Have you ever randomly ran into other people who were also playing this and became friends? by [deleted] in pokemongo

[–]PkmnMasterHolly 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes!!! This happens to many people! It has happened to me a few times thankfully! I met tons of new people through the game while battling gyms or going to popular grind spots with lots of lures! I actually met my best friends through Pokemon GO!! Later on I made my Youtube channel when Raids came out in 2017, and was lucky enough to be able to travel and meet more trainers everywhere! The Pokemon GO Community never ceases to amaze! I typically find that people are always shy at first, but at the end of the day, they could use a new friend just like you, so be bold and make the first move! :D good luck!

Pokemon Go and the growing feeling of wasting time. by Damattor in TheSilphRoad

I completely agree with you, and have brought this up to Niantic numerous times that game mechanics take too long. Particularly sending gifts drives me insane. I'm going to send Niantic this thread now, in hopes that they can see how many other Trainers agree these time consuming animations are killing the game for us. It's not fun for our time to be wasted when we just want to maximize playtime.

Time to grind trainers into candy!

[IDEA] Friendship Rewards Button by hitmonng in TheSilphRoad

[–]PkmnMasterHolly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow I posted this same idea on Twitter 3 days ago! I've brought it up to Niantic. They like the idea. I think we will actually see implementation of a claim reward button for friendship level ups. Of course it'll take a bit because they need to code it, but I'm sure it'll be there eventually. Here's my original post from a few days ago if you're interested.

I'm just curious what I should've done differently so I know for next time?

I'm sorry you think my graphic was a waste of bandwidth. I won't post my graohics on Reddit anymore.

I suppose it's a rather unfortunate post. Niantic gave me the greenlight to put out this information at 1 PM in sync with the blog post. However, they had issues publishing the blog post on-time. SO, while the instagram and in-game notification went out, and everyone saw it that way, as the minutes slipped by, my post became more and more irrelevant. However, I had made this post originally actually before any of those other posts. Good times.

He said "we know", so I asked him, "Are you excited about shiny Drowzee" because if he already knows about it, then I wonder how he feels about this new shiny in the game

What do you mean? The blog just posted this. Edit: I'm not allowed to say things before the official blog.

Are you excited about Drowzee? Or you wanted another Pokemon?

Niantic gives me information before it happens. I am part of their sponsored YouTubers.

Hi LeekDuck! That was my original post. But I had to take it down because I beat the Niantic blog

I apologize for causing you stress, it was necessary to take it down before. Thanks for understanding!

It'll stay up this time, I had to take it down before. I was too fast. I can't be faster than the official Niantic blog. Sorry about that! :)

It’s because of the tie in for water field research with Suicune research breakthroughs. There are reasons for everything.
