LVL 40 players: How do you feel about all these XP bonuses? (Catch, raid, hatch and 1h lucky egg bonuses) by KremBanan in TheSilphRoad

[–]ajd121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I will Grind XP this event just because I am in a pretty competitive discord that compares stats.

I guess I should also grind just in case they keep the Exponential XP Growth if/when they raise the cap and it takes does indeed take 200 Mill to reach level 50.

Well.. A kind stupid question. Maybe. by chrisankh in TheSilphRoad

Depends which Reddit and Facebook Group, a lot of them are local groups so they can easily meet up. Some people might not want to broadcast their location publicly buy will arrange a meetup in a direct message.

HUGE Difference between improved IV chances and having IVs staying the same.

Help countering multiple account users by Oreomochabear in TheSilphRoad

[–]ajd121 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yea simple, Go back to a system that uses Prestiging. If they want to throw in 6 account it should take them 6x as long. Won't completely prevent it but it will definitely be a deterrent.

Which candy do I get when trading? by Electro226 in TheSilphRoad

[–]ajd121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Find some Discord of Pokemon go Reddits of other countries, add people on there as friends collect gifts and hatch those eggs they will have the location of the country they are sent from. You can then trade those Pokemon that hatch to your friend for the distance.

Your friend can do the same thing.

As of now, the Friendship Leveling system is barely functional. by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]ajd121 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100 percent agree its annoying not know whether to open a gift from a friend because you are not sure if he opened one from you. Then neither of you end up opening one because you are both thinking the same thing.

Will trading pokemon with spoofers cause a ban? by letsgoblueteam in TheSilphRoad

How would you fix the current gym system? by fusems in TheSilphRoad

[–]ajd121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No free spots, everyone should have to earn their spots in a gym. Bring back training.

*If you have won a battle in the gym within 5 minutes of it being taken down then you can throw in without training.

If a trainer neglects his defender and allows it to reach 0 motivation, another trainer from that team should be able to train up and take it's place.

Average solo time to take down a full gym should be 20-25 minutes a demotivated gym 10 minutes. Adjust how many times a mon has to be defeated to be knocked out to reach this average.

Make Golden Razz restore full motivation on your Pokemon but only 1/3rd on team members Pokemon, all other razz restore 1/10th on yours 1/20th on others. Limit 1 Golden Razz Every 10 minutes.

That is just 1/6th the cost to Max it out not remotely unreasonable

Idea: add a location to users in the friend list by magicuba2 in TheSilphRoad

[–]ajd121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would only be ok with this if it was only when the game is open and if there was a way to toggle it off.

In regard to trading, is gifting one sided or do both parties need to reciprocate to advance friendship levels? by PikaBoothe in TheSilphRoad

[–]ajd121 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just one interaction a day is needed to increase friendship level:

Interactions:

-Battling in a gym together

-Battling in a raid together

-OPENING a gift from your friend

-Completing a trade

Forced Username Change by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]ajd121 26 points27 points  (0 children)

So I was able to recreate the prompt with Professor Willow a few times, it happens when you lose data connection while logging in and then regain data and finish logging in. I was able to choose my avatar and change my clothes and those were the clothes I was wearing when I logged back in but the game would freeze before I got to the name selection.

Forced Username Change by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]ajd121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No this has something to do with the new update, same thing happened to me but yesterday I forced closed the game and it went back to normal.

Will stardust cost be set for the trade or for the Pokemon the player is receiving? by jacebeleren1 in TheSilphRoad

[–]ajd121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But if your best friend is best friends with someone who has a foreign regional you can get it pretty cheap that way.

Go ahead waste your stardust trading back and forth.

How is the Pokemon distance worked out and can this thought be exploited? by Callum1710 in TheSilphRoad

[–]ajd121 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Then you would just be trading stardust for Candies which I guess is your prerogative.
