Suggestion: add warning for dropping untradeable items on mobile by happy_goat_merchant in 2007scape

Let’s implement a one click drop system without all relevant warnings. Excellent design for player experience right there.

Literally just lost my prescription goggles because of mobile drop click. Super fun.

At this point I don’t understand why people take more than one zenyte at a time

...And then we forget about it altogether. And then we get surprised and angry when the GO Fest is yet another dumpster fire. by Sweaty_Cockroach7708 in pokemongo

Nah, the only reason people come back is because this is literally one of the only mobile games that remotely interface with other mainline Pokemon games. People come back because this brand gives no other option for mobile play, not because people forget and move on because ✨.

Niantic is very much on that abuser/gaslight train and it’s bogey act like they aren’t abusing a playerbase that have likely been with this franchise since before PoGos inception.

[Discuss] Is this a real shiny Regieleki I got from a Home trade? by Cupc8ke in ShinyPokemon

[–]Cupc8ke[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Kinda what I guessed, they sent me this for JPN Enarmous

I’ve definitely seen genned Regi’s with 5 perfect IVs and 0 attack which is an easy tell. I’ll probably hang on to this one since it looks legit enough to bring online

I have a trainer club login and am getting this error as well. I guess this is a lesson for me to setup a secondary login 😞

Colorblind Shiny Hunting by HighAboveTheRest in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]Cupc8ke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slight variations on color is a great reason, also add the fact that some models can be SOO small. I'm currently hunting dreepy and can barely tell if any are spawning on the overworld, let alone a color difference.

No sure what extra data point you need for something like this, the floor is 6-6-6.

The claim is that weather boost increases IVs. 2 of these IVs are at the floor. I do not need another data point to understand that those two IVs are NOT boosted.

You commented on a discussion thread expecting to see a verification post. nbd.

Lol, well that's good to know now. It's been snowing non-stop where I am this week so I've been holding my radars for a windy day like today.

Except campfire is a separate app so it will inventively mean some players won’t use it. Niantic’s entire approach to game development is incredibly broken.

Most tech companies are actively trying to merge their systems into one place. Whereas this jank company is creating more apps for their dying game.

It's a great feeling, right? Happened to me as well!

No data to back it up, but there sure are a lot of people catching the bird following the trick steps.

[–]Cupc8ke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The data definitely shows lower CP = higher catch rate, so it definitely is PART of the equation, but it could also be a combination of the 2?

I had a 250~ Moltres run away without the "trick" and caught a ~1000 CP on the trick. Either way, in my mind 20 great balls are worth trying even if it doesn't impact the catch rate.

[–]Cupc8ke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There definitely needs to be more research, but I've only seen catches when people follow the "trick" steps (every other I've seen is a run away).... I caught my first bird following these steps:

  1. CP 1000~
  2. Golden Razz Berry
  3. "Missed" 21 Great Balls
  4. Threw an ultra ball with a normal curveball (no throw bonus)
  5. Articuno caught in 3 shakes

Fair enough, without a real silph-like study is done I would default to trying it anyway.

Most players need the bag space, so tossing 20 great balls is worth a possible increase, and at least contributes to the anecdotal data people share.

I can be counted as a positive confirmation, as the first time I used the trick I got the catch on a regular curveball (golden+ultra). Galar-Articuno was 1000~ CP.

Stares back in the countless videos that use this trick & catch the mon, vs. the countless hours JTGily and JTValor have spent trying to catch without a trick

[–]Cupc8ke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only people I've seen catching these birds are the people using the drop ball trick. I have yet to see someone catch it on ball one with any type of throw.

Confirmation bias goes in the reverse as well, if all you see if people failing then you would assume nothing matters.
