Community Reaction to Eternatus' return in Pokémon Go

The news about the return of the legendary Pokémon has filled the community with excitement, as many trainers voiced their appreciation for the decision. Many trainers also asserted that the event was among the best of its type in recent times. One user, @itswowowow, commented

This was the best event in years! I was astounded by how affordable it was. I easily leveled up my Eternatus to level 50. Honestly, I wouldn’t blame you if you increased the price next time. Keep up the fantastic work!

Some users also let their frustrations be known, like @stark_hornstein said

Instead of milking Eternatus Candy and XL Candy as pay to win, say this!
“Trainers will have a future opportunity to get more Eternatus Candy and XL Candy for free on Eternatus Max Tour Pass as a free compensation to not go through paywall again as lessons learn from the Pokémon GO community feedback!!

Another user, @JayGasang, questioned whether the legendary Pokémon could be traded
