We, as a community of Pokémon Go players, request that Niantic discloses the reward odds of the different loot box mechanics found in Pokémon Go to comply with the appropriate Google Play and App Store policies, and to provide more transparency about random rewards. These include but are not limited to:

- Eggs: A complete list of what Pokémon can hatch from which type of Eggs, what are the odds of each of these Pokémon to hatch per Egg, as well as their shiny odds where applicable, broken down to each Pokémon currently available in Eggs.

- Raids: A complete list of what item rewards that can be obtained through different tiers of Raids, what are the odds of each of these items per Raid, as well as the shiny odds of the Raid Boss available for capture after the Raid where applicable, broken down to each Pokémon currently available in Raids.

- Lures: A complete list of what Pokémon can spawn when using different types of Lures, as well as their shiny odds where applicable, broken down to each Pokémon currently available in Lures.

- Incense: A complete list of what Pokémon can spawn when using Incense, as well as their shiny odds where applicable, broken down to each Pokémon currently available in Incense.

We are expecting full and unabridged disclosure of all of these odds within the in-game Shop as well as the in-game Items storage, and for these changes to occur swiftly, in order for Pokémon Go to cease breaching Google's and Apple's developer policies and strengthen the trust between Niantic and the player community.

I have been less inclined to try pay into this game. There have been too many occasions where Pokemon have such a low chance of hatching that you are just pouring money down the drain. The latest Dragon Week was a complete disaster. 100s of 7km eggs hatched and not 1 Deino hatched.

As I have moved from a free to play player to one who makes frequent purchases from the store, I believe we have the right to know more specifically what we are getting for that money, or perhaps more accurately, what we might get, and what the real likelihood of getting any item would be.

Supporting players were absolutely baited into using paid items for a chance at a new, coveted item without being told just how rare Niantic made it to achieve. There is nothing right about how this is being done.

The trend in pgo for many years is to pit items just out of reach to reinforce addictive/obsessive playing. It's disgusting and must stop. With disclosed odds everyone can decide for themselves if they want to exert the required effort.

I'm amazed that Niantic has been able to get away with not disclosing lootbox odds (especially eggs) for so long. Niantic's inaction is morally wrong and they deserve most of the burden. However, Apple and Google need to enforce their own existing rules, as is common sense.

Niantic are willingly manipulating people with a game that's directed at children. This is wrong on so many levels. They can at least show us the rates and be held accountable for their mistakes.
