Pokémon GO-Fans sind nicht glücklich über Niantics Entschuldigung für das verpfuschte Zorua-Event
Bereits im Oktober 2022, a Pokémon GO event called the Shuppet Spotlight Hour took place, with a “besondere” Überraschung für die Teilnehmer. Niantic ended up cancelling this special surprise at the last minute, but not before those in the GMT +13 time zone in Australia and New Zealand saw it, which meant that the surprise was spoiled.
The surprise was angeblich to be an encounter with the Pokémon Zorua, but a bug meant that Zorua would take its moveset, CP, and height from your Buddy Pokémon, allowing some trainers to catch a very beefy Zorua indeed. In response, Niantic removed the ability to actually use or trade the Pokémon, and cancelled the surprise for everyone else, although the Shuppet Spotlight Hour event still went on as otherwise planned.
Auf 15 November 2022, Niantic issued an apology to Pokémon GO players in the form of a free item bundle, which contained the following:
- Star Piece x1
- Poké Ball x20
- Lure Module x1
The Zoruas that exist in players’ inventories already have had their stats corrected, zu, which means that Zorua can now be used in the Battle League, gehandelt, or transferred to Pokémon HOME.
Many players were unimpressed by Niantic’s gesture. TrippySubie on Reddit described the offering as “a piece of tree bark, a salt packet from McDonalds, and a bottle cap,” and Dengarsw on the same thread said that they were hoping for something more useful, “like Incense [oder] a Lucky Egg.” FunTooter put it more simply: “This is the most useless crap.”
Not all fans are disappointed, obwohl. Immerhin, most players didn’t even get a chance to catch Zorua in the first place. Many people are pointing out that a free box of items is better than no apology at all, and others are quite glad to have a star piece for free.
