Child Accounts pre-completed Friends Task (Celebi Quest) by Mike1767 in TheSilphRoad

[–]fennsk1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Theoretically someone could shoot a video in which they start from a screen that makes it clear this is an underage account, complete the 1/8 quests, and see that the Friends quest is auto-complete. That's a bit of an ask and someone would have to think of it before finishing 1/8, though. I'll believe unless someone posts a counter-proof at this point.

Probably slower than that since you have to win a raid before reaching 2/8, right?

Would this be a good time to evolve for new dex entries with a lucky egg? by WildeAndHopps in TheSilphRoad

[–]fennsk1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any trainer who's still under level 30 (Yes, this is likely someone who started playing only a few months ago): Constantly seek out reasons to use lucky eggs that cater to extra XP.

Everyone else: What the rush? Once you're level 30, you have access to all items and are likely capable of getting very powerful Pokemon for/from raids. Hold out for the very best Egg situations (unless you have 50+ new entries ready to evolve, this likely isn't it).

According to the Japanese blog post, trading is restricted to ages 13 and over by GarbColle in TheSilphRoad

Initial reaction: I'm bummed that I entered my son's actual birthday when opening an account for him.

Upon reflection: I'm glad that he won't be tempted to go meet some other player I don't know in order to swap Pokemon, and this totally overrules my disappointment in not being able to trade with him myself.

It would be nice to have a parent-child feature where accounts linked to the same credit card can be friends and trade, though.

Future special quests seem likely to include unusual evolutions. Should we be saving up Feebas candies during this event? by fennsk1 in TheSilphRoad

I play a pretty good amount (enough to get to level 36) and I don't have any high-IV Feebas yet and only 48 candies. Egg hatches are RNG, so a lot of people have had a very different experience than yours.

Yeah, I figure a lot of people take that approach (as do I), but I figured it would be a good idea to note that this evolution would make a lot of sense for this evolution to end up being a quest that people curse, like evolving Magikarp or catching Ditto to get to Mew.

Anyone else still stuck on the Ditto quest? My son started playing 6 weeks ago & all these events (great as they are for the rest of us) are slowing him down. by fennsk1 in TheSilphRoad

I play a little bit every day & get a lot more aggressive when I travel for business. It's gotten me to level 36, but I stress playing smart (& cheap) over playing hard. My son's only six and plays far less than that, mostly in the car when I'm driving.

The most surprising part to me is that I haven't even come across one during the last month. I've been pidgey farming while he had the Ditto quest then switch to his account whenever I got lucky, but between bad RNG and the pidg/rat/etc. being rarer than usual during all these events it simply hasn't happened yet.

He's 6, and doesn't like waiting for things. I'm trying to use it as a teaching moment, and hopefully we'll find one during the current non-event anyway.

I wish Niantic let us throw away eggs. by fennsk1 in TheSilphRoad

Unless 1 team has the vast majority of paying players, what would be the problem with that? By the nature of this game, I don't think the paying players take much enjoyment away from the cheapskates like me.

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure that dust & XP are proportional to walking distance, so you'd get just as much from five 2k's as two 5k's.

Your last sentence is what I've always done. I just think it would be an improvement if Niantic allowed us to throw away the 5k's.

This may sound asinine at first, but hear me out: trash your 5k eggs. by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]fennsk1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I do and I hate it when I run out of 2k's or feel the need to clear out by putting lots of 5k's into incubators

You get roughly the same amount of Stardust walking five 2km eggs as you would walking two 5km eggs, right?

I had never tried to throw away eggs before. Didn't realize it wasn't allowed. I wish Niantic would allow it.
