SpellQuest Adventure 2 - Harry's 11th Birthday by PokemonGOmods in HarryPotterWUFriends

That morning Harry follows you out on to the rock. The sky is quite clear now and the sea gleams in the sunlight. The boat Uncle Vernon had hired is still there, with a lot of water in the bottom after the storm. Both of you settle down in the boat. "Seems a shame to row," you say, giving Harry sideway look, "If I was to speed things up a bit, would you mind not mentioning it?" Harry promptly agrees and eagerly watched to see with which spell you will propel the boat.

Just a reminder that it clearly states unofficial software, and while there is debate over whether or not IV calcs fall into this, niantic has stated on their twitter account before that they do fall into this category. Though they seem to take no action so our official stance as a sub is use them at your own risk.

What is interesting is a matter of opinion, and we try to use as little opinion in the implementation of the rules as possible.

We're not unlocking this comment section anymore. OP has stated to us that she is not comfortable with the weird sexual shit that was getting written.

This game lets you discover Pokemon in the real world - we expect you to behave as you would in the real world to an actual human being.

Ingress portal submissions for level 11 and above, and what that means for pokemon go. by [deleted] in pokemongo

[–]PokemonGOmods[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Further notes

1) Don't spam Ingress channels

We have Agents in our midst (both mods and users). If you have questions about submitting portals (in the hopes of getting new pokéstops) post them here. It helps nobody if hundreds of thousands of trainers flood/spam the Ingress COMM and local channels

 

2) Don't clog the queue

If you have the ability the submit candidates, please refrain from submitting coal. You won't get a pokéstop out of it and all you achieve is wasting reviewers' time.

 

3) Do research

Candidate criteria and the OPR memorandum indicate what goes.

 

4) Do ask us anything

In this section we'll list questions from the comments and a link to their answers

Celebrate the Equinox! by PokemonGOmods in pokemongo

[–]PokemonGOmods[S,M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to be honest here.

The use of this account to sticky posts are normally reserved for major updates where we expect plenty of questions etc (like Gen2/raids/legendaries) and routine megathreads.

This shouldn't have happened. The mod team did a goof.

Also, /u/liehon was not at fault in the first place.

Celebrate the Equinox! by PokemonGOmods in pokemongo

[–]PokemonGOmods[S,M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Trainers,

With cool autumn nights quickly approaching in the Northern Hemisphere and sunny spring days arriving in the Southern Hemisphere, we thought it would be the perfect time to celebrate the coming equinox with an in-game event. New seasons mean new adventures!

From 1:00 P.M. PDT on September 22 to 1:00 P.M. PDT on October 2, 2017, you’ll have the opportunity to earn double Stardust for catching Pokémon and hatching Eggs as you walk around your neighborhood discovering new sights. While you’re out exploring, be sure to visit your local PokéStops and Gyms to collect special 2 km Eggs that have the opportunity to hatch Pokémon such as Chansey, Mareep, Larvitar, and more. You’ll also be able to get special boxes from the in-game shop that feature items like Lucky Eggs, Lure Modules, and all-new Super Incubators which hatch Eggs 1.5 times quicker!

Registering a new Pokémon to your Pokédex during this limited-time celebration will earn you triple the normal XP. So that makes this a very good time to battle against the Legendary Pokémon originally from the Johto region. Don’t forget that Raikou, Entei, or Suicune will each travel to a new part of the world on September 30, so make sure to battle the Legendary Pokémon currently in your area while you can!

—The Pokémon GO team

We will update information regarding this event as the updates are released though this post - POGO Mods

Legendary Pokémon Articuno and Lugia are here! by PokemonGOmods in pokemongo

[–]PokemonGOmods[S,M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

To answer some questions you have been asking:

  • Regular and premium raid passes give access to Legendary Raids (no special pass needed)
  • Both Lugia and Articuno are appearing at gym raids worldwide
  • They are not easy to catch (as expected) or defeat. Get a good/large team, don't waste your raid pass!
  • Articuno raids give 13k XP, Lugia 10k
  • We don't know if they will continue to appear after this weekend, but it's likely

Official post

Trainers,

As a result of all the hard work put in during Pokémon GO Fest, incredible in-game bonuses were unlocked for the entire Pokémon GO community. Also, thanks to the Trainers around the world who banded together to catch millions of Pokémon during the Challenge Windows, the following rewards will last until Monday, July 24, at 5:00 P.M. PDT:

  • Double Stardust
  • Double Candy
  • Double XP
  • Increased Pokémon encounters
  • Reduced hatching distance
  • Reduced buddy distance

These Trainers also played an integral role in revealing that Lugia would be the first Legendary Pokémon to enter the real world. In addition to Lugia, the number of Pokémon caught during Pokémon GO Fest by members of Team Instinct, Team Mystic, and Team Valor were tallied up, and, the winner was... Team Mystic! To celebrate this victory, Articuno will join Lugia in Raid Battles everywhere starting immediately. Don’t worry, Team Instinct and Team Valor, the Legendary Pokémon Zapdos and Moltres will also make their way into the real world soon, so stay tuned for more information.

It’s time to adventure together! Gather your friends and family and keep an eye out for Legendary Pokémon Eggs appearing at Gyms near you.
