The Pokemon GO Adventure Week event has once again given players an important choice to make after finishing step 1 of the Adventures Near and Far Timed Research Story – but is the Sightseeing or Studious path the best option?
The best path to choose in the Pokemon GO Near and Far Timed Research depends on what in-game activities you will be doing more of.
If you’re more likely to Hatch Eggs by walking long distances, the Sightseeing Adventure path is best for you. Meanwhile, the Studious Adventure path is better for players who complete plenty of Field Research Tasks.
You will earn the same rewards no matter which path you choose in the Pokemon GO Adventures Near and Far Research. However, you will want to choose the path that you will complete more easily, as they have slightly different tasks.
Below, we have included the differing tasks on each path so you can decide which one is easier for you.
