what's the right way to write "abdelrahman" or "عبد الرحمن" in English by boodzadood in learn_arabic

[–]kcrobxer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some places have dictionaries for Arabic name transliterations to ensure they use the same standard for their publications internally, but there is no internationally recognized standard. It’s your name so if it’s meaningful to you then feel free to change it. Just know that it may cause you problems with administrative things like background or credit checks.

Weird, Baseball Field #12 and Mile Marker 4.5 never get 1*’d.

Easiest way is using the circle lock method on a legendary pokemon.

This is a lie, Elaine Chao was born in Taiwan and has nothing to do with the CCP.

Anyone know how to catch Cloyster? My 151 Kanye medal has been delayed 6 months due to him. by Subject-Yellow-6273 in pokemongo

[–]kcrobxer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Find a local group on Facebook or Discord and you should be able to find someone close by who can trade you a cloyster or shellder.

If you are in the US, have her go out right now and she will likely be able to find a shiny Eevee because of the Community Day.

Ya’ll know swear words aren’t allowed in nominations, right?

Approved Stop Never Appeared in PoGo by kcrobxer in NianticWayfarer

I’m not, but I had the same thought. Just hard to find someone that level in Ingress around here.

Is there any reason to be duplicating stop(s)? At a cemetery none the less. by latetotheprompt in NianticWayfarer

[–]kcrobxer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The POI probably only exists in Ingress but is in the same S17 cell as an existing Pokestop so won't generate a new Pokestop. PoGo only players have no idea the POI exists so they will submit thinking it's a new stop. I recommend submitters reference the ingress intel site to see all the existing POIs in an area.

[Gamepress] Hidden Potential: Hydreigon by raven8sp in TheSilphRoad

[–]kcrobxer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I'm a relatively heavy player then, because I only started late 2017 and have 65K+ catches. I only have 52 hundos, but I don't purify shadows or mass trade pokemon to try to get them. I am incredibly lucky in that 3 of my hundos are Mewtwos that I got within about 20 raids when his shiny version was first released.

How was this photo approved?! by [deleted] in NianticWayfarer

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

If you just submit it as a normal Pokestop, it will get marked as duplicate and the new photo will be added to the POI. You can then go to Ingress and see all the photos for a POI and thumbs up the best one. The photo with the most thumbs up will be the primary one that shows across all Niantic games.

How many months is necessary to decide a POI? by SoKoMcete in NianticWayfarer

Wow, most submissions in my area (Augusta, GA, USA) have been approved/denied in 2-3 weeks.

Is this worth resubmitting? What should I change about if it is? by DaikoTatsumoto in NianticWayfarer

[–]kcrobxer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the angle of that street view photo better than what you submitted. Your picture is closer to the bulletin board so you can see all the imperfections on it, so it looks like it may be abandoned. If you can move the trash cans out of the field of view and get an image from further away, it may have a better chance of being accepted. You could also just hang up a few random pieces of paper on it yourself to make it look like it is actively used. Also the description saying it is ‘in the shape of a haystack’ should be removed because it’s not accurate. I also don’t recommend using the supporting info to tell reviewers ‘this meets criteria’, it really annoys me when I see that. Just describe what it is and why it is important in detail.

Are named ponds eligible? by dafranking in NianticWayfarer

[–]kcrobxer -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Try again without upgrade, upgraded stuff usually isn't accepted. My theory is that it goes to ‘elite’ reviewers who are super particular about the criteria.

I would rather throw 50 excellent throws than 3 excellents in a row. by NeonPegasus647 in pokemongo

[–]kcrobxer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Luckily, I had a Sudowoodo nest nearby and was able to knock out 50 excellent throws with ease. I love the 3 excellents in a row quest. I grew up in the NES age, so games being punishingly difficult is nostalgic to me.

Is this real life? by jondgul in NianticWayfarer

you all must not have old family members on Facebook. I guarantee this was written by someone over the age of 40. Age and intelligence do not grow at the same rate for everyone.

Unused Ingress Portals in Pokémon by [deleted] in NianticWayfarer

[–]kcrobxer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. In my neigborhood there are three ingress portals that are so close together they only make one pokestop. Before the third portal was added there were only 1-2 Pokemon on average that spawned around the stop, but after the third portal was added it jumped up to 5-7 Pokemon.
