BREAKING Pokémon GO news! A brand-new Pokémon GO survey is asking trainers one shocking question: what would you do if you could no longer earn FREE PokéCoins from defending gyms? While Scopely has not officially announced any changes, this survey has already caused major backlash across the Pokémon GO community, especially among free-to-play players who rely on the daily 50 PokéCoins to buy Raid Passes, Pokémon Storage upgrades, Item Bag upgrades, Incubators, and more.
In this YouTube Short, I break down everything we know so far, explain why this survey has sparked so much outrage, and discuss what this could mean for the future of Pokémon GO. Could gyms become pointless if free PokéCoins disappear? Is this simply market research, or is Scopely considering one of the biggest changes in Pokémon GO history? We also look back at the original 2016 gym system, when trainers could earn up to 100 PokéCoins per day, making many players feel like the game could be moving backwards instead of forwards.
Remember, nothing has been confirmed yet—this is currently based on a survey being sent to some players. But if this change ever became reality, it would have a huge impact on millions of trainers around the world.
What do you think? Should Pokémon GO keep the 50 free PokéCoins from gyms, increase the daily limit, or introduce new ways to earn PokéCoins instead? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
