So it looks like we're about to fail yet another global mission in the festival plaza.

GF really overestimated how much people would give a shit about the festival plaza and their global missions.

But hey, one good thing came out of this. On the official site they released 5 reusable QR codes that give 20 island scan points each.

Something nice while we wait for bank to open up for Gen 7.

Pic related.

So what do you anons think the issue is with how these first two missions have gone? Setting the target too high or making the reward not worth it? I think I'd be neat if down the line they made a mission (without a ridiculous/impossible task) that give us rare/legendary pokes so we'd all have to work towards it

Part of the issue is the hassle involved to set up the Global Link and actually participate.

You can actually participate without registering with the global link I think.

Just being registered with the link doubles your payout for global missions.

Its a mix of people not knowing about it and the target is to high. Why is it in the millions that's ridiculous, it should be like 250,000.

I've already caught all the Island Scan mons, though. Unless they rotate what's available, why would I bother?

In theory, but definitely not in practice, this turning out to be the second global fail in a row.

0 -2

This obviously isn't working Game Freak, time to do something different.

It's for dumb points that people can just hack or powersave in.

Now if they gave away some kind of pokemon if the mission was successful...

Maybe people would get a little more determination to meet the goal.

The shiny locked ones, for example.

Highly unlikely. For some reason GF is stingy as fuck when it comes to shiny locked pokemon.

The problem is the island scan shouldn't be per pokemon caught from it
It should be 1 point per qr code scanned

You can only catch 2 max pokemon from island scan, which makes the target too high

It's all or nothing.

You either succeed and get the max payout, or fail and get the minimum payout.

It's actually a really shitty system.

Is there anything stopping someone from editing a save to pad out the numbers?

I didn't start playing the game until the second event started, and with work and doing other things it actually took me a while to finish the first island, and the few times I did the scanning stuff it kept putting the pokemon in places I hadn't got access to yet which quickly killed my motivation.

As for everyone else... how many kids actually go to the pokemon link site?
How many even know of it?
What's more, how many of them even connect their 3ds to the internet, or know how to for that matter?
It might sound kind of stupid, but but a lot of 3ds's, just like the ds I'm sure, are just gotten by parents to give to their kid and they get their mayrios and pokemans with it.

My main issue is I keep forgetting.And I have the Pokemon from it already, and can easily breed for better ones in a day.

There's literally no incentive for me.

Instead of doing that, I just scanned codes of shiny pokemon.
So at least now I can conveniently have a look at 1/3 of the pokemon in the regional dex's shinies.

The plaza itself is also tedious. Having to beat the league is one thing, but having to grind out so much time to get your rank up to 30 to unlock all the services is an absolute chore.

They haven't done an egg hatching mission yet.

But seriously barring the shitty signup.

>first mission is to catch 12 million pokemon
>the goal is too damn high
>start the mission weeks after launch when most players have stopped playing or caught most of the pokemon

>second mission is to get 1 million
>goal is much more reasonable
>have to scan QR codes over and over is tedious
>can only do it atleast once a day
>most players again already did most of the scans or stopped caring since they can use the GTS

This. I put in enough effort to know I don't want/need anything from it, have no idea what you're supposed to do with it. It's just a shitty background for when I want to use the GTS or dump a box into Wonder Trade.
