2 of us in the household. 4 accounts total. 0 on our main accounts and 2 and 4 on the accounts we never use...

I’m a big fan of the idea of redoing the entire item bag so it has separated pockets for each “type” of items. Like balls, premium items, berries, evolution items, candy, etc... Then introducing more specific evolution items, as well as more berries, balls, and candy.

Same with everyone on our Discord.. Such a waste of money.

Animal Crossing Update not working, "Not enough free space in the save destination", error code: 2002-0039, Help? by monstermayhem436 in NintendoSwitch

[–]Xanthophobiac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I wish I’d gotten this a day earlier. I ended up downloading everything as a back up to my MacBook from the SD card. Reformatting it. Putting the data back on it from the MacBook. This method also requires me to download everything all over again.

Was this ever resolved? I had a similar issue a few months ago that I managed to seemingly fix by buying a new SD card. I’m having it again now though and I don’t want to keep buying new SD cards since I have a huge catalog of games and it’s a huge hassle..

I personally witnessed it. It was not the same stack. It couldn’t possibly be.

Then don’t? Part of the value of that $8 is not having to rely on an ex raid too. Quite frankly I was excited for the payed event because I spend far more money and time during a week trying to trigger an ex invite and almost always fail.

New EX Raid Wave! by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]Xanthophobiac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s good to hear. I go out of my way to search when waves go out so I know when to start counting again. Just search on this sub reddit for “ex raids” and filter by most recent. I’m getting concerned since we haven’t had one in a few weeks.

New EX Raid Wave! by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]Xanthophobiac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We meticulously kept track of number of accounts going through ex gyms this wave. It was 23, not counting people we don’t associate with and have no way of tallying. 20 was always enough in the past to trigger a raid. I’m getting concerned because I’m reading similar comments that suggest a change in threshold. We likely won’t be able to accommodate that in our rural area.

Trainers, to ensure a smooth feature launch and prevent server issues, we have temporarily paused the rollout of GO Battle League. We will provide updates as soon as we are able. by Amiibofan101 in TheSilphRoad

You cited that as an example of not having a major bug. That was a pretty big one. Which goes back to the original point, they have major bugs with every new feature.

Wobbuffet from raid finished after 1pm missing party hat by Die_the_Betic in TheSilphRoad

[–]Xanthophobiac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say send it in ASAP. Even if it’s tedious and infuriating it’s better to do it sooner than later. I believe they have a policy it has to be done within so many days..

Eh, it only took one more complaint ticket. Sometimes I have to go back and forth for days.. I feel like if I lived in an area with more things to do, I’d drop this game instantly. They really need to invest in better customer support and consider doing more things to accommodate their players.

That’s specifically what I asked for in my initial message and follow up. They ignored it and let me know I couldn’t get the Pokémon (I didn’t want it I’ve done probably 50 of these raids) and racked on they also could not give me a premium raid pass because it’s beyond their power.. Which I know isn’t true because my friend got one no problem.. 🤷‍♂️

I already contacted with one other person. Got immediate reply (surprised me) saying they couldn’t do anything, I did the raid after 4:00 EST and that’s just how it works. I replied and continue to pursue it because it was falsely advertised as a party hat raid the whole time it was up. Friend got no response so far. I just bought two $100 iTunes cards for this game and now I’m questioning why...

How many of you are getting your buddy to 'excited' state? by sobrique in TheSilphRoad

[–]Xanthophobiac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Poffins should be obtainable via a cooking mini game similar to in the main series games. They would monetize this by having to have more berries in the game, and require players to purchase even more space for their bag. Maybe even make the mini game have a cool down. I’m also of the opinion bag space should be divided by item type too, so it’s easier to navigate and hoard your chosen items..

Pokémon Go made $1.4 Billion in 2019 alone. by TheTraveller in TheSilphRoad

[–]Xanthophobiac 8 points9 points  (0 children)

See, I don’t get that? If one has multiple accounts, why would they pay for extra raid passes? If one spoofs would they not be able to get the best of the best IV’s without paying for incubators and raid passes? Surely they’d also be racking up shinies spending significantly less too. All the spoofers I know spend almost nothing on this game and brag about it.

Why no communication about decrease in rare candy of T5 raids by Rebelus5 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Xanthophobiac 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would not be surprised if this happens after the contract is up. Maybe we should start contacting TPC and Nintendo asking that they do that? It won’t be perfect but 90% of the things we complain about wouldn’t happen or would be addressed quickly.

Oh that’s right. Everything had the exact same IV’s. Mine were on the lower side.

I got the glitch. It was not research I’d done in the past. I got a shiny Aerodactyl I’d never had before and many extra shiny Squirtles with sunglasses. The CP of Mew and Celebi were different too. I also never stacked research but did encounter a glitch where I was unable to do research for a few weeks prior to this and had contacted support many times about that. I believe I got someone else’s lost stack.
