    Salty Sunday - Rage Rants and complaints

    Posted: 10 Jan 2021 01:00 AM PST

    Have you been the one missing the Mewtwo EX raidpass?

    Maybe you haven't been lucky the whole week and that damn raid Tyrannitar ran and everyone else caught him.

    Or the worst part, maybe it's monday again?!

    (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

    Here we rant about everything that goes wrong, someone who sniped a gymspot ( ￣Д￣）, a missed Tyrannitar again (ಠ_ಠ) or that stupid bug which made you miss your raid because of the server desync, ending the raid prematurely (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ

    No personal insults, no trolls and provocation but all salty stuff is accepted.

    • Only salty posts allowed ( ಠ_ಠ )

    • No uncivilty or personal information allowed. ☜(`o´)

    • Complaints can be posted here as well, agree that stuff needs to change here as well, like the spawn rate or gym bugs.

    (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

    Don't forget to hydrate after all the salt!

    Ten genuine suggestions on how to improve Pokemon go

    Posted: 10 Jan 2021 07:35 AM PST

    Hi,

    As an avid Pokemon Go player since July 2016 I have made this list of ten genuine suggestions on how I think the player experience can be improved within the game.

    ​

    • Style vs Wardrobe

    The style UI of Pokemon Go is one of the only areas of the game that has never received an update. I would propose updating the 'Style' to a 'Wardrobe' button and have only contain parts of outfits that have already been unlocked or purchased behind it. To counter-balance this, I would add another tab to the Shop which would contain all of the outfits and cosmetics that can be purchased. Why? Having to scroll through endless purchasing options to find the items you own is annoying and impractical, it also means that we are limited to exactly what items we already own and have the option to browse the store if we feel the need to.

    ​

    • Lucky Trades

    Due to the introduction of remote raiding, players such as myself find themselves with multiple lucky friends who future trades with will be near impossible (I'm UK and have 4 lucky friends in Singapore). I would propose that Niantic introduce the rule that Lucky Trades are able to circumvent all distance and allow players to undergo international lucky trades. While this may be extreme, from Good friend to Best is 90 days with a 1/60 chance of going lucky post-best friends, this means that all lucky friends represent a long-term investment and cannot possibly be abused.

    ​

    • Best Friend Organisation

    Many people will manipulate the giving/receiving of gifts so that they are in control of when they go ultra/best friends so that they can lucky egg and receive 2x the experience. While this is the norm, it can leave players wondering "Why isn't X opening my gift and going best friends?". While this can be easily organised with people you know, it can be hard with people who you are not in contact with, my suggestion would be to add a notification option that can be sent to other players. If i received a notification going "Player X has suggested going Best friends now, please click Yes if you are ready". While this relies on player kindness, without re-doing the whole friendship/gift system if is the best we are going to get.

    ​

    • Skipping the Raid Countdown

    Soloing a one-star raid will now take me a maximum of 20-30 seconds. Standing around and waiting for this two-minute countdown to finish can sometimes be extremely mundane, especially when you plan on soloing it anyway. I would suggest adding a "Player Ready" option, once all players have stated themselves as ready, the countdown can jump to 10 seconds. This would mean faster raids for players and more playtime/raids/money for Niantic.

    ​

    • Daily Remote Raid Passes

    It is about time that the daily raid pass we get be turned into a remote pass. Not only would this help with the current global Coronavirus pandemic but isn't it about time? This would help vastly with rural players, players who lack pokemon go playing friends and would encourage people to get involved more with local communities knowing that they do not have to travel twenty miles to join the raid. It would again encourage people to purchase more passes during raid hours, events etc.

    ​

    • Expanding the size of the Pokemon Box for New Players

    When starting pokemon go, the original pokemon box size is 300. Consider that there is now 600+ pokemon in the game, if a player simply wanted to catch one of every pokemon they would have to expand their box six times just to reach this level. Whilst this may seem unfair for existing players who are into the 2k+ box sizes, my suggestion would be to globally increase all pokemon box size by 300 for free. If this seems extreme, remember that the maximum pokemon box size is now 3000 and to go from 300-3000 will cost a player $100+ or 10,800 pokemon coins.

    ​

    • Addiction/Gambling

    There is no argument to be made against the fact that taking parts in raids should be considered a form of gambling and needs addressing. While many of us are happy to do one raid, get the dex entry and be done with it, many more do not feel this way. Freemium games make more money off the top 1% of players than the other 99% combined. I met an individual who undertook 200+ raids when the raid rotations switched to Darkrai, although he had 3 hundos, he was simply unlucky and was actually after the shiny, he had no other way to accomplish this as Darkrai is mythical and cannot be traded. My suggestion would be to add an in-game limiter that can be self-configured by the player to how much time or money can be spent daily.

    ​

    • Player Nominated Pokestops

    This feature within pokemon go was one of the most hyped, the idea that players can suggest pokestops and have them approved or denied was brilliant. The problem is that we as players are not notified if the pokestop is confirmed or denied AND the timeline that it takes is absolutely ridiculous. I have been told by reliable sources that a pokestop nomination can take up to six months to take effect, in the modern and digital world this is just laziness by Niantic. This process needs to become streamlined, during the data entry it states that there are reviewers who will review your entry, but why not place a temporary stop and ask players that spin it if is acceptable stop or not.

