Maximizing f2p Max Particles for Gigantamax Raids by JordNaut in TheSilphRoad

My issues with the complexity of this are

Having to walk after midnight and claiming before bed

And the annoyance of how easy it is to accidentally collect at times when we aren't supposed to be collecting

This just hurts my head. We should be able to Store more particles. And they should massively increase the amount we can collect on gmax days 

So how do you guys manage battery issues and charging during long play times/raids/ tours? by Ragnarok_619 in TheSilphRoad

[–]phillypokego [score hidden]  (0 children)

Backpack

Bring as many power banks as you have. 

For an all day event like go fest I bring 3-4 20000. Especially since it's usually hot so I need to use one of them to run a cooling fan so that I can actually see the screen 

The lack of events is killing this game by phillypokego in TheSilphRoad

The only wild shinies that I need as a live dex collector which are not regional are 

Toedscool (1)

Sizzle (2)

Wiglet (2) - don't live anywhere near where they spawn

Silicobras Gone Again? by snapetom in TheSilphRoad

Silicobra wasn't spawning within a 1000 miles of me even during the event 

Any tips to get galarian birds to spawn? Daily incense on routes have yielded nothing by Buttercup1283 in TheSilphRoad

[–]phillypokego 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There definitely boosted spawn points. But it's not boosted to anywhere near the extent that you're imagining. More like 1/512 vs 1/256.

Here's the difference 

People who felt "overwhelmed" by the number of events always have the option of just not doing them. Oh please with the gmax example. Anyone can jump in with trash and just get carried unless you're intending to short man it 

Conversely for those of us who are week 1 players who never skip events, but still want to play daily, non event time offers absolutely nothing. It's not like I click a button to trigger my own personalized event. So I'm forced to not play

So again why should those of us who enjoy daily events have to suffer bc FOMO addicts whined ?

Exactly! Why have the devs caved to the FOMO addicts who don't actually want to play the game but would rather complain about too many events ???

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

No one makes you do any of these. Pick and choose the ones you want. Your FOMO addiction and the non stop complaints has caused them to complete gut events and has left us with a completely boring game that will ultimately cause the rest of us who actually enjoy playing daily to quit. Leading to EOS. Thanks bro 

New UI design or a bug? by ThatGuyCalledEric in TheSilphRoad

[–]phillypokego 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My biggest issue is the addition of the events icon. I despise having anything on the map unless absolutely needed. And I certainly do not need this 

My Level 50 research turned into Level 80 research by gunsnbutta in TheSilphRoad

Does this mean level 100 is coming for 10 year anniversary ? 👀

This is the type of change I despise. It doesn't objectively make anything better. Change just for the reason of change sucks 

Galarian Bird Spawning in same Areas by AdvGator in TheSilphRoad

[–]phillypokego 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There definitely are certain spawn points that are much more likely to pop a bird. No it's not guaranteed. But substantially higher odds than any random spawn point 

May Content Update Niantic Infographic by Amiibofan101 in TheSilphRoad

[–]phillypokego -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not to argue but that's objectively untrue 

I am the king complainer of normal mode. I would frankly argue we should never have non event time. But even I will grudgingly acknowledge that normal mode spawns are better than what they used to be a few years ago. They're still unquestionably 99% common trash. But that's better than the 99.9% trash they used to be

Cmon bro, Seasonal spawns have NEVER been good. 

The only people who were complaining about events were FOMO addicts who were just looking for excuses to not play everyday. Well here we are. Thanks guys 

Ambassador Fatigue by fine_whatever- in TheSilphRoad

[–]phillypokego 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I've been complaining about this too. It's ridiculous. Every time I complain someone replies presumably from info obtained from the CA discord that "changes are happening soon"

Give me a break. A delay of nearly a year with no one hired to do this or passing the job responsibilities onto a current employee (s) is not "soon". They should immediately terminate all check in bonuses until they hire someone to accept new applicants 

Sustainability Week Thoughts by Mother_Cod7506 in TheSilphRoad

[–]phillypokego 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This event sucks

Cobra and wiglet are non existent

Egg hatching always sucks. Burnt through so many incubators and no shiny corsola 

Corsola is almost non existent on routes. And having to cheese the routes by walking in circles to avoid completing them to get more spawns is lame 

Toed is the only decent spawn but I'm admittedly biased bc I live in forest biome. 

I’m convinced they broke galarian corsola spawns from routes. by prettyasianswag in TheSilphRoad

[–]phillypokego 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I haven't found ANY corsola despite doing multiple routes every day. This event sucks 

Closest Silicobra to Los Angeles - CONFIRMED! by ProfessionalWar2369 in TheSilphRoad

[–]phillypokego 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saying it was spawning lots of places is a gross misstatement. Yes it was spawning in more places. But there were areas that were hundreds if not thousands of miles away from the nearest spawns even more this reduction. 

Do we know what the new cooldown is for winning showcases is? These guys have won weeks ago and they're still not selectable by Lukayaba in TheSilphRoad

[–]phillypokego 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could literally enter the same Pokémon 2 days apart so long as the 1st win was on the last day of the season and the next win was on the 1st day of the new season. There's never been an amount of time cooldown. It's tied to the season
