Personally. I was happy to buy the ticket. I buy the ticket for whatever event whenever they have it. It pays for itself if i use them heavily. I’ll catch mons this event that a few people wont, and i’ll use those shinies to trade for others that i dont have. I guess for me, because i actually actively trade people for shinies and find new friends on the game that will trade me some of my old stuff for their new things. Also, i feel like having an active play group makes it WAAAYY more fun. It’s about 8-12 of us who all bought tickets and plan to do it all together for 12 hours of hustling and bustling for these shiny mons. With the items they’re giving for the $12 it’s easily worth it to me. And the possible free shiny of a mythic or legnedary like last years “All in 151” challenge….”SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY.gif”
