Hooray, a new thread!  I have some suggestions for OP updates: - Making friends and ranking them up is one of the best sources of XP in-game now, especially since Lucky Eggs double the XP bonus. Make a bunch of friends, send gifts, and try to coordinate when you become Ultra/Best Friends. Compared to when the game was first released, it's very easy to hit the "soft cap" of 30 now, which is important for tracking down better spawns and contributing in raids. - IVs are no longer hidden. Appraise tells you (in bar form, still from 0-15) how good the stats are. You can search for perfect Pokemon you own with the filter term '4*'. - New shop items: Team Medallion - 1,000 coins - Switch to a different team. Can only be used once every 365 days. Glacial/Mossy/Magnetic Lure Modules - 200 coins - Special lures for Pokestops that attract specific types/families of Pokemon depending on which one you use. They also let you evolve the Gen 4 Pokemon that needed special locations in the original games (Glaceon, Leafeon, Probopass, Magnezone). - The best bang for your buck in the Shop comes from the Ultra/Adventure Boxes. They are the cheapest source of Premium Raid Passes and Incubators in the game (coins per item) and also come with other useful items (usually Lucky Eggs, Star Pieces, or Incense). I highly recommend saving your coins for one of these boxes. If you get your 50 daily coins from gyms, you can buy one of these boxes every 30 days. The boxes are not always available in the shop but if you wait a week or two they will almost certainly reappear. endlessmonotony posted:Well I got my first Unova pokemon, pokemon_name_0506.

ArmyOfMidgets posted:Hey, anyone with a go-tcha know how to reliably get it to connect? Its hard to work but when i does i catch a mon a minute nonstop at work. Depends on the phone. Older phones may have some trouble with it. My Nexus 5X almost never connected right, until there were some game updates in the middle of last year that specifically addressed Bluetooth connectivity problems. Still have some problms after it but it was an improvement. The GO Companion app never helped. Conversely, my Galaxy S9 has been rock-solid. I will have the rare connection issue (usually after the 1hr timeout), which is fixed by restarting Bluetooth and the game.

ArmyOfMidgets posted:Megas were ultimately a mistake, but I'll take their designs in Go and I appreciate them far more than Dyna or Gigamaxing. Given how we got Alolan stuff last year I'm confident we'll get Galarian stuff around the Sword/Shield release. Imagine having to score gym or PvP battle wins with Farfetch'd to evolve it.

How successful is anyone challenging a far away best friend you don't know personally, as I have the "win against another trainer 7 times" task? Just tap "battle" and hope they respond? How timely is the "Friend received 5 items from your gift" or sent you a gift, meaning they're on and playing right then? Don't do trainer battles much as I don't have many local PoGo friends. I would join the discord in the OP and ask if someone can win-trade with you. That's probably your best bet there.

Hannibal Rex posted:I'm having a hard time finding a type effectiveness chart that's specific to Pokemon Go and also lists double resistances. Does anyone have a link? The type chart is the same as the main games but the damage mods are different. The chart on this page is outdated (these values have been tweaked) but all the explanations are correct: https://pokemongo.gamepress.gg/damage-mechanics All the damage mods are multiplicative. So for example, if you have a Mamoswine using a ground attack in sunny weather against a Scyther, the damage mod would be: 1.2 (same type attack bonus) x 1.2 (weather bonus) x 0.39 (flying is "immune" to ground) x 0.625 (bug resists ground) = 0.351

PathAsc posted:Just being able to communicate in game would be nice Given how nasty some people get in Ingress comm channels, no, you do not want people to be able to chat in Pokemon Go. Actually, I think some form of communication would be nice but they have to account for people of all ages playing this game. It would have to be heavily restricted.

If the global event ticket ends up being a premium event, it could be analogous to one of Niantic's Ingress Anomaly events, where you pay for access to a designated area where you compete in various challenges over a few hours, and the winning team gets an advantage for the next event. Curious to see what they do here.

I still wonder how they're going to handle mega evolution in this game. They've got a year to figure it out. My guess is you pay a large amount of candy/stardust to unlock it for a Pokemon, and they let you freely toggle it on and off. They could also require a Mega Stone item, I suppose. Lazy option is they just make mega forms available as raid bosses only.

Prop Wash posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPVXGrgzbbY Yeah, this was bound to happen eventually. Their submission review system was called OPR - Operation Portal Recon - and was Ingress themed. Since Ingress isn't their only game anymore, they had to strip out the theme at some point. As far as I can tell, you're still unable to access it unless you're L12+ in Ingress. But this is an important step to opening up POI reviews to non-Ingress players.

Got an EX raid a week from Sunday! Also, since we're on the subject... The only downside to having so many EX gyms is that the invite system is still pretty sloppy. It's believed that if you raid at multiple EX eligible gyms, you only have a shot at getting a pass for one of them. Once the system checks one of those gyms for whether EX passes go out, it takes your account out of the running for the other gyms. This can actually cause other gyms to miss out on their EX raids due to no longer having enough unique accounts logged. This probably isn't an issue in dense cities where lots of people play, but it definitely is a thing that happens in less populated areas and suburbs.

Ritznit posted:FINALLY. I'm so, so glad the Wayfarer thing exists. I mean, it should have existed like 3 years ago, but I'm glad nonetheless. I've already reviewed like two dozen stops, no more waiting on Ingress players to do it for me. Makes me way more motivated to submit stops on my own. Has this been rolled out worldwide yet? I know a few regions got access last weekend. I actually hit Level 12 in Ingress last Friday and that got me access. Man, some of the garbage people try to submit...

Prop Wash posted:Lol I just had a stop rejected because I took a picture of a mural of a bee and the reviewer thought that I had taken a picture of a live bee. I enjoy adding stops to the game but Wayfarer is exactly like being a low-level employee at the world’s dumbest data entry company. You must have gotten a lot of dumbass reviewers because it takes several votes to reach a consensus on a submission. In case the mural is so lifelike that it really does look like you took a picture of an actual bee, try taking the photo from a different angle to make it obvious that it is, in fact, a mural. Also make sure it can be found on Google Maps, either on satellite, street view, or photosphere. Actually, I should write up a post about Wayfarer tips and tricks because I've had a lot of prior experience with the system when it was Ingress OPR.
