| DEAR NIANTIC - ideas and suggestions for the devs Posted: 03 Sep 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! Please pay attention to the /r/PokemonGo rules for commenting behavior and civility, and use the report button when necessary to alert the mods to any post or thread that needs a review!

| Posted: 03 Sep 2018 09:44 AM PDT Apologies if this is more of a phone issue than a Pokemon GO issue, but I've been getting that message when I'm on a different app, even if the game isn't in the background. Anyone else have this issue? [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 03 Sep 2018 11:22 AM PDT https://imgur.com/gallery/EjJGx3R Got this shot in front of the San Diego Zoo, where they just recently put up this bronze lion statue. I guess you could say Entei is a real...copycat. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 03 Sep 2018 11:33 AM PDT http://imgur.com/gallery/Jm4VnLI This gym is protected at all costs. Fear the fish. We will obliterate all who oppose us. Just saw this at a local gym and thought it was funny, so I decided to share. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| [Complaint] Pokemon GO: A crazy-fun, always-improving bug fest that still has terrible UX Posted: 03 Sep 2018 01:35 PM PDT I'll start off by saying that I'm a fan of Niantic. They have (if not in all but in many ways) listened to some of our major concerns about gameplay and created new and interesting mechanics for the bare-bones geocaching game we started with two years ago. We got weather. We got stardust buffs. We got raid cycles and events and trickle releases to keep things interesting. And even if we got a ton of bugs in the process, Niantic has learned from some of those mistakes and even turned around impressively at times. But aside from the major victories and catastrophes, there is one thing, one critical thing, that has remained consistent about the game and its development. It's clunky. It's supremely clunky, like insane on every level clunky. Let's go through a hypothetical go sesh. I start up the game. I'm greeted with a popup, possibly two, possibly three, concerning weather and news. 5 seconds later... My friend zthrowaway69 on Discord said he needs a gift. Guess I'll do that real quick. Wow, I forgot how long my friends list is. Scroll... Scroll... Scroll... Pause, loading... Scroll... Scroll... Scroll... Pause, loading... 30 seconds later... Gift sent! Walk around. Spin a stop. Touch a pokemon. Whoops, I can't touch that one because it's bugged, time to restart the game. 20 seconds later... There we go. Now I have to carefully navigate my finger to poke that Natu instead of the Weedle that is now stacked on top of it. Whoops, I missed anyway, now I have to wait for the intro sequence to play out before I can cancel. 5 seconds later... The Natu isn't shiny. Next! 5 seconds later... Hey, a Machop. 20 seconds later... What was its CP again? I just threw right away. I can't tell the CP because a popup is telling me about all the items my friend got from my gift. 8 seconds later... Let me try to dismiss it. Oh, what? This goes to the friend screen, I don't want that. Eh, this machop is crap IV, time to transfer. I thought I saw a Chansey on my radar, but I can't tell because I just checked Discord and from changing focus the game has cleared all the spawns from my field of view. Sometimes the radar will stay up while the spawns are gone, sometimes it won't. Time to restart again. 20 seconds later... Spawns are back up. I track the Chansey over the next two minutes. It disengages from tracking multiple times! Well, maybe I'll take a break and spin that stop I started at, since it's blue again. Zooming in tells me I'm in range, but spinning it does nothing. Time to move closer. Okay, now I'm definitely in range. Spin! "Try again later." Looks like the "pokestop ready" timer is out of sync. AARGH! Well, maybe I can get a quest from this other pokestop. "Your bag is full." Say what? I can't get a quest from a stop because I have too many items? 10 seconds later... Okay, finally. Now I - Oh, god dammit! I spun it but my list was already full! Now I have to wait five minutes to try again. Well, that gives me plenty of time to hunt this Chansey. Closer... Closer still... "The Pokemon fled!" SHIT! Sixty seconds, right? Runrunrunrunrunrun MADE IT. There you-- "Oh?" I'm now the proud owner of a new 5km Barboach. Ten seconds and a transfer later... WHERE'S THE CHANSEY? WHERE IS THE MOTHERF- In software development, they often say "the road to hell is paved with premature optimization." Or something to that effect. But when it comes to playing a game? Things that aren't strictly gameplay should always be snappy. Making stuff move as fast and as unobtrusively as possible that isn't involved with the actual mechanics doesn't take away from the game's challenge, it just minimizes unnecessary frustration. And Pokemon GO is RIFE with unnecessary frustration. Can I challenge you, Niantic, to instead make the basic experience of playing this game an absolute joy? Because honestly, even after the crazy amount of time literally spent just navigating popups and interfaces or just plain old waiting in this game, it's still one of my favorites. And I know you guys have it in you to make it even better. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Boy I sure wish i could see my game over the 50 notifications that pop up when I log in. Posted: 03 Sep 2018 02:51 PM PDT Its gotten to the point where I literally set my phone down for a few minutes before picking it back up. Edit: I've learned my lesson not to bitch lol. Thanks for showing me ways to get around it. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 03 Sep 2018 09:51 PM PDT This evening is a very special night - we made a risky trade and it went lucky!! My trade to him was a 2016 Pokémon his was caught yesterday. Time to continue the lucky collection... [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 03 Sep 2018 07:04 PM PDT First, I never post ideas for games. I figure if the creators wanted something in there they would have done it already. But, having said that, I have friends in some pretty cool places in other countries. (OK, they don't know me from Adam, I just got their Player Number off some forum and we send each other gifts. Don't judge me.) And they send me gifts from some pretty cool pokestops - like this cool one I got from Scotland today. I wish I could collect these like stamps. Like a Pokestop-dex or something. The game can connect a lot of people who would never meet otherwise and we get to share the world around us with someone halfway around the world. (See what I did there?)

