Pokémon Go Faces Backlash Over Master Ball Pricing
Pokémon Go players are expressing frustration and disappointment following the announcement of the $7.99 pricing for the upcoming Master Ball Special Research. Scheduled for release on November 22, 2023, the paid content includes a Master Ball and 200k XP.
While Pokémon Go often offers free Research Tasks, some exclusive ones require additional payment. The Master Ball Special Research’s comparatively high cost has triggered backlash among players, with many deeming it “insanely expensive.”
Social media platforms are buzzing with reactions, with users sharing their discontent over the pricing strategy. One player commented, “$8 for a Master Ball and 200k XP is insanely expensive, wtf.” Another expressed surprise, stating, “I thought it was $4.99. Now it is $7.99. But still, it is easier and cheaper than the time-limited one. Ironic!”

Some players feel uneasy about the pricing, particularly considering the perceived ease of obtaining the Master Ball through the paid quest line compared to other limited research options. The absence of raids in the paid quest line has also raised questions among the player community.
The Special Research: Master Ball is currently available for purchase in the Pokémon Go store, and its contentious pricing continues to fuel discussions within the gaming community.
