DEAR NIANTIC - ideas and suggestions for the devs

Posted: 20 Aug 2018 11:36 AM PDT

Hey Niantic! You guys made a game we all have a lot of feelings about...and this is our spot to express those feelings and make some statements about ways we think the game could be even better for us - and by extension, you!

If you want to complain about the game in a less constructive way please do so in the Salty Sunday - Rage Rants and complaints thread.

Here you will find ideas and suggestions - a mix of the positive posts and constructive criticism that reddit's Pokemon Go community have compiled and discussed and up/downvoted by importance and validity for us all. If there's one post on /r/pokemongo you guys should be paying attention to, it's this one, so please do.


Hey /r/PokemonGo Trainers! This recurring monthly post is for you guys. Sort posts by "top" to see what has been voted most important so far, but consider sorting by "new" as well to weigh in on the most recent ideas!

[Complaint] It’s Been Over a Year Now Niantic. Why Can’t We Skip the Raid Timer/Countdown

Posted: 20 Aug 2018 02:49 PM PDT

This is a feature request that gets brought up all the time. We desperately need a button that allows us to skip the countdown for when a raid starts.

If you do a solo raid once a day, then you waste an hour per month just on the countdown screen. Does Niantic have a good reason for not implementing a skip button?

Please don't reset sound settings every time you log out

Posted: 20 Aug 2018 01:41 AM PDT

Every time I am a Co-Driver in a car and need to switch accounts on the phone in Pokemon because I have to catch Magicarps for my driving girlfriend, the music and sound effects are turned on again, which is a pain in the ass when you're blasting your fire mixtape through the car's USB and it mixes up with Pokemon's tunes.

I don't get why these settings are being reset when switching accounts?!

/Edit: I forgot to mention that there is no option at all to disable or stop the music as long as you're not logged in either.

[Complaint] The new animation when starting encounter's is making me motion sick

Posted: 20 Aug 2018 03:45 PM PDT

Since the update the screen does a little twirl to reveal the pokemon. While a seemingly good flair, it is giving me wicked motion sickness and nausea.. can we turn it off as an option?

Edit: AR+ is off. This is

TLDR; I don't want to Chun while out on a run

Edit 2: on Android. Guess I'll be feeling like Spinda until they push an update

My friend caught a weird Natu and decided to evolve it.

As you can see something turned out to be quite... odd. I think it is because he didn't close the game yet but the model got an update.

Anyways it looks funny and thought I could share it here.

Edit: Ok it seems like these problems are everywhere. But it still looks funny.

[IDEA] "Subscribe" to local gyms for Raids. Get an alert to say people are there

Posted: 20 Aug 2018 02:49 AM PDT

Our local Discord is amazing at organising raids and letting others know what raids are around. However, this requires people to be looking at the Discord.

It would be awesome if there was a way to receive an alert for local gyms in our vicinity that have people waiting to take it down. This means we can know there are a few people there for a level 5 raid.

I would still love to eventually see some kind of raid map get introduced into the game

Posted: 20 Aug 2018 09:01 AM PDT

My local community makes raiding work by having players reporting when raids are going on. However, I found it easier to do raids in the past when we would be able to know when raids were going on or were going to happen in our local area. I would love some kind of feature that would allow us to see when raids were going on even if it is a small improvement.

Updated to the new version, got slapped with a first strike warning. Thanks Niantic.

Posted: 20 Aug 2018 10:34 AM PDT

https://imgur.com/a/lfuIdkn

So the title above. People here might not believe me but I have not used any spoofing app nor used any IV checker. So I cannot understand how the heck I am getting this. I submitted a ticket to Niantic but I am expecting that they will just reply with the same generic email. How can a broken system like this gets implemented?

(I don't know if you guys would remember but I was the one who posted the Articuno shot from Mt. Pilatus during my trip around Europe. Niantic also slapped me with a red warning a few days after that 30day trip.)

Sorry if this came off like a rant. It's just that I don't understand why this happens on my account. I don't know what their system is detecting from my phone/account.

EDIT: corrected broken link and some grammar.

