Pok\u00e9mon Go <\/em>players tried their best to enjoy the Shadow Mewtwo raids on May 27 and 28, but they claim the experience was soured by a number of issues and bugs, and they\u2019re not happy about it. Some even threatened to quit due to the disappointment of missing out on catching one.<\/p>
Niantic acknowledged the issue via a tweet<\/a> on May 28, claiming it had received a number of reports. The company suggested restarting the app and rejoining the raid fixed it for some people, but it didn\u2019t work for everyone<\/a>.<\/p>
Another issue was that some players weren\u2019t receiving XL Rare Candy<\/a> at all despite finishing the raid multiple times. This led to some confusion about whether they were even supposed to be available at all, with some players concluding Niantc must have turned them off<\/a>. One player even reached out to customer support, but the answer wasn\u2019t helpful at all<\/a>.<\/p>
The fact the raids were local only also added to their woes, especially for those who lived in areas with small communities<\/a>. The player count has reportedly declined<\/a> after thousands of players quit to protest the Remote Raid Pass changes, and it\u2019s taken a toll on local raid populations<\/a>. Some players missed out on catching Shadow Mewtwo because of this. They were so upset by it, they decided to quit.<\/p>
\u201cSo after seven and a bit years, I am done,\u201d one player<\/a> said. \u201cCongrats to everyone that managed to get your Shadow Mewtwos. After two days hunting for an in person raid in two small cities, [it was] a waste of time. I personally feel like I am being punished like many others who went out trying to find groups and sat in lobbies to see nothing.\u201d Others were in the same boat<\/a>.<\/p>
The community was already furious<\/a> over Niantic\u2019s response to the HearUsNiantic movement<\/a> on May 18, and just when it looked like the company was on the road to potentially making amends, tempers flared up again.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
