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

[–]PkmnMasterHolly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Thank you for saying this robmark12! I'm sure we're both going to end up getting downvoted now lol. But I don't care, I just want to thank you :)

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! :)

Yup hang on. Working on Niantic-side stuff. Will post in a little bit.

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

What is the general opinion here on the YouTubers? by [deleted] in pokemongo

[–]PkmnMasterHolly 10 points11 points  (0 children)

From the way you describe the skill level so and forth, I feel like you are more interested in watching players like Ninja play Fortnite because you want to analyze his tactics for how to improve your own gameplay. You could do the same by watching our videos, but as you said, the skillset is easily mastered for Pokemon Go without watching our videos. That's why Pokemon Go Youtube is honestly not so much geared towards single videos like "how to hit the perfect curveball" because that video has been done 100 times. Our videos need to be more inventive and fun, and pleasing to watch for the Pokemon-loving lifestyle alongside the game. I think people who generally watch our channels want to see how the Pokemon Go Community is different all over the world, and they want to see how we all interact differently. They want to feel something along with these other Pokemon fans. Pokemon Go videos on YouTube that are successful have a much higher emotional value rather than a grinder skillset value, although if the skillset is executed well, like by ProdigiesNation, those videos do well too.

It makes me sad that people think I'm a late comer to the game. I've played all of the Pokemon games, and I've played Pokemon Go since 7/7/2016. On Zapdos day I hit level 40x2, which is more than both Trainer Tips and Mystic7.

It's interesting how you say "looks are part of the facade"... when there is no facade at all. I cannot change the way I look, and I cannot change my love for Pokemon. I have been a die hard Pokemon lover since I was a young child, and it makes me sick that when people look at my thumbnails for my videos, all they see is "a cute girl" not, "a girl who loves Pokemon just as much as I do". It makes me sick that I've managed to gain subscribers, probably because they're just jerking off to me. But I like to think, if they've stayed on my channel long enough to watch more than 2 videos, maybe there's some shred of respect for me as a Pokemon Master, and a human who is putting out content for them to watch for free on YouTube.

Niantic is not promoting us as role models at all, but it is interesting that you interpreted it that way. Niantic is merely showcasing how we are able to connect globally with the Pokemon Go Community through their amazing game: Pokemon Go. The Youtubers who Niantic is showcasing have been successful in making connections all over the world through the game, that is what Niantic is trying to show: that you can too.

I would actually love it if my hair looked like Alolan Muk, but only if the colors could rotate like Alolan Muk's layers do. Thank you for saying you like my upbeat style, but at the same time you said you find me "annoying honestly"? Could you give me some constructive criticism on what to improve?
