@@dacubanmofo No, they saw that people prefer remote raids and are willing to pay more. So they charge more with the excuse, that they want players to go outside. It's all about the money

The box selling 99 premium passes for 5425 is a pretty awesome deal. It comes around to 55 cents for pass, however, it is basically $55 (ignoring "discounts" from buying coins in bulk), but that still works out for me.
@@Royvankalken023 GO Fest had a slightly better deal on the webstore that was around 50 cents (v.s. ~55 cents/pass); Costed real money though. I haven't seen a better deal than that for coins.
There was a Box last week that was x10 of star pieces, lucky eggs, and the Poffin bread for around 700 pokecoins. I thought that was an amazing deal and bought it 10 times. For me, for what I’ve needed for my PokemonGO adventures, the boxes have been very helpful the last 2 weeks. But overall keep it up PokeAk!

Never spend money and save your coins for obvious good deals. Dont fall for the idiot tax even if youre rich. I havent spent a dime for a year and before that, i spent very little. Niantic people dont deserve your money, they are terrible at their job.
By the look of the boxes and the deals they bring. Seems everyones made of GOLD. This is a free to play game yet they charge full price and say it's discounted. Noooo it's called disconnected and greedy. These deals ain't going to entice anyone for buying them. Wise up my fellow humans.
It would be like Sam's Club having a big old box of paper towels and having a clearance price on it.Because they charged you per paper towel roll in the box
Remember those weekly 1 coin boxes that had one remote raid pass and a bunch of nice stuff (vaguely remembering 20+ of some balls)? Those were the good old days.
Your content is always on point homie! Was wondering how shop items are 20% on sale but the same price!🤣😭🤣 Without creators we'd be playing in the dark.
A few weeks back I was up late and I was in the game doing stuff when I noticed 2 new bundles in the shop. One for 150 coins and the other for 95. The 95 one wasn’t anything special but the 150 one contained 1 Pokéball, 1 potion, and 3 raid passes; I bought it immediately! Also those 2 weren’t actually supposed to be in the shop because they had no box image and their name were “koreaseptember100.1_title” and “koreaseptember200.1_title” and about a half hour later they were then gone. lol 😂
Definitely deceptive to older players, but I wonder if newer players think about it any differently. Thanks for covering this. If the items in a box are all things I want, I'll consider it, but coming with various berries is just fluff.
I live in a populated area, able to get supplies in a good amount of time. I do buy pokeballs at times though, sometimes my time is worth more than money....
I’m recently back to the game and was confused about the boxes and the “% off” in the shop. I give myself a budget monthly for hobbies so I will spend $ on PoGo but I’m picky and try to just get things that I’ll use. The best deal IMO was the coin pass. I lucked out that a stop got put in across the street from me so I don’t need to worry about balls. I’d like more revives and potions though at least until the fix raids.
Also, for the store, those pokeballs (and other amenities) have always had the discounted number but never showed the percentage too often. I think I saw it once and was confused but hey
I miss the adventure box with incubators! 1480 coins. I hate all these custom boxes--a group of us compared our boxes and everyone had different boxes and prices. And why are they using pinaps as Styrofoam peanuts in every box?
The boxes are crap if they want to sell something useful in bulk bundles then the only things in those boxes should be like regular tm since they wont let use choose the moves we want to tm or other high usage items. I would rather personally pay for balls tms and incubators in bulk bundles not all the rest of the stuff. Especially since if they do it with remote raids we can only do 5 remote a day anyway.
Man, I trade max gifts every single day... I currently have 82 regular balls, 336 Great Balls, and 4148 Ultra Balls. I delete 100s of regular balls every 1.5 weeks and 100s of Great Balls each month. I never have to worry about buying Poke' Balls. EVER.
@@scoogyskoogz1869 Except for first few months I don't think I have ever had no balls at all, same with rare candy just accumulate over 1000 and maintain from there.
The only deal I've ever seen on Pokemon go was last month when they had the TM boxes on the website other than that I haven't seen anything that's been worth it
