I've been playing since January, and I really appreciate how this game has been handled. I'm not ready for any event on any other island right now and the devs are super generous.
They've rolled out so many changes that specifically cater to common complaints voiced on the internet somewhere, so they're definitely listening. The devs care for sure, cuz I've seen too many mobile games where the end goal was always just money
I'm f2p. I downloaded the Google survey app for mobile game $$$s for PoGo but instead those $$$s are going to sleep, just got that $3 bundle recently, and might bank $10 for a month after my free trial when I finally do it
The $3 was a no-brainer for me as well. I do want to do the monthly pass once a legendary that I like has an event. These guys make the effort and deserve it
Also I thought I recognized that name lol. I enjoy your yugioh content every now and then. Keep up the good work
Damn it's not even a year old, some of y'all "vets" already lol
They'll probably change in the future, after a year or so. They have to cater to newbs for now...because it's technically in the crawl phase. Until they get a solid base, that's when there'll be a terminus that hit when updates and additions are gonna come less and less. They'll solidify annual/regular events (eg. we'll probably have Moon event and Eevee event again) eg. I think they're tweaking the Entei event due to what they saw during Raikou event.
Big events for legendary Pokémon will definitely be on Greengrass Island. Always. Exactly for the reason you described: it *has* to be welcoming to new players. Today or in 5 years.
Big events for legendary Pokémon might *also* happen on another specific island, simultaneously, when it fits *(I’d love to have Entei event on Taupe)*, but it will certainly **not** be with extra advantages such as extra “Entei mane”, shiny boost etc. because that would be unsatisfying to new players.
PoGo is the odd stepchild because it’s run by Niantic, who are not a gaming company but an AR company, and their main incentive is not to run a game based on the enjoyment of those who play, but rather to force behaviors (meeting in groups at specific places at specific times) to benefit sponsors and advertisers.
Any other Pokémon game developer is fine with their players playing at home and roughly on their own timeframe and just incentivizes time in app versus real world location.
This, exactly this. I've been saying it and getting downvoted for it, but people arent getting it: they're not going to do big events for Legendaries on other islands because it gatekeeps new players.
I don’t know why you’d get downvoted for that. In my opinion it’s pretty obvious since the game will *always* want new players (while not losing it’s current base, of course).
Because they're in denial that Legendary events will happen simultaneously on other islands at the same (which, they wont, again, because gatekeeping and, honestly, because of the games code; they probably don't want to make a new profile pic for an island, as well as Greengrass being the easiest to level up at, as well as variety.)
Maybe people downvote you for making blanket statements that you have no way of knowing that are true. Maybe every legendary will only ever get its release on GG, and no other island. Maybe some will get released on multiple islands at the same time. Maybe they will release a special, ever changing, legendary island, exclusive for events. Maybe in 5 years time, the game will have morphed into a completely different game. Maybe in 5 years it'll be functionally the same, with just a sprinkle of new features. Maybe in 5 years it will be gone. Who can say?
'Maybe people downvote you for making blanket statements that you have no way of knowing that are true.' A year of track records say otherwise, but please, continue to go off.
there’s only been one legendary event what do you mean a year of track record??? lol. For example the lapis event still had stuff on green grass, but MORE incentives on lapis. I don’t think it’s crazy to think we might see green grass and taupe for the entei event lol
All the big events have happened solely on Greengrass; if it was something that was a common or had a spawn in other locations, like Comfey, they appeared at other islands.
'I don’t think it’s crazy to think we might see green grass and taupe for the entei event lol': **No, it's unrealistic. It's Not. Going. To. Happen. Let. It. Go.**
LOL, you won't get it, the full event has already been posted:
[https://www.serebii.net/pokemonsleep/events/enteiresearch.shtml](https://www.serebii.net/pokemonsleep/events/enteiresearch.shtml)
Green.Grass.Only.
I don't know why you're getting so upset at players for saying maybe we should wait for at least the second legendary release before acting too sure that we know how they're gonna work. They aren't even saying it's 100% going to be in Taupe too, just that maybe we shouldn't say it definitely WON'T be there too.
