Fans of Pokémon Go remain skeptical of Adventure Effects, wondering if the new feature offers enough value to justify its cost.
Adventure Effects are a new feature in Pokémon Go that gives even more value to certain legendary Pokémon. When activated, they provide bonuses that improve gameplay.
This feature launched alongside Dialga and Palkia in their Origin form, each of their signature attacks triggering unique Adventure Effects. The Time Pokémon stops timers on Incense, Lucky Eggs, and Star Pieces, while the Space Pokémon increases the encounter distance of wild Pokémon.
However, these effects only last six to ten minutes and require both Stardust and Candies to activate. This high cost now has the community wondering if Adventure Effects are even worth using.
Expensive Adventure Effects Leave Pokémon Go Fans Skeptical
Unimpressed with the new Adventure Features, one trainer asked on Reddit: “Is it just me, or are these ‘Adventure Features’ with Palkia and Dialga in Original form just not worth the cost in your opinion?”»
Is it me, or are these “Adventure Features” with Origin Palkia and Dialga just not worth the cost in your opinion? byu/Kangabolic inTheSilphRoad
Although appreciating the principle of the feature, this user did not appreciate the value it provides: “…just 10 minutes for Palkia’s buff and 6 for Dialga at a cost of 5 candies and 5k Stardust? For me, the price for such a small amount of time is nowhere worth it, especially since it’s candy and premium Stardust.»
Admitting that they don’t see themselves using it much either, one player responded: “With the current cost, I’d probably need some ‘study’ where its use is required – and then I’ll do it once…»
Another trainer insisted, “I’ll probably never use them as long as they’re this expensive,”before elaborating, “…the only thing worth freezing time for would be adventure incense.”I already don’t use it every day, so I’m not losing anything here. Increasing the spawn radius might be fun sometimes but, again, not for this price.»
The scathing comments continued with others saying outright: “They look terrible, and I won’t use them until they’re redesigned,”and “It will be forgotten and unused after a week anyway.”»
Upon release, Mega Evolutions were comparable to Adventure Features, being considered too expensive for the benefits they provided. In response to these complaints, Niantic made Mega Evolution cheaper, so it’s possible that a similar change could happen again.
