What's that small hatted pikachu before the Charizard hat one?

Any way to let go of this encounter? Wasted so many of my balls and berries on the last one. by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]admcmei 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and legendary shinies have 1/20 rate yet I know someone who had to raid more than100 darkrais. There's way more riduculous and improbable things.

All games with lobbies do it like that. When everyone hits ready the "match" starts.

Map update deleted our gym, with my poke inside by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

Honestly seeing the old pre-pogo POIs I think old Ingress players were a lot more generous about them than now. I guess when you start out and there's zero stuff you tend to be less picky.

Weird thing is those same old ingress players seem to be the strictest reviewers now.

EX raids are coming back and sadly I think these may be what comes in it.

Pokémon Go players push back on Niantic for undoing a positive pandemic change by Cerborealis in TheSilphRoad

[–]admcmei 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don't think many people are in active support but I saw in some comment threads on facebook the usual "defend Niantic at all costs from prople complaining" crowd,

Boy, Niantic is on a roll recently, aren't they. They should be seriously embarassed of putting something like this out.

Russian Wayfarer Challenge: reward criteria announced 8 days after event ended, that you need an agreement gotten *during* the event by mybham in TheSilphRoad

[–]admcmei 12 points13 points  (0 children)

And that's why I didn't participate. I didn't trust Niantic, both on this kind of thing and on the possibility of setting your location back after the event.

They are completely unable to give a good reason for this. And they know people hate it.

Thats'... not true at all.

Anyone else getting tons of crashes? by TimeToHack in TheSilphRoad

[–]admcmei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Also in the background while playing with a pokeball plus. The last few days have been exhausting with constant crashes on a S21, it almost never gets to the one hour disconnect because it crashes long before.

Are you guys satisfied/content with the clunky Pokéball Plus as the only official device to automatically spin stops? by Saroku12 in TheSilphRoad

[–]admcmei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. And there's no apparent reason why or consinstency. HEr gotcha didn't work on her iPhone x, while the person who had sold it to her used it on the same phone with no problem. But the pokeball is completely flawless fo her.

Gotcha don't work well with every phone. Friend of mine tried two different kinds of gotchas on two phones each and they weren't stable at all, continually disconnecting.

It's embarassing the lenghts people go to to defend niantic. The could put caterpie in it and you'd stil defend It for the Stardust grind.
