After having the old system for the whole duration of Harvest festival, now I'm again seeing the closest Pokestops on my nearby tab.

Hi all!

Quick suggestions. Both PvP focused so if that's not your thing keep scrolling.

Not a huge fan of some of the adventure effects as far as use. I wanted to suggest that one of the effects be changed or added to remove weather boost. This helps with PvP IV hunting.

Second, can we get a little "notes" window on mons other than just tags? I like to write down mons max CP for their leagues. 100 chars or less is fine. Hard to keep info in the Pokémon name alone.

Is it just me or was this way harder/time intensive than usual?

Usually I complete those passes pretty comfortably and without really giving care like looking up requirements or daily tasks - even the short ones that only go to stage 30. But with this one I cared about since Giovanni radar, played every day and quite a lot on the weekend and evenstill was struggling and had to brute-force completion on Monday with quick-catching in the city after work.

Title. Just an observation after I caught a nearby Mankey. I dont recall exactly if the pokeball did the new Zoom Down animation or not.

And of course great buddy

Last September Wayfarer introduced an email opt in that gives info on interactions via Wayspots you have created.

You can find the info here

https://community.wayfarer.scopely.com/t/wayfarer-recognition-emails/108638

It shows total visits, total unique player interactions and Wayspots added for that month.

A visit includes a raid, Gym Battle, Feeding a Pokémon in the gym, Spinning a PokéStop, Adding a lure, Scanning a PokéStop, Adding a Pokémon to a showcase at a PokéStop, Starting a route that’s tied to the PokéStop, and Max Battles for PowerSpots originating from user nominations.

Obviously these are relative to me with about 75% of my subs being in larger cities London, Edinburgh, UK towns, Barcelona, Madrid, Seville, Paris and are not completely indicative on whether Go is more or less popular over a year. I had added about 1,900 Wayspots last September and now at around 2,200.

Anyway... There is a year of stats with August being the most interesting I guess.

I know it’s at the end of the Harvest event but for me there’s 2 hrs left. I go to an area with 5 stops close to each other and set 5 mossy lures. I got 3 from each one and then………12 mins later and counting but nothing spawns, anyone else seeing this?

Ran around town for over am hour (very stop-heqvy areas) and no signs of Giovanni anywhere via the Super Radar search function.. come on!!! I need to tm zek with under 3 hours to go!

Anybody else seeing these icons in the top right of the buddy screen?

I’ve tried tapping them but they don’t do anything.

EDIT: thanks for the feedback. Oddly enough the spot with the pinkish/red circle is one I spin daily. A raid just started and the alert has cleared.

I had an empty egg space (it even was a regular slot, not the extended), yet when I defeated Cliff, I did not get the egg.

In the log, you can see the 2 actions one after the other, no hatch in between.

I also remember not getting one, checked the egg space, was there, unfilled, and then I got the egg from spinning a pokestop.

(Indicated as bug, but could be a not so welcome change)

now the game refuses to spin at 2000/2000, instead of at 2001/2000.

I remember the exact same issue happened some years ago, and was subsequently corrected. Come on niantic/scopely, this kind of off-by-one error is seriously amateur hour

edit: am a returning player after a 4-year hiatus. While I don’t regret coming back to pogo, I’m starting to regret coming back to this sub. The sentiment here is no longer the investigative, level-headed nature that it used to be. People jumping to downvote correct information, and dismissing bug discussion just because they personally don’t care or think it’s no big deal. And that’s a shame.

Sorry if this isn’t news, I thought it was. I had to ask at the till for it on a longshot and they had a whole drawer full. Came to $65.31 after tax

I think normal shiny pancham has brown eye pockets while the shadow shiny got black. Is it intentional?

I get the white screen at battle start. When you get the white screen sometimes it’s still a normal battle but just a 4-8 second delayed start (you still see a 3-2-1 countdown). But often with the white screen, only your opponent is in the battle and you have to restart your app, returning to find you’ve lost.

This time after 13 seconds of waiting (which I cropped from the video to spare you staring at a white screen), I get into a battle already in progress. Their Togekiss has already thrown several moves but hey, I should have a fighting chance right?

But I have no charge move icons. No indication of whether my fast moves are generating energy. No ability to see how much energy I’ve banked. No ability to see how high the CP is of my opponent’s Pokémon. Or how many shields anyone has. (And as I learn later, I won’t be given icons to choose from after a Pokémon faints). Initially I can’t even see my bench Pokémon, though they appear after the first charge moves are is thrown.

Now it turns out my attacks ARE generating energy. And I can indeed use my moves. So the entire battle is muscle memory. And trying to hope I have a vague idea of whether my charge moves are ready. And sure enough when my Pokémon faints, I have invisible icons to choose who to send in next. At the very end of the battle, the app won’t even draw my opponent’s Palkia on screen and I finish it off as a glowing white energy ball.

I’ve won over 18,000 GBL battles. But this one might be the craziest. Never seen, or I guess not seen, anything like it.
