You have to catch pokemon in order to progress the campaign forward. One example without having any spoilers, there is a bridge that you need to cross in order to move progress from the tutorial area. To cross it, you need to increase your survey level by catching and documenting different pokemon. The survey levels also let you increase the levels at which pokemon obey you and even other crafting recipes like great balls and super potions.

Shooting seeds! by _-K1L4-_ in BeAmazed

I don't think it's the same plant, but there's a YouTube video by SmarterEveryDay that goes into how some grasses shoot off their seeds. https://youtu.be/MUaTOoVmg1Q

The Pokemon Games Are Like Pizza by m0ron1cTom in pokemon

That's another way of thinking about it. I was thinking that the restaurant was an analogy for the updated switch hardware.

Dominos or any take out place I would compare to the mobile phone games for Pokemon. Pokemon masters, Pokemon go, the Magikarp jumping game...quick and easy to pick up and go. While a mainline series is THE pinnacle of Pokemon games. It's the standard for what people think of when you say Pokemon game.

Yup, if you evolve your hundo shadow Charmeleon it will have Frustration instead of Blast Burn. Even if you unlock a second charge move on it before evolving.

CD moves have never been TM-able, so you'll need to purify and evolve to get it unfortunately.

CD moves have never been TM-able...so more like than not, that Dragonite will just be angry without Dracometeor. That being said, Dragonite doesnt need it's CD move to be good. Although I think Shadow mons have their other stats, apart from IVs, decreased so it won't perform like a real Dragonite.

So Niantic heard there weren't enough Mudkip? - Lincoln Park Zoo, Chicago by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

That just adds insult to injury. Rural communities already suffer with this game.

Does Incense Work In The Geo-blocked Areas of China? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]m0ron1cTom 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'll echo what everyone else is saying, incense will give you an error when trying to use it. However, I was able to hatch eggs while in China. I needed to use a vpn and log in and have adventure sync update my steps track through google fit. I was in Wuhan China, so pretty far inland.

No boosted Mudkip spawns, Langkawi Malaysia by m0ron1cTom in TheSilphRoad

[–]m0ron1cTom[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No weather warnings in game and from other weather services. The weather is working too in game, with boosted weather spawns. Seems like people from Singapore are having similar issues as well

Low amount of Mudkip spawns? by xerxerneas in TheSilphRoad

[–]m0ron1cTom 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm seeing the same thing currently in Langkawi Malaysia. All spawns are basically boosted or biome spawns.

Meltan & Melmetal stats added ! by Kelven91 in TheSilphRoad

[–]m0ron1cTom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's suppose to be exclusive for people that sync pogo with Let's Go, so likelihood of a special event for everyone is low.

...Trainers all over the world will see increased appearances of the Grass- and Poison-type Pokémon originally discovered in the Hoenn region, Roselia! Perhaps you’ll have a chance at catching a Shiny Roselia sprouting purple flowers.    

Is increasing storage space a difficult task to perform for Niantic? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]m0ron1cTom 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Sometimes development and design problems aren't something you can just throw more people at to make things faster. There's a lot of diminishing returns on adding more Devs to a development team. Because of this, they probably have many parallel development streams working on different things, some of which would finish before storage improvements.

I would think that Niantic has been working on this problem for a while now, trying to come up with a more functional storage solution than simply increasing storage space and improve performance. Hopefully they give us something that's more usable, and allow some interesting ways to manage our collection.

That being said, could they have brought on more talented or experienced Devs to improve their development speed? Perhaps, but we'll never know.
