    Pokémon GO - A Niantic developer walks into a bar...


    A Niantic developer walks into a bar...

    Posted: 21 Jan 2020 11:52 AM PST

    ...and orders a drink. A drink is brought. The developer takes a drink, spits it out and says "This is horrible, it tastes like monkey pee. Bring me something else. ". The bartender brings another drink. The developer sips and spits it out as well "This is almost as bad as the first one what kind of place is this, bring me something else." The bartender fetches another drink. The developer tastes it and is horrified. "This tastes just like the first one! Why would you bring me the same drink I hated? What do you call these drinks anyway?"
    The bartender replies "TM's"

    Edit: Yes, I know the developers aren't responsible for the TM game mechanics. My apologies to all the devs out there, but "The Vice President of In-Game Monetization for Nintendo and the Chief Game Designer for Niantic walk into a bar" isn't as funny. Besides we all know the real problem is the System Analysts, amiright? It's really their fault. ;)

    But it happened! The only option i suppose is to grind those candies now:)

    Or he will forever be known as "The one that never got evolved" :)

    12 charged TMs later and I still can’t get earthquake for my rhyperior...

    Posted: 21 Jan 2020 10:06 PM PST

    Just went through TWELVE charged TMs and all I have to show for it is skull bash: the same move he had when I first evolved the damn thing...

    This system desperately needs to be corrected ffs...

    Red Slash on Pokemon returns

    Posted: 22 Jan 2020 03:37 AM PST

    Reached today with Velvet (Buneary) Best Buddy. Here is she, very Proud with her Ribbon!

    Posted: 21 Jan 2020 10:01 PM PST

    After 25 Days my beloved Shiny Buneary reached Best Buddy. Since I got her in a Lucky Trade, she walked 1400km with me (since 08/2019). She will forever remind me of my beloved bunny who died a few years ago. Very proud to have her with a Ribbon. Now looking to evolve her and hope to get IV Training in the Future to make her Perfect!

    (Bug) Anyone else not getting a buddy heart for "Visit a new place" when spinning a gym

    Posted: 22 Jan 2020 07:20 AM PST

    It was working fine up until yesterday but I've spun about 20 gyms today and it will not register the heart for my buddy. Anyone else?

    I just want to see if this is a widespread issue today or if it is just me and I need to contact support. Thanks

    EDIT: I confirmed what u/rani_weather wrote and r/TheSilphRoad does mentions this. Looks like the earning extra hearts and half distance candy part of the buddy system is now dead for most trainers. Especially if you are rural or have already visited all of the poke stops in your area. The math doesn't work out.

    After hatching endless amounts of feebas and shinx I finally hatched something worthwhile. Can't wait to turn it into a maxed out haxorus! https://imgur.com/gallery/WAnJr6o

    No risks taken

    Posted: 21 Jan 2020 10:46 AM PST

    Based on a true story. Can't take any risks, nobody wants a shiny to run away!

    How does trade evolution work?

    Posted: 22 Jan 2020 06:52 AM PST

    If I trade a roggenrola for my boyfriend's, does that mean once I evolve it into a boldore the candy requirement will be zero, or do we have to trade boldore specifically?

    What's the best moveset for Gigalith?

    Posted: 22 Jan 2020 05:09 AM PST

    I recently evolved a 3* Boldore with pretty decent IV's to a Gigalith, and from what I've heard (or read), it's one of the best rock types in the game. But it currently knows Smack Down and Heavy Slam. I am alright with Smack Down, but don't know about Heavy Slam, and wanna know which move suits it best, before using those precious charged TMs.

    Which team and why?

    Posted: 22 Jan 2020 04:51 AM PST

    How did you pick your team? Did you go by the colors and maybe picked the Pokemon R/B/Y gameboy game you first picked? Did you go by the definitions of mystic/valor/instinct and chose the word the defined you most? Did you go by the pokemon represented? Or any other reason?

    I know people say pick a team based around your area, but that's not the type of answer I'm looking for here.

    How to maintain higher levels of stardust

    Posted: 22 Jan 2020 02:39 AM PST

    Can people please share how you manage to keep such high numbers of stardust? I can't beat Giovanni without powering up my strongest ones like crazy and generally run out often. I also go through alot of stardust trading. I just can't resist trading alot for the candy because evolution is kind of the point of the game to me. I wish there was a way to buy star pieces alone. What do you guys do?

    Just a friendly reminder of the game's current state/performance

    Posted: 22 Jan 2020 04:57 AM PST

    It's 2020 and Pokemon GO still:

    1. Runs at 720p
    2. Is locked to 30fps
    3. Has done zero effort to add anti aliasing for the extremely jagged lines throughout the entire game. (Niantic) believes having a rooted phone means you are automatically a cheater.

    Thanks for coming to my Ted talk. I know this will never ever be changed sadly.

    EDIT: here is a perfect example of how the game looks like with 60 fps for those saying the difference doesn't matter: https://youtu.be/q5tkbc8DUmk

    Beacon system for solo raiders

    Posted: 21 Jan 2020 03:21 PM PST

    So this idea may have come up before in the past by someone else but I thought I might throw it out there. I'm imagining some type of in game beacon system where your able to let other players know your in your current location, playing the game and would welcome others to play with.

    I view this idea as a very valuable option for players to set up this beacon when at 4 or 5 star raids and basically ask for others to come join you. At the moment you can't tell if anyone is waiting in a raid lobby unless your physically in that area but players could be close by. Sometimes I'll be away from home and in populated areas and you can see lure modules being played so you imagine players are out there but I'll sit in raids and no one shows up ☹️

    As a solo player this would allow me to compete in 4/5 star raids. At this point in the game I have mons viable to help out in raids and I can solo 3's but 4/5 raids are out of the question. I would like local players but there isn't a group and I'm not a very outgoing person.

    It could be something like TM's where they don't drop too often and I think the beacon shouldn't last very long. Maybe 3-5 minutes but I think it could help players and create new meet ups in person.

    What are your thoughts?

    Possible 2020 CD species?

    Posted: 21 Jan 2020 08:33 PM PST

    Since the expected January Piplup Community Day has come and gone, I figured now would be as good a time as any to get some ideas on what future community day species might be. To help out, here are some patterns that I've noticed with CD Pokemon in my limited experience

    • Every other month is a starter. Starters go Grass, Fire, Water • Non-Starter Pokemon are rare normally, most hatching from 10km eggs. Pseudo-Legendary species are quite common • 90% of species (exceptions being Ralts, Pikachu and Eevee) have three stage evolutions. Ralts also has a three stage evolution but I'm keeping it separate because of the branching final evolutions • With the exception of Pikachu, the community day species does not have its shiny form available until community day.

    So, what are we thinking? I think most people were hoping for Gible but idk if that's gonna happen since the shiny is released. More Gen 5 pokemon are being released, so I think some of them are definitely gonna pop up in 2020. Deino seems good, and Timburr since it was just released. But I want to know what you guys think.
