Removal of Excellent Throws for Masterwork in Pokémon Go

Megapet88888888

Hey, so as a fan of Pokémon, and collecting exclusive or rare forms, I had given into the pay walled shiny Mythical Pokémon, in the hopes of sending them to my main games.

However, as I soon found out, there are rather excessively challenging tasks, that feel kinda much to a casual player, like myself. Don't get me wrong, I love having some challenges when I'm catching Pokémon, but over three hundred Excellent Throws, just to move onto the next step? I'm lucky if I even get one a day… That's on the Wish Granted Masterwork Research.

On Glimmers of Gratitude, I finally finished up the catch challenge for the four hundred or so Pokémon, and saw that I needed forty Excellent Curveball Throws. Those are just as impossible, as a basic Excellent Throw.

I like a challenge, but when I pay for something, I paid for it because I want to actually obtain it. These tasks feel like it'll never end.

Also, I haven't come across any for Masterwork Research, yet... But, I can't participate in Mega Raids, as I'm not strong enough to face them on my own, don't have any IRL friends to play Pokémon Go with, not able to obtain enough coins to get Remote Raid Passes, and any rare time I'm near a powerful Raid, no one's really around, due to being in a rural area. So, I sincerely hope there's no major Raid tasks, either...

Sidenote: Also, can we please see a collaboration between Pokémon Go and Pokémon Masters EX? I'd love to see a Sync Pair of Professor Willow & Meltan (or Melmetal), Blanche & Lapras, Spark & Elekid, Candela & Ponyta, Team Go Rocket Leaders (Sierra, Arlo, Cliff), Ultra Recon Squad Rhi, and Mateo.

Also, I'm still waiting for the rest of the Ultra Recon Squad to appear on Pasio... I wanna team up with Zossie.

Thanks for the response.

Also, I'm constantly reaching out to support about ideas and suggestions for the games. And frankly this wasn't the first time I mentioned these things. I also reached out to the specific support for each game, so this way they'd both be aware. (Most of this response is focused on my sidenote.)

I also recently reached out to the main support that you shared, to suggest potentially bringing Pasio to a mainline game, as I felt it would be amazing to team up with everyone. Some changes might have to occur in order for the story of Masters EX to work in the mainline games, but it's actually pretty simple to merge it with mild story tweaking and as long as you know the timeline of events... Which after falling off the game due to lack of space and stuff on my device in the past, I'm kinda lost on some of the details.

But some fun ways the game could be tweaked:

• Is by having the characters join the Player through a story-based Scout, where after you play through their story, you can Scout them, and they'd be available to choose from whenever you partake in a non-story focused scout.
• By allowing players to be able to collect or purchase 'replicas' of their special apparel, Sygna Suits, etc, either from different style shops, maybe from the recently introduced Hyperspace, or from the Sync Pairs themselves. (Though, if we got it from the different shops, it'd be great to finally put a face to the designer of the Sygna Suits.)
• Is by instead of controlling the other Sync Pairs, we'd only control ourselves, but we'd be able to learn a pattern from our allies, as we attempt to battle in Sync with them. (Ash-Greninja would be perfect to properly exemplify the power of a Sync Pair, in these types of Pokémon Battles.) We could still use Sync Moves and such, but yeah. It'd be easier to actually battle, than to have to do overly complicated calculations, especially if you're a casual player, like myself. (It says Rated E for Everyone, yet I still haven't beaten any of the Challenge the Strong battles, in Masters EX. Some battles in Masters EX, pretty much need very specific Sync Pairs, making it difficult to progress further, for players like me.)
• By allowing us to actually raise our own Pokémon and choosing whatever Pokémon we want.
• By granting us TMs of all the unique moves from Sync Pairs all over Pasio, perhaps gifted to us as rewards, by each designated Sync Pair.
• Is we could trigger "A Day with..." whenever, after we've scouted the designated Sync Pair. And it'd be triggered the same way as they were triggered in Pokémon Masters, whether we were asked to join them, stumbled across them, or whatever. (And we could visit the Trainer Lodge and interact a little more regularly, than in Masters EX.)
• Is we could work on our own stats, but the allied Sync Pairs stats are adjusted to follow the story, or to match the Player's. (One or the other.)
• Is we arrive at the same time as Scottie and/or Bettie, rather than replacing them. (This would allow for the characters to still exist, without us having to become them, in order to play the game.) We'd get "A Day with..." interaction with them as well, as we explore Pasio further.

(Sidenote: I really hope we can get Ash-Greninja to become available in the newer games, as I really want to get back to using mine. He's just sitting in Home... Bored... Wanting to battle, but unable to use his Battle Bond... Let us use our Battle Bond and transform him into Ash-Greninja again.)

I'm actually working on a major side project, of collecting as much of each bit of story and attempting to carefully merge them all into a single Pokémon game concept. It's still a work in progress, but I'm excited to share it, in the hopes of seeing it appear as a fully playable game, at some point. It'd incorporate things from the manga, anime, movies, games, spin-offs, shorts (not the ones that one Bug Catcher kept going on about), and even referencing other things as well.

This major project, would merge things in a similar fashion of how I described the Masters EX tweaking. And, also incorporate Pokémon Go, as we travel explore each region and complete each task for Professor Willow. Some of the rewards might be a tad different though, as a lot of them, are wild Pokémon encounters. Not getting rid of the encounters altogether, but maybe making a clear explanation for the encounters, or having the encounters be coincidental or something, through the story.

Anyway, those are just some other ideas. I have lots more, I'm still working on, and plenty I've just yet to share. But, thanks again for the response. I sincerely appreciate it.
