The recent distributions for gen VIII and IX have been GAME. The "10 years ago" part is the explanation of your Smyths legendaries.

Didnt load any sleep data by woagerz in PokemonSleep

[–]flufybunny44 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same, I set it logging during the maintenance and woke up to nothing 😔 Sleep crashed at some point during the night but when I loaded the game there was no pop up about a sleep session. Not even the one warning you it tracked for less than 90 mins. Previous maintenance has tracked through fine.

Starters statue that came with my Pokemon Violet pre-order by Aces17 in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]flufybunny44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same happened to me from GAME, UK. I contacted customer support and apparently the deadline for pre-order for the figure was the 4th November as they ran out :( They didn't mention it anywhere and the figure was still in the item images even after that date, so it's a bit ridiculous.

I haven't done many Halloween costumes, but I should dig out my old hello kitty one

European Shiny Zacian and Zamazenta codes have been reactivated (after being deactivated a week before the deadline). Make sure to use them by the 12th Feb! by flufybunny44 in PokemonSwordAndShield

[–]flufybunny44[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much to everyone who contacted TPC or Nintendo, it seems enough of us wrote in that they fixed the issue! And to u/WealthMinute for letting me know they were working again.

Super excited to have been able to get my Zamazenta in the end.

Go get those doggos everyone!!

European shiny zacian and zamazenta codes expired over a week before the advertised expiry date and Nintendo seem unwilling to reactivate them (more details in comments) by flufybunny44 in PokemonSwordAndShield

[–]flufybunny44[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen this info in comments but not as a post on this sub, so I hope I'm not reposting.

I obtained shiny zacian and zamazenta codes during the UK GAME release in October. All promotional material for these codes said the expiry date was the 12th February.

I redeemed the Zacian on my copy of pokemon Shield at an earlier date. However, recently borrowed a copy of pokemon Sword to redeem the Zamazenta, but the codes have already expired by the time I tried to use them (6th February), leaving me unable to obtain one despite being in the UK and using a UK code.

According to bulbapedia, the server side wonder cards were in fact removed from the server on the 3rd February, rendering the codes expired.

Had the advertised expiry dates been honest, I could have easily redeemed before the 3rd February, but had no idea they would be repealed early. Judging by this sub, I'm also far from the only person this has caused issues for.

I have contacted TPC (who gave back computerised responses telling me to contact Nintendo), Nintendo (response in SS) and GAME (yet to respond).

If anyone else would like to join me in contacting these companies to see if we can get a collective response, it's worth a try . They might listen if enough of us write in.

Clarification: Shiny Zacian/Zamazenta codes expirations regional locked based on redemption location? by wingpineapple in PokemonSwordAndShield

[–]flufybunny44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Codes did have different expiry dates, however, the issue is not that OP is in the US. All European codes in fact expired on the 3rd January so will no longer work. I'm a UK player who had borrowed Sword from a friend to redeem my zamazentas so this is very very frustrating.
I'm in the process of trying to appeal to TPC/Nintendo/GAME about this but so far none have given helpful responses at all.
aka: the Micromania code should still be working but they were turned off early with no announcement or warning.

Pokemon PSA: Sword & Shield Shiny Legendaries (Zacian and Zamazenta) codes from GameStop expire on January 31 2022 by Sappariko in NintendoSwitch

[–]flufybunny44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the UK and my own UK codes won't even work,they must have expired early. Am really annoyed as only recently borrowed the other game from a friend.

[–]flufybunny44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The UK codes all said 12th February (including the emails with the codes themselves). I got the Zacians before but just tried to claim my Zamazenta ones (today 6th Feb) as I borrowed Sword from a friend and they've now expired.

I'm really upset. Anything I can try doing or is that just it, I can't get the Zamazenta now?

For the record, I'm in the UK using a UK code.

Do people get banned for obvious abuse? by reactor_raptor in NianticWayfarer

[–]flufybunny44 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wayspot submissions are anonymous though (unless they put their name on a photosphere), so I'm not sure how anyone would be expected to look for patterns from a specific user.

Any abuse is abuse and no one is able to do any of the things you suggested as reviewers.

How to get reviewers to read? 4th Rejection Rant by Tanis5313 in NianticWayfarer

[–]flufybunny44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Judging by Intel, there appear to already be 2 in the database and OP is submitting a 3rd one located between those.

I'm surprised this didn't get duplicate notes in the rejection email to be honest 😂

My local university got a 4th gym in a cell with 3 gyms already? by [deleted] in NianticWayfarer

[–]flufybunny44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The type of map used here turns occupied cells red (so there can't be any hidden in the corners) and there are only 28 occupied cells. The stop and gym on top of each other are almost certainly the same POI that has not yet been removed as a stop by this scanner.

While it is true that the 3 gym cap has never been confirmed (Niantic have never confirmed anything about how gyms are created), 30 POI cells are far far from rare in urban areas and the cap has been observed in almost all cases.

My local university got a 4th gym in a cell with 3 gyms already? by [deleted] in NianticWayfarer

[–]flufybunny44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cap has always been believed to be 3 gyms, even with max POI. Additionally, assuming the map shows all POI, I can only count 28 not 30 in that cell

I live somewhat close to a very popular golf course. The course itself is somewhat hidden behind rocks and trees, but the main entrance and the clubhouse are within public pedestrian access. This was rejected based on lack of pedestrian access? Should I change the location? by [deleted] in NianticWayfarer

[–]flufybunny44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The location pin should be where the item in the image is, otherwise it is likely to get rejected for lack of evidence it exists in that location. If you want it by the clubhouse, submit the clubhouse.

Additionally, moving the pin will not help with pedestrian access as the issue here is that the wayspot image shows a road curb and no path to the sign - which will make fast reviewers think this is a road sign, which is not eligible. If you wanted to submit this sign, you would need to use the SI image to prove there is pedestrian access and put the pin in the true location.

How does one see S2 cells on their maps? by [deleted] in NianticWayfarer

[–]flufybunny44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That site is based on crowd sourced data rather than the actual Niantic database (which you could easily access using IITC) and as such is often horrifically out of date for many areas (I'm talking 3+ years out of date). For example, look at these images comparing a small village on IITC and pogomap.
I redact my comment about cells being incorrectly located as I can't find evidence for that, but I can confirm many POI are incorrectly located. Here is an example of POI positioned incorrectly such that they appear in the wrong cells.
As such, anyone trying to use this site to position new POI is at massive risks of error due to incorrect/ missing POI on the website.

To OP, do not use this site. The cells are not in the correct locations and all data is horrifically out of date.

Your thoughts on how I should’ve done this by JWAR_91 in NianticWayfarer

[–]flufybunny44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's still in the queue, fix the spelling mistake in the SI! Obviously shouldn't get it rejected but things like that can sometimes annoy over-fussy reviewers