IMO the only box worth buying every single time now is the one with 10 Starpieces, Lucky Eggs and Poffins in it for like 750 coins. Cheap and effective.
Just like a singular person, the way a company acts in the little things tells you what kind of person/company they are. Scumbag corporatism greed is rampant.
I never really buy the bundles haven't really bought anything since necrozma but did spend about 10$ today for zacain but haven't spent crazy since Lugia was around in April 2023 when the prices where actually decent and not a cut throat price like it is now on top of being controlled on how many we can do on top of paying for it we still got to go by a stupid limit on everything raids max particles just stupid wish it was like before where you were not controlled on how many you can do and it was actually fun now it's impossible and expensive to try to grind for a hundo or shundo legendary ever since they done the limit and controlled us how much we can do.
Used to get 100 coins for $1 here in NZ, now changed it to $1.69 Just not worth purchasing 'virtual items' at these prices and the boxes largely suck anyway. Greed killing the game.
I am in a small town in Massachusetts Need a car to get out lol 😂 no bus the only thing it is Pokemongo friendly everything is historic and mark I have 5 poke stops and a gym with out leaving my home when I go for a walk I am doing routes the town pool is a beach I feel bad the new Dynamix gyms people have businesses from their home so the houses are becoming dynamic gyms I feel ball should be free can’t even imagine how many more people would play if they didn’t have to make that one purchase it would be in their best interest just my view ❤
IMHO opening my gifts is sus when I need balls (constantly getting healing items is frustrating) seems like a method Niantic is using to push trainers to consider shopping 👎🏻
They just offered 2 remote raid passes + 2 regular raid passes at a higher price than if you bought them separately, and had the balls to call it a discount
Lol is always been a scam like from the Start of Pokemon go until now I still don't understand the point of spending 1 dollar in raid passes to ended up sending it to the trash and just getting one candy that cost you a dollar. Same with egg incubators 😂
Does Niantic think we're stupid. We know that 3 remote raid passes cost 525 in the shop. What's this crap about having the price at 585, cross it out then have it as a sale for the going price
the store has been a scam for me personally for years. i am one of the lucky one who has the exact 3 boxes every day for years. i wish they would change it
The game was rigged from the start. I bought a lot of passes for Zacian and guess what? The moment you do more than one raid per day it raises the difficulty to catch the boss
It definitely is. A 3 pack of premium raid passes was always 250 pokecoins, they just raised the price to 300 and now it says they're 15% off for the low price of 250! They literally think we are stupid.
Most of the Boxes are scummy af! Use your Coins wisely…
It’s the little things that tell you what kind of people run Niantic.
They've always been terrible, especially with the price of remote raids
Pretty evident they don’t want people to remote raid anymore hence why they made them over double the price of local raid passes
@@dacubanmofo also the fact that they completely ruined the boss charge attack system from last I checked
@@dacubanmofo No, they saw that people prefer remote raids and are willing to pay more. So they charge more with the excuse, that they want players to go outside. It's all about the money
I only use coins on item/Pokémon space
This is the only acceptable use for coins besides buying extra raid passes
Same
Agreed that Niantic loves money more than the game or the community
I miss when Niantic liked making money with the unlimited remote raids.

I do live in Alaska, and I don't buy balls. Sometimes potions now cause they give you less. Didn't worry about items before recently.
TH-cam Lords please push this man to every pokemon player that needs to hear it.
Stop spending if you want Niantic to change❗️

.. meanwhile my F2P ass simply grabbing the 50 pokemon space, and being on my way out.
fax, we can grab pokeballs when we go into the city

I miss the 1480 coin boxes
I've seen 15 premium raid passes and other stuff for 1000 coins. That's when I stock up when I see it.
It would be like Sam's Club having a big old box of paper towels and having a clearance price on it.Because they charged you per paper towel roll in the box
around 7:00. take that into consideration one pass were way cheaper back then. They increased price for passes after the lock down of the pandemic.

