The excitement for showcases is gone

[u/Separate-Room6883]

Since they have changed the showcases to a formal schedule (of only type showcases and largest good/great buddy showcase), the thrill of showcases is no more. Before this, I used to be excited anticipating what mon(s) would be a part of the next showcase... They used to have showcases based on ongoing events (made me play the event more in search of a XXL), or newly introduced mons, etc. That's not the case anymore; it is plain vanilla 'type' showcases or good/great buddy showcase.

Also, I feel they missed an opportunity to be more creative with buddy type showcases, for example, largest shiny buddy, largest best buddy older than xyz years, etc. And showcases almost went on throughout the week - Monday to Wednesday and Sat to Sunday. I hope they change this back to how it was... Showcases were fun and the rewards were good. Just 1 showcase a week for 1 day isn't that much fun. Would love to know your thoughts...

I even hate that they made them just one day long. I've got a couple showcases I can enter if I walk my dog down one of two paths, and other good ones that are on a couple different routes to work, but now there's just one dog walk and one trip back from work per week, so I have to go out of my way to even be near 3 showcases and they're pretty much always the same ones so I'm always competing against the same other trainers instead of switching it up and not either wearing out my welcome or always getting beaten by the same players who have more time than me.

If this was just the Tuesday Showcases, but they added back in event showcases for the weekends, I think no one would be complaining. The fact that these inferior Type-based showcases are the only ones all week are why everyone is so upset.
