Key Takeaways
- A Pokemon GO player reached level 50 without spending much money, a rare accomplishment.
- Dynamax feature is being integrated, adding new Pokemon forms for players to enjoy.
- Many players are hesitant to reveal how much money they spent on the game, with some avoiding microtransactions.
A Pokemon GO player who has been playing the game since 2016 has achieved an incredible milestone of reaching level 50, all while barely spending any money in the game. Reaching level 50 in Pokemon GO is an arduous task since it involves a huge XP grind for the final few levels, which often requires players to take part in several events.
It’s turning out to be an eventful season for Pokemon GO fans, with the long-awaited Dynamax feature arriving in the game. Niantic has been actively releasing new Dynamax forms of Pokemon in Pokemon GO, and it seems like the feature will quickly become an integral part of the game. There are plenty of paid and free events planned for the Max Out season, offering players new Pokemon, rewards, and much more. Amid that, a player has made a commendable accomplishment in Pokemon GO.
In a new post on the Pokemon GO subreddit, user AkashVK18_ highlights an incredible achievement. They shared a picture of their level-up screen upon reaching level 50 in Pokemon GO and added that they have been playing the game since 2016, the game’s launch year. However, what’s more impressive is the fact that they “almost never put any money in the game,” as noted in their post. One of the biggest hurdles players face while leveling up is the XP requirement, which compels them to resort to microtransactions. For the record, just leveling up from level 49 to 50 requires a whopping 30 million XP.
Pokemon GO Fans Are Reluctant to Reveal Their In-Game Expenditure
The player also asked other players in the community how much they had spent in the game so far, and many were quite reluctant to reveal the exact amount. In fact, there seems to be a common consensus in the community that one should never ask a Pokemon GO player how much they have spent in the game, as they are often not proud of it. Many players noted that they had barely spent any money in Pokemon GO before 2020, but their expenditure in-game seems to have risen dramatically in the past few years. One player even hyperbolically stated that they have spent so much that Niantic should consult them before rolling out updates.
On the flip side, there are quite a few players who seem to be careful about their expenditures in-game and stated that they only spent money on a backpack upgrade or big event tickets, such as the GO Fest in Pokemon GO. The biggest issue for players who don’t want to spend money is managing the storage in Pokemon GO, since players need to buy Item Bag upgrades from time to time to increase the number of items they can hold.
