kxZyle posted:Oh my loving god finally Interesting! It would be nice to have more to do every day in-game. I pretty much just shoot for one catch and one stop, then go take over the local gyms if they're full of empty hearts. I don't bother with raiding right now.

Louisgod posted:aaaaaaaaaahahahahhaa god drat this poo poo owns. it's hilarious watching people try to figure out when they were even near a gym they got a pass for mine is within driving range, at least - but considering how ridiculous this entire raid invite thing is, who's gonna actually show up? For all I know everyone else who got an invite visited from out of state last October

The local Whatsapp groups are full of screenshots of passes all over the place in Europe, as well as Indonesia and Australia. I got one in Portugal, for a gym I've only ever spun once in September last year at a tourist attraction. I live 2000 km away from there. Perhaps this round was sponsored by an airline company?

So you don’t have to actually be in the gym at the time in order to receive an EX pass? That’s cool, because being Instinct means I’m lucky if I last two hours in a gym unless it’s totally remote. Still haven’t gotten a pass, regardless.

Haha my kid got one on the other side of town, which is probably doable. I got one halfway across the country from December. At least she'll be happy, which is what matters more to me. I know there's a discord in that town but I don't know anyone there is trust with my Google account info.

What do you even need trading for when you can get multiples of each legendary with enough effort? This at least expands the still barely-existent gameplay. e: keeping in mind that trading will be local-only quote:But players stuck in smaller towns who are eager to fill out their Pokédex will likely remain out of luck, senior product manager Tatsuo Nomura told Polygon at this week’s Game Developers Conference. kxZyle fucked around with this message at 03:41 on Feb 7, 2018 |

If there's trading, I will trade with people I know that travel and have regionals I'll never see. He'll, I'll even trade them right back if they want. I just want the Dex entry.

I want trading because I need to thin out my final forms. I got like 8 Charizards and 7 Blastoises and a dozen Nidokings from mass evolves and I don't want to chuck them for 1-2 candy. I'd also like to give people who haven't got one yet a Dratini or sloth or whatever impossible to find/hatch one is for them.

Basically this, I just hate having the empty spaces for places I will never go. The rest I don't mind hunting for or waiting till I luck out and hatch one(One of these days, trapinch ). I also want trading because I have a high IV version of all the legendaries that my partner missed out on when he was hiking in the woods for several months straight(I think it was all the beasts, maybe lugia and ho-oh too), along with an articuno that he somehow managed to end up getting 0/14 or something like that(has a decent catch rate for everything else, for some reason just couldn't just Arti to save his life). Though knowing Niantic, they'll make it so you can't trade legendaries to maintain some kind of false scarcity, sorry rural players who finally thought your friend could trade one to you!!! Add me to the pile of people who finally got their first ex raid pass... For a gym my partner and I did one low level raid at in a rural town in mexico in November. Only have to travel the 1,500 miles from seattle to the middle of Baja California(San Felipe)! Hope you enjoy the beach vacation, Mewtwo. Seriously, I've done 2 raids outside of Seattle(/150). At least if it had been for the other non-Seattle raid (in Chicago) I could have at least got a friend to do it or something. It's like Niantic tried to respond to how so many people have complained that they have never gotten a pass and fix it... but in typical Niantic fashion tripped and poo poo the bed all over it. I'm guessing a lot of these raids aren't gonna have a high turn out.

kxZyle posted:Oh my loving god finally Can they please put bad guys in this game, I want to feel like I'm defeating enemies instead of blindly catching-and-releasing monsters for our rolling stone mentor Professor Willow who has since gone to bro out with Professor Kukui in Hawaii. My dream for this game is for cities to have a flying Team Rocket hot air balloon that arrives unannounced flying in random paths and will steal a random Pokemon from you if you stand underneath its shadow. All the while the only music coming from the game is a megaphone audio quality of the Team Rocket theme blaring. If it flies over an entire group during a raid, too bad. Makes you want to set someone for lookout duty.

Ludicolo’s stats are mediocre but its animations are top-tier. My god, those maracas! In terms of comedy gym defenders Ludicolo’s only rivals are the “too big to fit in the pedestal” crew (Makuhita, Wailord) and the classic Shiny Magikarp gambit.

This idea would be cool, except the GPS location setting can be extremely lovely in a lot of places so it'd make it hard to get out from under it. * also except for the raid bit, people in most cities already have a bitch of a time forming groups for legendaries, gently caress that. It's cute that you think someone would be virtuous enough to stay out of a raid for that, though

Direct confrontational pvp really isn't how Go works so I doubt they'll add team rocket directly loving you over either. Right now even if a member of another team takes a gym from me, I get coins out of it and they get the gym so they can get coins when I take it back - if people aren't overly selfish fucklords this system works out to everyone's benefit; everyone is winning here. That's by design. and gyms are the closest thing this game has to pvp right now and they're extremely far away from real pvp. the true enemy in pogo ... is yourself

gently caress off if you think randomly getting your pokemon stolen is a good or interesting mechanic.

I do like having a wordless understanding with nearby players I never meet. One team takes the gym when the other one has been sitting there for 12+ hours and everyone is running on empty hearts. Rinse and repeat for easy daily coins and badge points. It's the ones that roll in when you've had a dude sitting on a gym for less than a hour that I hate the most.

There's been a dude at my home gym taking over my poo poo when I've been there for 15 minutes. I hate that guy. Then again, I like to leave regionals in gyms back when i traveled so maybe he thinks I'm a spoofer. My personal threshold for taking over a gym is 4 hours. And even then I only really do it to flip a gym for raiding purposes.
