Raptorpat Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 How rare is kecleon? I saw one at the airport two weeks ago that I whiffed and it ran away, and I haven't seen one since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viperxmns Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 pretty rare, at the beginning they spawned at a stop for 2 hours at a time but now they cut it to 1 hour while not making them any more common than they were Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raptorpat Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 yeah lightning gotta strike twice, first to trigger the encounter and then again to overcome the catch rate feels a bit like a chore tbh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viperxmns Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 it's really stupid, I know someone who had a level one bird even run on them catching them is literally random some have speculated that tossing pokeballs makes them easier to catch since legendaries are supposed to get 'easier to catch' in a raid the fewer balls you have left but also seems kinda anecdotal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1pooh4u Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 Tbh I haven’t played as much and I missed out on a ton of stuff cuz the things Niantic does makes no damn sense. I didn’t buy any of the special research or anything. I’ve only used the daily incense 20 times and the 20th one I encountered Articuno. I seen people catch garbage legendary birds from the DI. It’s so messed up to make the encounter so rare and the catch rate so low only to give players garbage. At least in raids there is a bottom to how low the ivs can be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptorpat Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Yeah I think anything mirroring the ongoing research event from last season is paywalled. They may be at a point where they're doubling down on whales to maintain their profits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viperxmns Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 yea I didn't buy Keldeo, I mean are they gonna have everyone pay again for a shiny one or would people who got the original one not have to pay again will likely end up throwing 5 dollars at them for the guaranteed shiny Jirachi, the paid shinies I expect beyond the 'free taste' that was Celebi still waiting for free Shaymin heard their profits were down compared to previous years, makes me wonder if all the shitty boxes in the shop really didnt help matters, whales gonna buy good boxes moreso than bad ones amirite 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1pooh4u Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 During the pandemic they made plenty of $$$ they got greedy and lost revenue as a result. Not to mention they added actual features that engaged more people, and didn’t listen to players when they complained. The only thing they changed because of complaints was pokéstop and gym distance interaction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptorpat Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 That's probably why they added the daily adventure incense with the birds - probably half their revenue comes from the location data and they're desperate to get people walking after all the covid accomodations people rages about them trying to undo. Speaking of which: false hope bird encounter #2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raptorpat Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I found another one on the walk to my car. Weird to go months with nothing and then see two practically in a row.

Raptorpat Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Just hit level 41. Took 13 months of mostly daily minimal playing.

1pooh4u Posted February 19, 2023 Author Share Posted February 19, 2023 What do you get with the codes? been reading nothing but complaints about the event in Vegas. Ofc Niantic tells a different story but people couldn’t log in and those with Bluetooth devices had issues too.

viperxmns Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 the codes give an encounter for each regi, just have to do an excellent throw and like 3 field research tasks fuckups during live events is so par for the course for them, non live events too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omfg that’s pathetic I wonder if they ever considered sunsetting the game since they really don’t care or rush to fix issues? I’m still dealing with bugs that have been existing for years some from the beginning there is still an issue with raids if you dodge and faint anyway. Your next Pokémon is like invisible or some shit and the issue if your Pokémon has 2 charge attacks you watch the meters fill and drop randomly so you never know when you can use the charge attack.

1pooh4u Posted February 21, 2023 Author Share Posted February 21, 2023 And the major nerfing of raiders using remote passes is so unnecessary. It’s way too much it took so long for me 6 people to take down Regirock it was ridiculous. Sometimes I use pokegenie to do raids cuz I’m not in Manhattan where raids are full all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1pooh4u Posted February 21, 2023 Author Share Posted February 21, 2023 I might go back to candy crush that game will never get sunset 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptorpat Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 A game that is sunsetting is the original 3DS version of Pokemon Shuffle, when Nintendo shuts down their servers for all the 3DS content in a couple months. It's a candy crush clone that slightly predates Pokemon Go and their first freemium mobile game. I probably sunk 800+ hours into it since it launched and in December I finally 100% the game without dropping a dime. It was admittedly anticlimactic and the sunk-cost fallacy is real, and the lesson to be learned is to just never start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viperxmns Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 isn't Pogo still niantic's best source of income? None of their other recent forays have caught on the same way as far as I know. but they don't seem all that interested in actually improving the ways the game brings in money Candy crush has been my pooping game for so long now it's kinda crazy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1pooh4u Posted February 22, 2023 Author Share Posted February 22, 2023 Next Gen sunsetted one of their walking dead games TWD our world.

Raptorpat Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 I whiffed this event. I didn't realize I had to finish the primal rumblings task to unlock more challenges for the event (that I didn't really know was going to be happening). I logged on and there were the groudon/kyogre raids so I used all my coins on four remote raid passes and then I finished the challenge and it's like "catch a groudon!"

1pooh4u Posted April 9, 2023 Author Share Posted April 9, 2023 Yeah a lot of people uninstalled the game it was very unnecessary to almost double the price of remote raids and to limit how many you can do. Poke genie is also fucked cuz people are having a hard time hosting raids now. Niantic wants the game how they envision but covid totally changed that. Events where you can’t raid remotely is fine but what they did in addition was just dumb. The changes made the game more accessible to rural players and people with mobility issues. Sucks what they’re doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1pooh4u Posted April 9, 2023 Author Share Posted April 9, 2023 It really pisses me off that they raise the prices of intangible things. It’s all just code. There are no materials per se that increase the costs of what they create. The only thing is salary and there gotta be more creative ways than raising prices to make up for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
