The Pokémon Company is celebrating because one of its active mobile titles has just turned 5 years of uninterrupted support. Nowadays it is difficult for a game as a service to be successful and last this long, so the celebrations are usually very generous to the delight of the fans who support it, but those of this game feel rather disappointed with a greedy change on the part of DeNa and The Pokémon Company.
The company has relatively stayed away from controversy after a year with little news related to its productions apparently after the scandal that they were Pokémon Scarlet & Violetbut today he once again stole the spotlight for something negative.

What is the controversy of Pokémon Masters EX?
The game in question is Pokémon Masters EXwhich has just begun its celebration for its 5th Anniversary. The central part of this celebration is the presentation of a new type of extremely powerful units, the Archicompiswhich are partner pairs of very popular characters, but with a renewed kit to better reflect their power, overshadowed by the powercreepa common phenomenon in this kind of time-sensitive titles as a service.
The first units are the champions of Kanto, Hoenn and Sinnoh: Lance, Steven and Cynthiawhich returned as units with the new role Multi and slightly modified outfits to show that they are blessed by the very power of Arceusthe highest deity in the universe of Pokémon.
This celebration will include a ton of events, rewards, and useful resources that will be offered to players to improve their compi couples and there was even an animated trailer that made the Cynthia’s armpits became a trend because for the first time they were shown uncovered and somewhat focused, but even that was not enough for a controversial change to the game to go unnoticed, and for many it is ruining the celebration.

Get the new and more powerful characters of Pokémon Masters EX It will be very difficult
If you are not familiar with gachapon games, we explain that many of them have a mechanic called pity pull (pity throw), which is a last resort that the player is pushed to after spending the game’s most important resource on a banner in order to acquire a character to use, usually without acquiring a single copy of the unit. The game’s gachapon system then allows the player to obtain it outright, leaving luck aside.
In the case of Pokémon Masters EXsince it debuted in August 2019he pity pull It happened after spending 36,600 jewels on a banner or reach the 400 recruitment points (300 per individual print run), but this will change with the banners of the Archicompiswhich will only be enabled after spending a little more than 45,000 jewels (500 recruitment points).
Although it is a somewhat generous system compared to other gachapón titles, players of Pokémon Masters EX They were already accustomed to the pity pull of 400 recruitment pointsso they cried out when they realized that the amount would rise to 500 recruitment points.
Of course, the pity pull It can be avoided, but it is common to reach this stage, especially in banners whose featured unit has a 1% chance of appearing, such as the new ones from Archicompis (Arc Suit Fair) of Cynthia, Steven and Lance and the category Festicompis Masters (Master Fair).
Monthly income in the game is approximately 25,000 jewels if the player completes all the activities and events of the month, so if they want to get these units they will have to save diligently for months, since these companions are usually released in pairs or trios.
For this reason, fans feel rather without anything to celebrate, as they point out that the change reveals the greed of DeNA and The Pokémon Company. A part of the community was initially very unhappy and the publications against this new pity pull system There were even predictions that the gachapón game is in its final stage and that DeNA It doesn’t take long for them to stop supporting it, especially since they suspect that the developer will prioritize Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket.
But apparently fan campaigns seeking to reverse these changes did not have enough traction for DeNA back off.
In case you missed it: Pokémon Masters’ new story arc is based on Volo, Arceus, and the Sync Link Archstones.