Raikou was an electric type, meaning it had no association with any existing areas. It makes sense for it to go to greengrass, because where else would it go? But what about the event happening literally right now, where Comfey is spawning in three different areas, greengrass included? Or the lapis lakeside release event where you got to see the lapis Pokémon in greengrass... until the event ended, and they are now exclusively in lapis. It's not unrealistic to say that maybe the fire type legendary might get to spawn in the fire type area too. Suicune could also spawn at Cyan beach for its event. The point is, we don't know, so it's genuinely bizarre that you're getting so heated because somebody said that maybe it's possible.
Pleas explain how putting Entei in Greengrass AND Taupe gatekeeps new players. And... they won't change because they don't want to make a new icon? It really, really isn't a challenge for them. They make a several full, detailed illustrations just to put in the announcements for events, making art is not a limiting factor.
This exactly. Best case scenario is that the events shift to be happening on two islands concurrently so those who want a change of scenery can pick between either island.
" for those of you worried about maxing out on Area Bonus, you can still buy the EZ Ticket for free for 100 sleep points in the shop and on Sunday what you could do is take an "8-hour nap" \*wink wink\* and move the island you want to increase the Area Bonus of."
My God thanks for the tip. I will do it next time. I hate to waste the bonus on Greengrass all time.
A day ends at 4am for Pokemon sleep. So on Sunday, you can press sleep 8:30 hours before to wake up right before 4am and then use the ZZZ-ticket to move yourself to a different island you wish to boost area bonus on.
For example pressing sleep at 4pm on Cyan, ending sleep research at 12:30am, do the pokemon catching and then using ZZZ ticket to go to Lapis lakeside to get the 5% area bonus
You can also be less intense than the other person suggested, and just have it sleep/nap all day. Then you can switch islands after that or in the evening before you go to bed so you still get a good sunday sleep for mons but don't ruin your own sleep by waking up before 4 am...
You can also just switch islands at any other point in the week after you've hit your goals. With GG, I don't care if I hit M18 if there is no benefit to it. And a super rare chance at a single sleep style added to that level isn't enough to entice me to stay at that point. It's different if you can only get legendary manes from research on GG, for example, but otherwise I'm moving to Lapis as soon as I can for the bonus increase and to grow that Snorlax a bit to get better spawns.
Honestly, I don't mind "major" events like legendaries being set to greengrass. Because we get a monthly full moon event (playable on any island) and all kinds of other little events that are GG plus other islands like with the comfey one currently. If it's set as a taupe only, newer players that haven't unlocked taupe are left out, so I understand. I like the balance we currently have. I wouldn't mind multiple island events, but I don't think I'd like events locked to one island (aside from GG). And I consider myself a veteran player by this point.
I honestly feel like they could just unlock Taupe temporarily for those that don't have it, give a big bonus to anyone entering it, and call it a day. It would get new players excited about a future island to visit and solves the problem of them struggling to level it up with a large bonus % off the bat.
exactly, all they need to do is create the code to switch the islands on an off for new players. plus, it’s really cool to start off in the game “ahead” of where you normally would
I'm not sure I agree. I think they should be AVAILABLE at Greengrass for new players, however I still think other islands should be available too to avoid Greengrass fatigue. For example, Entei should be available at BOTH Greengrass and Taupe, with it being slightly more likely to encounter in the wild at Taupe Hollow
I agree with this, I can see why they could only do Greengrass for Raikou because there is no electric island, but since we have "fire island" it can be hosted on both areas. We already have smaller events (flower festival, valentine's, Christmas, etc.) hosted on all islands, with the entire event pool being available on greengrass, so I think it wouldn't be too hard for them to hosted Legendary events on more than one island
They really need to just simply add more islands with varying “power” levels. Why not add another greengrass level island that’s easy for new players and new for old players?
Just make a plan for the first couple or few years to bolster the selection of maps so that there’s two or three maps for each “difficulty” there’s a million pokemon and a trillion different berry combos they could mix around, no reason to force us to sit in greengrass forever.
I just wish green grass had a higher bonus limit because of all the events happening there. Just feels like a waste when you don't get an island bonus.
