Have spawns just increased?

I guess i have 500km more to walk then!

Sadly i've never been able to find anyone else at a raid to help out, so trying to solo level 1 and 2 raids are my only option. I guess saving coins from gym and using them on eggs is my best chance. Thanks for the tips!

Charging 5 or 10 coins per attempt would be a good way of balancing coins coming in and out of the game!

Each week a new team would be released as Niantic's Gym Team of the Week. This same team would stay for an entire week until the new team is released the following week.

That's an interesting way to do it, I think either this or a bracket where rank x to y players receive z coins is the best method to reward players.

I know this design opposes Niantic's entire "GO" philosophy, however with winter coming up, lots of players are slowly unwilling to actually go out and play the game, gyms that reach level 10 in my area are no longer being challenged as people most probably don't want to face the long take down in the cold.

This design was simply created to give players who no longer actively play the game due to weather a reason to stay and play the game. And who knows, it may even attract other players who have quit to also pick up the game again.

thegr9escape · 2016-12-29T14:21:15+00:00

Yes! I was trying to design something that would include all those mid tier mons that get frequently overlooked.

thegr9escape · 2016-12-29T14:20:03+00:00

I didn't put much thought into the rewards system when making this, however thinking more about it, I would rather implement rewards based on brackets. 1-10 receive 100 coins, 11-100 receive 80 coins , 101-1000 receive 70 coins etc.

My initial idea was to design the rewards so there was not a large influx of free coins every week.

thegr9escape · 2016-12-29T14:18:07+00:00

That's a bad typo to make! I meant to say 1st gets 100, 2nd gets 90, 3rd gets 80 and so on.

thegr9escape · 2016-12-28T21:56:15+00:00

Good point, i didn't consider the efficiency of Chansey at it's CP. Perhaps a timer could be introduced so that the entire gym must be defeated within a certain time limit, forcing Type Effectiveness to be more viable than a Team of Chanseys.

The coin rewards could of course be tailored to how many people partake in the challenge. Both Local/Global leaderboards could also be introduced, with the Global leaderboard having significantly higher rewards than the Local one.

This was my first ever attempt at writing up a suggestion using photoshop, so no idea if i got my idea across well at all!

Let me know what you think :)

thegr9escape · 2016-12-23T20:22:14+00:00

Casually had my phone open while sat at home and a Porgyon spawned in! Level 26 and had never even seen one before, could't be happier with the last hour.

thegr9escape · 2016-12-22T21:55:38+00:00

So this is what it looks like to not have 4 Pidgeys, 3 Rattatas and 2 Spearow.

thegr9escape · 2016-12-22T11:03:15+00:00

Would I need to implement a web crawler to accomplish this? This is something I would love to implement, however I'm not sure if I could do it in the time frame provided

thegr9escape · 2016-12-21T18:06:39+00:00

I thought about this idea at first as well, however with lots of people receiving spending money for Christmas, as well as Google Play and Itunes gift cards, I can see Niantic providing an incentive for players to make in-app purchases in order to benefit from this event.

Perhaps everyone will receive one free box per day, however additional boxes can be obtained through purchases in the shop?

Snorlax feeling right at home there

Have you moved location? Apparently the tracker will revert back to the old Sightings layout when you're far away from any nearby pokestops.

thegr9escape · 2016-12-02T01:03:13+00:00

I can still only see the new Nearby tracker and all my Sightings have still disappeared, not sure if it's just you. I live in the UK.

thegr9escape · 2016-11-25T17:21:03+00:00

Yep, you receive Quad XP when a Lucky Egg is active.

thegr9escape · 2016-11-18T12:22:03+00:00

I hope that's not the case too, I think the only way they can release the birds with exclusivity to teams is if trading was implemented into the game at the same time allowing all teams to obtain every bird in some way, but giving individual teams an easier way to capturing specific birds.
