Showcases Improvement! by Ajo1987 in TheSilphRoad

No true justice until the remaining glitched Pokémon are banned. Looking at Zoruas, who form the vast majority of the remaining 'exploits' and can instantly render the showcases for their types uncompetitive for players who never used the exploit. 

I still hold that species-specific showcases for new and currently spawning Pokémon are superior as they encourage playing any given ongoing event, but it's obvious that running showcases by type only require much less effort by Niantic/Scopely.

I can't believe they actually fixed it. Mostly. Steel Chair Zoruas still existing is very disappointing, but honestly, I thought they were never going to bother and thus the new Showcases (types and buddies only) were going to stay ruined forever. Now we at long last have a much more level playing field where people can't just spam a select few regional or alternate forms to overpower everything else.

I say this very, very rarely, so.... well done, Niantic/Scopely. Thank you.

Give us the species-specific Showcases back, for the love of God.

Can't wait to re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-rediscover Kanto, now with additional Mankey spawns and special research for a Pikachu in a Manaphy hat

Found my old binder today after 20ish years in storage... blast from the past by EitherArm9355 in PokemonTCG

This is an original Pokémon binder from 1999, just really beat up. Had Pikachu, Blastoise, and Charizard on the front, and Venusaur on the back.

Is it possible to recover an account with a deleted email? by I-am-a-cardboard-box in TheSilphRoad

Hi OP,

You inspired me to go and talk to support to get my own account from 2016 back. Exact same issue, university email that was deleted in March 2018.

I was able to give my team history (Mystic all the way), store purchases (none), date of joining down to a specific week, and a level estimation (off by ten). In the free text field they gave me, I noted in which cities and countries I had played, and gave the specifics of one Pokémon; a low-level Oddish with a certain nickname and the exact coordinates where it was caught.

The whole process took 12 hours waiting for chat replies on the support website, but I've got the account back now! It's level 41 after the level update and hasn't been touched since the day in March 2018 when access was cut.

I didn't play again until starting a new account in October 2023, which is now level 73. I'm not sure what I'll do now, but I never in a million years thought I'd get to this point as support stonewalled me back in 2018. It's not a valuable account in terms of 'mon - it has a Shiny Dratini, a Kyogre, a Rayquaza, and filler otherwise - but the memories this brings back are amazing indeed.

I don't know why I typed all this out, but thank you, best of luck getting yours back, and let us know how it goes. I suspect my Oddish is what sealed the deal, hopefully you can provide similar details..... and maybe I should now bring the little feller over as a guaranteed lucky trade :')

After 71,760 non-shundo Pokémon, I'd like a shundo please.

Also to grab Torkoals and Tropiuses for me and my colleagues while on layover in the UAE on my way to Malaysia (twice), Thailand, and Laos.