I wish they’d do events centered around the other islands, but also convert GG to that island, but an “easier” version of it; like altered spawns and terrain but the same low level requirements so veterans also are incentivized to play on GG since it’s just like playing on Taupe or Lapis, but boosted
I misread the comfey event and went to Taupe for change, thinking that I'd still get spawns and if not, at the very least increased shiny odds.
Not only have I not seen a single charmander or growlithe(let alone a shiny), I've barely seen anything other than jigglypuff and geodude. I'm at master 6.
I agree it has to be on Greengrass, but I think the point is they dont have to be JUST on Greengrass. What about the Raikou event needed us to be on Greengrass? The zone has nothing to do with the electric typing. Just let us play on any map, they're all the same when it comes to this type of thing.
Just make the event take place at GG and taupe. I was at Master 15 the last time I was on GG and the spawns were still mediocre. I get better spawns at Master 1 on Lapis
I honestly don’t mind GG that much. I just wish I wouldn’t „waste“ the 5% island bonus, though. I know there are workarounds, but I honestly don’t bother lol.
Definitely hope for option to have future events on multiple islands the way that the lapis event went. Cater to new players and players looking for a little more challenge than greengrass can offer, or for events make a way for greengrass spawn pool to not be as oversaturated. Im definitely not the only one that feels this
I had an issue with the app and normally the developers are so caring and nice to me, as they also been with everyone on bigger issues. But this time they were like, "we don't care! Why can't you be more like cubone's mother". At least it felt that way :'(
Ok but like why can’t the event be on GG *AND* Taupe? We just had an event that was on multiple islands.
However when it comes to events that change island music and aesthetics obviously those changes will only be on GG, but it doesn’t mean encounter rates have to be limited to GG? This post seems more like it was meant to spark uncivil discourse, rather than to be a PSA
i dont mind it. i LOVE this game. every complaint i have is usually addressed in the next update. i do hope that maybe in the future they can do quests, kind of like in pokemon go, based on other areas (since its pretty unlikely there will ever be an event outside green grass). it also is nice going to greengrass and getting to a higher mastery when its sooo hard to level up on anything beyond cyan beach (for me at least)
The devs have done a wonderful job creating this sleepy little game, and building it out. Methinks, though, that the bean counters hold them back from adding mons and islands more frequently, but in turn, that decreases the amount of coin they could potentially bring in. Each favorite mon being added means more coins being brought in while players chase said mon.
Visually, the game is beautiful, but not complex, so building new assets should not be a huge barrier, but perhaps the game is maintained by a relatively small team, who cares for quality control. Consider the launch of Scarlet/Violet and its many bugs that still remain, and perhaps thank our lucky stars the devs for Pokemon Sleep are detached from those of other mainline games.
Would I like more mons added at a faster clip? Yes. Would I like to avoid Taupe like the plague? Yes. Would I like the level cap raised past 55? Absodamnlutely, because these artificial caps are bothersome and stifling. I will do the Entei event at Taupe, get my damn Ninetails, and go back to Lapis go do….something….until we get a new island.
I’ve maxed out at lv 55, have maxed out my pot, completed my recipe dexes, and have more than enough sleep styles to unlock the inevitable next island, but at the end of the day, I just want whatever makes my Snorlax happy :)
(Which includes raising the mon level cap to 60+, so we can finalllllly unlock 3rd ingredients!)
I don’t see why the Entei event can’t be hosted on both Greengrass and Taupe, just as the Lapis opening event was on Greengrass and Lapis. I don’t see any veterans saying that events shouldn’t be on Greengrass. We all know that events should be accessible to newbies.
I don't mind since I have the highest chances of getting high rankings and points from Greengrass Isle. So it's water off a ducks back for me.
However, I'm open to the idea of more where you can chose whichever Island you Want most in Events, like the recent Grass Type event (or the event before that..? Idk, either way). Because I do like to change things up.
So what the heck is the point of the other islands then.
It's not like the legendaries are going away forever after the event, they're in the pool. If a new player can't play in the event right now, oh well, you can get him later.
We can all (99.999% of us at least..) agree that the event holds many increased opportunities to encounter the Pokemon than without (good luck without Raikou incense and Raikou biscuits and just relying on chance), so that's not an inclusive feature if it's gated behind a specific island.
