    DEAR NIANTIC - ideas and suggestions for the devs

    Posted: 23 Dec 2019 10:32 AM PST

    Hey Niantic! You guys made a game we all have a lot of feelings about...and this is our spot to express those feelings and make some statements about ways we think the game could be even better for us - and by extension, you!

    If you want to complain about the game in a less constructive way please do so in the Salty Sunday - Rage Rants and complaints thread.

    Here you will find ideas and suggestions - a mix of the positive posts and constructive criticism that reddit's Pokemon Go community have compiled and discussed and up/downvoted by importance and validity for us all. If there's one post on /r/pokemongo you guys should be paying attention to, it's this one, so please do.


    Hey /r/PokemonGo Trainers! This recurring monthly post is for you guys. Sort posts by "top" to see what has been voted most important so far, but consider sorting by "new" as well to weigh in on the most recent ideas!

    Please pay attention to the /r/PokemonGo rules for commenting behavior and civility, and use the report button when necessary to alert the mods to any post or thread that needs a review!

    I have zero Pokestops on my island

    Posted: 24 Dec 2019 03:13 AM PST

    I live on a small island (population of 50) in the north of Scotland, only me and my brother play Pokemon Go. There are no Pokestops or Gyms here, so the game is kinda unplayable.

    I reinstalled the game in October and I've been playing it a lot at university so I've reached level 30. But over the holidays while I'm home there's not much I can do.

    I've emailed Niantic and they just said to ask a Level 40 in your area (my brother is level 22 and that's it for local players)

    I was wondering if someone here wouldn't mind nominating a Pokestop on my island, I could send over a photo and description.

    Thanks for the help

    My First Legendary!!!!!

    Posted: 23 Dec 2019 07:25 PM PST

    I was playing while I was waiting for some food at Olive garden and I noticed I had a prize for finishing 5 research tasks(I think thats what they are called). It asked me if I wanted to wait to open or do it now and (not knowing what it was) I clicked do it now. It was an ARCTICUNO, easily the rarest Pokemon I had ever encountered. I spent like 12 great balls (my best poke ball) and 5 berries just praying that I wasn't gonna miss out on the opportunity. I figured I would never be able to catch it with only great balls, but I finally caught it and felt so happy. Easily one of the best moments I had playing this game.

    Kick off to the new event

    Posted: 23 Dec 2019 11:09 PM PST

    So there i was putting wet clothes in the dryer, all the kids snug and sound in bed, when all of the sudden i start hearing axe-murder screams from my own bedroom. My wife screaming at the top of her lungs. "Baby" "come here" "BABY!".

    She got a shiny beanie hat pikachu. And i about ran over myself getting back there to her!

    Somehow, I think this is actually more appropriate.

    Passed by this very special gym earlier today. https://imgur.com/a/aowutmB

    Saddest day of my life

    Posted: 23 Dec 2019 10:01 PM PST

    I just saw my first shiny (a delibird) but I had no pokeballs and the nearest pokestop was about a 30 minute walk.

    Rocket Grunt Counter Suggestion Chart. - Here's a guide I drew up with the counters I'm currently using. It's a work in progress, trying to use counters that are quick, and easy on potion use. I love these battles and do them with my daughter all the time. I'd like to hear who people like to use.

    In Japanese Pika pika means to sparkle & that is exactly what this little guy did for me. Bringing a bright sparkle for the festive season. I wish you all the same and enjoy the holidays, happy shiny hunting. May joy and happiness shine on everyone :D

    I love shinys so much

    Posted: 24 Dec 2019 07:36 AM PST

    I got a shiny Roselia playing with friends, and I spent quite a long time grinding for candies, but I did it! Shiny Roserade. And then, by some pretty good luck, I got a shiny Kyogre! And a couple other small shinys, like my pink fire chimp!

    Merry Christmas!

    So, I know it's a bit late into December. But every holiday I like go try to match what I put into the gym for the holiday. I celebrate Christmas so my mom and I put Delibird and Stantler in. (I wish people joined in with Santa hat Pikachu/Raichu. But that's okay. :))

    But I'd like to ask if anyone else does these little holiday things when playing Pokémon GO.

    Anyway, I just wanna wish everyone here the best Christmas-Or whichever holiday you celebrate. I hope you have a wonderful time!

    I took my buddy to The Museum of Illusions (L.A.)

    If you're ever in L.A., it's a decent museum, but overpriced imo. It was really hard to get the AR to place my buddy anywhere, though.

