I participated the Go Fest makeup event, but did not get the freebies of 2 remote raid pass & incense, as I only opened the box at the end of the event & the system indicated it as ‘error’….. Since it was a box as ‘free’ with no indication of a time limit, it is very misleading & I am disappointed that I did not get my free items. What is the possibility of a second-chance gift box? Thank you .

My family and i have 8 accounts and all those accounts had the same problem as everyone else on that day. No shiny encounter the whole day we were out trying to catch with incence and luring up stops. Watching other people putting all these shinies up on the main chat for my area and my family could not find one. We meet up with some friends during the day and they where having the same problem.. My partner and my children got so bord with the game that i had to look after all accounts trying to catch , for the money i had put into it, it was upsetting not to get any shiny that weekend.

I already left a comment but forgot to mention that shinys weren’t coming up either. The first day my bf got 1 shiny I got 4. I know that they are random but for having to pay and with all the pokemon that whole day we should ave gotten more. During community day we get a lot more and thats a free event for 6 hours. Very disappointing experience. Just a waste of money because we didn’t really get anything.

In reply to Ryan. This was our first pogo fest and was pretty disappointed . The first day my friends list wasn't loading so was unable to send gifts for awhile. The spawns were happening but would click on some mons and they would just vanish. Would do a Groudon raid and and would get kicked out or it would freeze. So our passes were pretty much a waste. We spent quite a bit of money for this event and felt a little ripped off. The eggs that were hatching were the same as always, not the mons that was said were goin to hatch during the event. If I would have know that I would not have purchased all those incubators. The second day was disappointing as well. It would have been nice to get those rotating spawns again but instead it was all about team rocket and fighting Arlo cliff and Sierra. We do those all the time for free so having to pay for an event and having to do that was disappointing. The raids the second day were great. However they still would freeze up or we would get kicked out. I really wished this experience would have been better but I really dont see us participating in anymore , felt it was a waste of money especially since the second day everyone was able to pretty much catch what was out the first day for free except for the evolved versions . I feel that Niantic wasn't very honest about what was really going to hatch from eggs and happen on those days just to have us spend money on the game.

Yes I encountered 2-3 times using a Remote Raid Pass. The game Froze when we beat Dialga and Palkia. I had to restart the game thank goodness I was not that far from the gym so I was able to still walk and and the Dialga was still there but when I tried walking back for the Palkia it didn’t give me the option to catch it. Kinda strange as well I got invited to a Raid over in Australia and I used my remote pass but once my Pokemons died it didn’t allow me to go back. I had to purchase more raid passes and that was the only time it allowed me to finish the battle. I think that was Not Cool. It should just allow you to finish the battle with just 1 Remote Pass not 2 or more. Very disappointing.

I got thrown out of two raids without the ability to get back in, and I’m a third raid, the battle finished but froze at the rewards screen, not allowing the chance to catch it. That third raid was particularity vexing as it was a mon I’d been waiting a long time for.

Yes, I had problems. I had to restar the game all the time. The game froz many times if there were shiny pokemons . It was enojoying. It often happens on days with shiny pokemons.
