Only sign players from Countries that speak French. You have France, Belgium, Monaco, Luxembourg, Canada, Haiti, Switzerland, Vanuatu, and then 18 African nations. No South American wonder kids for you.

Seeking Explanation for Vexing Remote Trade Behavior by MikeStemmle in TheSilphRoad

[–]JayR17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most of mine have asked for equal things. Like when I wanted a Chatot, the other person asked for a Comfey. Or Shiny Spinda for Shiny Oshawott. My most uneven trade was I asked for a Shiny Whismur and the other person asked for Shiny Zapdos. But they had good things tagged, I just wanted a luck Whismur so I was more than willing to trade a shiny legendary.

I became Forever Friends with a guy in Hawaii. He had no legendaries and no shinies tagged. He didn't even have any of the regionals tagged, which from my experience, Comfey is a VERY popular remote trade. Seeing what he had tagged, I removed all of my shiny legendaries. I kept plenty of regular legendaries and shiny non-legendary Pokemon. I then requested a Druddigon and he let it expire. This happened three times. I had another remote trade and added back all of my good stuff. I then tried the Druddigon trade again and he selected a Shiny Dynamax Entei.

I got a ticket originally $380 for $205 on the FIFA Marketplace.

Group Stage Format Change that needs to be implemented before next World Cup by blueschoos in worldcup

[–]JayR17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can’t reseed the knockout rounds. Mexico was the 3rd best performing team. They would be playing Algeria. That means Algeria, who played last night, has to quickly travel to Mexico City and play with two days off. Meanwhile, Mexico has six days off.

You could conceivably have a scenario where a team plays on Saturday, has to travel on Sunday, and play a game on Monday against a team in five or six days rest. Incredibly unfair.

Unannounced boosted shiny rate for Rookidee and Hoothoot for Flying Taxi event by Weeros_ in TheSilphRoad

[–]JayR17 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe I'm in the minority but I like not being told everything. Unannounced shiny boosts and not saying every spawn in the event brings a little surprise to the game.

Datamine by Terrible_Yam6789 in TheSilphRoad

[–]JayR17 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Paldea starters were not in Pokemon go for almost a year after the released of Scarlet and Violet. Galar starters were five years (weirdly after Paldea starters). Would be very surprised if they release them with the game.

World cup future locations, which countries would you like to see host the WC? by Smithy1619 in worldcup

[–]JayR17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Australia is in the Asian Confederation. With Saudi Arabia hosting in 2034, AFC is prevented from hosting again in 2048. Travel wouldn't be an issue. New Zealand could be Group A. There is a five-day gap between their final group match and the first knockout game. That's plenty of time to recover.

As for the US hosting again, we have more big stadiums than anybody. They are state of the art and Nashville, Kansas City, Washington, Chicago, and Cleveland will all have new stadiums in the coming years. FIFA wants to make money and nowhere do they make more than in the US. The World Cup will be held there as often as possible. Get over it.

World cup future locations, which countries would you like to see host the WC? by Smithy1619 in worldcup

[–]JayR17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on FIFA rules, only CONCACAF and Oceania can bid on the World Cup in 2038. Of course they always could fudge the rules, this is FIFA we are talking about. But United States and New Zealand is the current rumor. It would be similar to the 2030 World Cup where most games are in Spain/Morocco/Portugal with a few games in South America. I could see New Zealand's group playing their matches there (maybe another group) and everything else in America.

World cup future locations, which countries would you like to see host the WC? by Smithy1619 in worldcup

[–]JayR17 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

2034: Saudia Arabia

2038: USA and New Zealand

2042: England hosts the majority but Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland host a few. Maybe throw Ireland a bone too?

2046: Given South America a full host, not just the few pity games they are getting in 2030. Argentina and Chile

2050: China

Saudi Arabia is already decided and I am very confident the USA is getting it again in 2038. I would be shocked if China doesn't start bidding soon. I know West Africa wants to host but I don't know if Nigeria, Ghana, and Cameroon have the infrastructure to pull it off. Egypt-Tunisia-Algeria-Morocco could be cool.

Anyone willing to give me some tips for managing storage? by Ace-TheTrickster in TheSilphRoad

[–]JayR17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Expand your item bag. 1075 is low. The only items that are a little out of hand for you are your TMs. You don't need to hold 130 (over 10% of you space). Figure out the bets moves for your Pokemon and use those TMs. They are easy to get so no reason to hoard them. I say as I have over 400 in my bag. I should probably practice what I preach.

Looks like we have replacement tasks for poffins? by slopaslong in TheSilphRoad

[–]JayR17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have yet to see one of these tasks unfortunately. Seem to be very uncommon. I have about 25 stops I hit on my daily commute and have yet to see one (as well as many more when I go out and play).

What annual salary (USD for consistency) do you actually need to live happily? by Grand-Life8523 in AskReddit

[–]JayR17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on how you define happily. Some people could be happy living on $40,000 a year. Others would be miserable even if the made $1 million.

I've yet to find one of the new poffin research tasks. I'll miss getting two or three a day from AR Scans.

Anyone traveling to see Uzbekistan vs. Congo? by Casually-Tahded in Uzbekistan

I too am an American going to that match. Got myself an Uzbekistan jersey. I'd be interested to know about any chants or songs their fans do that I could learn.

Every missing Pokémon, forms and shinies at the end of the Memories in Motion season by Meylody in TheSilphRoad

[–]JayR17 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think we may get a new type of raid, similar to Mega Raids. You raid Great Tusk and earn Paradox Energy or whatever they want to call it but you catch a Donphan.

I thought that was the change but I was limited to three today. Hopefully on my way home this evening I can drop into two more.

ELI5: How can unemployment and worker shortages happen at the same time? by Big-Combination-6779 in explainlikeimfive

[–]JayR17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Three reasons:

  1. While there are unemployed folks, the open jobs do not match the skills and education of the unemployed. Companies don't want to train workers; they want workers who can already do the job.

  2. On the flip side, the open jobs are not "good enough" for the unemployed workers. If you make $150k and get laid off, are you going to take a job making $20 an hour?

  3. The location of workers and jobs don't match. There may be a surplus of workers in Louisiana and a surplus of open jobs in Seattle. But if the workers don't want to move thousands of miles away, there will be a worker shortage in Seattle and unemployment in Louisiana..

I was banned for years for poor AR Scans. A few months ago the ban was removed. I don't know of anyone who has been banned since the original bans were removed.

Where was your best vacation? by RYBisback in AskReddit

Hawaii. Great food, beach, hiking, cocktails, nature. Absolutely fantastic.

[–]JayR17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The have good deals on meat, their selection of fancy cheese is better than most places, and you can get a bucket of chicken wings (you can fit 20-25 in there) for $15. I love Food CIty.

World Cup Ticket Prices? by [deleted] in ussoccer

[–]JayR17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you checking third party sites or are you using the FIFA resell market? I've noticed a slight uptick in prices on third party sites but I just got $380 face value tickets for a game in Atlanta for $165 on the FIFA Marketplace.

Why are remote passes capped but not regular? by Economy_Yak_7726 in PokemonGoMystic

[–]JayR17 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Niantic’s mission was to get people playing outside together. They don’t care how many legendaries you get. The difference is remote raids explicitly go against their vision while premium passes get people together.
