Basically, that’s the whole reason. It just needs time, but IMO we didn’t really get that.
U get some usefull pokemons outside events(magikarp) but i almost only get weedle and spinarak so i love events.

Thanks to events like this I’ve actually had more pokeballs than ever! I don’t even throw a ball at a Pokémon if it’s not shiny in many cases during this event, but I’m still very motivated to play. I don’t need for example more hariyama so why would I catch makuhita?
I voted “totally agree”… Not because I don’t like events. I love events! But when there is constantly an event going on, how can we still appreciate events? An event is not an event any more, if it’s a permanent condition. From time to time we just need the boring Pidgey, Weedle,… spawns to get back to the ground. And I still like doing those old-fashioned mass-evolve lucky egg sessions, but for that I need my trash mons…
And like @Jormdeworm already stated: stocking up on Pokéballs (especially when you don’t have a stop every 10 meters) is hard when you are constantly catching event Pokémon, because you have to fear they will never ever spawn again in a reasonable number to evolve and power up… (We had loads of Makuhita when they came out, then nothing for weeks or even months, now it’s back… but who knows what it’s like after the event?)
I’d really prefer to have a week or so between the events to “calm down”.

The events are amazing but not only can I not find any shiny I have non from recent events Andy I have 2 pokeballs left even with the extra gym stuff I have exams so I don’t have time to walk round there everyday
Agree. I am running out of poke balls with all these random ‘celebrations’. I just think It’s too much, especially if Adventure Week will be in May.
Just this month, there was the end of WGG, fighting event, a hugely anticipated community day, and possibly Adventure Week?!
Not possibly, it will come. Maybe directly when the Battle Showdown event is over.
And that’s the problem. I don’t have enough time to stack up some balls.
I like the events. Nobody is forcing you to go all out. I don’t really care if I catch a shiny mahukita or meditite or not.
Strangely, with this event my bag is full all the time (1500 items). But that’s because I keep spinning at all my golden gyms in the area.

Well, pokeballs are never really a problem for me. Enough stops and gyms arround. My plus gets rid of the red ones, i myself throw the blues (or delete them if storage is to full) and i can save ultras for community day.
And you arent forced to get the boxes. Its nice to have the option to get it whenever you want to, but you could just get bag upgrades if you want those. Thats just a matter of making a choice.
I do agree there are too many events at the moment, but not for the reasons you list. Just cause theres no pause between them. I think theres a risk of getting “event fatigue”.
If everything is an event, nothing is an event.
I wouldn’t mind a week with no event just to relax a little at this point…seems like there has been almost constant events for a while now.
From niantic’s perspective, I get it. People spend more money the more they play

These events increase gameplay and Niantic makes more money selling stuff in the store. We got Adventure week coming like a week to 10 days after Fighting event ends.
I just skip May community day for the biggest part. Just want some stardust

Because at new events almost everytime a new shiny releases do i shiny check them.
I must say that I like all your opinions, though.
Also, I totally agree with @HeracrossVille, a week or so NO events, I’d like to see it. It gives you a calm down. I really need that tbh. And then, after the week another event? Well if it happens I don’t give a complaint.
Just need to rest from it😁
I would like a week with no events but with a extra pokeballs drops

But you have extra items (so pokeballs aswell) from gyms right now.
I dont agree with it totally, but only because I do like the events, I dont mind using the resources as thats the point in the game, HOWEVER, too many events ARE burning us out… The adventure week took a lot out of me and my best mate, we were out every single day desperate to get a shiny aerodactyl and kabuto, finally got a kabuto on the final day but 117 evolve an omanyte or kabuto quests later NO shiny Aerodactyl. We gave that our all too… Now this event started, we have lasted 2 days into the event and now are staying home completely shattered today, and likely tomorrow and onward till bodies recover, muscles are sore, we need a rest… we got ONE shiny Kyogre and one shiny Shellder and have stopped to take a rest… We shouldnt be having to rest during these events, they need to give us at very LEAST a few days between events where we can rest and recouperate to be at our best to start again like that. They arent and this is what is burning people out.
They keep the game fresh, add some new shinies, give us themed raid bosses (this time even the legendary) and you can always stop catching too much when you need to restock (also, how can you run out of Pokéballs)
