Pokemon Go Fans Disappointed With December Community Day

20.12.2021 Comment Views: 11

Each month, Pokemon Go hosts a Community Day making a different Pokemon much more common, and making it easier to find Shiny variations. December was a different story, however, focusing instead on making all of this year’s previous options available at the same time. In theory, it should have been a fun way for players to get a second chance at those they missed the first time around, but a lot of players weren’t crazy about how it all worked out. Some felt that this month’s option fell flat, while others wish it had taken place earlier in the month.

With December’s Community Day in the books, it will be interesting to see if Niantic does the same thing next year, or if the developer opts to go with a more traditional Community Day, instead. Clearly, a lot of players weren’t thrilled with how the event turned out, so we’ll just have to wait and see what happens. Fortunately, it’s a safe bet that Community Days will go back to normal next month!

It was boring if you kept up with previous events.

I’m going to be blunt. Holiday event ruined by continuous community day spawns. I get it, people missed community days and need to make up for lost time. You’re burning you patrons who didn’t miss those days and paid attention to the scheduling of the events. #Niantic #PokemonGO

The timing could have been better!

No because it is the weekend before Christmas and folks with families are BUSY! Not the best chosen day for a community day fellas, really would have been better to have this at the start of the month.

Some think it was the worst Community Day yet…

Been playing since 2017 and have never missed a community day. But this dec community has too be the worst literally nothing truly worth value too me. So sad cause cday is one of my fav events each month. Plus since it’s usually the only good event lately. Ur really failing

…and others weren’t happy with the previous 11, either.

This December Community Day has been the worst Dec Comm Day – because we had (on average) the worst 11 options yet leading up to it. Niantic has doubled down on their bad decisions instead of choosing to play the hits. #PokemonGO

Shinies are supposed to be the big draw for these events!

Did @NianticLabs / @PokemonGoApp forget it’s Community Day weekend? After the first 20min, haven’t seen the first dang shiny in over 200pokemon -.-

Maybe next month will be better.

Can officially say this #PokemonGO community day sucked. All day and not one shiny

Was it really worse than sock folding?

What a boring community day, I separated and folded my socks and had more fun doing that, step your game up Niantic

Hopefully, they’ll pick some exciting options in 2022.

This community day reminded me of how boring the events were, felt like only gible and shinx were worth catching. Hopefully next year com days are a little more exciting.
