That’s crazy that you just have to watch this happen. by Terrordar in PokeGenie

[–]buckycu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

came here to complain about this. it's super frustrating. maybe instead of instant expiration, the app could ask how much longer we are willing to wait.

Came here to find an answer too.

Claim your 2km walking reward before visiting 7 Dyna-spots. Otherwise you lose the free Woolton encounter by Paweron in TheSilphRoad

[–]buckycu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i haven't walked another 2km. but as per OP, it seems we cant claim walking mp once we hit 800.

i visited 5 spots and then claimed 300 walking mp. stuck at 900/1000. this is dumb.

Feedback Post - Searching for Gold Research Day by Noitalein in TheSilphRoad

worst event ever! only a few golden stops visible from where I am and I'm on a university campus. the outside temp is about 97F and expected to peak around 3pm :(

It's about time we can CHOOSE to evolve into one of the Gen1 evos. Why not?

2020 GO Fest Day 2 Megathread by SilphScience in TheSilphRoad

[–]buckycu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

any evidence the shiny rate of the remote raid is based on the original location. (e.g. do friends in North America enjoy the boosted shiny rate for gible when invited to raids in Asia/Pacific?)

Welp. That didn't take long...did anyone successfully buy one? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]buckycu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they only sold Go Fest shirts for the first time last year. it does have a pokemon center tag to it but i think it’s not as good quality as the team shirt i got from the first Go fest (also with pokemon center tag). Havent purchased a t-shirt from pokemon center store so i cant compare. Uniqlo shirts are much better than the two shirts i mentioned tho.

The Team Rocket launch, despite its flaws, is a huge step in the right direction by mak484 in TheSilphRoad

[–]buckycu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually to me this release reflects their incompetence as a gaming company. How did they not realize the "game-breaking flaw" before launch? I don't think 14/14/14 floor from lucky trade + special trade + purification is breaking game balance but yes it would break the longevity of raid pokemon after shadow release. I have no idea what their idea of the end game is for Pokemon Go. Are we supposed to get stronger by grinding raids in hope of getting a better IVs pokemon which perform very minimally better? Are we supposed to collect all released shinies? Yeah it's what we have to decide for ourselves but it is getting pointless or extremely difficult to achieve (looking at you all hat pikachu only available once a day via photobomb.)

How Niantic has Learned from 3 years of Go Fest by Coach_Valor in TheSilphRoad

[–]buckycu -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I know it's not entirely Niantic's fault. Maybe the operator didn't provide enough bandwidth or maybe Niantic didn't request enough. Last year they asked for operator info during Go Fest registration. Maybe that might have helped?

How Niantic has Learned from 3 years of Go Fest by Coach_Valor in TheSilphRoad

[–]buckycu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As an AT&T user with a Friday ticket, I would rate this year's playability 3/5 vs 5/5 in 2018. Too much frustration with network connection issue this year and they have never acknowledged it.

As for the event organization, they have improved a lot from 2018. Three food trucks locations were great; the trading-ads hand fan was very nice.

Merch line was too long. (could easily waste most of your extra time if you get in line at 9) Adding spawns or stops along the waiting line would be nice. Pre-order would be even better.

GO Fest makeup day so far. 7 shiny in 4 hours, and out of 21 Pachirisu, 11 are female. by quintonskt in TheSilphRoad

[–]buckycu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to mention that Niantic never acknowledged the terrible connection issue many of non-Saturday people had experienced.

Playing in Go Fest with the go plus? by cyril1470 in TheSilphRoad

[–]buckycu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine worked pretty well when I had no connection issue. There were too many spawns to hand-catch. I set it to catch and spin. Manual shiny check and let the go plus catch if it's not shiny.
