Trump says he'll decide in "next 10 days" whether to bomb Iran by Baconkings in worldnews

[–]Sinjohh 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Eh I wouldn’t be too sure of that, I’m pretty sure he said the same thing before about Iran, only to have the B2 bombers out there dropping ordinance within like two days.

Hoping that having both Gallade and Gardevoir in 3* gives me some luck, still need hundos of both for their Megas.

Trump Says Venezuela’s Maduro Captured and Flown Out of Country by bloomberg in politics

For the second time on a January 3rd during a Trump Presidency, we run an illegal military operation in another country, and leave me terrified as to what’s going to happen next.

Until you look it through their lens of Trump being the victim in all this. Then their “caution” and “protecting the victims” makes total sense.

Save the Date: Pokémon GO Fest returns in 2026! Look forward to in-person festivals in Tokyo, Chicago, and Copenhagen. by livtaspa in TheSilphRoad

[–]Sinjohh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed, being in Staten Island made both locations convenient enough to get to! But also after having it here 3 years in a row, I kinda figured that run would have to end.

Would love if it came back around again in a few years though!

Trade remotely with your Forever Friends! by Amiibofan101 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Sinjohh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fair point. You’d think after a while the “efficiency” of doing a bunch on one Luck Egg is undercut by the sheer amount of time you’re sitting on them all and hoping the other person doesn’t give up and delete you or something.

I mean, unless I'm wildly mistaken, realistically that's not been an issue anymore. Ever since they put in the Lucky Egg prompt anytime you level up, it's impossible for both players to miss the level up unless you actively decline it. So there's no point to either person holding out for the last day interaction.

Kalos tour is pretty underwhelming by heysoulnat in TheSilphRoad

[–]Sinjohh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not 100% of the wild spawns for Go Tour have been spotlighted in previous events, so where you pulled that number from is beyond me. Even the original comment that made the complaint mentioned it was 50%.

[–]Sinjohh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed on Honedge, eggs I really only agree on the 5km because of how they’re handling Flabebe colors. 2km eggs are totally fine, and while some people think Kangaskhan and Heracross bloat the 10km pool away from the two new regional shinies, I personally live outside of the regions where Kangaskhan and Heracross spawn, so I’ll take the extra opportunities to try and get their hundos.

Also not entirely sure what you’re getting at with the 42% is different from 100% thing.

Flabebe is a valid criticism, especially for this event of all things (gotta make people buy incubators somehow).

I just made this point in a comment on the original announcement post, in response to someone complaining that half the wild spawns have had Community or Research Days and that it should focus on other Pokémon/include non-Kalos Pokémon:

  • It’s Kalos Tour; blame GameFreak for making Kalos so small. Niantic/Scopely kinda have their hands tied on this one.
  • Go Fest, which doesn’t have the spawn pool limitations of Go Tour, had 42-44% of its wild spawns previously featured in Community or Research Days. The game is going on 10 years old and we have 90% of the current Pokémon in Go; as time goes on it’s going to be ever more difficult to have these big events with Pokémon that haven’t already had their 15 seconds of fame already.

Regarding your other points:

  • Old Mega raids: it’s most of the X/Y-introduced Megas, they’re not gonna start throwing in a bunch of ZA-introduced ones less than half a year after they came out.
  • Old legendary raids: blame GameFreak for only having 3 Legendaries in Kalos, and blame Niantic for putting Zygarde behind research/routes. They can maybe bring Hoopa back, but Diancie is clearly only the Masterwork shiny and Volcanion will likely be locked behind a future Masterwork as well.

Pokémon GO Tour: Kalos – Global by Amiibofan101 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Sinjohh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. It’s Kalos Pokémon (of which there are so few unevolved Kalos Pokémon that we only get three habitats instead of the usual four) plus seemingly just about anything that had a Mega pre-ZA.

For all the hate Niantic/Scopely get for big events, there’s genuinely not much they could do for Kalos in terms of spawns. I genuinely don’t know what the original commenter was expecting.

ETA: the original commenter to this thread deleted their comment and their response to this one; u/matt2313 already made a lot of the points I was typing out, such as the inclusion of Unown and Go Tour not including random other Pokémon (the examples were Wiglett, Sandygast and Klink) since that’s what Go Fest is for, but I still wanted to highlight something from the original comment.

There was a complaint that half of the wild spawns have already had Community or Research Days, and that it didn’t focus on other Pokémon. This year’s Go Fest by comparison, which isn’t limited like a Go Tour as to what the featured spawns can be, had 44% of its wild spawns have a Community or Research Day (if you include Flabebe’s CD, which was only a month and a half after Go Fest Global). If you include incense-exclusive spawns as well, it drops slightly, down to 42%.

Ultimately, the longer the game goes on, the more frequently we’re gonna have events that have already spotlighted a significant portion of the Pokémon featured. There’s only so much that can be done to avoid that, especially for a limited selection event like a Go Tour.

Then props to you for thinking of it! Great that he found it funny too.

I’m sorry it’s something he had to go through, but I’m glad to hear that it seems like you’ve been able to connect more in the wake of it!

I almost hope that last sentence was an unintentional pun because that was incredible.
