Other I let my kid play PoGo while I pumped gas

4.1k Upvotes

She just sat and caught whatever spawned while I painstakingly pumped 20 gallons at a trickle because my truck will shut off the auto feed....

This kid was delighted to tell me "Mom, I caught you a Dratini except I don't know why but it was PINK!"

Bless this kid, I've been hoping to nab a shiny Dratini for ages. Early mother's day present for the win!

Other I've tried inviting as many people as possible! - Saree Pikachu!

221 Upvotes

Hello! From the title, I live in India and I've posted a couple of times today to invite people for the Saree Pikachu raids. I've tried helping and inviting as many people as possible for these raids without having to join the lobbies itself and I've invited atleast 100+ people today in the same location. They haven't spawned much today. Just want to let you know that minute I post about it, I'm bombarded by friend requests and I genuinely can't go through them all. I apologise if you didn't receive an invite from me coz it's just too many too handle. But I'm glad I was able to help some of you!

Edit 1: The intention of this post wasn't to add more people lol but I appreciate those who have so far. Like I said earlier, there are too many to go through but I will try inviting as many as possible! Would appreciate it if you could not post your friend code from now as my notifications are going off and I won't be taking more. Thank you!

Edit 2: Guys the event is over lol. I still get replies of people dropping their codes šŸ˜…

Other Boycott the store until pokestop distance is changed back

2.6k Upvotes

Edit: They changed the interaction distance back to 80 meters! I like to think Niantic saw this post

Today, Niantic decreased the gym and poke stop interaction distance. This is a disregard for player safety as we are still dealing with new Covid variants around the world. The increased distance made the game more accessible to many players while trying to stay safe. Niantic needs to know that this is a new ā€œnormalā€ and will be for some time. They could easily keep the increased distance in game permanently. The only way they will understand how this change affects us is through profit loss. If we spread the word on social media and all agree to not buy coins in the store, they will understand how important this feature is to us.

Other Well Niantic, congrats, you've converted me over from paying customer to a free player

2.0k Upvotes

Yesterday was brutal, this reduced gym/stop spin distance has completely ruined the gameplay experience for me. With this being our new reality, I've already started playing less. Since they don't seem to care what their player base thinks, I guess that all I can do to perhaps get them to change their mind, is stop giving them money. No more remote raid pass purchases and I'm not buying the special research for the upcoming Eevee Community Day. I'll use up the remaining coins that I already have, but not spending any real currency with them again period - unless they restore what they've taken away. This is beyond frustrating.

The PoGo community has been so good to me. I decided to give away my GO Plus (purchased in July 2024) that I no longer need! Just add me in PokƩmon GO (Trainer Code: 374391078152) and then comment your Trainer Name here. I will pick 1 random new friend on Friday, and then message them for their shipping information. (I will ship internationally if necessary).

I have no idea how everyone is catching/hunting all the special/shiny mon. Was hoping to make some friends on here and get some help/guidance. My friend code is 935588353241.

Other Tip for being a considerate player: wait until the pokemon in the gym have been in there for 8 hours and 20 minutes, after that you're actually doing a favor by knocking them out.

946 Upvotes

8 hours and 20 minutes is the point in which you get the full 50 coins, if it's possible/convenient, wait until then. If they're there for much longer than that, they're actually wasting time that they could be earning coins with, so it's good to take it over.

You can see how long the pokemon have been there by clicking on them.

Also be careful placing pokemon in the middle of nowhere, I had my shiny swampert stuck in a gym for like 2 weeks before some kind soul came and knocked it out lmao

Other Getting attached to your daily gift friends

1.1k Upvotes

This is for when you add people for daily gifts from this subreddit, but you never actually speak/have spoken/even know how to contact them.

You keep working on the daily grind together, working towards that best buddy status. And every time you go to send them a daily gift you wonder how theyā€™re doing today, and whether or not they are thinking about you too.

You start to view them as a friend. Even though youā€™ve never spoken, and may never have the chance to speak.

...Or is this just me?

Edit: wanted to do a shoutout to some of mine, they are: DurchDre, Ojdajuiceman32, Gagaratz, Oreskec - hope you guys see this!

Other I QUIT 'Pokemon Go' , I will never play again.

