As players that peruse this list are sure to note, the rewards that can be earned by completing the Lovely Wishes Timed Research are nearly identical across all three paths. The only exception is that fans that opt for the wish focused around PoGO's Daily Adventure Incense will earn an additional 25 Ultra Balls. Those bonus Poke Balls do provide some amount of incentive to select that path, though players should really be basing their decisions around the bonuses that are associated with each wish.
With respect to the tasks that make up the Lovely Wishes Timed Research, those are also almost identical for all three wishes. Indeed, the paths share all but one task, which is adjusted to be aligned with each wish's bonus. This makes it even easier for Pokemon GO players to make the bonuses the primary factor when picking a path, as the differences between their tasks are negligible.
Pokemon GO is available on Android and iOS devices.
