Held the weekend before last, Pokémon Go Tour: Kanto was a special day for fans of the mobile game Pokémon Go. Celebrating Pokémon’s 25th anniversary, it came with the promise of being able to catch all 150 of the original Pokémon, thanks to the recent addition of previously regional exclusive Pokémon. More than that, if you gave Niantic money, it would be even more unique and different with special perks, challenges to complete and more.
The first problem was that entry to this event was not only semi-paywalled, but that this paywall was roughly 15 times higher than normal. Where a standard Community Day typically costs £0.79, this was £11.99, similar to last year’s virtual Pokémon Go Fest – that’s a lot of money for a day’s entertainment for some. It also demanded that you play with friends if you had any chance of catching them all, and last I checked, Covid-19 is still a thing.
