《Pokémon GO》近期為了慶祝 10 周年在美國紐約時代廣場舉辦慶典活動,重現 2016 年遊戲最初預告片中玩家共同對抗超夢的經典場景,吸引了超過 2,000 名玩家與創作者到現場共襄盛舉,然而就在活動結束後卻因為獎勵機制不公平引起不小的爭議。
「Pokémon GO Fest 2026」是由官方透過紐約市各區的社群大使發放邀請函,藉此將現場人數控制在 2,000 左右以防過度擁擠的狀況發生,不過後續卻傳出只要是在現場獲得邀請的玩家,在完成團體戰後就可獲得一隻 100 IV 且帶有紐約時代廣場背卡的超夢。
To every Trainer who has been part of this journey:

消息傳出後,玩家們紛紛湧入官方社群帳號留言痛批,認為官方專程為網紅與受邀主播提供完美的限定超夢,對多年來勤勞抓寶甚至自費千里跋涉參加 Go Fest 活動卻無法獲得完美數值寶可夢的玩家相當不公平。
雖然部分人士跳出來為官方解釋,指出這些社群大使與實況主長年以來協助維繫與推廣區域社群運作,獲得這樣的獎勵其實並不過分,且時代廣場確實因為場地與安全考量而無法接納全球數百萬名玩家,不過這個說法並沒辦法平息玩家被邊緣化的剝奪感。
As someone who watched the event from home, I totally get all the posts of people who went and had the time of their lives. They got to get probably one of the most exclusive Pokémon to have ever existed in the game with a special New York background and guaranteed 100% stats.… https://t.co/HSAwcbJoxZ

許多知名的《Pokémon GO》創作者後續也陸續發聲,像是 Caleb Peng 就表示他雖然沒有親自到場,但他透露受邀的創作者們在事前完全不知道這項活動獎勵,也呼籲大家不要將仇恨轉嫁到創作者身上,因為任何人面對獲得這隻特殊的限定超夢都會感到興奮。
另一位受邀出席的創作者 Alex Nexton 也證實,當天的活動充滿各種驚喜,現場的人直到獎勵發放的當下才得知這份禮物的存在,內心都是感到相當震驚的。

I just wanted to address this briefly, so if you have a moment, I'd really appreciate you reading this.
First of all, I completely understand why some of you are upset. I genuinely do. I can see where you're coming from because I'm human too, and above all else,… pic.twitter.com/AG7sP9YqaH
