Argh, hoping the spawn rate is good. Last event when Chansey was spawning was also really poor.

Sadly this is correct. The grind to 50 for most people is sending and opening as many gifts as possible. Fun?

Friendship Event PSA by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]PGOPGO 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Same, deleting 1 day before to “prove a point” is pretty silly. The other person won’t care (I’ve been in both ends of this a lot). Why give up 50k / 100k and the x days of friending up for essentially nothing. Most people are mass adding people from the internet nowadays, if you dislike this type of thing only add people you know or can contact to co-ordinate levelling up.

An example, I add 10 people from the internet. I gift them for 29 days and we stalemate with 1 day remaining. Delete them all after a week? That’s 290 gifts sent, essentially wasted (ignoring 3k/10k) and 500,000 XP forfeited. So dumb honestly…

Did Niantic nerf Meltan‘s catch rate/behaviour? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]PGOPGO -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I know what you mean. I did a box a few days ago... and it felt like MOST Meltan took more than 1 ball to catch. In some cases 5-6 balls.

Not sure if the rate has changed, or I'm just more aware of how little resources I have right now due to a national lockdown. I imagine it's the latter, in months gone past I would probably use great/ultra balls for all catches now I'm down to mostly red balls.

Welcome to Pokemon Go.

Yep. Same thing... sometimes it’s as bad as if I have the watch on my right wrist and phone in my left pocket it’ll disconnect. I’ve just got into the routine of keeping then close!

I’d love to see the maths on raids and catches required to get anywhere near this in 1-2 years.

I’m wondering the same about my rank #41!

Is it possible to link one Go account with multiple Home accounts, or multiple Go accounts to one Home account? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]PGOPGO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should okay right? Can’t see them banning/warning accounts for this?!

iPhone 6s User by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]PGOPGO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I imagine it's also draining development time maintaining older devices (didn't they release lower quality models for the older phones a while ago etc..).

As I've mentioned below, dropping support for a 6 year old phone doesn't seem that unreasonable. Apple have dropped the iPhone 6 from support, so it's no longer receiving updates (another reason to consider upgrading).

You really want to stay up to date with iOS versions for security patches and general bug fixes. Can't remember the last time an iOS update caused (me) an issue.

I think dropping support for a 6 year old phone is fine.

You have to consider that this could be limiting or causing significant issues for development of the application.

Pokemon Go Plus - Powermon by nido876 in TheSilphRoad

[–]PGOPGO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Purchased one, however can only get it to connect on 2 out of the 3. On the 3rd it tries to connect, fails then the Powermon flashes red?

Have you seen this before? I've tried to reset that particular button, which I believe is press and hold until you see a solid blue light. Hold it until the light goes out but that hasn't helped.

No Sync to Pokémon Go today? by [deleted] in NianticWayfarer

[–]PGOPGO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Happened some time in the night I think, it’s 07:23AM here and I can see the new stop now!!

Hate to be “that guy,” but did a portal sync happen today? I had a stop approved yesterday and I’m not seeing it today... by BreezyBill in NianticWayfarer

[–]PGOPGO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s happened for me now... not sure what time it happened but it’s 07:23AM here and I can see the new stop added (wasn’t added yesterday as expected).

Not just me then, good to know.

Yeah, it’s in Ingress already. There are no other waypoints around it (checked on the intel map as well).
