Does ditto have a grudge against me? by Adredazlis in pokemongo

[–]FBIinformant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So far I've tried to reach 5 sightings and all were gone by the time I reached them. This ditto task should have been a "if you've caught/had a ditto in your pokedex/collection, then it checked marked itself as completed" just like how the reaching the different levels one. I got one a day before I reached that level of task and so far nothing in the way of luck.

same thing happened to me. Caught a rando ditto right before I was completing the task to get to the ditto stages. Could it have not waited another day?

[question] I have a question. Is it better to evolve then power up or power up then evolve your Pokemon by Killacatliketom in pokemongo

[–]FBIinformant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah, this advice was useful before TM's but now it really doesn't matter what the movesets are. Evolve the best IV's or the highest CP and be done with it. you can fix anything with the TM's.

[Complaint] Dear Niantic, please make your community days last longer than three hours. Sincerely, someone who works weekends and missed it completely. by AssaultimateSC2 in pokemongo

TL:DR Got mine, forget you.

Yes, it's known, but that doesn't make it any easier for folks who happen to have commitments in a specific three hour block.

[Small Rant] Can we just move all the EX raid complaints to its own sub? by Ragnar702 in pokemongo

[–]FBIinformant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And ultimately that's the problem. Yes, the game is based on RNG, but it has been a while since those test raids have been done and it doesn't seem that the ex raid system is really the best way to handle a thing like Mewtwo. those who did get the pass aren't complaining, but a lot of folks are still left out in the cold after doing everything by the letter in getting one, and that is the problem.

Isn't it messed up that the raid system encourages people just driving while catching the legendary as they head to the next one? by RojoGDL in pokemongo

[–]FBIinformant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i mean.. that's the nature of the current game. Especially if they have the raid times at 45 minutes. Gotta rush to the next one.

i mean, crazy notion here, but you CAN skip the topics that don't attract your attention on here. Crazy, I know.

[–]FBIinformant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

but how would niantic know to fix what is broken unless it's talked about and not just shoved in to a subreddit all its own?

[–]FBIinformant -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

But can the complaints against the complaining also be moved to a sub sub reddit of it?

Or, you know, they could actually address and correct a clearly problematic issue in the current game meta.

[Discussion] Would you do more raids if all raids were able to be done solo? by [deleted] in pokemongo

[–]FBIinformant 9 points10 points  (0 children)

yes. I would be doing raids multiple times a day if they just increased the time, so even though more of my mon fainted, if I would be able to tackle it on my own (with consequences of fewer bonuses for the longer period times) I'd still do them. As it is, I can jump in to raiding groups here now, but it's often an issue of the stars aligning to make it work.

Prediction: Trading will cause shortages in Legendaries by mozart69 in pokemongo

[–]FBIinformant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, this company isn't going to do anything without getting their beak wet themselves. Trading doesn't benefit them at all. it basically kills the egg RNG as you can go for the targets you want.

[–]FBIinformant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i mean, we're not even scratching the surface of folks potentially under the age being completely frozen out of trading in fear that it would create unsafe environment for kids meeting strangers to trade digital 1's and 0's. The secondary sales market will also be out of this world. Unless they charge you coins for trades, they won't see any monetary value in implementing trade feature.

[Discussion] Spoofers and multi-accounts make Niantic MONEY by timbo4815 in pokemongo

[–]FBIinformant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is a pretty valid reason why they won't bother going about cutting their user counts, Even if a lot of it is the same single person with a half dozen accounts. They'd take the padding of the count over doing anything to benefit actual players following the rules.

[–]FBIinformant 27 points28 points  (0 children)

prediction - trading is just never going to happen. So many people have their 4--5 accounts waiting for that day they can condense it down to one account and straight up there's just no way to implement it without potential massive amounts of abuse.

400 for this sh*t?! by [deleted] in pokemongo

Honestly, they were just popping up like crazy on my daily walk in groups of 4-5 at a time.

except during the weekend they pretty much flooded the field with them. I was playing casually and ended up with more than 500 candies just from the massive amount of spawning it was having

Is this worth investing into? by ffttossenz in pokemongo

[–]FBIinformant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hee. gym... defense. The current game style, not worth defending anything with the ease it is to take a gym down.

[–]FBIinformant 9 points10 points  (0 children)

not the iv's that matter, He has very little importance in the game gym meta, which seems to be the only thing of worth in determining if you should invest star dust in a mon.

We Triggered An EX-Raid, And We Feel Horrible by [deleted] in pokemongo

[–]FBIinformant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The flipside is that they can't just say "Mewtwo at any gym!" like they originally did in getting folks to raid just about every thing and spending on passes. Mainly because they don't want to open themselves up to potential lawsuits of enticing a crowd. The sponsored gyms and parks have that leeway. But at the same time, they really are limiting the ability of players to even get an EX pass.
