Recent feedback from the Pokémon GO community has highlighted a sense of discontent surrounding the “Spring into Spring”Hatch Challenge. A post on Reddit by user Crowbella called attention to the challenge’s stringent requirements, which ask players to hatch six unique Pokémon species. Despite a reduction in hatching distances, participants have little control over which creatures emerge from their eggs, adding to the frustration.
Moreover, many players find the rewards for completing this challenge underwhelming. Those who successfully hatch the required species receive a standard Incubator and a Pokémon encounter. Compounding the disappointment is the event’s limited time frame; players who inadvertently hatch common creatures instead of the necessary ones risk missing out entirely.
Do people actually do these hatch challenges? by u/Crowbarella in pokemongo
Crowbella’s inquiry sparked a lively discussion within the Pokémon GO subreddit, where many expressed reluctance to invest an Incubator’s worth of effort for such meager rewards. One player succinctly stated:
“I’ll be using my free incubator only. If it happens, it happens. Otherwise, I’m not too bothered.”

Another commenter, BriefApprehensive492, echoed this sentiment, arguing that the random nature of egg hatching adds an element of frustration.
“For me now, not worth the time investment. RNG involved with hatching eggs is a pain.”
Conversely, some players take a more optimistic view of these challenges. For example, user AngryAroid emphasized the joy of collecting despite the game’s inherent challenges:
“Absolutely! It’s called an Elite Collector Challenge for a reason. Try enjoying things simply for the fun of enjoying things.”
Adding to the discussion, julesvr5 succinctly captured the struggle many experience:
“Three eggs so far and three Mantyke…”
Understanding Collection Challenges in Pokémon GO
Collection Challenges serve as limited-time events designed for Pokémon GO players, promoting interaction with the game and its various features. While many challenges simply require catching Pokémon during designated timeframes, others necessitate players to trade or hatch specific Pokémon, which can be more challenging.
As player sentiments continue to evolve, it’s clear that the balance between challenge and reward remains a pivotal aspect of the Pokémon GO experience.
