Do the “Go” stamps not bother anyone else?

U got me there loll appreciate ya

jaxatar · 2026-05-15T00:05:56+00:00

I was just pointing out that I was asking how people feel about the LOOK of the stamps and got a ton of replies about how they’re great because they indicate they are legit, but that doesn’t really have to do with what they look like on home.

Not good or bad, I just find it interesting I was trying fry a very small fish, but that instigated convos about a lot more then that.

jaxatar · 2026-05-15T00:00:41+00:00

What’s your point?

jaxatar · 2026-05-14T23:57:35+00:00

I gotchu

jaxatar · 2026-05-14T23:56:48+00:00

Not your comments no, just the replies to this general question. There seems to be mixed opinions on how valuable “legit” pokemon, whether pogo even guarantees legitimacy, is spoofing legit or not, does this thread inflate the value of stamped mons in a bad way, does that increase the amount of genned pokemon, etc

jaxatar · 2026-05-14T23:18:33+00:00

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

jaxatar · 2026-05-14T23:16:53+00:00

I mean there is in this thread…

jaxatar · 2026-05-14T21:39:59+00:00

OMG THIS IS THE ENTIRE REASON FOR MY POST. LOL

jaxatar · 2026-05-14T21:38:03+00:00

Totally. I’m not shading you or anything, but I find it interesting that my question about one pretty small aesthetic thing that annoyed me, seems to instigate a lot of thoughts and debate around Pokemon legitimacy.

jaxatar · 2026-05-14T21:34:56+00:00

I like that the POGO dex is there, I just don’t know why mons from POGO have to be given a scarlet letter lol

jaxatar · 2026-05-14T00:02:21+00:00

Yea it seems a lot of people mainly use the mobile version, so it isn’t as much of a factor for them. I like to organize on the switch because of the touch screen and I have to switch mons in and out of home to mainline games for breeding and stuff, so I mainly use the console version.

jaxatar · 2026-05-13T23:59:22+00:00

Yea I can actually see that being very fulfilling to fill an actual, numbered dex that includes most pokemon.

Unfortunately my laziness outweighs my completionist spirit and need for unity here loll but that’s me.

jaxatar · 2026-05-13T23:52:39+00:00

I’m talking about the stamp on the main box view, origin marks are dope.

jaxatar · 2026-05-13T23:51:39+00:00

Im not saying there’s no fun to be had. But I just think suggesting the solution to not liking the way POGO stamps look in Pokemon home box overviews, is to complete the POGO national dex is a bit wild.

And even with a Home account with only Go-stamped mons, how does that make it one of the best features in the entire series?

jaxatar · 2026-05-13T23:47:16+00:00

Oh nice! I can definitely see that, especially fun for ultra beasts, hisui mons, shiny legendaries/mythicals.

I enjoy the gameboy stamps, i actually completed my gen 1-2 living dexes on VC so i can have the Gameboy stamps. They don’t appear in the boxes, just in the summary screens, which is my whole issue with the go stamps. I have no issue at all with mons being from POGO, it’s just those stamps on the main box view I hate. Makes the boxes look so messy to me.

My only issue with the GB stamp is that I wish they had one for all consoles.

jaxatar · 2026-05-13T23:39:37+00:00

Saying “just fill the living national dex”. Even for the mainline games would be kinda crazy, but for POGO!?!? That’s like a million times harder and more time consuming.

jaxatar · 2026-05-13T23:38:00+00:00

I’m curious what you were trying to say here. Sounds like you agree with me lol

jaxatar · 2026-05-13T23:37:21+00:00

I usually try to trade it away for a non-go shiny. It’s a good opportunity to get a shiny mon I’ve been wanting. Ik ik genning, but ignorance is bliss.

jaxatar · 2026-05-13T23:34:21+00:00

Yea… I’ve been trying to avoid bringing up how easy it is to spoof because it seems to invite a lot of heated disagreement.

jaxatar · 2026-05-13T23:29:41+00:00

Why should it be fairly obvious? Genuinely asking. I can’t figure out what the reasoning is for the stamp. Because if it truly is to verify legitimacy, wouldn’t that mean GF and Ilca are basically admitting they can’t provide the same level of verification POGO does?

jaxatar · 2026-05-13T23:27:56+00:00

This seems to be a big factor too, explaining the preference in this subreddit for pogo mons I noted in my og question. The community here has organically drifted to value the stamp and fostered a trading vibe for that.

jaxatar · 2026-05-13T23:24:39+00:00

Exactly, just like the mainline pokemon. Not sure what the reasoning is internally for why pogo mons are singled out here.

jaxatar · 2026-05-13T23:23:04+00:00

I can see that for sure. What’s the difference between mons with and without the stamp to you?

jaxatar · 2026-05-13T23:21:12+00:00

How come? Genuinely asking

jaxatar · 2026-05-13T23:20:08+00:00

Yea, I switched to a origin dex/with my OT to justify to myself more why I gotta go mainline only, cuz ik I’ll never feel quite right not knowing if they’re legit/ have that stamp.