| [Screenshot] Had to share this greatness with someone! Posted: 03 Sep 2018 09:10 AM PDT Not my first MewTwo but definitely my new pokedex champion! I think im going to convert him to be double psychic to lead my psychic team. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Character customization keeps me playing Posted: 03 Sep 2018 09:14 PM PDT Cosmetics are the biggest factor for interacting with gyms. I've spent pretty much all my pokecoins on new clothing pieces. Anybody else into customizing their character as much as I am? [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 03 Sep 2018 05:09 AM PDT Completed the Celebi quest and I spent some time taking a few AR shots. I'm quite happy with the result! Wait, why am I getting this weird feeling like this has happened before? Feels like a strange déjà vu. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| [AR Photos] Took some photos of Celebi at the nearby Rose Gardens this weekend Posted: 03 Sep 2018 04:02 PM PDT I finished my research tasks for Celebi this Sunday and decided to do a photoshoot since I was in a Rose Garden. I only included a few of my favorite shots. My camera has a weird thing where the pokemon floats to the left continuously when in AR mode (never seen that on someone else's phone) so I took video and grabbed stills from it later. Hope you all like it. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Mareep hatch rate in the 10KM Egg is too damn high. Posted: 02 Sep 2018 11:05 PM PDT Seriously. After it's comm day and adding it to quest. The amount of Mareep that I get in 10km eggs is too damn high. The last 7 10km eggs I got I got are 4 Mareep and 3 Feebas. I hatched another earlier and got another Mareep so it's 5 out of the last 8 for me. Meanwhile, the Bagons and the Trapinchs are so hard to get. Since Mareep is easily accessible on quest, I think it's time to remove them on. I guess I am just too damn salty that all I get is mareep. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| On Day 1 of Wingull, I caught zero shinies. On Day 2, at 1:35 AM, I caught 3 in a row in 8 minutes. Posted: 03 Sep 2018 05:10 PM PDT https://i.redd.it/bluidzuj04k11.png Caught like 50 Wingull on Day 1 without a shiny, feeling a little annoyed. Then caught 3 in a row all of sudden.

| Couldnt catch regirock after raid Posted: 03 Sep 2018 09:34 PM PDT Just finished my regi raid, but little did i know my storage was full. I couldnt buy storage so I went to transfer a mon. BUT thr raid was over, we started with only a few min left. The raid is completed and appear in the journal, but it says nothing about regi running away Is there a way to get it back?

