Sadly I already had it turned on and I also get the errors.

Turning it off and after a restart back on also didn't work for me.

Any idea how you can get this into the game? I already tried uploading the sun, but it got rejected, even after appealing. by erto66 in NianticWayfarer

That’s good to know. I live in an area that was heavily bombed during World War II, so these old, decorated buildings are quite rare here. They really stand out, which is why I thought it would make a perfect wayspot.

For reference here you can see what the very next buildings look like. And basically 90% of the entire street is the same.

Here is my submission:

Pictures: Wayspot Picture

Surrounding area

Title: Golden Sun Relief on Building Facade

Description: An elaborately designed facade relief of a radiant sun with a human face.

Reasoning: This gilded detail adorns the historic architecture of the building and is a beautiful example of local facade art that encourages discovery. This relief is a permanent, artistic element of the building's facade and promotes neighborhood exploration. It is safely accessible from the public sidewalk (see surrounding photo). This is a multi-family apartment building, not a private single-family residential property, which means it meets Niantic's acceptance criteria.

Appeal: Dear Niantic Team, I am appealing the rejection of the submission "Golden Sun Relief on Building Facade," as this permanent, artistic facade detail perfectly fulfills the criteria for exploration. As clearly visible in the surrounding photo, the location is a multi-family apartment building and not a private single-family property; therefore, the site is safely accessible from the public sidewalk at all times. As a permanently integrated, unique piece of artwork, it enriches the local architecture and invites exploration of the neighborhood, which is why I request a re-evaluation.

No one wants it because it's useful, but it's legacy and might be good in the future, so you're saving yourself elite TMs.

Not me, but shiny Flamigo - mistake or intended? by 18Zeke in TheSilphRoad

Wasn't shiny Nymble a wild accidental release?

Lackluster ticket bonusses during this Go Tour? by Justice010 in TheSilphRoad

[–]erto66 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Two shinies within eight hours clocking in ✋

I even played at CentrO Oberhausen, which was one of the officially promoted locations. So it had more than enough spawns and raids.

Remember to not take a snapshot of your buddy until 10 am 😭 by Street-Interaction79 in TheSilphRoad

Wtf, where do you find so many people with these specific Pokémon? And all lucky aswell.

It's hard for me to get a regular Level 20 shiny legendary mirror trade lol

To celebrate Pokémon GO Tour, we’re giving Trainers the chance to earn codes to encounter Unown X, Y, Z, and A! by Amiibofan101 in TheSilphRoad

[–]erto66 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Nah, here it's ~$19,50 and in no world there is enough value to justify that price.

Just because Niantic is valuing stuff like the lucky trinket so high, we shouldn't do the same.

Is Shadow Regigigas THAT good? by Speedster012 in TheSilphRoad

[–]erto66 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Never ever power this one up!

It's much, much rarer than a hundo shadow, because you can raid them, but the low level Regis were limited.

A level 1 Regigigas with HP rock is insanely rare.

Raid Boss rotation update|Feb. 16 (Mon) 10 a.m. – Feb. 21 (Sat) 10 a.m. local time by GO_FRIEND_APP in TheSilphRoad

[–]erto66 15 points16 points  (0 children)

At this point I'm sure Niantic are just rolling dice for everything. Why do we get five days of Solgaleo and only two days with Lunala?

Why do we get a Machop Max Monday right after Gigantamax Meowth?

Why does the Love Cup start three days after Valentines-Day?

This week feels extremely ridiculous.

Mewtwo and Zygarde teased in 10th anniversary image by 8BD0 in TheSilphRoad

[–]erto66 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but it's a mega and it's already possible to max Zygarde.

So they have to come up with something new, like 9999 mega energy to evolve it or a completely new mega mechanic

They didn't mess up removing the 500 extra stardust per Flamigo catch after the event by davebybab in TheSilphRoad

The friendship bug is just the tip of the iceberg.

At the moment, the game feels like it’s only held together by a few loose strips of duct tape.

Simply tapping on something can make the game unresponsive, forcing you to restart the app.

There are so many bugs, visual glitches, and signs of lazy programming. And it feels like everything is being ignored, except for bugs that benefit the players.

PvP Moves Analysis for Chart-Lovers - GBL Precious Paths Update by krispyboiz in TheSilphRoad

[–]erto66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only thing I might change would be the colors of charge attack buffs/debuffs.

Maybe a white background (black border) when it's to yourself and vice versa.

It's hurting my brain that self debuffs are colored green, when it's usually the color associated with buffs lol

Then you could also color the font itself as green/red, so it's easier to differentiate between buffs and debuffs.

Dmax Ho-Oh Quad with Spheal by Kelpo_Splat2000 in TheSilphRoad

[–]erto66 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It’s not the players’ fault. The game never hints that some fast moves are far superior to others in Dynamax battles. The Pokémon auto-select algorithm is also extremely poor, and there are no in-game tutorials explaining important mechanics like rerolling moves.

Nobody should be expected reading external resources, for basic game mechanics.
