It all depends on how hard they want to push the whole 'you have to earn it' aspect upon the final release. If the HA pokemon will indeed be tradable, then they might as well introduce the HA pill as a rare reward upon completing the dungeon, unless they are super fixed on having to go thru the rebreeding process again for some reason.

Wouldn't be grindy for the person that spends 4 seconds buying it off GTL. Edit: Putting a 1m price tag on it doesn't change anything honestly, it's pocket change in the current economy.

What is real?

Ah I see, sorry, I thought you were referring to just putting an HA pill to daycares for a fixed price and be done with it.

If they wanted to take the easy way and use the HA pill, they would have done it already.

And this is precisely why they stopped giving ETAs, you simply can't predict all the bugs that might pop out or other unexpected issues - they are extremely tentative and people tend to fixate on them more than they should. It always will, human nature. Believe me if I could complain dungeons into existence I would.

From what I remember darkshade only started mapping the actual dungeon during summer 2018, so while they might have been debating the idea for a while, I doubt they have been actually working on it for years. I fully agree, the information we have is quite scattered, which is why some people assume there is no communication at all or lack certain information. A pinned thread with a collection of all the information given by the staff would be very useful, or making a regular developer blog again as you and some others suggested - but if that won't happen, simply doing a single collection of all the info given by the developers in one megathread will do the job. (Sounds like a mayoral duty [email protected]) Don't get me wrong, more transparency would be great, but demanding a proof and then calling the staff liars because they didn't provide it is just silly.

This is also one of the main reasons dungeons were delayed tho. While I do agree that the new chinese market helped the game a ton - especially from a financial standpoint, it also brought a lot of it's own issues with it, that ultimately had to be dealt with and were given a priority. Yes, you, pessimistic. They did make an effort, we have gotten multiple updates from Kyu and Darkshade regarding the development of dungeons and it was also mentioned that they were indeed put in the backseat, along with an explanation as to why they were delayed, you clearly need to start reading more. I am not sure why you feel that you're entitled to be given a proof, but the reality is, you're not. Yes there is, it's called professional integrity. Also, everyone is innocent unless proven guilty.

Since you either didn't read what I said, or didn't get it and just repeated the same thing you said earlier, I will do the same. You are free to be extremely pessimistic, even to the point where you believe that they made the whole dungeon thing up, but it's not their or anyone's job to convince you or make it seem more believable to you.

The date when you create a forum account =/= the date when you start playing the game. I was lurking for a while, just never bothered to register. Anyway, I am not here to disagree with you on the development process of dungeons being slow or that you don't have the right to be frustrated about it, but it was recently explained why and I personally understand the reasoning behind it. I only pointed out that the proposed conspiracy theory is simply insane - slow development process doesn't mean that the development itself is a lie.

It has been explained multiple times why they don't do ETAs anymore. You are free to be extremely pessimistic, even to the point where you believe that they made the whole dungeon thing up, but it's not their or anyone's job to convince you or make it seem more believable to you. Put down the tinfoil hat and be rational for a moment, you're basically suggesting that they would stake over 6 years of development and established reputation to put a ticking time bomb in a form of a lie in their pocket that will inevitably blow up in their face, just to keep 50~ players for a while longer/meme them.

Do you honestly believe that they would make up content just to keep players attached/meme them? Come on.