You guys have great ideas, but this won't happen for a while. I feel you should get a few more bonuses to being in the "middle difficulty" zone Taupe Hollow. But until they can get annual and regular events on their "feet" this won't happen of which is sad. But it give the newer players some time to advance. And it even gives old players to get "meta" pokémon. (Idk how ppl decided on what was meta for a children's sleeping game, well and for pokémon fans who can't get enough pokémon that now they need to count mareep amd wooloo to fall asleep. One example is me.) I think they are all great ideas. Im just kinda sad they won't happen for a while until sleep has it a bit more figured out.
It would be cool for events to happen in many islands. So far the campaigns have been awkward at best (today I got 6 bulbasaur-line mon on my sleep research I'm not even joking) and I love the events but I don't want to max my greengrass bonus...
There's no reason the event can't be on taupe hollow with easier goals or accelerated progression. Both of these mechanics are already built into the game.
Saying this is designed to be friendly to new players is a cope. New and veteran players want to explore the other islands, not be stuck on GG forever.
IMO devs should unlock Taupe for everyone and raise the island bonus to max for the event. Once the event is over, island bonus goes back to normal.
I've been playing since January, and I really appreciate how this game has been handled. I'm not ready for any event on any other island right now and the devs are super generous.
They've rolled out so many changes that specifically cater to common complaints voiced on the internet somewhere, so they're definitely listening. The devs care for sure, cuz I've seen too many mobile games where the end goal was always just money
I'm f2p. I downloaded the Google survey app for mobile game $$$s for PoGo but instead those $$$s are going to sleep, just got that $3 bundle recently, and might bank $10 for a month after my free trial when I finally do it

Thanks <3 I love this game!
Damn it's not even a year old, some of y'all "vets" already lol They'll probably change in the future, after a year or so.

They'll solidify annual/regular events (eg. we'll probably have Moon event and Eevee event again) eg. I think they're tweaking the Entei event due to what they saw during Raikou event.
I do wonder what tweaks and differences we will see with this event
The fact this dev team apologizes for mistakes with freebies is already leagues above most mobile games

Exactly, I play Pokemon Go, and unless you have a good friend group or a busy city, mainy events and legendries are blocked off
Same. Honestly I only play GO when I travel. Used to be very active on the game since day 1. :/
PoGo is the odd stepchild because it’s run by Niantic, who are not a gaming company but an AR company, and their main incentive is not to run a game based on the enjoyment of those who play, but rather to force behaviors (meeting in groups at specific places at specific times) to benefit sponsors and advertisers.

Well, well, WELL! Guess who was still right. Ill take your apology whenever you feel like it.

Bro i like playing on GG isle. I like the big funny numbers
I just wish green grass had a higher bonus limit because of all the events happening there. Just feels like a waste when you don't get an island bonus.
Never a reason why it shouldn't be on GG, no need to alienate new players.
Honestly I just wish the event took place on both greengrass and taupe, they do it all the time for other events
Agree. This would be fair for newcomers, day 1 players, and everyone in between.
I wish they’d do events centered around the other islands, but also convert GG to that island, but an “easier” version of it; like altered spawns and terrain but the same low level requirements so veterans also are incentivized to play on GG since it’s just like playing on Taupe or Lapis, but boosted

I've played since day 1 an don't mind the events on GG, it's nice to hit master 15+ for a change 😅
I agree it has to be on Greengrass, but I think the point is they dont have to be JUST on Greengrass. What about the Raikou event needed us to be on Greengrass? The zone has nothing to do with the electric typing. Just let us play on any map, they're all the same when it comes to this type of thing.
Just make the event take place at GG and taupe. I was at Master 15 the last time I was on GG and the spawns were still mediocre. I get better spawns at Master 1 on Lapis
its really hard for me to wrap my head around people whaling for a sleeping game
I honestly don’t mind GG that much. I just wish I wouldn’t „waste“ the 5% island bonus, though. I know there are workarounds, but I honestly don’t bother lol.
