Pokemon GO simply launched its new leveling replace, which raised the extent cap from 50 to 80 and gave gamers who have been underneath that new threshold a lift. A part of that enhance was a smoothing of the leveling course of to make sure that gamers discover the ramps between ranges slightly simpler to climb. And a byproduct of that smoothing was that gamers who have been underneath stage 50 immediately noticed their stage soar up dramatically. For instance, I used to be stage 35 in Pokemon GO earlier than the replace, and post-update, I jumped as much as stage 43.
You’ll suppose that this is able to be a great factor throughout the board – a greater leveling course of and a lift to present gamers. And, honestly, there are such a lot of positives concerning the Pokemon GO leveling replace, from the increases to storage to the day by day journey egg, however this preliminary rollout of the replace highlighted a significant downside the sport nonetheless has to at the present time.
In Pokemon GO, Extra Objects Can Imply Extra Issues
Any time {that a} participant ranges up in Pokemon GO, they earn a number of rewards, from cosmetics to Pokeballs, to berries to restorative gadgets. It’s a bounty that, relying in your cupboard space, might be overwhelming or rejuvenating.
If you’re teetering on the sting of full merchandise cupboard space, the gadgets are normally swiftly deleted or much less precious ones are sacrificed of their place. If you’re hurting for Grasp Balls or Max Revives, the extent up rewards are a fine addition to your stock. Now think about gaining two ranges directly. Now think about three. Now think about, in mine and plenty of different gamers’ circumstances, gaining 8 ranges directly!
Why Cannot I Spin Pokestops With Full Merchandise Storage?
At first look, gaining all of this stuff needs to be an enormous boon, no matter if you’re a hardcore or informal Pokemon GO participant. However the issue is that the sport limits one in all its most vital options when your storage is full. You may’t spin Pokestops with full merchandise storage, and spinning Pokestops is vital for a number of causes:
- You may’t earn particular analysis with out spinning Pokestops
- You may’t earn your day by day bonus with out spinning Pokestops
- You may’t earn presents with out spinning Pokestops
- You may’t earn progress on duties that require spinning Pokestops
Shortly after the leveling replace went dwell, social media, boards, and subreddits have been swarmed with Pokemon GO players showing their storage woes. For me, the storage overage was within the 200 vary, however for different gamers it was within the 1000’s.
I can solely think about having to undergo and delete lots of of things in varied classes, simply to create space for a similar kinds of gadgets you get from Pokestops. That’s the actual difficulty: you normally aren’t deleting gadgets to make means for higher gadgets, you’re simply deleting gadgets to open up house to get related or lesser gadgets (e.g., deleting Grasp Balls to then get Pokeballs from Pokestops).
Now, this has been a problem for fairly a while, however normally it’s extra of an inconvenience than it’s a roadblock. You spin a Pokestop and see that your merchandise storage is full, delete a couple of gadgets, after which spin once more. However when you should delete 1000’s of things, that’s much less of a simple repair and is extraordinarily irritating.
If gamers may merely spin Pokestops even when their merchandise storage is full, then this wouldn’t be a problem. The truth is, there may be already a precedent for this sort of function within the sport. For those who toggle on a setting, you possibly can nonetheless open presents even when your merchandise storage is full with the intention to stage up your bond with a pal and earn Stardust. Niantic even at one level had the choice to spin Pokestops with full merchandise storage, however apparently it was too buggy they usually eliminated the function.
Within the grand scheme of participant requests, this may be low on the totem pole, however I do suppose it’s a problem price addressing sooner or later. The loop of catching Pokemon and spinning Pokestops is on the core of Pokemon GO, and this limitation fights towards it. Storage is all the time going to be one thing that Pokemon gamers must cope with, and the answer of using Pokecoins to buy more storage performs into Niantic’s backside line, which is smart for a free-to-play sport.
The October season go gives Pokecoins on its free and premium tracks, so it’s best to be capable of purchase some storage upgrades this month.
By and huge, the Pokemon GO leveling replace is an effective factor, even when this one element led to a variety of frustration among the many extra devoted gamers. Extra ranges to chase, rewards to unlock, and the brand new options are all welcome additions to a sport that’s nonetheless going sturdy practically 10 years later. However please, Niantic, make it so Pokemon GO gamers can spin Pokestops with full merchandise storage.
