Safety Concerns with Campfire App Among Pokémon Go Players
Players of Pokémon Go are worried about safety risks with the new Campfire app. Some reports say it’s being used to set up robberies.
Pokémon lovers are asking Game Freak to add a New Game Plus mode. They want more replay value in the games, like other titles have.
Many think Niantic has lowered the catch rate for Elite Raids in Pokémon Go, from six percent to two percent. Yet, not everyone agrees.
The Problem With Campfire App
Players have shared scary stories about the app. They say some use it to trick players into dangerous spots at night.
Posts online support these claims. Some saw fake alerts for late-night raids in unsafe places. A few players went and had to run when they saw someone suspicious.
Others think these dangers are not as common as feared. Such events have happened before Campfire existed and could happen through other apps too. Still, the issue worries many.
Call for New Game Plus in Pokémon Games
Long-time fans feel the main Pokémon series lacks late-game activities. They talk about this often.
Game Freak tried adding new features in Scarlet and Violet, like gym leader rematches. Players liked it.
But fans want more. They say a New Game Plus mode would make the games more fun to play again and easier for challenge runs.
Confusion Over Elite Raids Catch Rate Change
Apart from other issues, players noticed a change in how often they catch Pokémon in Elite Raids, with no announcement.
Players who checked this say the catch rate went down from six percent to two percent. This rate used to be for EX Raids, not Legendary ones.
Not everyone is sure this change is real. Some believe the initial rate was just to get players interested. They think catching Pokémon in Elite Raids is just a bonus, according to Niantic.
Others argue there was no nerf at all. They believe the catch rate depends on the Pokémon, not the raid type. That’s the real story, they say.
