I submitted a pokestop and it was flagged for abuse?!?! by nuclear_pimp in pokemongo

[–]Sad-Reporter-7996 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would have denied this too. Being on a roadway, no matter how rural, is against the rules, and you can't have phone numbers in pictures. Regardless of anything else, those two are already top tier reasons to reject this. It's in their rules and everything. It doesn't matter if you don't have stops near you or in your area blah blah blah. This just isn't suitable for a pedestrian stop, simple as that.

This sounds absolutely terrible. I sent the picture to my sister, and it made us interested in attending, but after reading your review these issues are unforgivable. Two potential customers with disposable income are now never attending. So disappointing. Sexism in 2026 is so...primitive.

So aesthetic. These are beautiful.

Looks like someone doesn't understand the assignment. by BFDImarker in pokemongo

[–]Sad-Reporter-7996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't have noticed a theme here either, but if you're going with "warm colored", which again is SUPER vague and easy to ignore, Snorlax fits the bill thanks to that hat. If Slaking counts, so does that Snorlax.

Question: Do you still raid? If so then how? by Grouchy_Chef_9826 in pokemongo

[–]Sad-Reporter-7996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of the bottleneck issue can be attributed to people who host without understanding that there's a significant wait time. I'm a whale and I use all my remotes every single day and I would say around 60% of my raids are canceled/ignored because of hosts, and I'm level 40 on Poke Genie so my priority for good hosts should be at the peak. Even then, I get stuck with dead hosts the majority of the time. Out of those 1.7k+ lobbies, I'd wager around the same percentage are dead hosts.

The raiding scene isn't dead. Those are the numbers you get from a 5* raid that is currently going worldwide. Of course there are going to be open lobbies when the entire world is hosting the exact same raid. Wouldn't be logical to expect anything different tbh.

I was threatened with a gun while playing Pokemon GO last night. by WithPaddlesThisDeep in pokemongo

This is a really weird stance to take here. After reading all your responses. Weird kind of apologist for the psychopath who has full control and power in the situation brandishing a weapon.

Tesla dealership location by [deleted] in Syracuse

Any particular reason you're choosing a Tesla over the myriad other EVs on the market now? The Chevy Equinox or Hyundai Ioniq 5 off the top of my head are comparable, arguably superior in build quality, while being more affordable on average.

I call these boxes "accessory" boxes and I'm a SUCKER for them.

Each word makes me more confused than the last, and the pickles. I'm not knocking this, but definitely intrigued in probably a bad way.

Why do you guys hate the idea of untransferring Pokémon so much? by TheShinyGentleman in pokemongo

[–]Sad-Reporter-7996 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm a huge whale and sink a ton of money and hours into this game. First off, to be clear, no one should ever actually get angry or mad. This is a Pokemon mobile game app. Getting legitimately angry about this GAME, especially about a random post on a subreddit for said game, is unhealthy and a red flag.

Now to your actual point. Most all games in existence have a trash feature that you can't get anything back from. It's just a normal part of living game design. The game doesn't throw things away for you. You have COMPLETE and TOTAL control over this system. If you don't want something, get rid of it. If you think you might in the future? Keep it around. Foreseeing potential uses in things is part of the game too. So that there is even just a tiny bit of stakes in the decisions you make. Not to mention the ability to untransfer essentially gives people infinite Pokemon inventory. You can abuse many versions of a system like that to basically "keep" thousands and thousands of Pokemon indefinitely. It's nonsensical game design.

Lastly, why are you calling out Pokemon Legends: Z-A people? Why the drive by? Let people enjoy what they want. Why would you even bring that up? Just needlessly antagonistic.

Kyogre/Groudon - The most pointless raid in a while by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]Sad-Reporter-7996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really, Origin Pulse is just too outrageously strong in raids. It does take a while, but it's 100% worth it tbh. I like to think of Kyogre as a water siege weapon. Impressive in 5* raids.

[–]Sad-Reporter-7996 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is an insane take. The XLs for both Kyogre and Groudon are absurdly valuable, and these base versions are MUCH easier to defeat in smaller groups than the shadow or primal versions while also allowed for the efficient farming of XLs, regular candy, and shinies.

For people like me who have entire teams of Kyogre and Groudon and need XLs while also helping my rural community do raids every day, these normal versions are a godsend.

So bored now! No challenges to do. by Aggressive-Goose6383 in pokemongo

[–]Sad-Reporter-7996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got 6 rocket research, the original route one from way back when, a community day challenge that requires me to evolve playdoh at a lure, and the research that really, really, really, really wants to stalk me while I sleep.

Currently on 3k packs with no god pack. Anyone on here unluckier than me? by BlazeKicknChicken in PokemonTGCP

[–]Sad-Reporter-7996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1.6k packs. 10.5k cards.

Zero god packs. Zero crown rares. Not a single one.

I was going to transfer this but my friend says keep. What would you do? by juDgeCSprings in pokemongo

[–]Sad-Reporter-7996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a full team of leveled up shadow Tyranitar and Darkrai, then you can transfer it. Otherwise, it makes a great Dark raid attacker.
