A Pokemon Go player trying to purchase additional item storage faced an unexpected and frustrating hurdle.
If you consistently playPokemon Go, chances are you have run out of storage for additional items and Pokemon. The game limits how much your Pokemon storage and item bag can hold, with expansions availablethrough the in-game shop.
However, one player encountered a pretty ironic issue while trying to purchase additional item storage, and it has others frustrated on their behalf.
Pokemon Go player can’t purchase item bag upgrade with full bag
This was understandably frustrating, considering one of the things included in the bundle was a bag upgrade.
The cause of the issue likely stems from the Box also including a Premium Battle Pass and Remote Raid Pass, which take up storage slots. Still, it speaks to the issues many players have withPokemon Go’s item shop and monetization practices.
“It’s like buying a pair of scissors and you need scissors to get them out of the packaging,” saidone commenter.
Ultimately, the player decided to buy additional item storage before purchasing the Box. This led some to speculate the problem was intentional and meant to get players to spend more money, witha commentersaying “Well I guess that answers the question of whether it was a bug or a feature…”
The silver lining here is that, so long as you can actually purchase it, the Great Storage Box is a good deal.Players who calculatedhow much each item is worth individually found the Box saves you 145 Coins, which sets it apart from other Boxes thatplayers have called“ridiculously overpriced.”
