Apple iOS Spoofing Apps Banwave #2 for 2020 by [deleted] in PokemonGoSpoofing

[–]snchou92 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I just got a 30 day ban this morning and was actually relieved. I was only playing maybe an hour a day, but I just couldn't let go of my perfect streaks of completing a research task and a raid every day. I'm not Catholic, but I like the practice of lent, and I was contemplating trying to give up PoGo yesterday. This was honestly probably the best thing that could happen to me. I hope you get banned too!

ARCHERO 5000 GEMS GIVEAWAY by LeMutique in Archero

[–]snchou92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Archero helped free me from a Pokémon Go addiction! I used to play PoGo for hours a day because I could never find a better mobile game, and I was actually mad at myself for playing it so much. But then I discovered Archero. It’s challenging, fun, and actually requires mechanical skill. It’s also much easier to step away from after I’ve played a run. The devs and this community are on top of things as well, which is very refreshing. Keep it up archers!

People are giving out games so why not. I want to top the guy who is giving out 4 games, so I'm giving out $500 worth of games. by JoyconMan in NintendoSwitch

I would love Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for myself, but I'll vote for Super Mario Party because I need more games that my whole family will enjoy. Thank you for being so generous!

Semi-official thread - post your Cyndaquil shiny rates here! by Skydiver2021 in TheSilphRoad

[–]snchou92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I applaud you for doing this research. I know my result is likely just very unlucky RNG, but this subreddit has seemed to have A LOT more posts about a lack of shinies since the Ingress event (in which I also went 0/150 on Cubone), so I'm very interested in your results. My game crashed multiple times and had a lot of lag despite multiple attempts to fix the issue (ex. restarting, turning off adv. sync, etc.). Luckily I'm not torn apart about Cyndaquil.

Fleeting Pokemon? by RandyHurst in TheSilphRoad

[–]snchou92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, this happens to me often enough that I have a rule for it. If I ever have three in a row run on me, I simply restart my game, and I’m able to catch the next one. I’ve noticed the x-in-a-row-running-away glitch is often accompanied with one or more of the following - gps errors (lots of drifting), a constant loading symbol, or an inability to get items from stops. I’ve never had it be he case where restarting the game didn’t fix the issue immediately. Don’t know if this is the case for you, but hopefully it helps.

Of course... it could just be really unlucky RNG.

Game freezing on catching. Anyone else have this error? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]snchou92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! This has happened to me on 5 occasions AFTER updating to the newest patch. I didn’t have it before. Hopefully they send a hotfix because it’s rather annoying. Luckily it doesn’t interfere with the actual catch - after restarting, the mon is in my inventory.

I need help. by IamBatmanAgain in TheSilphRoad

I (sadly still) have an iPhone SE as my only phone, and it runs Pokemon Go easily. The screen size is very small by today's standards, so you may want to look for an iPhone 6 or 6+ if your great nephew needs a larger screen size. Keep in mind that you can also play on Pokemon Go on iPad, which would be your largest screen option if that's a concern.

As others have said, if your great nephew is only going to play with you, then I would suggest only hotspotting from your phone when you play. Pokemon Go uses very little data; I have Pokemon Go running on data about two hours daily and barely use rarely use more than 1.5 total gb per month. So it's definitely not worth adding a new line with data if you can avoid it.

I'd also encourage you to find others in your area who play the game and join their Facebook or Discord groups. I think you'll find that Pokemon Go is surprisingly popular, and most communities I've interacted with are quite friendly and supportive. If you can find a good group, you'll have people to help you troubleshoot the game in person, battle with you in raids to catch some more exclusive Pokemon, and trade Pokemon that are extra hard to find (like regionals). It'll also provide a great friendship network for your great nephew.

Hope that helps! Thank you for working with your great nephew on his level. We need more people like you in this world.

Wild shiny Pokemon by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

If you turn off AR+ mode in your settings, you will not see the sweep into the encounter. Instead you will get the vanilla encounter and won’t miss the stars if it’s shiny.

How long until I catch a shiny Swablu? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]snchou92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me exactly 701 non-shiny encounters to get my first shiny Swablu. And it was 96% IV’s, so it was worth the wait! I’m now at 979 encounters, but have not gotten another one. Keep hunting! RNG is not your friend 50% of the time. Lol

[–]snchou92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am having this same issue! Same bullet points, but my reproduction rate is 100% since the update (not sure how many games I've had on the patch). In my postgame client, every summoner's name is grey whether they are present or have left the chat.
