No discount for Pokémon storage?

I guess not this time. For Gen II they lowered it 50%, for Gen III they gave us 50 for free, this time...nothing. Disappointed.

Don’t keep trash Pokémon and you won’t need so much storage.... besides it’s a business not a charity the don’t have to give you anything

Discounts are generally used to get more people buying. I think this storage increase is so long overdue that plenty of people are shelling out their coins regardless, so Niantic doesn't see any need to discount it. They are a business after all. But I do think 50 for free would have been good practice, since they've added more pokemon to the game.

If the doubled the price I would have paid. Glad they gave us the option and feel sorry for those who are playing a game when they should be getting a job to pay for the hobby.

Might get a discount for Christmas or on the anniversary. Usually companies dont release something and then mark it down on the release date. I'm waiting till Christmas before any purchases and pvp before I invest any dust.

When the Jotho 50% discount came out, I used all my coins and any future coins I gained until I reached the then maximum of 1000, even though I didn't need anywhere near that amount at the time.

In combination with what other people have said, I suspect they didn't release a discount as they felt they would get more money without a discount.

C'mon, you can get up to 50 free coins a day for pretty small effort. I think they are pretty generous.

And in that case you are punished with no good stops, gyms, mons or other perks. Those poor (and stupid) people are beyond hope.

When they made a discount after the release of Gen II, a lot of people complained because they already bought expensive storage capacity. I don't think they will propose a discount on storage anymore as it seems to annoy the community... Although the 50 free would have been welcome !
