Hey Trainers! We all know that feeling when something doesn’t go quite right in our favorite games, right? It’s like baking a cake and realizing you forgot the sugar. Well, Niantic has had its little mishap regarding the Charged Embers Hatch Day ticket pricing, but don’t worry, there’s good news on the other side!
Recently, Niantic admitted to a mix-up concerning the Charged Embers Hatch Day Paid Timed Research ticket. Originally priced at $1.99 instead of the intended $0.99, this ticket should have provided some delightful bonuses for trainers looking to hatch Pokémon eggs. Instead, it came with an unexpected set of rewards that left many scratching their heads.
The ticket promised an encounter with Sandygast, two Premium Battle Passes, and an Egg Incubator, all at double the price! Can you imagine? It felt like being served a mystery dish that didn’t match the menu description at your favorite restaurant.
Fortunately, Niantic has taken steps to rectify this situation. They released a statement acknowledging the error and have outlined how they plan to compensate affected trainers:
Trainers, there were discrepancies in the listed price and description of the Charged Embers Hatch Day Paid Timed Research ticket in the Shop. The issue has now been resolved. The ticket is now available in the Shop at $0.99, and players will receive the Timed Research and bonus as previously advertised.
Trainers who have already purchased the ticket for $1.99 will receive the following items as a free Shop bundle in the new year for the inconvenience:
– 300 Poké Coins
– 2x Premium Battle Pass
– 1x Incubator
– 1x Sandygast encounterIn addition, anybody who purchased the $1.99 ticket also received these originally intended bonuses and Timed Research rewards:
– 2x Hatch Stardust
– 1x Star Piece
– 1x Super Incubator
– 2,500 XPPlease stay tuned for more information about how this free bundle will be distributed. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.
This resolution feels like finding a forgotten snack at home and makes up for those mix-ups! If this blunder has impacted you, or you want to enjoy what’s coming next from Niantic, keep an eye out for updates on how to claim your rewards.
