Seems like the recent update includes a feature I’ve wanted for ages - ball selection now appears to persist between catches! Super useful for when I end up with dozens of extra Great Balls and want to use them up.

DaStampede posted:Because it goes against a model of trying to make people log in every day at least once. That is a big money maker for companies and Niantic has not proved in the past to care about casual gamers. That's a model they already have firmly entrenched in the game with the catch & stop-spin streak system - it's not like they really need more pressure on that front. Ditto the kowtowing to the folks who play the game obsessively; those folks aren't likely to increase their time or spend that much more. Throwing the occasional bone to the large-but-less-spendy casual demographic probably pays off well enough. Me, I'm just irritated that my local weather was boosting Ghastlys earlier in the week, but not today, and I only today got to the fourth level of Mew research

Learned a hard and frustrating lesson today: never prepare for an event  Bought some regular incubators...right before they released the limited time box with super incubators. Put some eggs into those regular incubators yesterday...only to find that the event driven “stuff incubates faster” behavior only appears to apply to incubators you start using during the event itself.

DeadlyHalibut posted:Ouch! Yea, aside from the irritation about the incubators/eggs, it was a fun event; neither my wife nor myself have caught more than a couple Mareeps ever, so now we're flush with all 3 evolutions and a handful of shinies to boot. At one point I had all 3 field research slots going with the day's quest as well, which was amusing. Also caught my first Omastar which was unexpected. Been seeing more in that family out lately.

Psychobabble! posted:No(Assuming you mean will this highlight charmander if you don't have a charizard). Only things you don't have in your Dex Is the scanner/radar really that useful? In my experience, unless you notice & head out the moment something shows up on there or the spawn you need happens to be close by, they've despawned by the time you actually get there. I'm probably just unlucky, but I've had so many near misses I just don't bother anymore

DizzyBum posted:The takes are hot and fresh in this thread.  Wife and I only get to raid super rarely so we're extremely jazzed about the chance to get one of the legends we missed (spoiler: that's most of 'em) each month. Yea, sure, ending up with ~3 of each is a little silly, but as I think I or others posted upthread, I'm happy to see a system aimed at casual/infrequent players so I don't mind.

Is there a known issue with the "Catch a pokemon 3 days in a row" quest in the Celebi line? I've caught a brazillion pokemon both yesterday and today but it still thinks I'm only at 1 day in a row so far. I did get up to that 1 day earlier and then had a few days of no PokeGo (yes…that's a thing), not sure if that screwed it up or what. Of course, since it's special research it's not like I can delete it and hope to get it again to reset it, like I might with a bugged field research

RodShaft posted:I guess I'll just leave his account off for a day and see if that resets it. I'm assuming that's been tried and failed considering the size of the community and my googling coming up with no solutions. Mine finally noticed I'd been catching for a few days - it flipped to 2 days in a row late yesterday. Guessing some really dumb off-by-one bug combined with a state keeping bug or...something. We'll see if it completes tonight or tomorrow.

Bought incubators last night to clear eggs out pre-event. Freaked out today thinking poo poo, aren't gift eggs generated when the gift is received from the pokestop?  But Silph Road has PSAs up stating eggs get 'rolled for' when you open the gift, not before. So I can clear out my egg box, hold onto gifts, and start opening them tomorrow at 1 to get event-relevant 7k eggs Also I literally forgot until last night that one can spend actual money to buy things in this free to play game! Instead of painstakingly gathering coins from the rare times I can actually defend gyms (my team's the local minority). Figure the number of hours I've spent on this damned game, I can justify throwing a few  at the developer

IcePhoenix posted:Tomorrow is the 12th, not the 13th but thanks for the idiot check! Just means I'll have a bit more time to wrap up the rest of my egg-walkin'.SuperKlaus posted:drat, at gift opening, not at hatch? I "gamed the system" the wrong way today then. This also means if you want to avoid picking up any new eggs from stops or gifts, you can just let your Pokémon box fill up.

I'm probably missing something obvious, but what even is the point of clipboard raiding / multi-account PokeGo? In 'real' MMOs, my understanding is multiboxing lets you do group content solo, trivializes solo content, and allows easier grinding (since your characters can funnel everything they earn to a single character). In this game, tho, none of that even seems possible besides the first one (you can solo raids or at least require fewer other real people to attend a raid). Especially since trading/gifting wasn't even in the game until comparatively recently; and you can't even funnel items or candy to friends outside of what you get from trades. (And simply posting my drat friend code on Twitter with the main hashtag once, was enough for me to get way more than enough actual other friends, too! I can't imagine needing to run a half dozen other smart-devices for that angle...)

Black Feather posted:There's a trashcan icon on the right of every item, click on that and you can mass dump things.  shut up blegum, also note that you can hold down the plus/minus buttons on the trash popup for fast incrementing/decrementing. Like Black Feather said, it's useful to just get in the habit of trashing 100% of your lower level potions/revives, so "hold down '+' until number stops going up" will be your best friend there. P.S. thanks to the folks who took the time to explain the multi-account thing, hadn't thought about eg double chance for shinies, on top of gym/raid ez-mode. I'm uh very not that into this game but at least it makes sense people aren't doing it solely for e-peen reasons. bitprophet fucked around with this message at 18:03 on Oct 2, 2018 |

Black Feather posted:Is click the wrong word? (Genuine question, English isn't my first or second language.) As stated above, 'tap' is probably most accurate, but no worries! I didn't realize you weren't a native speaker. Now I'm wondering why 'click' entered your vocabulary before 'tap', given how long touch devices have been popular (jeez...over 10 years?! I'm old.)

Henrik Zetterberg posted:People actually buy balls? I can totally see folks who aren't in a stop-dense area needing to do that, yea. Living in an urban region, I wish there was a setting for "literally never hold onto regular balls ever, trash immediately" (or for them to reinstate the "sticky" ball selection) because it's annoying gruntwork to deal with when I'm constantly drowning in the higher 2 ball tiers.
