Austin's Shiny Showcase
 
Currently owned OT:

Sold banished to the shadow realm:

Given away:

Current Hunts:
5x Horde: 
3x Horde:  
Singles: 
Eggs: 
 
As you can tell I used to not value my OT shinies x)

I just found out that there are people with multiple Raikous and Moltres and so on. That’s just crazy. Lol. Each trainer should only be able to own 1 of each legendary dog/bird … so all 6 but only 1 time. No duplicates.
 
 That will help with the “legendary sink” problem. Those that already have multiple should be given the GTL minimum and the mon washed from their boxes.

I think this reply summarises what can be said about the situation. We understand your concerns, but we will not offer compensation. 
Have a nice day!

I don’t think it’s too much to ask for a slight compensation. We grinded for the tablets, sure those cherish balls are nice but those weren’t the main reason for the grind.
Now the time spent for all tablets has been halved and jokes on those who spent 40 hours, now that it can be done in 24 hours.
 
Why even reduce the number of Pokemon in the first place? It’s like showing the middlefinger to those who were ready to grind and sink the time.
 
However, the reward vanity is the traditional lunar new year outfit with some oversized sweatpants which may justify lowering the number swarms to catch. Would have been nice to know upfront though so we’d know what to expect and not end up more disappointed.
 
Nobody asked for a shiny as compensation. 5 additional cherish balls may have calmed the masses.
 
The initial thread was closed and that’s it, which we’ll have to respect. The whole thing could still have been handled better.

Now there's no doubt dug is broken:
  
This is a problem: Dugtrio can trap and kill a mon, and now it can bring another to 1 HP before faints. Basically, not only you need to be careful of the mon you're placing on the field, now dug can also force you to place a priority user mon on the field after he kills something because anything else would be knocked down to 1 HP only. He now gets 2 mons for the cost of 1.
