Pokémon Go players are calling on Niantic to implement major changes to the way gifts work on mobile.

Although Pokémon Go can be played solo, many activities are much easier with other players.

The mobile title has many friend-centric features, such as the new Team Play feature or gift giving.

Pokémon Go fans are calling for big changes to the gifting mechanic

A post on the subreddit Pokémon Go titled ” Niantic, let me give this to friends, please ”, sparked a great discussion within the community.

The original poster attached a screenshot to the post. You can see various items from his inventory such as Rare Candies, Purified Gems and Poffins.

Below the screenshot, he explained: “ I’m at the point where I want to stop playing because I don’t have any more room. I’m not a hoarder, but I just do a lot of Raids ».

Indeed, trainers can receive gifts from PokéStops and send them to their friends. If a trainer receives a gift from a friend, they can open it to receive a random assortment of items.

Unfortunately, trainers cannot decide which items they receive. Likewise, they cannot send items from their inventory as gifts to their friends.

Many fans in the comments agreed that this would be a very useful feature to implement. “ Yes ! My husband told me he has 11 Sinnoh Stones and I was like GIVE ME HALF “, said a trainer.

Unfortunately, many trainers have claimed that it would be difficult to balance a feature like this given how Pokémon Go works. Unfortunately, I understand why they don’t allow it. People with multiple accounts would abuse it horribly », noted a player.

While it would certainly be very useful to be able to clear out your inventory a bit and share it with friends, Niantic would definitely find a way to balance it all out. For now, it seems like a flexible gift giving feature like this is still quite a ways off.
