"Niantic is constantly accused of being incompetent. I never really bought into that until this event."

#PokemonGO: Basically the title. Casual player, almost level 29. Have usually been one to give Niantic the benefit of the doubt in their many questionable decisions. But even I cannot fathom how they could put on an event in which one of the main components is "make Pokémon that are already common in your area even more common — as long as they're pink." That is so stupid that it would stand out as a low point in the ramblings of a raving lunatic. I cannot imagine how a group of professional — and by almost any metric, successful — game developers could agree that is a great idea to build a weeklong event around.Some part of me is holding out hope that maybe the biome thing is a glitch they are working to correct and make this event more like the Halloween spawns. But it probably isn't. In which case, thanks for the double candy and quadruple Slowpokes, I guess.Edit: minor text fixes via /r/pokemongo http://ift.tt/2l2r9ol
