Recent Dark Pattern Reviews
Daily Rewards reported on Feb 28, 2023
Daily stamps and using the Pelipper delivery (basically a gacha feature).
Grinding reported on Feb 28, 2023
The training puzzles are tedious and repetitive but necessary to level up your pokémon to get new ones/grind for the newest legendary.
Infinite Treadmill reported on Feb 28, 2023
Because it’s always expanding and there’s so many pokémon and it takes so long to get them to their max level, it feels like an infinite treadmill.
Premium Currency reported on Feb 28, 2023
You can exchange money for acorns, delivery tickets, and a monthly premium pass.
Pay to Win reported on Feb 28, 2023
The premium pass gives you an advantage during events that other players wouldn’t.
Social Obligation / Guilds reported on Feb 28, 2023
Logging in everyday and playing maintains an active clan, which has its perks with events
Invested / Endowed Value reported on Feb 28, 2023
Higher level pokémon mean you have an easier time with puzzles, not to mention some pokémon are limited time pokémon you can only get from events.
Artificial Scarcity reported on Feb 28, 2023
Legendary/special pokémon events happen once every week/2 weeks, sometimes even concurrently.
Wait To Play reported on Feb 28, 2023
Each puzzle requires use of a stamina, and one recharges once every 5 min, capping out at 5 (but if you receive more from rewards it caps at +99).
Fear of Missing Out reported on Feb 28, 2023
Because there’s constantly events (especially with beloved, popular pokémon and legendaries) it feels like taking a break will mean you’ll miss the one time a favorite will be available to recruit
