Time Travel: Not Even Once



okay maybe a few times


The new burst of pokemon has graced me with only the third shiny I have ever gotten in the 19 years I've played these games. This little friend is destined to be a red-eye'd Glalie.

They were also all over the place here in rainy weather. I think someone pressed a wrong button. One spawned in my house, where I've never seen one before.

Shiny Glalie is much more striking to me. I considered waiting, but Froslass is too similar to hold out for.

Yeah they've definitely upped Gen 3 rates... since Gen 3 Pokemon are actually spawning now. Also good to get all the new Ice types since it's not gonna snow here for another year now.

You can't just have a shiny Glalie, you need a shiny Snorunt and Froslass too, otherwise it'll look INCOMPLETE.

I switch between a s6 edge and an iPhone, Everytime I do on the iPhone I have to go to Bluetooth settings and forget the go-tcha, then sync it again and it'll work, maybe try that?

It’s disconnected and forgotten from everything, and there’s an X on the pairing status screen. The game will see it, and even light up green when I hit the button, but it never prompts me to actually pair or finishes connecting. Same thing on 2 iPhones and an iPad.

I’m charging up an old Nexus 10, planning on trying it out there to see what happens.

Both Delibird and Santa Pikachu are worth 250. Seems to be the Present move that activates the bonus. Kinda clever, I suppose.

And my EX pass is gone. Niantic pulled every pass that was for a Sprint store.

Do we get a replacement? Of course loving not.

Did they pull all the passes for the parks? Of course loving not.

My EX raid pass is still here. Maybe they pulled passes from places set to have dangerously cold weather in the forecast on Monday?

Was a good night tonight. Caught a weather-boosted 2903cp Groudon and then right as I left the Snorunt I ran into was a shiny.

Yay for $2 of loving passes in exchange for an EX pass. Whoever would pass up on that deal. Seems it was only sponsored ones, you know, like they loving have told us to do to be in the EX lottery.

gently caress, one of the people in my discord got a pass, and so did her 10 year old daughter, their first ones ever. Our entire group had a little party planned because it was Christmas.

gently caress you Niantic, gently caress you extra hard for making a kid cry because she got a loving pass on her goddamn birthday and you had to take that tiny bit of joy away from her.

No ours was a stand-alone Sprint store.

Apparently the store has to be open in order for us to raid there despite the fact Sprint doesn't really want you hanging around inside the store to do a raid even when they are open. And seeing as you can access the gym from the parking lot on two sides of the building we should be in the clear.

We're all doomed
They weren't going to do a case by case basis for each store so they just cancelled all of them. I know when they first rolled out people were mad that they got a pass for a store in a mall that would be closed and impossible to reach. If I had one I'd be mad but after a week of wasting time going to a Starbucks to do raids every day for nothing I just said gently caress it and accepted that I'll never get Mewtwo. It's time to collect 400 whale candy instead.

lovely. Well I can only hope everyone who had theirs revoked gets a guaranteed one next time but Niantic gonna Niantic :shrug:. I wonder why they even issued them for sponsored gyms knowing they'd be closed? Why not just parks? I wonder if after the fact, sprint was like uh hey we don't want a huge throng of people outside our closed stores, thanks?

Edit: bonus! You get bumped back up to the top of the screen if you select/deselect a Pokémon :shepface:. This is the only time I've had an issue that I'm actually gonna try to find the email form for. God I hope this is just a bug and not as intended.

It sounds like Cowslips Warren had actually gotten their first and only raid pass, and you seem to have ignored that their post was discussing a mom and her 10 year old who both got one for the first time :confused:

How does that translate to Johnny 5 Mewtwos bitching about his lost pass or whatever?

For real. It's so stupid. Meanwhile I'd bet money that if I raid in chicago, that'll be the one time I get an EX pass, and it's not like I can just have some rando link up to my google account to do it for me :suicide:

Anyways, I caught this little dude today:



Since Slaking is p much gonna be useless in general and for raids(?), I should probably forgo waiting for a high IV one and just evolve this guy to sit in the gym like a beast, right? Even with the massive decay rate and all that. I'm gonna wait to evolve until I get enough candy to do the evolve all the way so it gives me a while to see if that turns out not to be the case.

The Play Rough Slaking can hold all of its counters for a decent while, even time them out often until the decay gets to it. That's all it's good for. It's beyond useless for raids.

Of course there's dudes in discord whining that they only have an 80 and a 95 and they want a 100 Mewtwo it's not fair! Those fuckers I got no sympathy for.

You're new here, so you're probably not familiar with Cowslips complaining about every single thing that happens to them and others in almost every post they make. It's become something of a joke.

It's extremely lolworthy that people had their EX passes removed and not replaced, that owns.

What also owns is this morning clicking on my 4th ever Snorunt and it being a shiny. They increase the odds of getting shinies or something?
