Sinnoh Event
Forum-Index → News → Sinnoh EventI really hope this is a bug, but sadly I fear not. I bought the 1 year premium, not even thinking that there wouldn't be a retro mew voucher because the retro mew voucher was always included, but it seems this is not the case 😥 I love the sale and while I get that many would be happier with flutes, I personally like the event pass option, but I am really sad about the missing retro vouchers.
But this might be on me, I thought the vouchers were a feature of buying premium, not a special gift if you buy it in the mall (especially since they were included in the sales I remember the last 5 years).
But I am rumbling, so long story short, I didn't get any vouchers at all sadly, so apparently no vouchers. Maybe a little note saying this would be practical, but in the end it is on the users side for not noticing it.

I think older sales were better developed when the packages were differenced in "Main gaming tools sales" (premium + flutes + cuff) and "pokemon sales" (event vouchers), than the current one in where tools and pokemon packages are mixed.
Regardless there are no flutes in this sale at all (which I imagine a lot of users run out if already/soon).
I'm trying to have perspective and think how a marketing campaign could work better and I think the old one worked better than this one due to:
- Order of priorities: Once people fills their gaming tools needs, they were using their spare nuggets in the event passes, not the other way around.
- Surplus of premium: many users (me included) have an excedent of premium weeks due to old events giving weeks of premium as rewards (like in Black Friday).
In the old sales it was easier to manage what you were really needing (if you had a lot of premium membership you spend nuggets in vouchers, if you were out of premium membership you were using the nuggets in more premium membership).
With the current sale if you have that surplus of premium membership and you want an event voucher you'll double that excedent instead of balance it.
The current sale is a very good sale, I don't deny that but it's not what I need so I doubt I will partake.
I honestly prefer to get my needs sorted, then usually spend extra on passes (wants) after. It makes more sense. As it stands, well, I guess I'm waiting until February until I renew my premium. Whether I buy flutes or not I guess depends on how crazy I am driven without them.
It's a great event (other than the obvious US, UK, European bias for the raffle >_>) and I'm enjoying it but I'm not spending my nuggets for this sale. I worked too hard to get them to throw them away now.
