"Clearing up the negativity about the new boxes (x-post from r/TheSilphRoad)"

#PokemonGO: There’s been a lot of negativity surrounding the new gift boxes that appeared in the game yesterday, especially from high level players. What many of them don’t seem to realize is that even if you throw away the lucky eggs, the Ultra Box is the best deal on Raid Passes and Super Incubators alone that Pokémon Go has ever had.There have been a few breakdowns of the boxes that compare the full prices and the perceived values of the items in them, but I wanted to lay out the math so that my fellow trainers don’t miss out on a great deal just because other people don’t want some of the items in the boxes.The Math:Super Incubators: 160 coins at their lowest price ever in the Special Equinox gift boxes160 x 6 = 960Raid Passes: 80 coins at their lowest price ever in the Special Go Fest Anniversary gift boxes80 x 10 = 800Total: 1760Actual price of the Christmas Ultra Box: 1680TL;DR You’re basically getting the best deal they’ve ever had plus Lucky Eggs and Star Pieces for free. via /r/pokemongo http://ift.tt/2Cbmfyg
