Pokemon Go Promises to "Make Good" Following Go Fest 2024 Issues

As a dedicated Pokemon Go player with years of experience under my belt, I was truly disappointed and disheartened by the mishap during Pokemon Go Fest 2024: Global. The inability to obtain Special Backgrounds from Remote Raids on the first day of the event was not only frustrating but felt like a slap in the face for those who had spent their hard-earned money on Remote Raid passes, expecting a unique and exciting experience.


During Pokemon Go Fest 2024: Global in early June, some gamers encountered an annoying problem on the event’s first day. To their disappointment, Special Backgrounds for Remote Raids weren’t activated, contrary to Niantic’s initial announcement. Angered players expressed their concerns on social media platforms for several days. Today, Niantic acknowledged this issue via a statement on Twitter and promised an amendment or “make good” for the inconvenience caused. However, we are yet to learn about the specific measures Niantic intends to take to appease affected players.

Niantic acknowledges the concerns and queries from trainers about not receiving Special Backgrounds from Remote Raids during Pokemon GO Fest 2024: Global on Day 1. Rest assured, we’re looking into this matter diligently and will keep you updated with a solution soon. Your patience is appreciated.

As a dedicated Pokemon Go player during the Fest event, I was thrilled to discover Ultra Beasts with unique backgrounds unlike their regular counterparts. For instance, Necrozma, which typically sports a Psychic-type backdrop, instead showcased a star-studded night sky and an Ultra Wormhole as its Special Background. These elusive backgrounds were intended to be rare finds, similar to the excitement of encountering a Shiny Pokemon, but not excessively so that players stood no chance at all. Despite having no influence on gameplay, these Special Backgrounds added an extra layer of visual appeal and excitement to my gaming experience.

Many players have expressed disappointment with Niantic’s recent changes to Remote Raids, which they believe have diminished the enjoyment of this feature over the past year. These issues have only added fuel to rumors that Niantic may be intentionally making these changes. Some speculate that Niantic might make amends for this issue with a special event day. However, this wouldn’t address the concern of players who spent money on Remote Raid passes during the affected period. It is hoped that Niantic will find a solution to appease players and prevent similar problems from arising in the future.
