For a while now, Niantic has started to increase the number of events in Pokémon GO, and especially those that allow encounters with special Pokémon, through its new feature of paid events, which for a small sum of money it allows the Trainers to get a ticket to participate.
The price sounds quite reasonable, but of course, it is in dollars, and this implies that regions that do not have stability such as North America, Europe or the East, have to make a much greater effort to participate in the events, although the price of the tickets is the same all over the world. Latin America is one of those regions, and the Trainers have agreed to start an initiative that seeks to reach Niantic and make this price lower and affordable.
In the first place, the letter expresses the unequal situation of Latin America with the rest of the world regarding these values in dollars: “We understand that the values we see in the Store are the result of the exchange of dollars to the currency used in other regions. But, that value in dollars is much more accessible for other countries outside of Latin America than for us “, expresses a fragment of the letter.

“Such a high value results in little community participation, causing frustration and a feeling of exclusion,” They comment, after exemplifying the values of the Pokémon GO Tour Kanto event, that in relation, costs between 5% and 7% of the minimum wage of most countries in the region.
After this request, they delivered a series of options that could help to solve the problem, such as reducing prices, or implementing the Alternate Tier A methodology that is used in Apple devices, and that the Ticket can be obtained. using Pokécoins.

At the moment Niantic did not express itself about it, but it usually has a feedback quite close with the players, so it is expected that after an analysis of the situation, the Latin American Trainers in Pokémon GO will have an answer.
