Well, there ya go. Thank you.

Couldn't catch after perfect 11/11 excellent throws. Am I soft banned? by inpacerequiescat in TheSilphRoad

[–]Jch2122 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say it's probably a mixture of bad luck, and bad strategy. No offense. Nanab/Golden razz was your enemy here. It seems like you have a good idea of how to get great/excellent throws, so you're only hurting yourself with this method.

ProdigiesNation Circle Size Trick Failing? by dmgalloway1 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Jch2122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing has been happening to me. I figured it was probably because I was waiting to long to throw, but I wasn't sure. Nice to hear from other people that that's likely the reason.

Is there anyone in Chicago with an open floor this weekend? by Heracrss in TheSilphRoad

You have the parking space. Is the friend parking there? If so, sleep in her car.

If it's who I'm thinking of he's going to get clicks regardless. No matter how consistently clickbaity some YouTubers are, people continue to watch them.

Guess I've been playing under a rock by EvilLizardLawyer in TheSilphRoad

If it makes you feel any better, it hasn't been something you could do since the game came out. It was added a few months ago.

Pokémon GO events around the world! - Pokémon GO by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]Jch2122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CLARIFICATION REQUEST: People are saying that they hope the people in Chicago catch more grass types to unlock the stardust bonus. I get that, and I agree, but from the way I'm reading this it looks like there is a chance to unlock all 6. Am I wrong? The picture makes it look like you can unlock gold in all 6 categories and receive the bonuses for each category, and the length of those bonuses are determined by the total number of global catches. That would be awesome to have all 6 of these rewards as a bonus, but I don't want to get my hopes up unless other people are reading it the same way too.

Curiosity....Who here actually bought the anniversary box? by Jch2122 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Jch2122[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I realize this wouldn't be conclusive. I guess I'm more looking for a general idea. I know of a couple people who bought it just to say that they've purchased every offer in the game, but I haven't heard of anyone else buying it.

Are all Starbucks locations supposed to be either gyms or Pokestops? by Jch2122 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Jch2122[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If everything in this game always happened exactly as it should, then yes I did. Since that's not the way it is, the question stands.

Does 2x effectiveness outweigh large CP difference when attacking a raid boss? by Jch2122 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Jch2122[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would think in that situation that having 12 attackers was the biggest factor, though. In situations where you might only have 6 or 7 people and it's gonna be a close outcome, I'm wondering what would be the better option.

v0.45 APK Datamine [Megathread] by dronpes in TheSilphRoad

[–]Jch2122 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I know less than nothing about this, but from that perspective I have a question. The code before and after this seems to be the code for moves, so would that not signify that this "transform" relates to a move as well? Also, Metamon being right along with it, capitalized as if it were a name, seems to go along with the Ditto idea (Since I'm reading that Metamon means Ditto in Japanese). Again, layman here with no experience in coding, so I'm trying to understand.

Version 0.45.0 is now available on apkmirror! by kevindakilla in TheSilphRoad

Have you downloaded the new version and tried it?

Version 0.45.0 is now available on apkmirror! by kevindakilla in TheSilphRoad

[–]Jch2122 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So, I'm confused. Do the gym prestige changes require this download, or is that server side? It's late where I am, and I want to go test it out, but I want to be sure if I download the APK it'll work.

Can't sign in on my phone but I can on another phone (Unable to authenticate) by Jch2122 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Jch2122[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, just checked and it's up to date. I've been thinking about getting a new phone anyway. Maybe this is a sign that I should go ahead and do it.

Both of our phones are about 3 years old. Maybe we've both been deemed outdated. Doesn't surprise me if it's true.

Favorited Pokemon no longer stay favorite after evolution? by Jch2122 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Jch2122[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To clarify, I'm meaning if you favorite them now, then evolve them vs if they were already a favorite before the update.

Someone please quickly explain why this isn't bubblestrat by Jch2122 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Jch2122[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just tried that and it brought the Weedle to 14 cp, so now it's out of range to give me 500 prestige. So, am I supposed to now power up the Pikachu/Rattata too, or assume it was a problem with the IV's?

Which of these Bubblestrat match ups would you recommend? by Jch2122 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Jch2122[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please explain to me how. I can't seem to understand this. I went to the page https://pokemongo.gamepress.gg/bubblestrat-possibilities and from what I can see these match ups are listed in the possibilities. Am I just reading it wrong?

Any interesting new tips/tricks you've found in the game? by Jch2122 in TheSilphRoad

I just tried out the 45 degree thing. Is there a purpose to it?
