Pokemon GO players are looking for Niantic to reverse the limited time that Dratini Community Day is happening to the length these events used to be. The past few months of Pokemon GO have been filled with unique moments from the recent Halloween Event, Elite Raids with Hoopa Unbound, Evolving Stars, Fashion Week, and Litwik Community Day. While these events are put in place throughout the months long seasons, Niantic has seemingly run into a few problems with many of these.
Fan concern has been on the rise lately with numerous marred events including the Litwik community day being interrupted by Elite Raid spawns, ruining the appearance of 4-Star Lampent raids which special bonuses. Late in October, a bug broke a special Pokemon GO event involving the debut of Zorua, forcing Niantic to disable it completely leaving many fans disappointed and frustrated. With the newest event arriving this weekend, fans are already speaking out.
Taking place on November 5, Pokemon GO is running Community Day Classic, an event which places the spotlight on older creatures that haven't been featured in a while. This time it is Dratini that is seeing increased spawn rates for a limited time. Unfortunately for many, the time to catch Dratini is limited to just 3 hours from 2pm to 5pm, which has left many fans upset about the tiny window of opportunity.
Taking to places like the Pokemon GO subReddit, numerous posts have started to appear over frustrations with only having 3 hours instead of the longer 6 hours that they used to be in the past. Some have indicated that they're working and won't have time to jump on, while others find it ridiculous that Niantic expects players to not have any obligations on a Saturday. While Niantic hasn't reponded to potentially extending these in-game events, it may not be a bad idea since these typically drive a lot of traffic and likely revenue from in-game purchases.
Whatever the case may be, November appears to be another busy month for both Niantic and Pokemon GO players. In addition to normal Spotlight Hours and Featured Raids, November Community Day happens in the middle of the month with Teddiursa. The end of November also features some mysterious events including Astral Eclipse as well as something unannounced coming on November 27. Some have already theorized that it could potentially be a Pokemon Scarlet and Violet crossover, but fans will have to wait and see for now.
Pokemon GO is available now on mobile devices.
