6 months without any wishing stone update or acknowledgment is inconsiderate to the community


Recommended Posts

The wishing stone was an annoying 40 hour grind 6 months ago that required sacrificing valuable +20% shiny odds.  However, there has been no communication or even basic acknowledgement from the devs regarding the item.  Will the item ever have a use? What will the nature of the reward be?  Will the reward be implemented in a future event?  This is important because many players assumed the wishing stone would become useful during the lunar new years event, yet all it did was have its sprite changed.

 

TLDR: 6 months without any update or even mention of the wishing stone from the devs is inconsiderate to players who spent 40 hours acquiring the item.

Whatever it is going to be, its reward shouldn’t be something huge like a Pokemon not yet attainable (Jirachi for instance) like it’s been speculated. Or if it is the case, then there should be a way to obtain the Wishing Stone again for those who weren’t aware or didn’t bother to grind for it (at any point in time and not only during an event). Given the very limited information we had at the time and how much grind it required to obtain the Wishing Stone, I don’t think that many players were tempted to go through all the efforts for something seemingly pointless at the time. If the Wishing Stone won’t be made available again then I don’t think I would mind if it were to be an exclusive Alpha version of a Pokemon IF the non-Alpha Pokemon and/or hidden ability are also obtainable by the time its content is made available. It wouldn’t be game breaking but it would be a nice collector and a token for the effort.

The devs not even mentioning the wishing stone for six months is my biggest issue.  Having a 40 hour grind for an item that gave jirachi in pokemon dungeon and then not even mentioning it for months is disrespectful to players’ time.   Because of this the reward will be hard to balance due to it being a one time grind SIX MONTHS ago.  All I really want is just sort of update by the devs such as “hey the wishing stone will be used during the raids update”.  However, the devs not even mentioning the wishing stone for months is rude to the players who worked hard for it six months ago.

If the Devs will not make the 12th Anniversary Event, I'm thinking that if either on Halloween Event or Xmas Event for sure...

 

Halloween Event - If Pumpking Summoned Once Again, i think that Wishing Stone will use on Nerfing the Pumpking Boss & Raids too lol

 

Xmas Event - when Santa Claus, The Elf & Elfbots are Arrived, i think if either this Wishing Stone will Use on Nerfing Raids & Even Elfbots Battle Event or that Wishing Stone has a Chance of Summoning Jirachi or more Legendary Pokémons? Idk about that...

P.S. There's no Chance of adding Dungeons unfortunately... (If the Devs are on Planned now or Not? Because for now, they are still Focus on planning to Add more Raids tbh...)

I think it's best to wait until raids are fully implemented before we start questioning what's going on with the wishing stone, even though it has been a while.

 

I think the stone will be used to unlock a harder raid battle (with people in link) and you'll get better benefits like a chance of higher IVS on the raid Pokémon or something else like more exp candy, not entirely sure though.

Mathematically, just to clarify, it has been 4 months and 24 days since Christmas, not a full 6 months. Personally, I didn't invest time in acquiring the Wishing Stone and don’t have it, but I recognize how important it is for those who did. Many players invested significant time and resources into getting the Wishing Stone, hoping it would have a meaningful use, especially around events like the Lunar New Year. However, without any communication from the developers, it’s hard to know what to expect. That said, your concerns about the lack of communication regarding the Wishing Stone are valid.

I had no idea that the wishing stone existed

Why the hell you farmed that instead of trying for a shiny? lol

Lol, and this is why I didn't waste my time trying to get it. It was either a decade away or something incredibly lackluster. Did you honestly believe it would be delivered in a acceptable time frame?

It's been almost 8 Months since "What to do on Wishing Stone?" & Xmas Event will Arrived within 4 Months!

 

I'm Guessing is when Xmas Event Arrived & the Non Held Players will get that Wishing Stone this time, for us as 1 Year Anniversary Held Items is if either Jirachi or Mew will be Summoned as Interacting Wishing Stone.

 

(I would be Shock if Halloween Event will be Arrived as Wishing Stone might possible to Use already as Unknown Pokémons that we didn't Expect it as Darkrai...)
