Feel free to share your thoughts below.

I’ve bought a couple of raid passes and balls at one point. Then a pass for the Go Tour, and couple of special missions for mythicals that I need for Home. But otherwise, I just try to stay f2p now. I only buy event passes or the occasional mission for a rare mythical.

I generally would spend money when they had good bundles that included a lot of incubators. It was a fun game that kept me outside for long periods of time so I didn’t feel bad about putting money into it. I don’t play anymore because I get too addicted to it and I have enough addictions at the moment :sweat_smile:

$50 is probably a low threshold lol. There are people who spend thousands

If I edit the poll will it delete previous entries?

Yes

Never on Pokemon Go. Now Pokemon Sleep, I’m a Premium subscriber every 6 months for $50. Totally worth it for Sleep. It’s a fantastic game and the devs really appreciate their customers.

I’ve remained free to play so far with Sleep but your’e right, its an excellent game! It’s sort of replaced Pokemon Go as my daily Pokemon app.

I’m probably at around $100-$150. I like the Go Tour and Go Fest events. Before going to Japan last year I spent about $20 on increasing storage so I could Go Plus + everything as I walked around the cities. For the enjoyment I get out of playing the game casually its been well worth it.

Once to hatch some eggs really early on during some egg event - they hatched trash and then I never spent a cent on it again despite playing for like 5 years or so. Stopped playing a few years back now though.

I play most days, genuine question - what do you spend money on? Is it remote raid passes or storage upgrades?

I haven’t played in a while (I do plan on playing again lol) but I think I’ve spent over $100 on Go, maybe $150ish. Lately I just buy more box space and bag space, but in the past I’d buy remote raid passes frequently. I also liked to get tickets for events if I know I’ll be playing. But Niantic has been bothering me lately with their choices in the last 1.5 years, so I have bought less event tickets.

I funded Pokemon Go with whatever I would get from Google Opinion Rewards, so it didn’t feel like real money. Probably around $100 though, usually just spent on bag space and the occasional raid pass, but when I got close to level 40 bought more boxes for lucky eggs and boosts.

The majority of my purchases have been for event tickets and an occasional storage space increase.
