Pokémon Go fans left furious after Niantic backflips on event bonus promise

Pokémon Go fans have been left seething this week after Niantic seemingly backflipped on what many believed to be a promise that the Sustainability Week 2023 event would include an event bonus allowing trainers to halve the distance that they normally would to earn Candy with their Buddy Pokémon.

Niantic mentioned it in an infographic in the lead-up to the event. In a tweet posted on April 20, however, the devs then said it was an error and would not be available as a bonus for the event after all, and fans are as disappointed as you’d expect.
