Recent Pokémon Updates: Scarlet and Violet Gamers Call for Tera Raid Improvements While Go Players Criticize Aggravating Gym Mechanic

Trouble in Pokémon World: Fans Demand Fixes

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet fans are upset. They say it’s too hard to join Tera Raids online. They want Nintendo and Game Freak to fix this fast.

Pokémon Go players are also unhappy. They say gym defenses are not fair. Once they assign Pokémon to a gym, they can’t use them again. And they can’t get them back either.

That’s not all. Players are upset they can’t evolve some special Pokémon. This includes Shiny Pokémon wearing hats or costumes.

Long Waits Spoil the Fun

Since Pokémon Scarlet and Violet’s release, Tera Raid matchmaking has been slow. Some fans wait over an hour to join a raid. They beg Nintendo and Game Freak for a solution.

Many players share this frustration. But, some doubt a fix will ever come.

Gym Woes in Pokémon Go

Gym battles should be fun, right? But, many trainers find it frustrating. Their Pokémon get stuck defending gyms for too long. They feel helpless.

Some say we should be able to recall Pokémon from gyms. Or, Pokémon should return on their own after some time.

Costume Trouble

Pokémon Go players love catching Pokémon in special outfits. But there’s a downside. These costumed Pokémon can’t evolve. This is frustrating, especially if it’s a Shiny Pokémon.

One trainer shared how their Shiny Kirlia, wearing a hat, can’t evolve. They may have to wait a long time to catch another Shiny Kirlia.

Some hope Niantic will let these Pokémon evolve in the future. But, there’s no promise it will happen soon.
