At the same time it does make it less painful to earn money though, pfft before the pass I had to grind battles just for 20-70 pokebucks. As overpriced as things are in yellow server it makes it easier on newer players like me who want to do alot on the game. I caught myself buying ms with coins just to sell for 700k and 1.4mil just to be able to afford traveling, certain berries or items for training. Before i could even afford to buy my first ms I was stuck in Victory Road grinding for $ to buy a couple RC's to level my pikachu to 100 for 98. As much as I use the transports to get to places, the whole pass thing is a big help.
But a perma pass for $10-25mil would be enjoyable lol, that way you grind or sell pokemon or do whatever to get that. (Half-Serious)
Some people don't like being forced to be stuck in an area just because they can't afford to travel or have to pay2travel.
I was paying to travel, just so i can collect certain pokemon i want. I've already spent about $30-40 on being able to get transportation and item money via selling ms...and this is really my 2nd week straight of playing all day long. (Yes I'm no lifeing this game but I have an online job that I do while playing this, it's an addicting game :Cool: ) my money gets drained enough from going to ev training areas again and again for different pokemon to ev train. I went from 1.2 mil to 880k off that alone today and im nowhere near done training :/