UPDATE: 630am PH time. So my brother finally wokeup. He said he previously rooted the phone to install an older patch of Android and to reactivate the "backup while charging only" function for Google Photos. But he said explicitly remembers having it unrooted afterwards. I tried lookinh for a magisk folder but couldn't find any. So I am going to ask a friend who knows a thing or two about samsung and android phones to scour the whole file system to check for any dubious app or folder that may be causing the flag. I don't want to do it myself coz I'm a bit worried I might break the phone. Lol. But until then RIP celebi quest. :(

Niantic support just sent their generic reply of just follow the TOS so I think there's no hope of help from them.

Thanks to /u/FinalGary, /u/BiggestofBears, /u/DarkGamer000, and /u/ThanatosSelisen and the others I failed to mention for giving ideas on what to check. You're much more helpful than Niantic Support. I hope I could figure this one out.

[Discussion] Anyone else suddenly need new friends? (friend info trade off)

Posted: 20 Aug 2018 05:07 PM PDT

Here's my idea: (1) Put a "here" down as a comment. (2) PM your friend info to the three people who said "here" before you did. (3) Add them as friends in 'go. Let's see if this can work!

Johoto Festival Research

Posted: 20 Aug 2018 01:41 PM PDT

So it seems like are now getting research quests that seem to reward pokemon. Of course these can be semi-difficult/tedious and/or resource draining. Wouldn't it be nice to know what you are going to get out of it before you waist your time? I'm currently woking on "Johto Festival: Evolve 3 Sunkern or Natu".

Here are some that we know of from the data mine:

  • Johto Festival: Evolve {0} Sunkern or Natu
  • Johto Festival: Make {0} Excellent Throws
  • Johto Festival: Catch {0} Water Pokémon
  • Johto Festival: Win a raid
  • Johto Festival: Catch {0} Sunkern
  • Johto Festival: Make {0} Great Curveball

So if you get one of these, let us know! I'll try and update it with what we learn.

-

Edit:

  • Johto Festival: Evolve 3 Sunkern or Natu: Pineco
  • Johto Festival: Catch 5 Water Pokémon: Seadra or Poliwhirl
  • Johto Festival: Win a raid: Porygon
  • Johto Festival: Make 3 Excellent Throws: Onix or Scyther
  • Johto Festival: Make 4 Great Curveballs: Miltank

Trainers, we’re getting reports from Trainers discovering Shiny Pokémon such as Natu and Sunkern. Have you had a Shiny encounter?

Posted: 20 Aug 2018 03:30 PM PDT

Had one of those "Hard work pays off" moments in Pokemon Go today

Posted: 20 Aug 2018 06:45 AM PDT

Ever since I missed the Charmander community day I've been trying other ways to get myself a shiny Charmander. The removal of the little guy from raids has been a big setback for me and I've resorted to hunting for the "power up a Pokemon 5 times" research task.

And lucky me none of the pokestops in my city had this quest. As I began to head back to the shop I work at I noticed a pokestop with a ring around it, I had not visited it. This pokestop was up top a massive hill with a lot of stairs.

It took me around quite a bjt to walk up this steep hill and because I'm not even remotely fit, it was exausting! My legs were burning when I was finally at the top and what would you know, that pokestop had the research task!

Although I did not get my shiny Charmander, I felt like the game was making me actually work towards a goal and the lesson I learnt today is that if you push that little bit further you will eventually reach your goals!

Hatched 1 Bagon and caught another. Had to walk really far with him to be able to get Salamence. It’s finally over.

Posted: 20 Aug 2018 03:26 AM PDT

He's one rare dragon... but after 300 kilometers, I can finally get Salamence! A glorious day!

Probably my favorite Day 1 Johto Festival catch

Posted: 20 Aug 2018 07:52 PM PDT

Was at work and had to drop what I was doing to walk around the place and find this guy.

I probably looked like an idiot standing in the middle of the parking lot though.

When I was trading around bad 'mons the other day with my friend for candies, I never expected that I would get this bad boy. Perfect IVs AND lucky! And on top of that, one of my favorite (pre-evolved) Pokémon? What a dream come true!... Until I looked at her CP. Welp. Better luck next time I guess, haha!
