[Bugs] After dodging a deadly attack, pokémon is not dead but is unusable

Posted: 03 May 2017 08:20 AM PDT

This happened to me at least 9 times out of 10 trying to train this gym. Rememebering we now have verified Niantic presence in pokemongo subreddit (/u/NianticGeorge and /u/NianticIndigo), I decided to record the bug, knowing it is well known, but hoping I can help fixing it.

https://youtu.be/LGJZ6jxcRlM

It's a quite annoying bug, expecially when you get really close to defeat enemy pokémon but available time ends and you lost so much because of the bug. I play the game in italian, but think the video will be self explanatory anyway.

Just want to highlight the fact that after the gym battle, pokémons that successfully dodged a deadly attack does not need to be revived and still has lots of HP, but can't be used no more during the battle.

Promo Codes FAQ - Pokemon Go's new Promo Codes are just PoGo's version of Ingress's Passcodes. I'm an ingress player who knows a lot about Ingress Passcodes. I've made a little FAQ. If there's anything I missed AMA.

Posted: 03 May 2017 12:19 PM PDT

Just a little background info about me to give me some credibility, I've been a semi casual player, but hardcore fan of Niantic/Ingress/Pokemon Go since I first discovered their company a few weeks before Ingress launched back in 2012.

How do passcodes/promo codes work?

Passcodes/promo codes are short strings of characters like you'd expect any normal promo code to be. Just like most online promo codes some are unlimited use, some expire at a certain date, and some never expire, but have a limited amount of people that can redeem them. They're always single use per person, but can range from 1 person use, to millions of people use, to being completely unlimited the amount of people who can use them. You type in the code, hit okay/redeem/whatever and the game gives you items for free just like you just spun a pokestop and got them.

What kinds of stuff do you get if you redeem a passcode/promo code?

What you can get from passcodes ranges a lot. It could be just common everyday items (think one normal pokestop spin worth of stuff), to an entire load out of gear (In ingress this is 20-40 weapons, 20-40 resonators, 10-20 shields, etc. This probably can translate into pogo like 20-40 ultra balls, 20-40 max potions, and 10-20 of each berry. Something like that).

It's also used for special events. Not like any event we've seen so far, but [like real world events.] By attending this special event you sometimes get a card with a special code you can redeem [special medals] that can only be obtained through these events. Sometimes at these special events you can also buy merch packs may have a loadout code, or other super rare codes.

Quick aside: If they can fix the iOS promo code problem, This I think is how Niantic should implement legendaries. At check-in at the event each trainer gets a one time use promo code card that can trigger the spawning of the event's legendary. Any trainer that redeems this code, who doesn't physically check in gets flagged as a potential cheater for follow-up inspection

Where do passcodes/promo Codes come from? How do we get them?

In addition to what I mentioned in the previous answer (being handed out on physical cards at real world events) They mostly come from their social network pages. Sometimes partially hidden in pictures they share, sometimes completely encoded some way, sometimes sent out as PMs to users to reward users who interact in the community socially, like people who post fan art, or pictures of them playing at community events, or respond to the "What was your favorite AR picture this weekend" kind of posts. Other times they're just out completely in the open as like a signature to their posts. [In ingress they also have a partnership with Hint Water where you would get passcodes under the cap like a My Coke Rewards kind of thing]. The contents of those passcodes were always small, and they were normal items, never premium items. They were essentially a pokestop spin worth of random gear in a code.

What happens if I try to redeem a passcode/promo code with a full inventory?

It will give you an error saying your inventory is full, and much like a pokestop spin, it will error before consuming the code. So you can still trash some of your unneeded gear, get at least one empty slot, and redeem the code again for the gear. If the code is worth more than one item it will work just like a pokestop spin, it will allow you to go over the inventory cap, but you won't be able to spin pokestops or redeem any more codes until you're back below the inventory cap.

What countries will get them? Will this just be a Japan/USA/othercountry thing?

There is not any country restriction for passcode redemption. The closest thing to a restriction is not being in a region where they are being physically given out. But as I mentioned in the 3rd answer above, a majority of codes are given out online, the sponsorship partner codes are a minority and are never anything game changing that you'll really be missing out on.

What if I'm an iPhone user? Why is it only Android devices?

