Pokémon Go Doubles Community Ticket Price to $2

Niantic introduces new rewards and features for January's Community Day but faces criticism over reduced event value.

Pokémon Go's Community Day ticket price has increased from $1 to $2, starting with the January 5 event featuring Sprigatito.
The event now includes a Premium Battle Pass as part of the ticket, a reward that is typically valued at $1 in the in-game store.
Other changes include new free Timed Research, paid Special Research, and rare Field Research, according to Niantic's announcement.
Community Days have faced criticism for reduced timeframes (now three hours) and the removal of storylines and raid hours, which previously added value to the events.
Niantic states that these changes are experimental and may be reevaluated in future seasons, though players have expressed frustration over the perceived decline in event quality.
