Something I read on /r/thesilphroad and confirmed while doing my morning Pokestop crawl:

You can only have 5 gifts in your bag at once. If you're at 5, send some out before spinning more stops.


I still think you should be able to transfer eggs, and it gives you candy of whatever was inside. Or the Professor hatches them himself (let's say it takes 1 day per 1 km), and then he sends you a couple candies from whatever was inside. Hire me Niantic.

You know they'd make you buy some bs or just straight use gold or dust.

Haven't taken a gym in days, though, because some yellow rear end in a top hat here loads every gym up with 2.5k Blisseys that I don't have an answer for yet.


Mine's throwing a fun bug right now where any time I open a reward that has a pokemon encounter, it stops responding to input entirely. Have to crash and restart, then it works fine.

I Hotspot for when I bring an extra device or my daughter is playing. Since I work shifts I'd happily log someone else in that couldn't make it.

The game is still not as accessible as it should be for people with normal jobs and bills to pay considering the timing of many things. There's many in the Discord here that log others in for events and such. It's nice, but not everyone is going to have access to that or be comfortable doing it.

The squirtles on community day had a shiny status tied to the particular pokestop - if a Squirtle mission yielded a shiny for you, then it was a shiny for everyone. Does anyone know if Houndour missions have a similar mechanic?

Re: lovely ex pass system

The gyms here that are supposed to be ex eligible or even used to be are not. The nearest ones that still work are 30 minutes away at best, if you live in the area. We've got quite a few players that play both ingress and pogo trying to get it fixed, but it's still a pain in the rear end. Eventually Niantic will get back to us, but until then lol.

Like I've said before, we've got a really good group that is always willing to help if you can't get yourself to an ex gym or make an ex raid, but the system is still poo poo for many reasons.

What's your suggestion?

"I-I-I-I don't know! Just n-not this one!"

Hahahahaha jesus christ I mean honestly I'll stop poking at this dumb rock yelling that this game is SUCH poo poo because it's not looking for an answer and lashing out at everyone explaining its circumstance, but the game also works for the majority of people and they're not having to bend over backwards or use half their paycheck to make it tolerable. I guess the only salvageable answer I can see is "make everything soloable" and yeah maybe you can convince Niantic to ditch the whole community/friends/social thing if that's what you're after. Maybe there's a Pokemon game out there somewhere that doesn't require you to go into the real world and every Pokemon is available without needing to plan raids with other human beings. Someone should look into that.


I really wanted this in the beginning especially since their trailer/commercial shows people hiking and exploring trying to find big Pokemon. I do get the sentiment that they don't want to be blamed for luring irresponsible people traveling unsafely into the wilds, but it does kinda suck that rural people just has less spawnpoints of the same garbage as normal areas.

e:


THANK YOU, THIS

Yeah, my issue with spawn points is they're weighed around areas with lots of phone traffic and such. I get that, it's a good thing and encourages community building etc. The part where I can go way off grid hiking or whatever for hours on end and see 0 mons is just funny.

As far as ex passes, like I said, we're actively trying to get our local gyms/parks/sponsored stops fixed to be eligible. Hell, we've gotten groups together and counted amount of unique raiders during the eligibility times and that's how all of this came to light. I don't think anyone here wants mewtwo handouts, there's just so much jank to the system that it's just stupid.

I'll put it this way even, we have a dedicated group in Discord that plays Ingress (myself included) just to add real locations and remove incorrect ones. It would be nice to be able to do that from within pogo.

When I first started playing, I lived in a more rural area and I wished this were the case. It was pretty annoying how basically the only pokemon I saw for months were garbage like pidgeys and rattatas.

It seems like a good mechanic might be to take in to account how many pokestops are within like, ten miles, and the fewer there are, the more likely you'd be to see rarer pokemon. Because, yeah, this ultimately is a game about catching wild animals, and it'd make sense that you'd find more wild animals outside of cities. But I'm sure city players are Niantic's real bread and butter, so they'd have no real reason to change the mechanics like that

I totally understand they have to make money, and flooding metro areas with pokemon makes perfect sense. What I'm getting at is that if I go out in the middle of nowhere my chances of seeing ANY mons are weighed heavily towards 0 the way their spawn mechanics work currently.

Also, as far as other features, I love that two years later one big thing is that we're dying for some kind of pvp but instead get PIKACHU IN A HAT. Of course, getting qol updates like a searchable friend list and how the app updates lists and caches the info would be way more good imo.

If an outsider of the wrong team knocks the gym down, the two other teams dogpile it immediately and turn it gray.
