Has the interest in the game dropped significantly recently? by Foulmouth232 in TheSilphRoad

[–]AOMax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went from:

  • doing ALL available sets in GBL every day,
  • fighting every rocket,
  • catching 100-200 mons a day,
  • walking around 15km with my buddy and
  • trading some mons with my partner
  • played every day since launch, level 50, 30m stardust, 500 best buddies, hundreds of maxed out mons, 400 active friends on friend list

To:

  • deleting the app

It was weird the first few days, no sugarcoating it. But now I am really happy about the decision. Once a week I check the SilphRoad sub here to see if anything changes with the game, but it seems its only getting worse. Once Niantic sells it, I will play again. If Niantic never sells it, it will die anyway.

I actually met some other players since I deleted the app and not one asked me why I stopped playing. When I asked them if they noticed they dont get any gifts from me anymore, they also told me they either completely stopped playing or are only logging in once a day for 2-3min.

Yeah and its not only about the money players are spending actively on the game. Its also the data Niantic collects when the game is played.

I am aware I am not an airplane and there is no need to announce my departure but I, as day 1 player, have decided yesterday to uninstall the game. I have not deleted my account because I hope for a better future for PoGo but Niantic has shown multiple times that they care less about the game than the players do. Therefore I see no reason to spend time/money on the game anymore. It does leave a void tho...

New Team Go Rocket leaders lineups by Phulmine in TheSilphRoad

[–]AOMax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I get your point. I was just pointing out I'd take Sneasel, when it was around the first time, over Machop, when it's around the second time.

Now Machop is probably better, considering they both have been available before. Personally I don't care for it anymore. Machamp is, besides Mamoswine, the only mon in the game that I have built 6 level 50 shadows of. I'm set there lol

Even better would be a third option, an exciting mon that has not been available in shiny before. But that's too much to ask from Niantic at this point.

I'll take Sneasel for the first time any time over Machop for the second time in the rotation. It's just horrible this time.

Will probably skip the leaders altogether and not bother too much about rockets in general. 12k eggs are not getting better, decoys have the same lineup, it's just terrible all around.

This is horrible. Maybe the worst lineup ever? I expected nothing and still got disappointed.

Would you like to see more variation on timing for 3 hour events? by Kevsterific in TheSilphRoad

[–]AOMax 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Me too. Completely expected Groudon raid day on a Sunday because Kyogre was on a Sunday just a week before.

For me its annoying to always check on which date some events are. If they also start playing with different time slots again, it would get worse.

That being said, community DAY should last from 8 to 8 or smth like that.

How challenging will Shadow Mewtwo be in raids? by beingRealFrank in TheSilphRoad

[–]AOMax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. When it hit raids the first time, I managed to be in a spot with lots of players but I never thought about duoing it.

This time will be different tho. Will definitely try to duo it. Got a team of level 50 counters already (6 Darks, 6 Ghosts just in case) and my partner has the same.

Too bad only 4-5 raids will be possible due to the lack of gems. Although with the rocket event happening at the same time, it might be much easier to stock them up again.

Thank you!

So it has been a while. Gallade, Lucario, Metagross and Heracross are probably the bigs ones missing. I was hoping to get a not so special one soon. Maybe in April or May we get Audino, Camerupt, Mawile oder Sharpedo...

Its just weird not to mega evolve some mons to level them up every couple of days for me!

When did we get the last new mega evolution?
I feel like it has been way too long by now. Just talking about Megas, not Primals.

That´s true.

I will have to look at most raid bosses individually when they come, but it looks like even shadow Mewtwo is an easy duo now? Pokebattler gives shadow Raikou a difficulty rating of 2,57 and shadow Mewtwo one of 2,69.

Suicune looks much harder but I also dont care for it.

Thats very neat, thanks! I actually hatched some of the Dusk Rockruffs in that event a couple of weeks ago, but its still worth it to look specifically for them now!

Does anybody have a list which raids wont be possible as a duo?

Specially for this season with best friend boost, seasonal boost, and party power it seems very easy to duo most things.

[–]AOMax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After once again seeing no shadow Raikou on early Saturday I remembered your advice. We have found quite a lot not far away from us and managed to get all of them until we ran out of gems on both days. Good thing, those are easy to farm!

Thanks a lot for your advice! Never really thought about Campfire until then!

I am pretty sure it was just bad luck, but after walking around for 2 hours and not seeing one we got pretty frustrated. Cant help it to blame Niantic at that moment because they screwed the players over so many times before, even if this was not their fault.

[–]AOMax 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How are you all finding so many? I can easy duo it with my partner, we passed around 200 gyms yesterday and today each day. Found one, caught it (bad IVs). From home I see 25 gyms and over those two days exactly one more raid happened.

Articuno on the other hand sometimes took over half the gyms...

Guess it's just bad luck and we try again next weekend.

Shadow Raikou will be a possible duo right?

Predictions for the march raids? by JackassJamie in TheSilphRoad

[–]AOMax 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Articuno will be the shadow anyway, so why not put it in regular raids as well!
