Pokemon Go players are frustrated with a Research Task that one player has claimed is the “worst Field Research ever.”
Field Research tasks have proved to be a key way for Pokemon Go players to earn various rewards and progress their Research Breakthrough.
These challenges typically have been short and fairly easy, such as “Take a Snapshot of a Wild Pokemon” or “Make 3 Curve Ball Throws.”
However, some have proved to be far more difficult or not offer sufficient rewards, which has often led to players blasting Niantic over the Research Tasks or just avoiding them completely.

A player responded: “Oh hell nah. This one can sit in the Challenge tab for eternity as a monument to their stupidity,” as another added: “I minimized it with no intention of doing it. Not worth the time and effort.”
These echoed the responses of many, as others broke down their situation in more detail: “These will be the death of me. Other than my husband, none of my Pokémon Go friends live close enough to me to join a party. And my husband doesn’t play that often. I don’t even want to think about how long it’ll take me to finish these tasks.”
