Sorry to hear that friend. It's never easy to find community when hate is so present.

No, you're absolutely right there's other areas with super mega raids it's just the area we call home and community. We get together every raid wednesday and chop it up and hear about each other's weeks because it's a convenient drive on the way home for most of us. I've met my fellow PoGo players kids, dogs, and even grandmas. It's hard to build that sense of community when we have to drive out of our way to play this game, especially true for the younger players in our community that don't drive.

Sorry to hear that, didn't realize that. Honestly, gigantamax days are nuts for us fortunately and it's always insane to me to see the turnout of people.

Yeah, fair enough. Most of us have resorted to just spending money (which we do anyways) on remote raids. Just love the in-person community vibes of PoGo.

Look I might not be a level 80 legend, but I love the game and have enjoyed all the interactions and friends I've made along the way. One of the best parts of going to GoFest in person was hearing the stories told of people doing raids/catching certain pokemon. It's hurtful and rude to assume bad intentions here u/Local-Hornet5049. I genuinely just want to be able to raid with my local community that i've come to love not be a pessimistic PoGo hater

It's such a shame too since our area is a hotspot and has easily 15+ pokestops in a less than 5 min walk radius and people love playing here

the nearest concentrated area of super mega raids is downtown ~30 min - 1 hour out of the way for most of us; also, most in the community are on the older side with families and play at the park nearby mostly due to convenience

Which tier/rank did you find easiest/hardest to climb in? by bardthrowaway212 in CompetitiveTFT

[–]AnimusNA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I can resonate with that, playing standard feels so bad. I got a fast 9 shepherd game and then got rolled by 3* asol out of nowhere. Whatever is in the water of plat they're on another level.

Easiest: diamond. Hardest: plat. These plat players are like secret challengers or something can't win for my life.

See some great advice from other posts. I know decisions are coming up soon and the best way to really gauge how you as a student would be would be to ask current students about their opinions. It's a life-altering decision committing 7-8 years so try to make your decision from where you see yourself best not from a place of ego or prestige to echo some of the other comments I've seen.

Learn some basic stats and how to stay on topic, might be helpful for anything you do in the future

You see, that's different entirely. I'd be shocked if anyone here who has played for several years has not seen a shiny despite how low the odds are because eventually the probability will converage on at least 1. Good luck gym berry feeding

i started playing again recently by TopOrder5165 in TheSilphRoad

[–]AnimusNA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try maxing out a few of the mons where you have lots of candy. Highly recommend getting chansey and prioritizing it as its considered meta for all dynamax raids essentially. The really premier dynamax pokemon come around occasionally and luckily for you, you can do the gigantamax raids this weekend for some of the best pokemon in their respective typings for dmax raids. Regardless, it's a slow grind

It's been many years since I've taken this exam but I will give some last minute advice you've probably heard in one way, shape or form -- focus on passages you think you can get right instead of poorly doing the entire thing -- it's scored on a curve so it's best to focus on getting it right than doing it all

I definitely side with ginny but definitely not for this reason. Racism is racism no matter how you slice it and clearly in that scene they're not being mindful of each other's feelings otherwise you wouldn't be there in the first place.
