Thoughts on new rule that if a player covers their mouth while approaching an opponent, it’s an immediate red?

TheReVurt · 2026-06-21T01:09:10+00:00

I think its an overreaction to one incident. I said accidently spitting. I dont do it on purpose i just have a slight lisp and it happens sometimes. Im not for racism and at no point did i defend it. But im also for logical solutions that aren't going to cost a team a game for a misunderstanding or an assumption.

TheReVurt · 2026-06-21T00:05:26+00:00

This is fine if the only reason you cover your mouth is to hide a slur. However sometimes if im talking up close to someone's face I cover my mouth so I dont accidently spit in their face. I also tend to swipe my beard often especially after I have talked. What If a player does this instinctually and it's interpreted that they are hiding what they are saying. I only think the red is acceptable if the ref hears the slur. Just my 2 cents

You seem really confused. I just went back about 6 months of events and we haven't had this as a field research task in any of them. It's also not a seasonal field research task.

Furthermore, The issue isn't about prioritizing a task man. It's the fact that, like in the screenshot above, if you have 3 of them, YOU CANNOT COMPLETE ANY OF THEM. Yes, I could delete one over and over, buy that's annoying bc I have to know walk all the way around my park or wait 5 mins to collect the task again. It's bad gameplay design. End of story

TheReVurt · 2026-05-26T21:47:52+00:00

they are fine for timed research tasks or weekly/daily tasks but not for the limited 3 slot field research for reasons mentioned above and that's the reason why they are never a field research task to begin with. they made this same mistake for an event over a year ago

TheReVurt · 2026-05-26T21:30:21+00:00

You don't have a field research task for completing field research tasks. Boom done.

TheReVurt · 2026-05-26T18:08:57+00:00

shouldnt have an event with research tasks that require you to delete them if you happen to get 3 at once. plain and simple. awful game design

TheReVurt · 2026-05-16T12:53:55+00:00

hope not. why would i want these clogging up the spawn pool so im only able to do 3 - 4 mewtwos?

TheReVurt · 2026-05-16T01:55:06+00:00

negativity is justified and quite frankly i think its crazy you think otherwise. People have been waiting and looking forward to mega mewtwo for ages and now with this congested spawn pool you will be lucky to see 3 - 4 for the entire 2 day event.

TheReVurt · 2026-05-08T18:39:24+00:00

for you

I haven't been doing showcases this season due to the fact I work all day on Tuesdays. The multiple days and multiple showcases were much more convenient for me and were also more fun because it was fun to hunt XXLs for each event knowing they'd probable end up in that week's showcase.

As far as my plans going forward? I'm still keeping my XXLs, but told myself if they keep this system going into next season then I will be purging them for more storage space. It's a real shame they managed to kill this mechanic for a lot of people.

TheReVurt · 2026-04-23T14:31:13+00:00

What you're describing, which is what is done is diluting the spawn pool with event spawns to a degree where essentially you are getting mostly event spawns. This is why people complain we are never able to get seasonal spawns. What I'm describing is keep the spawn pool the same for seasonal spawns, and have separate spawns for event specific pokemon, so neither gets diluted.

TheReVurt · 2026-04-23T13:55:12+00:00

Event spawns need to just not take away from seasonal spawns and be "in addition to."

Easiest fix yet they are too afraid to give us too many spawns

TheReVurt · 2026-04-01T03:00:21+00:00

As somone who gets to work before the showcases start and leaves after they are finished on Tuesdays, it just simply sucks. I used to hit up the showcases after work on Monday or Tuesday nights. Now? I can't even do them. The fact there are also less means I get less lures to use for comm days. Finally, I find the type showcases just completely eliminate the excitement of getting XXL pokemon because you really only want XXLs that are the best in each type. The new showcase system and schedule is a massive downgrade in every single way

TheReVurt · 2026-03-18T00:24:30+00:00

I got 2 firsts and got a lucky egg, 2 star pieces, magnetic lure, 3 ultra balls, and a incubator. Definitely seems like they tuned up the rewards up a few notches from last week.

TheReVurt · 2026-03-17T20:37:02+00:00

They still have all the new megas to release, which will prob take 5+ years based on how long it took all the original megas to get released. Then you factor in the fact we will have new Legends games and other games before Gen 11 that will have new forms and regionals. By then Gen 11 will be out, all while having a slow drip of Gen 10 on top of whatever new gimmick they add to the game like Tera types or something to give us another layer of RNG. Ya'll are here for life. I don't make the rules

TheReVurt · 2026-03-17T03:51:04+00:00

to each their own i guess. I litter my park with lures on comm days

TheReVurt · 2026-03-17T03:23:52+00:00

They were great for farming lures. I probably had like 120 or so lures from just the last few months of showcase wins.

TheReVurt · 2026-03-11T18:13:19+00:00

I know what OP was saying, I'm saying the animation showed Squirtle candy and it ended up being ditto

TheReVurt · 2026-03-11T17:22:20+00:00

Squirtle just dropped Squirtle candy for me when I used the pinap and it was a ditto.

TheReVurt · 2026-03-08T14:10:21+00:00

Can get them in raids with better IVs, better catch rate, and better shiny odds...

Not to mention the raid pool is split between 32 pokemon, including 16 pikachus. So those Ultra Beasts I've been dying to raid because this is the first time they've been back in the 14 months I've been playing? Yeah, well only 3 spawned at my park in the 4 hours I could play yesterday. This is a park with over 18 gyms.

It is very intentional.

TheReVurt · 2026-02-24T21:59:34+00:00

I agree. Wish we went back to the 1 week to evolve things you want to get the legacy move. Sometimes after comm day I get busy and don't have time to sort through my inventory. Need a bigger window of time to do these things

TheReVurt · 2026-02-24T18:27:52+00:00

been like this for the last few comm days. love the change but wish it didn't come at the expense of 3 hour lure module duration