    How about letting us re-trade Already traded Pokémon - only for lucky friend trade.

    Posted: 23 Dec 2019 09:00 PM PST

    I definitely understand why Pokémon can't be re-traded because that would lead to farming but because it takes so long to earn to luck into a lucky friend they could let us trade already traded ones. This would give a purpose to bad IV shinnies that we've received from trade. I feel bad throwing them out but I know I'll never use them or power them up

    What do y'all think? Any flaws I'm not seeing to this?

    [Story] The hunt for shiny Gorebyss

    Posted: 24 Dec 2019 05:27 AM PST

    It's more a rant rather than a story, but I didn't know what other flair to use.

    I really like shiny Clamperl and it's colors, but I hate that it has a random evolve mechanic, because now I'm stuck with 6!! shiny Huntail.... I don't even have Gorebyss registered to the Dex...

    I know I could trade for it, but I think 40k dust is to much for a Gorebyss. I just wanted to get this of my chest and complain somewhere. Thank you for reading! ;)

    AR+ is forced and I can't disable it

    Posted: 24 Dec 2019 06:17 AM PST

    Since one of latest updates (can't tell for sure which) AR+ became forced on my phone whenever I try to take a snapshot of a Pokemon. It never worked before as my phone does not support that stuff in the first place.

    No, I DON'T have a setting to "Turn off AR+" in game's settings. It is NOT THERE.

    Yet I can't make a snapshot of any monster 'cause the screen is just plain black and the game asks me to "look around a flat, open area". I tried - nothing happens, camera doesn't even activate (my phone makes a tiny "click" sound whenever it does - so I can tell for sure game isn't even poking phone's camera).

    My phone is DOOGEE S60 (yes, that's a rare model in case you never heard about it), Android 7.0.

    Normal AR worked just fine before. Still works just fine in Buddy screen and only there for whatever reason.

    PSA to anyone without Melmetal.

    Posted: 24 Dec 2019 08:00 AM PST

    Today because of double catch and double transfer if you are to Pinap your Meltan catches you can get enough candy through one box to evolve Meltan to Melmetal! :)

    First Shiny, was my first Pokémon card too!

    Posted: 23 Dec 2019 12:25 PM PST

    Back in roughly 2000, I was 7. I found my very first Pokémon card dropped in my apartment commons trash can. It was a Ponyta, and started my interest in Pokémon to this day.

    Here is my Shiny

    Niantic in legal trouble?

    Posted: 24 Dec 2019 05:14 AM PST

    Apparently I created two PoGo accounts when the game first launched so I decided to have the unused account deleted. I logged a support ticket via their website to have it deleted, but they just sent me the following response:

    "You are receiving this email because you have submitted a request for your Pokémon GO account to be deleted. We are writing to inform you that we have been unable to process your request because, in connection with pending litigation, Niantic currently has a legal obligation to retain certain information pertaining to some of its products and features, which includes some U.S. player account information. Your support ticket has been closed. We recommend that you check back in periodically to know whether we can accept your deletion request in the future. Please know that we are unable to offer any further information regarding this topic at this time."

    PokePals: A website I made to easily connect with the Reddit community

    Posted: 23 Dec 2019 03:11 PM PST

    With communities like r/PokemonGoFriends, I love that I can connect with other Redditors from all over the world but I wished it would be easier to copy the codes. So I created a small, free and Open Source website to make it easier: PokePals

    The website will extract all the codes posted in that subreddit and display the in the best way to add them to the game.

    If you visit on mobile, you will be able to click the copy icon and then paste the code directly into the game. If you visit on your desktop, you will be presented with a QR code to scan.

    If you have any suggestions feel free to let me know! Or you can directly open a PR on the project's GitHub.

    Christmas Luck

    Guess my shiny luck is gone forever.... https://imgur.com/a/cftq2ct/

    It's taken me 2 months, but I've saved up enough to hatch all nine 10ks at once... And just in time for Christmas!

    Posted: 23 Dec 2019 11:02 AM PST

    I've seen others do this, but now it's my turn.

    I saw I had 3 10ks in October. I normally don't get that many together at once since I'm pretty casual and F2P (except money from Google surveys).

    Thought I might be able to save up enough if I hit a gym at least 3 times a week since then. I've gotten about one incubator a week since then and now I'm ready!!! It took some serious will power and dedication since I also couldn't open any gifts in case I got a 7k eggs which would slow my progress.

    Will post the 9 Sableyes when they hatch. :)
