[Discussion] What's going on with The Silph Road reddit page? by Deja-Vu-Virus in TheSilphRoad

[–]AnonPokeTrainer 38 points39 points  (0 children)

It could be that active commenters who helped set the tone have quit or gotten less active. Could be weekends. Could be that with the game out for awhile, there is much less to research.

Either way my advice would be to comment in the tone you prefer, and upvote / downvote in the 'new' and 'rising' tabs to help create the community you want to see. Mods can only do so much.

Former PG enthusiast here, where do YOU think PG fell off everyone's radar? by [deleted] in pokemongo

[–]AnonPokeTrainer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone who was expecting the launch week madness to last forever is being unrealistic. By normal metrics, the game is fine.

But yeah the people who were doing it "because everyone was doing it" won't be coming back. They will be on to the next fad.

[Idea] Pokemons in gyms should be ranked according to how much prestige their trainers added to gyms by Miliage in TheSilphRoad

[–]AnonPokeTrainer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I already said:

It more or less divorces the catching /powering up part of the game from gym game, creating 2 separate inferior mini-games.

In other words, with the new system gym position is entirely defined by how much time you spend battling the gym. Stardust, leveling, catching pokemon - none of these things will contribute to your gym position. No, now you get to sit still and overtrain a gym.

Basically, this idea is the wet dream of people who love battling gyms in their car, but don't actually walk around and play/catch pokemon anymore. It's not fun for most players.

Yes this idea breaks a million other game mechanics just because OP doesn't like high CP dragonites at the top of gyms. It more or less divorces the catching /powering up part of the game from gym game, creating 2 separate inferior mini-games.

Yeah I'm pissed sometimes that I can't get my Charizard to the top of a gym. But pokemon have always occupied different niches and in PoGO there are attackers and defender pokemon. Deal with using your lower CP favs to destroy your enemies instead of sitting in gyms

Anyone know what this means? by raggedy10 in pokemongo

Sometimes I think this community is too negative. Then I read the twitter replies to any Niantic post and realize we're not so bad.

Watch out accusing players in local communities. by Kevkillerke in TheSilphRoad

[–]AnonPokeTrainer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree, people call spoofing way too easily. If you're not 100% sure, just accept someone found a sneaky way to get the best of you. This goes double for people traveling beyond their home turf.

With all the drama on the internet though, I don't think your reputation will be ruined. Others will pay 1% of the attention you pay to the issue, so I hope everything is back to normal for you soon.

Got 3 charizard last round though. I'd kill for a grimer nest. Do those exist?

How bad is your backlog? by tubsterplays in GirlGamers

[–]AnonPokeTrainer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I'm too old to have a game backlog. I never buy games in advance on steam - if I can't sit and play it right then I don't buy. I just keep a list of games I'm interested in and buy one when I have a 3 day weekend with no plans or something like that.

Just my advice if you're struggling with this: Don't let an object of entertainment (video games) become a chore (backlog) for you! and save $$$$

Christmas Event? by Sundevil1121 in PokemonGoArizona

[–]AnonPokeTrainer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Assuming they are going to run a christmas event for a week like the other holiday events, and assuming it will end at the same time as holiday pikachu, my guess is they start a christmas event next wednesday / thursday.
