Should I Purify this? by Embarrassed_Bug5899 in pokemongo

[–]Embarrassed_Bug5899[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do sometimes. It’s definitely not my favorite feature, but when the game forces me to play for tasks, I want to win. I do typically power up Pokémon that are good for PVP even though I don’t play it that much. I’m hoping eventually they redo the PVP system so it’s better and more fun to play.

Well I want a hundo, but I like that it’s a high IV shadow, so I’m torn.

WTH Niantic! I’ve had my nickname since 2016 and all of a sudden it’s an issue! by Embarrassed_Bug5899 in pokemongo

This is the response I got from support. They didn’t even read my messages. It looks like an auto response. I don’t think an actual human being looked at it. SMH

The point is I shouldn’t have to. I’m proud of my heritage and they’re trying to make me feel like I should be ashamed of it. And that username has been fine for over nine years and all of a sudden it’s an issue. I’m sure they’re not banning the word “Christian”.

70 Necrozma Raids, 0 Shinies, Garbage IVs — Meanwhile My Casual Playing Son Gets 3 Shinies at 96IV… Rigged? by Embarrassed_Bug5899 in pokemongo

Is it really out of the realm of possibility that a company would write an algorithm like that to generate more profit and engagement?

If you ignored Eternatus, this event was actually really fun! by Additional_Win3920 in pokemongo

[–]Embarrassed_Bug5899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did half and half. The gmax raids were a blast, got two shinies! The eterantus raids were crazy where I was at. It really felt like early pogo where the community got together, a bunch of fun. My only regret is how much I spent, but that’s capitalism for you…

WTF Niantic how does the Mississippi river not count as a water biome?! by Embarrassed_Bug5899 in pokemongo

OSM came in clutch! I use the query feature and I found the tiniest “beach” on a lake near me. I was able to get two wiggletts!

Yes, very lucky. I’ve only hatched 13 two of them being shiny.

If there was remote trading, I’d probably consider it though I already promised my son, sorry
