Pokemon Unite Aeon Gem prices updated on Android/iOS, Nintendo Switch eShop costs remain unchanged

Pokemon Unite developers have confirmed that prices for in-game Aeos Gem purchases on Android/iOS have increased in accordance with the recent cost changes made by platform holders.

Nintendo Switch eShop prices will remain the same for now, but they will be adjusted at a later date.

Players in Chile, Egypt, Japan, Malaysia, Pakistan, Poland, South Korea, Sweden, Vietnam, and all territories that use the Euro currency will be affected by these new changes.

However, it is to be noted that Unite Membership holders will not be affected.

New pricing and tax changes have recently been implemented for the Apple App Store. This has led to an increase in the cost of currency and purchases in various games, including several Pokemon titles.

Apple has not provided a reason for these changes. However, many believe it may be the result of the recent drop in local currency exchange rates against the dollar.

In light of this news, many game developers have decided to make similar changes on other mobile platforms apart from iOS, including Android.

In a statement addressing the development, Niantic said:

"We know that changes to pricing and currency are impactful to our community across all Niantic games - Pokemon GO, Ingress and Pikmin Bloom - and we wanted to provide proactive notice that some players will experience an increase in in-game currency prices starting as early as October 5.

"This update is due to changes in App Store price tiers. We will also make similar changes on other mobile platforms."

Many fans feel that this is a move motivated by profits rather than guidelines.

Some players have been very vocal about their concerns for the game as it still hosts a bevy of balancing issues and laggy menus.

They have now expressed their dissatisfaction with the developers for not fixing these issues and increasing the cost of the premium currency instead.
