Pokémon Go players are reacting in disgust after seeing fans who were hand-picked to attend the game's ultra-exclusive 10th anniversary Times Square event now selling off their unique Mewtwo on eBay for thousands of dollars — breaking the game's rules in the process.
Pokémon Go recently celebrated its 10th anniversary with an invite-only event in New York's Times Square, where 2,000 fans, media, and influencers battled to capture a special Mewtwo. The event sparked controversy for favoring attendees with a rare Mewtwo featuring exclusive stats and a Times Square background.
Many attendees, including Community Ambassadors and influencers, are now selling their exclusive Mewtwo on eBay for exorbitant prices, breaching the game's rules. The listings, some reaching $10,000, also hint at in-game cheating practices like 'flying' to complete trades.
Concerned fans are urging developer Scopely Explore to address the issue, questioning the ethics of profiting from the exclusive event. With calls for investigation into the accounts of attendees, the fallout from this controversial event may lead to repercussions for those selling their prized Pokémon.
