Pokemon Go still goes through plenty of changes, and while the community is more than happy to be vocal about plenty of them, players are rallying around one recent feature and applauding it.

Every new season of Pokemon Go brings some new elements to the mobile game, and the recent Timeless Travels season is no different.

Pokemon fans from all over the world recently traveled to LA to celebrate the Road to Sinnoh event, ahead of the Global version this weekend, and while fans often find things to criticize, the community seems pretty happy with one new feature.

Hatch Research ticket is a ‘W’ with Pokemon Go players

A Pokemon Go player by the name of u/ThaRealMrRogers has shared a post to Reddit, sharing their enthusiasm for the recent Pokemon Go Road to Sinnoh Hatch ticket, alongside a picture of a Shiny Pachirisu.

While many other fans enjoyed the recent Road to Sinnoh Hatch ticket, the encounters were still random, so this person was lucky to grab a Shiny. Then, a lot of fans in the comments didn’t have quite the same luck.

One person shares a comment adding their own experience, saying, “Bro I’ve hatched 20+ eggs so far and not a single shiny or 4* rip”.

Another comment below says, “Go buy a lotto ticket right now.” Then one person adds a slightly less hyperbolic comment, saying “Wow, congrats lucky trainer, what a nice double surprise.”

Asking about a chance to catch rare regional Pokemon like Pacharisu, one commenter asks, “Is this the only way to get the regionals? I can’t get a 10k egg it’s been 3 days.”

Thankfully, the person behind the original post replies, saying, “As of this week yes this is the only way but on Saturday and Sunday they will be in 10ks.”

While you may have missed the LA event, the Road to Sinnoh global event takes place soon, so be sure to get yourself ready and read our Pokemon Go Road to Sinnoh guide so you have a chance of bagging yourself some rare ‘mon.
