For those who dont understand why us "greedy" grinders ask for compensation let me explain... Catching these swarms have costs. Time and money. Lets say at best one swarm (4 pokemons) caught with quickballs will cost around 5k pokeyen and around 5 minutes to catch them. Now lets do the calculations. For 480 pokemon(120 Swarms) that was needed for 12 tablets before the patch, your cost of time will be at least 10 hours (and that if you are super efficient and hunt only quick ball swarms, which lets face its like 20% of all the swarms that spawing in this event) and a total pokeyen cost of 600k pokeyen (assuming you catch all 480 pokemons on the first ball) 60 Cherish balls as a reward will give you lets say 50k per ball, 3 million pokeyen in total. So taking out your 600k cost of perfect quick ball catches, you look at 2,4 million pokeyen profit in total. So if we do EVERYTHING perfect, we look at a profit of 240k pokeyen per HOUR . Do you see it now? No Grinder did this for the Cherish balls. We couldnt care less. Give us 288 pokemon to turn in for all 12 tablets and we will stop there and continue grind something else. Okay so we expected a better reward for this grind. That was a gamble from the start and its NOT why we complain. The main issue is that IF given the choice to stop at 288, many or all of us would have stopped turning in mons at 288. Thats extra 4 hours of our lives (way more to be precise cause who is perfect) that the new patch DE-valued! And thats why the "no compensation" thing feels like a middle finger. Because the devs are straight up saying "We do not care about the extra time you have put in the granny. We made a mistake. Deal with it."

I dont think the problem is the delay, rather than the miscommunication about the date. I saw a lot of people saying they took day off from work just to be in PokeMMO the first days of the event. Of course some wrong goes to them as well by assuming on their own that the event will start first day of LNY. Personally i ll have a tonsillectomy on Monday so i was excited that i will spend the last days before the surgery playing the event, getting my mind of the surgery and stuff... Didnt happen. I was going to be much happier if i had just one post from a moderator letting the community know about the date of the event. Even if this date was postponed again and again, i would not only understand those decisions but respect the communication they have with the playerbase about the dates. For me its not tiresome to present delay after delay. Of course for some people it would be frustrating, but i believe they wouldn't consider the fact that its better to have information from the devs, rather than assumptionts on when the event will start. Apart from all of that, of course i m not blaming the devs at any point cause even with those cons, PokeMMO is still one of the few games that actively listens to the community and i really believe that this update might be game changing so the workload of it might be huge. Just a little heads up would be nice ❣️

"Hoard enough of them" wouldn't be an option since, if applicable like i suggested, you would get 4 per character per month but "Untreatable" . Meaning you would get what? One E4 in only one (Maybe 2) region rerun for free per character per month? Doesnt sound gamebraking to me, rather than a nice small bonus for me to climb all the way there and fight the birdy..

Ho-oH rematch difficulty is fine imo. As said by @Munya , and i totally agree, its not supposed to be easy. Its endgame content. Apart from that tho, i would suggest a quick travel to it. The tower climb is a pain.. I am not sure if and how would be possible tho... As for the rewards, at least a sacred fire guaranteed would be a nice add-on and not something that would break the game imo as it is untradable and would make the Ho-oH rematch a little bit more appealing and worth the trouble.

Hey Bert! Awesome guide dude, thanks for all the help you provide! I wanted to ask you about the turn 2 of phase 3 and the x boosts. You mention in the guide depending on what stat will fall on hydreigon will use either x Attack on Tyr or x Accuracy on Hydreigon. Could you cover all the possibilities of fallen stats? For me on my first run now i got Speed fell and i m kinda stuck 😛 dont know what to do

Could someone tell me what is the special bonus? Sry for asking smthing so simple i am new in these events :P

I totally agree! And i am surprised it to see after one year that nothing changed.. Cynthia was one of my favourite (and also worst cause garchomp jesus op..) champs i ever fought in my favourite gen also. I believe i m not the only one with 4th gen being my favourite... At least until 4th gen is implement let us have this joy of rebattling her!
