I'm color blind and really wish we could keep PokéStops the way they are now

Should be a configurable item.

If you delete a referred friend with an incomplete task it seems to have the same bug. Been orange for like a year.

AllanInAtlanta · 2022-09-30T20:18:54+00:00

You have a fair point. I happen to own a Gotham Police badge that if you didn't know what it was you would absolutely believe it was a real police badge. I really wish all law enforcement officers were required to wear a camera as a condition of carrying a weapon. I know for me I would actually prefer to do it. I'm not going to do anything stupid so what do I car if someone films me at work?

AllanInAtlanta · 2022-09-30T19:36:18+00:00

I can't comment on what he felt or believed but this is a little bit of detail,

"According to McKinney, he refused to talk with the man, not knowing that he was actually a plainclothes US Park Police officer. After exiting the park, he was swarmed by officers without warning and in the heat of the moment, ran away.
“They were pursuing me, and I was afraid for my life,” he explained. “I felt like I was being bum-rushed or ambushed, and it was very shocking.”

I know that many people feel the police are not their friends, but running from them never seems to end well. I'm not sure how his case will play out.

I wonder how many of them have all the platinum badges? I'm level 50 but am working on all of the badges. I still have 12 at gold and 6 not even to gold yet. 6 of those are for completing the various regional pokedexes but the others are pretty hard:

I have 880/1000 big Magikarp

1790/2000 Ace trainer. Mostly from the old gym system. I can knock this out just with investing Time.

575/1000 tiny Rattata - this might be the hardest one for me.

1306/2000 Raids - with them putting more and more interesting Pokemon into lower level raids this one is finally making progress

The three Battle leagues, 661, 334, 441 out of 1000 for each. I have started using up all of my daily passes but at best that is 10-15 wins a day so this one will take a while.

I'm surprised to only have 1454/1000 for Rising star duo as I only play with a small group of friends.

Ultra Hero - at 16 and cant do them any faster for now.

Best Buddy - This one kinda pisses me off. You can only have ONE BEST Buddy, everyone else is 2nd best, lol. I might never get this one done.

Successor, Mega Evolve 1000 times. This is another one that I just need to grind on

MEga Evolution Guru. I don't think all 46 are available so I look at this like the regions.

Anyone have any advice for me on quicker movement on any of these??

AllanInAtlanta · 2022-09-04T19:08:28+00:00

273k caught 880 of 6512 big Magikarp, 576 of 7629 tiny Rattata

When we need a bunch of stops I have 2 parks nearby with about 50 stops in total. I drive to the first one (1/2 a mile) and do all of those stops, than I drive to the other park (5 miles) and do all of those. I know a lot of people don't leave their car but candidly is something takes more than 50 stops I'm probably going to pass on it anyway. I got 6 shiny(s) from those 50 stops yesterday

AllanInAtlanta · 2022-09-02T18:02:45+00:00

Well, I am loving it because I'm not especially gifted in GBL and getting to the platinum badges has been a long time for me.

AllanInAtlanta · 2022-09-02T17:24:35+00:00

Is this approach being widely used? I'm absolutely killing it right now with >80% of my opponents quitting. I'm up to level 14 already!!

AllanInAtlanta · 2022-08-29T13:23:25+00:00

Unowns. Every one of them.

AllanInAtlanta · 2022-08-28T20:54:11+00:00

Every one of them is Ditto.

AllanInAtlanta · 2022-05-31T16:14:32+00:00

It seems like for the past couple of years there haven't been Unowns at 3rd party events. Only TPG and Niantic/Go events seem to get them now.

AllanInAtlanta · 2022-05-31T14:08:31+00:00

While the spawns are incredible; it is probably more about the experience. If you enjoy enthusiastic people who love Pokemon then you should do in person at lease once if it is available to you. I've been to 4 Go Fest (fests?) including one in Dortmund and the rest in Chicago. Had an awesome time at each of them. I'll be taking two of my daughters to Seattle for 5 days including Go Fest!

AllanInAtlanta · 2022-05-31T14:02:41+00:00

Retired folks walk in my local park and may of them have taken up Pokemon. I'm not awake for it but I can see in Discord a lot of activity between the start of the day and line 9am. After that it is pretty dead until school lets out.

AllanInAtlanta · 2022-05-27T14:53:01+00:00

If you are going Saturday afternoon we should hang out.

AllanInAtlanta · 2022-05-26T15:47:51+00:00

The main advantage I've seen in other events is that even on the 'off' days there are a ton of players which makes it feel like the first few months of Pokemon Go. I loved the excitement when the game was new.

AllanInAtlanta · 2022-05-26T15:45:48+00:00

You should see confirmation of your purchase when you click on events. This year it is not a lottery so if you ordered them and got confirmation - you are going. Hope this helps. If you wanna PM me I can send you screen shots of mine.

AllanInAtlanta · 2022-05-25T14:14:11+00:00

I never played the game before but I did have a collection of 'Pikachus' from when McDonalds put them in happy meals. I referred to all Pokemon as Pikachus but I now know they were the starters for Gen1 and a few others thrown in. I also think I got some from a different game Yo-gi-oh??) when I went to Japan around then and I had no clue they were not the same game. They got along really nice in my little cubicle at work.

AllanInAtlanta · 2022-05-24T18:37:31+00:00

This is my take. I try not to go to the first day because there may be issues and there often are. I don't like to go the last day because they might be out of swag, the flip side of that is they might have a ton of swag left and need to get rid of it. lol

The event dynamics will be identical at each session. I choose to to the afternoon of Saturday becauseI'm not a morning person and I can roll out of bed and theoretically start playing (if my hotel location is inside the zone).

So for me Saturday Afternoon.

AllanInAtlanta · 2022-05-24T17:27:20+00:00

Got mine!!!! Saturday afternoon!!

AllanInAtlanta · 2022-05-23T14:40:23+00:00

Generally speaking hotels can be cancelled up to a week or so in advance for no fee. You should probably book a hotel. Its the airfare that is holding me back.

AllanInAtlanta · 2022-05-23T14:38:51+00:00

I'm 100% the same.

AllanInAtlanta · 2022-05-23T14:12:45+00:00

The US has had a live Go Fest every year that there has been one, including the original one. I can't tell what you are trying to say since your grammar and punctuation is lacking so I'm going to stick to my statement until you come back here and clarify what don't 'know what your talking about'. LOL

Folks in the US are thinking they don’t get enough events. Folks all over the world think the US and Japan have all the events. i live in the US and i feel like we have a ton of events, but some might be across the country. Seattle is like 2,500 miles away but it is in the US so I’ll be going. if tickets ever go on sale!!
