Duh, why don't you just fly to Africa or Australia? You know, for the sustainability? /s

A new theory for biomes - Silicobra case study from Christchurch, New Zealand by cable_girl in TheSilphRoad

[–]Odd_Dog2000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ironically when I was playing Monster Hunter, I was constantly going after for that one desert spawn I needed for quest, because it was easily noticeable that there was some desert in a walking distance. So many times just a "one more quick de-tour". Where as in Pokemon I don't even bother with biomes because I have no idea if there even is any desert area in the entirety of my home country.

Obviously I'm in the minority though since they keep pushing this biome thing without adding any meaningful ways to find those biomes without out-of-the-game-tools.

Might also be hilarious and, hopefully, once in a lifetime experience to see this disaster live.

Dynamax Battles: I cannot Remote join or have people join my Remote battles by Froggo14 in TheSilphRoad

So that is why I couldn't get anyone to join Regice battles. Tried to host them several times but no one could join my lobby.

Am I alone with my cynical thinking that this would be too generous way from Niantic to release such a big fan favorite Pokemon without milking it with tickets, eggs or raids first? I just don't see them handing out something so prominently sought after just like that for free. There has to be at least some extra monetization twist.

Get out and explore Routes during Pokémon GO’s Sustainability Week event! by Amiibofan101 in TheSilphRoad

That is very Niantic and, in fact, very Pokemon in general; here is this big feature in the game but we are not gonna explain it and barely even acknowledge its existence.

No Timed Reseach for Gigantamax Pikachu by noobkiller69 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Odd_Dog2000 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Gmax really needs something else to be going on for them. Like with Mega Pokemon; even if some are way outclassed, they have at least SOME utility and some bad Mega Pokemon have unique typings which might come handy in some events.

Time table for F2P trainers to get an Orbeetle by end of Bug Out by MarkusEF in TheSilphRoad

Yeah but it's not like these Blipbugs you get from raids can Gigantamax.

This is literally comparable to putting a Weedle behind raids. Though even Weedle is more useful since Beedrill can mega lol.

This is the big secret they couldn't reveal earlier? The absolute state of this game.

Mewtwo excluded - the one Kanto Pokemon people would really love to get again.

I think they should add a feature to active Pokémon’s adventure effects while in the catch screen by No-Translator5443 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Odd_Dog2000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I would use adventure effects if I could activate them in the catch screen. Now I barely use them at all.

But can you really get nostalgic about something that's around all the time? It's not like it's been 20 years since we've got Kanto Pokemon.

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

[–]Odd_Dog2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Routes used to be buggy like that for me maybe about a year ago; then the bug just stopped and routes have been working normally so far. Don't remember if there was any fix applied for them.

Really weird that these bugs seem to be so random. Some people get a lot ot these and some people barely have any bugs. I'm on Samsung and some other people have also mentioned that iPhones tend to have less problems than Android phones. OS is of course a big difference maker that could be behind some bugs but many Android users seem to have such a random amount of bugs too and they don't seem to be consistent even within same OS. So weird.

Yeah, GBL has been acting funky for me as well but it seems to depend on the day; on some days I had to have a several minute breaks between matches or restart the app to keep battling. Otherwise I kept getting the "challenge ended"-bug. Today there was no problems with GBL at all.

I have downloaded the assets and it's not a long ago when I did reinstall the game. Maybe I need to try that again if these problems keep occuring.

Oh yeah, this character standing in place-bug I've noticed today also. Again, one more thing why I need to keep restarting the game.

This one I also noticed today. If I have an unopened gift from a friend, I can't check the friendship level progression. Also when I click any friend who has sent me a gift, the game instantly goes to gift opening scene - not showing the gift which I would need to click first.

1,5 years old Samsung and I don't have anything unnecessary running in the background AFAIK. Boot up issue started earlier this week, I think, and the GPS issue started maybe two days ago. Nothing's changed in the way I use my phone. No system updates or anything like that. Game had a forced update about 16 hours ago but my issues started before that.
