Hello players! We have some news, good news!
A number of times we have received requests for the re-battle time period for Gym Leaders to be reduced. 24 hours of cooldown is indeed rather longer than required but reduction of that time wasn't possible- up until recently. I'd like to officially announce that from now on, we will follow a New system for Gym Leader cooldowns i.e. each gym will now have its own cooldown time which will be 2 hours more than the previous gym's cooldown time period.
So, the first gym will have a timer of 2 hours, the second will have 4 hours and the third, you guessed it, 6 hours. For someone who starts in Kanto, their first Johto gym [i.e. their 9th gym] will have a timer of 18 hours. After the 11th Gym, however, all the further Gyms [12-16] will have a cooldown period of 24 hours.
Here is a simple list for clarity:
The system will be further improved very soon and until then, we do hope that everyone finds this update fruitful and that this provides the newcomers with a much better game experience.
On another note, as of late we've have several downtimes due to unforeseen bugs and errors in the game. Due to that, we understand that many of you were not able to participate in the event and were not able to unwrap your desired presents while doing the quests.
In order to make up for this and to give all of you honest chances of finding your Christmas presents, helping stop Zidane and completing the quests, we have decided to extend the Winter Event up until 18th January.
We're sure you'll all now find enough time to gather all the prizes and pokemon you can from this event! Do let us know if you have any feedback or suggestions for the updates. ^-^
