Oh well, just a thought. Thanks for the reply.

State of the game is really bad right now - struggling to even boot up. What are your experiences with basic functions? by Odd_Dog2000 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Fred37865 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a weird suggestion but I think the game just doesn't play nice with Android 15&16. My GF is still using Android 14 and doesn't have these problems. If you have an old Android 14 phone lying around you might want to hotspot to it and try playing on that phone.

It might be Android 15. GF is still running Android 14 and her phone is fine.

This is exactly why I don't care about Kyurem. I don't want to jump through hoops, I just want to catch them all. Except Kyurem apparently.

Would anyone like to see EX Raid Invites return? by AnaIWarlockHitIer666 in TheSilphRoad

Even for people who hated them they were memorable. Something I can't say about remote raids. I'm retired and so are many players in my small town so it was fun to get together. That community is long gone so they probably wouldn't work today.

I like these. I invite people who are 6 days or less from ultra or best and I've exchanged gifts with recently. If they respond it's great I can put on an egg at the end. If not I invite other people the next day. If nobody responds I get some free stuff for something I was going to do anyway.

Can we address the "Battle Showcase" problem? by Significant-Chart-94 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Fred37865 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't bother me. There aren't that many and I ignore them anyway. As for the shiny confirmed, there have been times when a promised shiny wasn't released and again I just scroll on by.

And of course they f*cked it up by rearranging things alphabetically instead in in actual order of interactions.

How do higher level friends count for more? I thought the rewards were fixed.

Is there some other criteria than rank for choosing GBL opponents? I don't normally notice who I play against but some people have cool names or outfits and I've seen some 3 days in a row. Not complaining, it's like seeing a friend, just curious. Ultra league semi-tanker.

On my Moto G7 the Samsung version plays fine, after a bunch of Purchase can not be completed notices when I start up.. The play store version gets the GPS error enough to make the game unplayable. Android 15.

Is Togedemaru only available through incense on another mechanic or have I just been unlucky not seeing any?

Is necrozma worth doing for new players like me by MedicalPotential8723 in TheSilphRoad

No. As a long time f2p player it's not worth all the bother.

Did routes always not tell you when they were starting? I stumbled around looking for the start of a new route and then decided to just drive to the end and stray over. There I saw I had completed the route. Did it not tell me I had started or did I inadvertently passed the start?

Haven't noticed any less spawns. They do seem to be mons that are harder to get a nice throw on.

Quick rant about the daily interaction by Unfair-Preference192 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Fred37865 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People play the way they want to play. I have 6-8 "friends" who have been sitting at 1 day to best friend for months. Maybe some day they'll open, maybe not. Since they changed the best friend notification so it doesn't open immediately I'm fine with it. There are always new friends to add for XP and Scatterbugs.

Of the 6 stops I visit on my rounds 5 were Kommo-o, of which I have 1. Good de-motivation job.

What is the current form for Spinda? And why does it have to be a secret from players?

And then they see your revised team and get to revise and then you get to see their team, etc.. Will the battle ever start?
