In each event, players generally complete challenges that yield rewards for their efforts, either in the form of items or rare Pokemon encounters. Usually, these have great value for players.

Players roast Pokemon Go PokeBall challenge
Reddit userFetty24posted to the Pokemon Go subreddit on November 22 absolutely roasting one of the game’s challenges.
The challenge calls for players to catch 10 Pokemon. The reward? 5 PokeBalls…
That’s some tough value to rationalize, and the community hasn’t held back to let devs know about their frustrations.
“This has been the worst trade deal in the history of trade deals, maybe ever” joked Fetty24 in the meme-style post.
While the OP created a clever meme, commentators have been swift to join the fun, as well.
Thetop comment on the threadreads: “Think of it like a coupon for a grocery store. You’re gonna buy groceries anyways, so you might as well save some money.”
“Just have Mexico pay for the lost balls,”said another.
