get the one pokemon..."

The comment also highlights that hatch events make it difficult to participate in Pokemon Showcases, as the eggs don't guarantee hatching the spotlighted creature. Additionally, the Raid Battles offered, though fitting the event theme, seem out of place for the winter season.

Players in the southern hemisphere, like Ssfgrgawer, who are currently experiencing summer, also find the event underwhelming, even for those willing to go outside. The scarcity of Incubators makes hatching large quantities of eggs a chore for free-to-play users.

According to Entire_Pineapple4732, Niantic should offer wild Pokemon that players would be motivated to find outdoors if they want to increase interest in hatching eggs and Raid Battles. This is especially true during the cold winter months.

How can Niantic make Pokemon GO's events better?

Events have been lackluster recently due to much of Niantic's focus being on other forms of content (Image via Niantic)

Given the controversy over Pokemon GO's more modern Raid Battle formats, many are against exclusive raid content, which is inaccessible to rural players.

Wild spawns are the most accessible form of content in the game and should be prioritized in events. Introducing previously egg-only creatures as wild spawns, like Galarian Corsola and Toxel, would be a great starting point for improving the community's experience. It would be great to see new hatches, like Galarian Corsola and Toxel, get this treatment in a future event.