| Machamp, Alolan Raichu and Tyranitar are best choices for this Stardust event!! Posted: 03 Sep 2018 08:42 PM PDT The Stardust event has begun. This morning when I finished soloing a Machamp raid, I noticed a huge mount of stardust came to my pocket, so I did a minor analysis to calculate how much dust we could take from raids.
At present, only That is the greatest way to grind stardust, in my point of view. Someone may have a more detailed analysis, but I hope you'll find my post useful. EDIT: It was a HUGE mistake that I listed Raichu as a third evolution pokemon. Therefore only Machamp and Tyranitar are worthy to spend raid passes on. Thanks u/postsgiven for reminding me.

| Discover Pokemon in the Real World! Life-Size Statues PART 2 Posted: 03 Sep 2018 09:31 AM PDT Hey fellow trainers! I wanted to show you guys the second group of life-sized statues I made! Eevee was made at/during the convention! There was a crazy amount of spawns in the area (even an eevee while I was working on eevee!) and the gym was changing hands constantly! What a blast! Here's a link for anyone who wants to see the new guys! https://imgur.com/a/fwULoFl [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| NOTIFICATION for the count of Opened Gifts Posted: 03 Sep 2018 10:19 PM PDT Since Niantic is not increasing the 20 gift per day limit anytime soon. I think it would be helpful if there is also a small number notification on the upper left or right portion of the screen when opening gifts. Like when you have opened 10 it has a 10/20 notification on the screen. It can be in a small text. This way, you will know if you can still open gifts. It can help a lot for those who has lots of friends so they can manage it better. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| [Question] Potentially travelling to America. Posted: 03 Sep 2018 08:14 PM PDT So I may potentially be travelling to the USA (Wisconsin and maybe Louisiana) in a few months. I was wondering what pokemon from Australia should I be stockpiling to trade to locals to help them fill their dexes up? Obviously Kangaskhan and Corsola, but are there other ones I should be keeping every one I catch to take with me? [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| AR photo of Celebi at a castle Posted: 03 Sep 2018 01:08 PM PDT http://imgur.com/gallery/tuUCPB3 Spent a while taking photos of Celebi in a location I felt was fitting as Celebi is the Pokémon of time travel and also would be right at home in the woods. A warning to people on Android the pictures are not saved, had to use an iOS device. I have really enjoyed doing the quests and hope people like the picture. I would recommend to anyone who has not tried doing AR photos before to give it a go with Celebi, very photogenic and nice animations. To me it is one of my favourite parts of the game and I hope there will be a fix for saving on Android soon. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 03 Sep 2018 05:32 PM PDT So Im sure this idea has been thrown around but here it is: an AR based pokemon amie. You can take any of your pokemon and put them in ar mode where they can be posed for photos, interacted with via touch screen (petting, playing) and potentially even fed berries for a light gameplay element (such as gaining a small amount of xp per pokemon per day, or giving a boost to your buddy pokemons candy gain rate). You could even have a super training esque punching bag for testing out your pokemons combat moves. I know Ive seen posts complaining about lack of a post-capture AR mode, and a lack of things to do when you cant go walk around (one poster was bedridden, I seem to recall). This would fix that and tie into the game really well, plus add more opportunities for screenshots, more appeal to younger audiences, and I really cant imagine it would be that hard to add to the game since AR framework is already in and there arent many new animations that would be involved. What are your guyses thoughts? [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 03 Sep 2018 08:25 AM PDT I have been playing Pokémon Go since it's release and I am currently level 32. However, one of my favorite memories has to be when I did a raid to catch my very first Mawile and it was a shiny! Unfortunately, I don't have the screen capture of when it was the only Mawile in my dex but hopefully these pictures do a good enough job showing that it was my first.

| Posted: 03 Sep 2018 09:53 PM PDT So today my game stopped working completely, in that it no longer recognizes my GPS signal at all. Just a constant "GPS signal not found" error. I've tried reinstalling, using different connections, and changing my GPS accuracy, nothing. I've already submitted a bug report, but I wanted to know if anybody else is experiencing this? Is it a problem with PGo or my phone? [link] [comments]  |
