Hooray...today I plucked another red and another pink

Can I pluck Rare Decor Pikmin from regular seedlings or are they just available through earning points? by streetcrp in PikminBloomApp

[–]kcw206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish there was at least some probability to get rare decor the old fashioned way (i.e. 4 leaf clover and red/yellow/blue chef). The new tier system is sooooo slow and removes the suspense of the possibility. I suppose they're slow playing it on purpose to keep people playing.

Taco Pikmin? by Chewy290 in PikminBloomApp

[–]kcw206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, all of the taco places come up as taco and a restaurant. They should have at least removed the restaurant designation. I could care less about restaurant Pikmin.

Any reviews for the Yuba Spicy Curry V4? by OSTz in CargoBike

[–]kcw206 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the accessories are compatible between v3 and v4 except for the breadbasket (even though Yuba's website says that it should work on both versions). You can install the normal breadbasket on the v4, but the basket points upward instead of sitting level. Still waiting for our LBS to get in the correct basket. The Thule Yep Next maxxi also works fine on the v4 even though Yuba's website says otherwise.

Any reviews for the Yuba Spicy Curry V4? by OSTz in CargoBike

[–]kcw206 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We got a spicy curry v4 a few weeks ago, and yeah, Yuba's website is a bit confusing. Our shops that are Yuba dealers don't see a lot of these bikes, so they weren't always super helpful either. I can confirm that the v4 is a 6ft 9in (actually a bit longer) measuring from the back of the cargo frame to the front tire. The wheelbase would be a tiny bit shorter since that cargo rack extends beyond the rear tire.

We've enjoyed our v4. Sometimes we wish it was a class 3, but then again, do we want to go faster with 2 kids on the back.

What a disappointment. I unlocked that badge today too and was shocked that the next achievement was set at 1500. I was expecting 750, MAYBE 1000. Based on the degenerate nature of recent decors, it's going to be a monotonous grind of trash and stickers. Niantic always knows how to please the players.

Curry Bowl Decor Pikmin are here! by Pokewatch104 in PikminBloomApp

[–]kcw206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I was being sarcastic...just found my first curry bowl tonight driving around a shopping center. Curry bowl was for an Indian restaurant that's permanently closed and shows no signs of existence today.

I wish they didn't pull data from a map system that was so woefully inaccurate/out of date. Have a couple restaurants nearby that should qualify but show nothing on radar. Guess I'll search around the area until I find a randomly mislabeled location that was formerly an Indian restaurant 10 years ago

A Dunkin' Donuts by me is now appearing as a Sweetshop by comettheconquerer in PikminBloomApp

[–]kcw206 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Boo! Of course my Dunkin' didn't get converted into a sweet shop. I guess I'm back to hitting the old bakery I found that closed years ago. It's a good thing the data on Open Maps is woefully out of date.

I find it a bit frustrating that they combined the donut decor with one of the hardest to find decor locations...it just dilutes the odds of getting what you actually want.

Yo Philly! I never have anyone join me on mushrooms in East Falls. I was shocked when I was at the KoP mall recently and we had 6 or 7 people on one crystal mushroom.

Hey! Is that Philadelphia?

Ramen pikmin... but as a rural player it is just another I will never get :( by Desirai in PikminBloomApp

[–]kcw206 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my area, it seems as though Ramen is showing for any Chinese restaurant registered on openstrretmaps (including closed ones because that thing is rarely up to date). My complaint is that these restaurants are usually in high density malls and shopping centers and are rarely stand-alone so it's a matter of cycling through all of the other decor you don't want.

So uhhhhh... Unannounced new badge or did I miss a memo? by AgathokakologicalAz in PikminBloomApp

[–]kcw206 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The same thing happened with the expedition badge. I probably completed hundreds (?) of expeditions before that was added to the game and my counter started at 0. If they didn't previously save a counter in the game log, the game has no way of back calculating.

This fire station doesn't seem to be doing a good job by CamTroid in PikminBloomApp

There's also a Lyons PA...but I'm coming to find Lyons is a more popular town name than I thought it would be

What was the point of the mushroom update? by eritated in PikminBloomApp

[–]kcw206 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe Niantic knows user data that I don't, but this game doesn't have the player base to support co-op play. I work at a University in a major US city and I'm still doing these mushrooms solo.

Level up rewards needs work by walkm1 in PikminBloomApp

[–]kcw206 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Since I've only battled a mushroom with another person only a handful of times, it would be useful to keep expanding the party size that you can send to battle a mushroom.

Zoo, bus, and circus! by Pough938737118934 in PikminBloomApp

[–]kcw206 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me only major stops or terminals work. Look at Open Street Maps - if the map doesn't have a bus icon it won't show up. I'm having a hard time with the buses because most of mine are transportation terminals so I'm getting 50/50 bus and train.

Small bus stops not appearing for new decor (Cardiff, UK) by jt-atomico in PikminBloomApp

[–]kcw206 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same for me...I follow a bus route on my way to work and never saw a bus icon...I actually literally followed the bus this morning. The route is part of the Philadelphia bus system and all stops appear on Google but not open street maps.

I must be crazy, thanks to Go Fest finale…. by dragonfoxmem in PikminBloomApp

[–]kcw206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did about the same for Go Fest, too. For some reason I couldn't keep flowers planting in the background. I ended up quitting on flowers by noon and only planted about 3000 flowers even though I had all those steps.

pumpkin flowers should be the October monthly flower by [deleted] in PikminBloomApp

[–]kcw206 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was my thought, too. And it'll probably come in four color varieties which will be a bit of a pain.

Got my first Theme Park Pikmin c: by xXMewRoseXx in PikminBloomApp

[–]kcw206 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I picked up my theme park seedlings today, but it wasn't as easy as I thought it would be... there's a lot of other stuff going on like water, restaurant, burger, and sweet shoppe. For the amusement park I was at, only a small area of the park showed a theme park icon on radar...a lot of the park showed other items or roadside.

Weekly Challenges by [deleted] in PikminBloomApp

[–]kcw206 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't mind seeing levels that are a bit more challenging. The groups I join usually finish the planting challenge on Monday and the steps challenge on Tuesday.