If you're an in person raider, the 5425 box is about as good as it gets! 52 coins a pass? Then cheaper/ftp coins?! yes please.

It's the discount value of the lower set eg 100 poke balls for 100 coins say 200 pokeballs for 160 coins is 20% off
11:08 8th anniversary 8th Pokemon thing 🤷♂️ I’m surprised not gengar
The incubator box for 70 is good. 50/50 makes for 70 cents each is a deal. I still have a ton leftover from the last time I bought
Once i saw the remote raid tickets being on sale, i knew that video was about to be released
I miss the adventure box with incubators! 1480 coins. I hate all these custom boxes--a group of us compared our boxes and everyone had different boxes and prices. And why are they using pinaps as Styrofoam peanuts in every box?
There is Raid Box now for 425c (2 Remote 2 Green) As for now it's fixed, but earlier it literally LIED that it's worth 810 coins, it's 590 xD
To be honest I basically only spend on raid passes

In my shop today there is 1100 poke coins for 5 fast tms and 5 charge tms - which really is the deal of a lifetime
I purchase balls too, but the bigger ultra and great balls
Man, I trade max gifts every single day... I currently have 82 regular balls, 336 Great Balls, and 4148 Ultra Balls. I delete 100s of regular balls every 1.5 weeks and 100s of Great Balls each month. I never have to worry about buying Poke' Balls. EVER.
Same, must be hard living in remote areas or not having a car though. Where are the free raid pass bundles? Daily free box is a joke
You must not be catching too much I would blow through what you have for poke balls in one Saturday
I’m always out of pokeballs but you will NEVER catch me buying any from the shop

Now??
There are some good boxes out there. There is a 15 passes for 1000~ coins, and a 99 raid passes for 5425, the best I have seen by far
The Costco model? Making me buy crap in bulk thinking I’m getting a deal.
Was the 50 incubators and the 50 super incubator box worth it?
9000 Pokecoins?? when did I mule flake😂😂😂
I buy boxes but chose them wisely
idkkkk if someone gets “scammed” from the %off labels i think that might be user error tbh🤣
So let me guess our dynamax venusaur or blastoise wont be able to gigantamax? Which means we have to grind again ?
Dope vid Ak
YA BOY GOT THAT BLASTOISE HYYYYPPPPEEEE
Are you running the auto catcher 24/7??
the store has been a scam for me personally for years. i am one of the lucky one who has the exact 3 boxes every day for years. i wish they would change it
Start selling rare candy and rare candy xl at this point I’m sure they make a grip
Niantic let current dynamax pokemon also gigantimax....
The gold box is kinda worth the coins tbh
i will never spend a dime on this game, just keep the 50 coin grind, i'd be pissed if i spent money on this game its not worth it
...Now?!? ...😅
I did not spend a single penny in this game! i grind my coins in arenas!
yes
Ive never pay whaled in this game... who would ?
Just open gifts 😂instead of using your poke coins to buy poke balls, I get so many balls from gifts
Haha fake discounts... we been hollerin about this BS
I see that they're claimin raid passes on sale but it's the same price I've paid 2 times already in the last month haha scumbags
The game was rigged from the start. I bought a lot of passes for Zacian and guess what? The moment you do more than one raid per day it raises the difficulty to catch the boss
You think you're getting a discount, but it's actually the original price, just crossed off to trick you!
Got a hundo skwovet 😂😂
Come back from a 3 year break playing Pokemon Go, and this dude is still consistently complaining. The grind is real 😂
And you still run right to his channel, sooooo?
People expressing criticism/caring about the game = complaining
Gotcha
It's scam since day #1
So does this mean they will add Gigantamax Aeturnitus (or however you say his name), then crowned sword and shield zacian and zamazenta?
😂
It definitely is. A 3 pack of premium raid passes was always 250 pokecoins, they just raised the price to 300 and now it says they're 15% off for the low price of 250! They literally think we are stupid.
Huge scam
The shops “discounts” are just showing what the price would be without its discount. It’s for transparency
Poke AKaay 😃
