Sorry for my delay, I don't really have much time.
My opinion about this event? Hmm... Another event that was more of the same.
The difficulty was summed up in memorizing the regions of a huge map that was intended to be a maze. The quest reward was a new item, but useless (which was to be expected since the quest was basically to take something at one point and deliver it at another), and as a trademark of the game the award gives us the feeling that we are rewarded according to the time we spend on the pwo and not on our merits.. However, it was also possible to identify positive points such as the inclusion of a new Pokeball (for those who collect), tutors and new moves available (a good thing even for a limited amount of pokes), different pokes on a "same map" (which in reality appeared to be duplicate maps with access made from teleports unlocked according to their progress in the quest - /cgwho "confirmed" this theory), captible cherubi and Air Balloon.
Well, I can summarize that, in my opinion, this event was nothing more than a test for "new" mechanics. The feeling I have is that the focus has been on forcing the player to play the game (100 hours to hatch an egg, 3 hours to create an item, drop items with a doubtful percentage, etc ...), and the The purpose of this event specifically became to capture (s) Lick and (s) Skitty as it provided bad options for rod and surf (I will not comment on the background), that is, it was just a big swarm on a new map (the hope I have is that Pinkan Island will be used in the future as it is a real island within the Pokémon universe).
I don't want to prolong it too much, so finally I say that I have no problem with taking a long quest, but the frustration with the awards has been a constant. I also say that another point that makes me frustrated is to see what the PWO community has become, the decay is clear when we look at the comments made on the opinion given by other players and, honestly, I believe that PWO is becoming a game frequented by a band of spoiled children desperate for attention.
Good luck!
