Pokémon Go developer Niantic has not publicly acknowledged its slip-up, and a bonus bonus event to make up for the bonus event seems unlikely.
Last night, Pokémon Go’s Kanto Tour bonuses – designed to make up for the fact the game’s ticketed event was available to people who hadn’t paid – were released and accidentally also made available to people who hadn’t paid.
Writing on top fan reddit TheSilphRoad, some fans expressed exasperation at this latest slip-up – while others simply found it hilarious.
Pokémon Go players in Australia and New Zealand are reliably the first to encounter event-specific errors and bugs as they are the first timezones around the world where in-game changes become visible.