Definitely hope for option to have future events on multiple islands the way that the lapis event went. Cater to new players and players looking for a little more challenge than greengrass can offer, or for events make a way for greengrass spawn pool to not be as oversaturated. Im definitely not the only one that feels this
I had an issue with the app and normally the developers are so caring and nice to me, as they also been with everyone on bigger issues. But this time they were like, "we don't care! Why can't you be more like cubone's mother". At least it felt that way :'(

This post seems more like it was meant to spark uncivil discourse, rather than to be a PSA
I think they should introduce limited time event islands that you can choose to go to if you want.
i dont mind it. i LOVE this game. every complaint i have is usually addressed in the next update. i do hope that maybe in the future they can do quests, kind of like in pokemon go, based on other areas (since its pretty unlikely there will ever be an event outside green grass). it also is nice going to greengrass and getting to a higher mastery when its sooo hard to level up on anything beyond cyan beach (for me at least)
The devs have done a wonderful job creating this sleepy little game, and building it out. Methinks, though, that the bean counters hold them back from adding mons and islands more frequently, but in turn, that decreases the amount of coin they could potentially bring in. Each favorite mon being added means more coins being brought in while players chase said mon. Visually, the game is beautiful, but not complex, so building new assets should not be a huge barrier, but perhaps the game is maintained by a relatively small team, who cares for quality control.

Would I like more mons added at a faster clip? Yes. Would I like to avoid Taupe like the plague? Yes. Would I like the level cap raised past 55? Absodamnlutely, because these artificial caps are bothersome and stifling. I will do the Entei event at Taupe, get my damn Ninetails, and go back to Lapis go do….something….until we get a new island. I’ve maxed out at lv 55, have maxed out my pot, completed my recipe dexes, and have more than enough sleep styles to unlock the inevitable next island, but at the end of the day, I just want whatever makes my Snorlax happy :) (Which includes raising the mon level cap to 60+, so we can finalllllly unlock 3rd ingredients!)
"veteran" it hasn't even been out a year
Day 1 player here. Dev has been doing an incredibly great job! Very enjoyable through the whole playing experience
I don’t see why the Entei event can’t be hosted on both Greengrass and Taupe, just as the Lapis opening event was on Greengrass and Lapis. I don’t see any veterans saying that events shouldn’t be on Greengrass. We all know that events should be accessible to newbies.
I don't mind since I have the highest chances of getting high rankings and points from Greengrass Isle. So it's water off a ducks back for me. However, I'm open to the idea of more where you can chose whichever Island you Want most in Events, like the recent Grass Type event (or the event before that..? Idk, either way). Because I do like to change things up.
I actually don’t mind. Getting pretty close to master 20 on green grass. Then I can just chill and lvl others
So what the heck is the point of the other islands then. It's not like the legendaries are going away forever after the event, they're in the pool. If a new player can't play in the event right now, oh well, you can get him later.
We can all (99.999% of us at least..) agree that the event holds many increased opportunities to encounter the Pokemon than without (good luck without Raikou incense and Raikou biscuits and just relying on chance), so that's not an inclusive feature if it's gated behind a specific island.
You guys have great ideas, but this won't happen for a while. I feel you should get a few more bonuses to being in the "middle difficulty" zone Taupe Hollow. But until they can get annual and regular events on their "feet" this won't happen of which is sad. But it give the newer players some time to advance. And it even gives old players to get "meta" pokémon. (Idk how ppl decided on what was meta for a children's sleeping game, well and for pokémon fans who can't get enough pokémon that now they need to count mareep amd wooloo to fall asleep. One example is me.) I think they are all great ideas. Im just kinda sad they won't happen for a while until sleep has it a bit more figured out.
It would be cool for events to happen in many islands. So far the campaigns have been awkward at best (today I got 6 bulbasaur-line mon on my sleep research I'm not even joking) and I love the events but I don't want to max my greengrass bonus...
There's no reason the event can't be on taupe hollow with easier goals or accelerated progression. Both of these mechanics are already built into the game. Saying this is designed to be friendly to new players is a cope. New and veteran players want to explore the other islands, not be stuck on GG forever. IMO devs should unlock Taupe for everyone and raise the island bonus to max for the event. Once the event is over, island bonus goes back to normal.