Apple has strict rules about/against Promo Codes. Presumably to prevent app devs to use them to circumvent apple's 30%(?) tax on all IAPs. When Niantic released Ingress on android it had passcode redemption on it from day one. A year later when Ingress launched on iOS they couldn't add that passcode feature because of apple's restrictions. Months later after trying to get apple to approve the passcode redemption feature they managed to get apple to allow them to add passcode redemption outside the app on their [website/intel map]. It's a safe bet that this negotiation process has already started with Apple for PoGo and they'll get a solution for iOS users before anything important is used with Promo Codes.

Are there any promo codes yet?

Not that we're aware of. If you discover one be sure to share it with us.

Can you be banned by trying to brute force guess promo codes? As in guessing random things as promo codes until something works?

In ingress I've never seen anyone banned, but there is a cooldown. If you try and fail to guess codes you'll stop being able to even try to redeem any for a while. This also applies to successfully redeeming passcodes. If you just start bulk redeeming a bunch of passcodes (even valid ones) it will eventually stop you from trying, giving a cooldown error, and you won't be able to redeem any other codes for a while.

Did I miss anything else? Feel free to ask anything else you may want to know about promo codes. If I can't answer them, maybe someone else reading can.

[idea] thoughts on a potential "friend" system

Posted: 03 May 2017 05:58 PM PDT

So, this is my first post ever on Reddit, so pardon me if I don't have this down to an exact science. I have been mulling this idea over for the past week now and test ran it by some friends who all thought it was a decent idea.

Here's what I have been thinking. I believe, with time, we will eventually have some sort of friend system incorporated into the game. My hopes is that you will only be able to add friends based on proximity to the person. Sort of like a Pokestop, you would have to be near that person to add them to your "book" of friends.

Now, within this "book" I think it would be cool if you could browse your friends and peek at their journals to see what they've been up to. You would also be able to view or visit their currently assigned buddy Pokémon. The other thing with this that I think is the real kicker is that you would able to feed your friend's buddy Pokémon one of your berries, once a day. I figure that 10 berries would equal a candy.

Now, stimulate Niantic's economy, I figure they would allow you to start off with roughly 20 friends. You could expand your friend book the same way you expand your box and bag storage in the shop. Maxing your friend list at 100 friends for a potential of 10 candies a day from your buddy Pokémon.

Everyday you would be able to collect your buddy Pokémon'a candy the same as you would collect your daily coins from gyms.

Do you think this is something that would be viable or have potential?

[Complaint] Is there an actual reason why Granbull, Houndoom, and Murkrow have catch rates like they're Legendary status?

Posted: 03 May 2017 08:22 PM PDT

Murkrow we all know is a joke.
Against a 1300 Granbull, I straight up gave up after 10 berries + great balls + curved great throws.
And my new favorite: With a silver dark medal, a LEVEL FREAKIN' THREE (171 CP) Houndoom took me 31 red balls. 27 curved hits, 25 of those were great throws. Level 3.
 
Some of these random weak 'mons are harder to catch than a legendary should be for no god damn reason.

Which Pokemon of yours did you have to work the hardest for?

Posted: 03 May 2017 07:48 AM PDT

For me, it'd be my Muk as I had to walk my Grimer from 3 candies to 50 just so that I can evolve it and that too, it was a poor 200 CP, so not even a usable Muk at the end of the day. What about you?

Evolution Items I've gotten in my last 2000 Pokestops.

Posted: 03 May 2017 10:56 AM PDT

I'm not sure if anyone is collecting this data but I thought I should share. In my last 2000 pokestop visits, I've gotten 4 Kings Rock, 4 Sun Stones, 3 Dragon Scale, 2 Up-Grades, and 1 Metal Coat. So I'm averaging 1 evolution item every 143 pokestops.

Everyone complaining about Pineco - here I am ecstatic I caught my first one last night

Posted: 03 May 2017 10:09 AM PDT

http://imgur.com/a/eq5zS

Combo of story / screenshot / complaint. I have played the game every single day (more or less), walking and hatching eggs is probably my main source of Dex entries due to being rural.

The last 10km egg that I hatched was a Pinsir on December 29th. I have yet to encounter another 10km egg since then, which includes the entirety of the release of the Gen2 Pokemon.

I fully supported moving Pineco from 10km to 5km, but only because I wanted to get one and 8 out of every 10 eggs I get is a 5k, while the other 2 are 2km.

Assuming this 5 month streak continues, I'll be walking Pineco to get enough to evolve it (after I finish walking the 6 or 7 Gen1 Pokemon I need candy for).

I was SO EXCITED to finally catch this lil guy that everyone has complained about, I figured it would be worth sharing!
