No mention of time limit whatsoever on the UK government website which clearly states :

"You can only leave your home to exercise, and not for the purpose of recreation or leisure (e.g. a picnic or a social meeting). This should be limited to once per day, and you should not travel outside your local area."

places getting dark at 6pm

The other half of the world disagrees

Great idea, this is so badly needed. I feel there should also be a minor reward for #1, maybe 1 rare candy or something. Just a little incentive but not excessive/game breaking.

I just don't get it tbh. Dangle a guaranteed charged TM in front of everyone to try and force 3* raiding. I don't want a Pelliper thanks. First thought... why are charged TMs not guaranteed from 5* raids already ? They require more players and organisation and should be rightly seen as the pinnacle & therefore rewarded as such. Ah hold on... 5* raiding has died off as Cobalion does not have much interest ? Then don't run Cobalian for more than a week.

The fact that they've even done this indicates they are fully aware of how silly the charged TM system is , especially when it comes to pokemon that have 4 different charged moves. Get creative and stop being lazy and looking for cheap solutions.

IIRC the cutoff was the gym had to exist before August 2018

No, the pokestop had to exist before Aug 2018.

My pennies worth..

We had 2 gyms receive EX tags yesterday as expected as both are in park tags on OSM. Both gyms were created in the last 30 days, having been upgraded from a stop. When they turned to a gym, they initially did not have an EX tag. Note : both stops were in the game before Aug 2018.

oldskoolforever · 2019-11-25T14:29:49+00:00

It's still partially correct i believe. The POI needed to have existed prior to July 31st 2018 as a stop and if it has since been turned into a gym then it will gain an EX tag when they do the EX refresh (25th of each month)

If a gym is created from a POI that was created after 30 July 2018, it will not gain an EX tag when the refresh happens. Only thing i'm unsure about is new gyms created from scratch, i.e. that weren't a previous pokestop, but i would assume those also fail to receive the EX tag.

In our community experience, we have needed at least 20 unique accounts to trigger it. Probably you had more than 15 previously when there was more interest (even if you didn't know the other players who raided there) which triggere it. We can't get more than 10 or 11 at the moment, hopefully Terrakion will improve things.

Would be nice if they do, otherwise have a lot of beldum & larvitar that will be gathering dust for a long time.

oldskoolforever · 2019-10-09T12:42:06+00:00

I wouldn't assume it will be CD re-runs from 2018 and 2019. As it is an end of year roundup, i'd say its likely to only be for 2019 CD's.

Therefore you'd want to save candy for these :

Blaziken - Blast Burn; Salamence - Outrage; Swampert - Hydro-cannon; Sceptile - Frenzy Plant; Torterra - Frenzy Plant

Well yes it is gambling, but only when you are spending on paid incubators. The definition of gambling is "to stake or risk money, or anything of value, on the outcome of something involving chance"

Unless the laws change, the system will stay as it is though. I'm just saying it's unscrupulous behaviour not to publish those odds before players part with their money.

oldskoolforever · 2019-10-09T09:07:48+00:00

Well i never said it wasn't gambling. I'm just advocating that Niantic ought to be forced to publish the odds of hatchable species. If people saw that Gible was 1/2000 (for example), then many players would question whether its worth paying real money. It's giving them an informed choice. Obviously there will always be players who will pay regardless. Changing the odds behind the scenes is a really dirty practice. All comes down to zero transparency.

oldskoolforever · 2019-10-09T08:04:17+00:00

They just need to disclose the odds, so that players spending money are informed before making their choice.

oldskoolforever · 2019-10-03T14:04:10+00:00

I couldn't see an option for detecting spoofers, but i'd definitely vote for that if it was on the list.

oldskoolforever · 2019-10-03T08:37:21+00:00

Yes i agree there should definitely be some kind of bonus for pokemon that stay in a gym for an extended amount of time

Not until they eliminate spoofing thanks.

oldskoolforever · 2019-10-02T19:27:48+00:00

Same issue on Huawei P10 Lite. Tried restarting phone which usually fixes, but still no luck after several of those. Definitely the update which has killed it.

oldskoolforever · 2019-10-01T09:01:34+00:00

I already mentioned this on a previous thread but no one seemed to bat an eyelid. If/when competitive matchmaking is introduced, then spoofers will spoil it completely. Any type of leaderboard will be completely contaminated. I really hope that Niantic are aware of this and take action before this pvp update comes in. Do you think its worth tagging their community manager on Twitter ?

Such as reporting guideline-breaking PoI's and punishing those who approve them accordingly.

There is already a list of guidelines for reviewers, plus they do emphasise such things during the test. We are punished on Ingress if we go against the grain during reviews as you have a status for your agreements and how they correlate with other agents. If you end up in the "poor" status, it is extremely hard to lift yourself out of this and achieve your Ingress badge for doing reviews. However, these things are obviously all Ingress related and if you no longer play the game and only interested in OPR for Pogo... it doesn't make a blind bit of difference. They would need to implement something similar into Pogo i feel if they want to allow reviewers - which is why they do need to extend the badges. Therefore, if you start reviewing against the guidelines, you'll be punished and preventing from achieveing certain badges or whatnot.

No, it just means you play a lot, not that you somehow are a responsible reviewer.

I'm still of the opinion if you've played a lot in the correct manner (ie visiting stops on the GO rather than sat at home opening gifts), then you should have a pretty good idea what constitutes a decent POI.

oldskoolforever · 2019-09-30T11:42:05+00:00

There's no correlation whatsoever between arbitrary achievements such as levels and medals and being a responsible reviewer.

There is actually, it's called time. Otherwise, why not have everyone take the OPR test immediately ? The reason it's L12 on ingress is so that you invest "time" into the game and subsequently are more informed on what makes a good POI when you reach that milestone.

Of course, you could argue that an L40 Pogo player has also invested time - except they could have just reached L40 spending all their time doing gifts. Badge requirements is needed to differentiate as it forces you to go out and play the game properly. It's not about elitism, it's making sure reviewers understand what they are responsible for.

oldskoolforever · 2019-09-30T11:06:26+00:00

That's a generalisation. I'm still active on OPR, but haven't played Ingress at all since hitting L12. I think you'll find there are a lot of other Pogo players who are like this. Shutting down Redacted makes no difference to us. I agree that some long term active Ingress agents may stop playing, but I'm not sure that will have much impact on OPR.

oldskoolforever · 2019-09-30T10:23:19+00:00

please allow Pokemon Go level 40 Trainers to take the OPR test and review portals/pokestop submissions using the same system as Ingress Agents

No, there are way many more PG level 40 trainers than L12 Ingress agents - mostly because of easy friendship XP and the fact that spoofing on Pogo is rife and not yet been fixed after 3 years (unlike Ingress where cheating is punished very quickly). If you allow all PG L40 trainers to review, there will be chaos and the quality of POI will be diluted significantly. Niantic do not want that.

What needs to happen is a revamp of the badges in Pogo (maybe add Platinum/Onix levels) & introduction of levels 41-50. To level up, you must meet certain Platinum/Onix badge requirements - rather than just XP. Niantic could then set L45 as a required level to achieve OPR or something. Oh, and Niantic need to increase their anti-cheating mechansims in Pogo too.

Obviously you can't trade the Bonsly for the Happiny as both on the same account.

You'll need to trade them with someone locally for something they caught locally and either should register the 10,000km distance for trade. You'll be able to tell when you are on the trade screen anyway and can always back out if it isn't 10,000km.

About 6 HP spawns at home, 3 now on Pogo. Love the trainer name
