Summary

  • Pokemon GO players can purchase a Hatch Box in the in-game store for a hefty price of 7,000 coins, which caused mixed reactions among the community.
  • The Hatch Box includes 50 Incubators and 50 Super Incubators, making it a potential valuable investment for players looking to speed up their egg-hatching progress.
  • While some players criticized the high cost, others viewed the box as a good long-term deal, considering it makes the included items more affordable than buying them separately.

A Pokemon GO player has found a Hatch Box costing a whooping 7,000 coins in the in-game store. Pokemon GO is a free-to-play game, meaning players don't have to spend any money to play.

Players receive items just for playing, whether it's interacting with Pokemon GO's PokeStops, completing Research Tasks, battling in Raids, or against other trainers. In this way, players get a selection of items ranging from Poke Balls to Revives and Potions. But if the Pokemon GO player prefers to speed up their progress in the game, it is possible to buy Poffins, Incense, Remote Raid Passes, boxes, and other items using PokeCoins. PokeCoins are bought with real money or obtained in Pokemon GO Gym Battles. Recently, a player found a box available for purchase in the game, but its price stunned the community.

Expensive Hatch Box Divides Opinion Among Pokemon GO Players

Reddit user asteri_agaliarept shared an image showing a Hatch Box costing 7,000 coins. Buying this box gives Pokemon GO players 50 Incubators and 50 Super Incubators at once. The Pokemon GO Super Incubator is one of the three types available in the game and can be used up to three times. It hatches eggs much faster than a regular Incubator, so players should use it wisely. The other incubator included in the Hatch Box is referred to as the Limited Incubator, as it hatches up to three eggs as the player walks. Players can get this item by leveling up, buying it in the store, or completing Special Research tasks.

In the comments, Pokemon GO players showed very divided feelings about the 7,000-coin Hatch Box. Some players criticized the high price of the Pokemon GO box, and some showed indifference because they don't have a habit of hatching Pokemon. One of the Redditors questioned the price of the box, which costs $60. Other players reported not having this box appear in their games but said they had found other boxes costing 5,250, 2,350, and 3,500 coins. Although many users found the price extreme, several considered it "a good offer in the long run." One Redditor argued that although the Hatch Box is expensive, it makes the items more affordable than buying them separately.

The Hatch Box that asteri_agaliarept found isn't the first scare Pokemon GO players have had with the game's prices. Pokemon GO's microtransactions spark debate among players from time to time, like the increase in the price of PokeCoins this year. Despite this, the community continues to support the free-to-play model, with many trainers playing Pokemon GO without spending any money.