    ​

    • Shiny Hunting

    I would suggest that an update be made so that shinies with pokemon go follow the rules of Pokemon: Let's Go or Pokemon Sword & Shield. This would require a code change that would roll for the shiny pokemon on appearance of our screen instead of when the pokemon is clicked. This sytem would be better I feel than finding a nest of a particular pokemon and walking around clicking every single one without catching it.

    ​

    • Unachievable Goals

    I can't have been the only person that got extremely annoyed with the jump that Niantic made between Gold and platinum medals?

    Gold Backpacker - 2,000 Pokestops, platinum 50,000.

    Gold Gym Leader - 1,000 hours (41.6 days), platinum 15,000 hours (625 days).

    Level 40 - 20 Million Exp, Level 50 - 176 Million.

    Whilst we all know that Pokemon Go is not simply a game that you can 'finish' these increases all throughout the game show that Niantic is actively leaning into the addiction side of their game and not really caring for the benefit of their players, if you still doubt this, please remember the introduction of Mega Evolutions. My suggestion would be to cap the EXP limits needed for leveling post 40 at 5 Million (39-40) and still leave the level-based tasks that need to be done. In terms of medals, i would suggest looking at the requirements for a gold medal and simply doubling it instead of x15, x10 or x5 respectively.

    All of this also applies to XL Candy as well, to get enough XL Candy to get Mewtwo to level 50 would require an insane amount of raids, luck & money. I would suggest lowering the exchange rate from Candy to XL candy from 100 to 20.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I know that no one at niantic will actually read any of these suggestions and perhaps that is part of the problem, they genuinely do not seem to take any player feedback onboard unless outrage happens in the hundreds of thousands such as when Mega Evolutions were introduced.

    If you made it this far, thanks for reading, please let me know what you think of these suggestions, if you hate/support them. I just wanted to say that i still genuinely love Pokemon Go and have encouraged multiple friends to play, i just think that the game definitely has space for improvement.

    Finally caught Ferroseed with a mere 10 hours to spare! Thanks to this community - 1 lure and incense did the trick!

    Posted: 10 Jan 2021 02:39 AM PST

    For context I've been diligently playing all week, checking raids regularly and ... nothing. No sign of Ferroseed anywhere. I live in London so no shortage of stops and gyms where I live either. Checked the sub for tips on catching and success! Earned my medal :)

    XP for Defeating Rockets?

    Posted: 10 Jan 2021 06:16 AM PST

    I'm not sure if the "flair" for this is complaint or idea so im putting it in complaints.

    I just feel that we should get some XP for defeating the Rocket grunts and Admins.

    Sure, I can see how this can be exploited since there are so many grunts and admins popping up, especially if you live near a few Pokestops, but like, they're supposedly some bad, evil organization, and the only thing we get are a couple of "special" pokeballs for catching shadow pokemon?

    In the past, the only incentive for doing all the Rocket battles was for the legendary at the end of the Giovanni fight... which is indefinitely cancelled due to Covid? (correct me if I'm wrong on this point, I'm not too sure.)

    I just think that maybe a bit of XP would be nice (like maybe 50XP per Premier ball), and it would at least, make some sort of in-game sense.

    This guy is both the best and the worst pokemon in the game

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 01:46 PM PST

    Yes, this is the weakest pokemon in the game, it has no attacking moves and the worst IVs you can get. I am the proud owner of the worst pokemon in pokemon go. 0 IV Magikarp (Sorry if you saw something like this before it was formatted wrong)

    Pokémon Go - Mega Abomasnow Solo With One Mega Charizard Y

    Posted: 10 Jan 2021 05:14 AM PST

    Pokémon Go - Mega Abomasnow Solo With One Mega Charizard Y

    Hey Guys.
    I just did the world's first solo Mega Abomasnow with just using one Mega Charizard Y without a friendship boost.
    ►About this video:
    After doing solo Genesect with one level 52 Mega Charizard Y, today I am presenting you the world's first-ever Mega Abomasnow solo with just using one Level 52 Mega Charizard Y without any friendship boost. The weather was sunny due to that my Charizard and also Abomasnow were both boosted. It took me 04 mins and 56 secs to complete this Mega raid. The moves on Mega Abomasnow were powder snow + energy ball. The moves on my Mega Charizard Y were fire spin + dragon claw + blast burn
    .►Note:
    I couldn't find a single video on the internet where someone did a Mega Abomasnow raid with just using one Pokémon without a friendship boost. There are tons of videos where people are using a team of 6 Pokemon and a couple of videos where they are using just one Mega Charizard Y but with the friendship boost. So, I guess I am the first one who did that.

    Mystery box!?!

    Posted: 10 Jan 2021 07:50 AM PST

    (solved) For those of you players who don't have the switch with pokemon let's go, but are claiming their meltans through pokemon home. I have filled up my pokemon home box and cannot understand how to transfer them out of there to make room for new (pogo to home transfers)? so I can continue earning the box.

    Ps. Melmetal is a beast
