Pokemon Go’s Bonus Has Fans Wondering Why It’s Not Been Implemented into the Game Years Ago

Pokemon Go is a title that was all the rage when it first came out in 2016. With time, its popularity has gone down, but it has still been a title that has stood the test of time in terms of quality.

With a massive player base, players frequently share their takes on the latest updates and bonuses. Recently, a player shared a tip to obtain bonus candies, which are used to strengthen one’s Pokemon.

Helpful Tip Allows Players to Get In-Game Candies as Part of Pokemon Go Excellent Throw Bonus

Palworld gave tough competition to the Pokemon IP, but now people are moving on from the Pocketpair title and returning to the mobile game. Anyone who plays Pokemon Go knows that candies are a handy resource in the game. They are consumable by Pokemon and allow them to level up in strength.

A lot of the time, players have to rely on egg hatches to obtain them. However, players can find random bonuses while attempting to catch Pokemon. Shortly after, a good Samaritan on the game’s subreddit shared a neat tip and a guide on getting more candies by executing better throws:

Another key takeaway from the post was to ensure that players used pinap berries fed to the Pokemon the player wanted to capture. After doing so, the players will receive double the amount of candies if they can capture the Pokemon in the next attempt.

A player stated that this temporary bonus should instead be turned into a permanent mechanic in the video game as it would help with player progression:

Players of the game have previously expressed dissatisfaction with how it distributes rewards with egg hatches. So, it seems like there needs to be some work done with the incentives the game provides to the player to grind it out.

If Made Into a Permanent Mechanic, Pokemon Go’s Candy Bonus Would Help With Player Sentiment

The game has stayed relevant for quite some time but needs to fix its reward systems. Image Credits: Nintendo.

Unsurprisingly, all live service games use an incentive system to keep players returning for more. To elevate the element of surprise, some games also resort to lootboxes and random reward systems.

Pokemon Go was recently criticized for being shady with its random reward systems. Players felt like an RNG (Random Number Generator) was implemented under the hood by Niantic. Since the rewards were not linked to the grind, it discouraged them from spending more hours in the game.

If the game had the excellent throw bonus as a permanent mechanic or the team came up with a way to reward players for their grind, it would help with player retention.