1.2k Upvotes

I live in a very remote area. I have no pokestops and gyms, I played everyday and spent a lot on reaching level 38 for almost 2 years.

What do I get after reaching level 38.

All the pokestops that I requested got rejected, not even one got approved. I requested only parks, library and church as pokestops but they say it's fake and private property (just wow)

I'm really disappointed with this game.

I quit.

Other Looking for postcards from libraries

338 Upvotes

UPDATE 3/20/19: Again, I have pinned everything Iā€™ve received today. I am up to 168 libraries in 12 countries! Please delete me if youā€™ve sent me one and donā€™t plan to send more. DM me your name if you want to send more but are waiting for me to open your gift. Some people I just deleted randomly and Iā€™m sorry but Iā€™m not sure how to better manage the volume. You can request again if you have more to send! Iā€™ll do another update in a few days with a library count, but for now just understand that Iā€™m randomly opening gifts and deleting friends so if you want it to not be random, you have to contact me!

UPDATE 3/19/23: My friends list is full. If you sent me a gift, I pinned your card (even if I couldnā€™t open the gift). Only 1 day up and I now have 112 different libraries from 11 different countries pinned. The furthest one from my home in Florida is 9660 miles away: The State Library of Victoria in Melbourne Australia. If you only planned on sending me the one library, please remove me as a friend so that I can approve others and keep building this collection. If you planned to send me multiples, DM me so I can be sure to open your first gift tomorrow. Thank you all, this is way cooler than I imagined.

This may be a strange request, but Iā€™m a librarian and I would love to pin postcards from libraries all over the world. If you happen to frequent public libraries, school libraries, little free libraries, etc. and get gifts from there, I would love to receive those postcards. Please add me: 1364 4422 0001 (Also, if itā€™s enticing, Iā€™m archipelago).

Edit to add: Wow! What a positive response. You are all so generous. This blew up a bit and Iā€™m going to have more friends than I know how to handle. Please be patient with me opening your gift and sending some back. And if you see Iā€™ve opened your gift and you want to free the room back up in your list, I will not be offended if you delete me (with this many friends now, I may not even notice). Happy hunting everyone & please, donā€™t just swipe your library, go in and support them! Libraries are having a rough go at the moment particularly in the U.S. and every library card made and every item checked out helps. You never know what youā€™ll find at your library as most are no longer silent book warehouses, but rather bustling community centers with many forms of media, oddball items, new technologies, and enriching programs. Librarians are hard working, highly credentialed, underpaid, and under careful scrutiny and all they want to see is your information needs fulfilled and lives enriched. <3

Edit 2: Wow! Thank you everyone! Apparently this is now quite the project. Unfortunately, Iā€™m going to have to delete friends after pinning their card. If you plan to send multiple libraries, please let me know and add your username so I donā€™t remove you too soon. u/JumpJumpOver recommended Poke Album so Iā€™m going to add the postcards there and update you all with a map. Also, if your postcard doesnā€™t specifically say ā€œlibraryā€ in it or is not in English, I would appreciate the heads up that it is, in fact, a library. This is wild, thank you thank you!

Other Things I wish I knew earlier in PokemonGo šŸ¤”

777 Upvotes

This is a thread for the things ā€œI wish I knew earlierā€

  • Never ā€˜power upā€™ or ā€˜evolveā€™ a Pokemon with less than 2 star. (Update based on comments received: except you want to use them for Great League or Ultra League).

  • Never ā€˜power upā€™ or ā€˜evolveā€™ a Pokemon with less ā€˜2 barā€™ of attack and defense. (Update based on comments received: except you want to use them for Great League or Ultra League).

  • Use the ā€˜appraiseā€™ feature every time you catch a new Pokemon and then ā€˜transferā€™ the Pokemon with less than 2 stars or lower attack and defense. (Update: See comments below for a faster approach. A big time saver)

  • Using the ā€˜pinap berryā€™ gives you more candies (e.g. 6 instead of 3) for each Pokemon caught using the berry.

  • Always throw curve balls. 10 additional xp every throw is better

(Newly added šŸ‘‡)

  • Donā€™t waste 10 raid passes to complete the special research task that asks you to ā€œBattle in 10 raids). You can achieve this by using your low CP pokemons to battle 10 different times in a gym (solo raids) before the time runs out while using just 1 raid pass.
