I recognize that Niantic has done a lot of bullshit lately, but I just want to take a second to grant them some praise for a second:
They've finally reworked the fucking field research for once!
>"Catch a dragon-type" quest can now give Axew, Dratini or Bagon
>"Make 3 Excellent Throws in a row" quest can now give Larvitar, Beldum or Gible
>"Make 3 Great Throws" now has more to offer than just Snubbull and Hoenn fossils (they now supposedly only have Kanto fossils though, Hoenn fossil are "Make 3 Great Throws in a row")
>"Win a Level 3 or higher raid" will now ONLY give Unova fossils
>10 Mega energy "Power up Pokémon 5 times" quests can now offer Manectric and Aggron energy in addition to the possibility of just Kanto starters, Pidgeot and Beedrill
>25 Mega energy "Power up Pokémon 10 times" quests are now available for 3 different species (currently Aerodactyl, Houndoom and Ampharos)
>More tasks in general have been added or old tasks have been given more variety (either for better or for worse) so that there's more of a reason to work hard at completing as many as you can
While it does suck that certain field research won't be as farmable as they used to be, I'm glad that there's more variety overall so that I'm not expecting the exact same shit every single time I do something like "Hatch an Egg" or "Catch 7 Pokémon".
>That just means more shit options clogging things up
Frankly, I like the new selection, even if not all of these Pokémon are particularly useful.
