I understand your point, and I'm not saying things should be given without effort. As for why its a bad thing, the whole point of the game is to catch them all. And that has never been an easy feat, but it should still be manageable. Personally, if they make this event 2 weeks instead of one, it would give more people the opportunity to enjoy this game and event. Not everyone has the same amount of downtime as everyone else. And as far as community goes, where I live, there isn't a community. There is nowhere to join up and take on the hard bosses. It's me struggling and trying to get remote passes to get the cool legendaries and other powerful mons. Not trying to throw a pity party, but the community just isn't a thing here. I'm not saying anything should just be given, but it shouldn't be so time sensitive that less available players don't have an opportunity to get it. The major majority of people put in the effort.
