While players were distracted by a few updates and events, Niantic released a new type of research in the Pokémon Go store. No one is happy with the item, despite the fact that it offers players who buy it a lot of PokéCoins.

Niantic’s use of ticked content in Pokémon Go has been a controversial topic that’s been cropping up more and more this year, though it does provide some decent boosts and deals for players willing to spend a little money here and there. The recent addition of a PokéCoin Field Research ticket, however, has drawn some additional criticism of the paid content, as it’s only a profitable option for some players and isn’t even implemented well.

For $2, or the equivalent price in your local currency, the PokéCoin Field Research ticket in the shop is set to award you 20 PokéCoins per day from May 16th to May 30th for completing a Field Research task—a total of 300 PokéCoins by the end of the task. Depending on where you purchase that ticket, you could be getting ripped off as the cost of Field Research fluctuates based on your region.

For example, a player from Poland noted in a Reddit thread discussing the update that the ticket costs 12.00 zł, or $3, while the regular bundle of 100 PokéCoins costs only 3 zł, or about $0.75. Players from several other countries also noted that they would lose money or gain very little by purchasing this ticket. Leaving aside the fact that you will likely get a maximum of 80 extra PokéCoins if you complete your Field Research task in the correct region every day, it’s easy to miss a task if you don’t actively monitor your progress.
