    DEAR NIANTIC - ideas and suggestions for the devs

    Posted: 27 Jan 2020 10:33 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!

    3 shiny Magikarp in a row. What are the odds?

    Posted: 28 Jan 2020 01:49 AM PST

    What are the odds? 3 shiny Magikarp in a row.

    This morning on the way to work I caught 3 shiny Magikarp one after another. What are the odds of this?

    Also, is the shiny rate boosted for this event or am I just lucky? This makes 5 shiny Magikarp during the event. Anyone having similar luck?

    3 flappy bois

    This One’s for Kobe...

    The 24th Pokémon of the National Pokédex is a snake who's shiny is gold and purple. Nothing else seemed to fit better.

    Growing up as a basketball fan in Southern California, Kobe Bryant was everything, but the pure talent and work ethic he had transcended basketball. He will be missed dearly, but never forgotten. Sending my thoughts to Kobe and Gianna's family, along with the families of all victims of yesterday's tragic accident.

    Maybe make Niantic's random less random?

    Posted: 28 Jan 2020 04:09 AM PST

    If it is random at all.

    Remember how you get lucky friend from another side on Earth the next day you become best, and waiting years for lucky friendship with your companion in every raid?

    And when you get 40 lvl, catching becomes hard. Is it some twisted reward for your progress? What's the meaning of great curve ultraball throw with rasp, if ordinary pokemon can break it?

    And how about your fingers being frozen when you trying your best to catch raid boss in -10 Celsius and it still escapes?

    So ideas are:

    1. Niantic, you got our geo and it SHOULD matter. Friends from far away should have less lucky friendship chance, and close buddies should have highest;
    2. Best friends who interact actively (raids, trades, battles, close geo) should have 1 guarantied lucky friendship in 3-6 months;
    3. Pokemons should get weaker with every pokemon break, as we are. It means that catch rate should increase with every break, but not affect escape rate;
    4. Please keep our fingers healthy. Bad weather – snow, rain, cold – should increase catch rate, but not affect escape rate.

    Players! What do you think about this?

    Invert colors here for phones set on Night mode so we don't burn our eyes every time we open the app at night.

    It hurts every damn time I want to check the surroundings before going to sleep, and I use my phone on the lowest possible brightness most of the time.

    So I've Been Working On a Pretty *Nice* Collection...

    I've been working on some similar ones for 420 and 666, but this one is my pride and joy so far. Finding your own themed things to collect is just another aspect of fun to the game! And yes... Nice.

    Gym Glitch?

    Posted: 28 Jan 2020 06:10 AM PST

    Idk if there's a specific reddit thread for glitches in Pokémon go but after this recent update, gyms stop appearing on the map. I'll open the game and the gyms will be there. But after a while of having it open, they no longer show up. Is anyone else experiencing this?

    They come back if I restart the app, but it's definitely annoying to have to do that.

    In my opinion, Lapras is getting a little old. Anyone have ideas when and what the next rotation will be for the box?

    Support says lucky rates were boosted on time, discredits Silph Road as "third party"

    Posted: 27 Jan 2020 03:02 PM PST

    https://imgur.com/gallery/9PwPfPM

    I reached out to support about the unadjusted lucky rates on the first day of the event. Silph Road reported they were still 5% but then got boosted to 9% the second day.

    Support is refuting their research.

    Yesterday I caught my first ever Gyarados, but I’m worried that even a Magicarp would easily take him down

    Whats with the berry defence???

    Posted: 28 Jan 2020 03:59 AM PST

    Me and my partner were out battling a gym for over half an hour and had to concede. We finally knocked out everyone except for the last two. A snorlax and a gyarados. But they kept feeding them berries. We kept winning and winning and winning but they kept healing and healing. We beat them god only knows how many times. Then in the middle of a battle suddenly it is full again back up to 6 defenders.

    We gave up. For now. We will be back after dark to smash them.

    What has the game come to that you Can just defend a gym with berries?

    Worst part is that we couldnt see anyone around. Pretty darn sure they were spoofers.

    [Idea] Condense some items, such as Lures, Incense, and Special Lures. Spray a lure on the player or a pokestop, twice to make it doubly effective in an elemental slot

    Posted: 28 Jan 2020 06:09 AM PST

    The idea: All lures, incense, and special lures get combined into 1 item type, just called Lure or Incense Lure (2x received per current special lure). The description says it can be sprayed on a player or pokestop.

    When spraying on a pokestop, the UI has a central disc with the lure in it, and then 3 discs below with elemental types, for which one can be selected. A second lure icon appears on them if tapped, and the confirmation button says "Spend [Lure Icon] x 2"

    This makes buying lures & incense much more appealing, without having to stress over whether the right one is being picked, which leads to paralysis. It makes receiving either feel like it offers so many more options, and condenses the inventory list.

    Another possibility, condense Lucky Eggs and Star Pieces into "Lucky Stars". When the player activates it, they have the option of 2 modes, and a confirmation button. It's currently actively stressful accidentally enabling a lucky egg or star piece when trying to scroll through the inventory screen with visual lagginess, with no confirmation button. As great as a minimalist UI is, this is one place where combining those would work better. Receiving lucky eggs at max level is also more appealing, making boxes containing them more appealing.

    How many people do wayfarer?and who would be wanting to do it more if there was a small stardust reward?

    Posted: 28 Jan 2020 06:35 AM PST

    As asked. Who does. And for those who don't, who would do it if there was say a 100 stardust toward for each agreement? Because I feel I would review a lot more if I could get 100 stardust each correct review done

    This game led me to my new best friend!

    Posted: 27 Jan 2020 03:10 PM PST

    When the game originally came out, I began playing with my girlfriend at the time and it brought us closer together. It was a dark time in my life and she helped pull me out of thoughts of suicide. We quit playing in time, and shortly after proposing to her she cheated on me and indirectly I had to put my career path on hold for two years after the guy she cheated on me with tricked me into smoking THC oil out of a vape pen.

    Feeling crappy about everything, I left, and found myself in a relationship that turned verbally and emotionally abusive, which also fell apart. This all took place over 5 years. Feeling lost, upset, severely damaged self esteem, and that the world was against me for months, I started a new semester. I decided to start playing again after 3 years or so since campus is a hotspot and it gave me something to take my mind off everything that's happened. Second day of class, I see a woman sitting on the floor swiping furiously at her phone screen. I ask her "Are you taking my gym?" And the rest is history. She's helped me put myself back together, reminded me I'm worth more than I've been told, constantly makes me laugh and smile, and has become my best friend. Without this game, there's no telling where I'd be mentally. We now play every day and I it's always the highlight of my day.

    Suggestion: Kecleon is spawned transparent with opaque red stripe

    Posted: 28 Jan 2020 05:32 AM PST

    I just read the wiki#Biology) of Kecleon. In the biology part,

    Kecleon is able to change the colors of its body at will, and is known for frequently using this ability to camouflage itself. However, it is unable to change the color of its red stripe.

    But it is still not perfectly cool because there is a ripple circle surrounding a spawn.
