So many people in the Pokemon Go community have the "If you play less than me you're a scrub and suck, but if you play more than me you have no life and cheat" mentality. And it really is shitty to see 😔
Niantic Logic: If we just revert all the good features and bonuses we don't have to fix the things people are complaining about. Because the people won't be playing anymore to even remember to complain.

“You can’t talk sports with everybody“ is one of the wisest lessons I have ever learned in my life. Much less stress and aggravation 😂
I have wanted this for a while, so it feels amazing! (even if I tied lol) GBL has been out almost 1 year now, and I've definitely improved so much because of it. I owe so so many people thanks, for supporting me and helping me to get gud!

Hey
@NianticLabs
can you just focus on Pokemon Go? It is the most AR relatable style of video game, a massive franchise, and the sole reason for your company's growth the past 6.5 years.
Why can't you just be happy to have such a powerhouse game? Less is more

I dont usually smile this early but its boarding time for Go Fest New York! Looking forward to seeing a lot of old friends again and meeting some for the first time 🥳

A lot of yall post your community day stats and shiny haul etc, and nobody tells yall "Its community day, everyone gets shinies and this doesn't mean anything".... Don't do that to people's rank 10 this season in GBL
The game has been out nearly 7 years. Why this constant fetishization of meeting new people and building local communities. If it didn't already happen... what makes them think it will now?
Cute and powerful, Stufful will appear during April’s

Stufful, the Flailing Pokémon, is making its debut in Pokémon GO, and if you’re lucky, you might encounter a Shiny one! ✨

Niantic cutting ties with an organization that made people actually play PVP, despite all the bugs and inconsistencies they themselves have never been able to control in the 4+ years of it, in favor of a clunky app that was 6 years too late... is such a Niantic move
A very long post I had wanted to make a few days ago but didn't feel right, given the current community turmoil:
I have been going through a lot of things recently. Falling out with people I cared greatly for, deaths, and just overall unhappiness at times. Streaming has been a
#HearUsNiantic
I will keep this one short today, as I did a lot of ranting last week.
The goal for any game should always be for people to want to play the game as much as their time allows them to do so. These changes do the opposite for many. Make things right!
@NianticLabs
Elite TMs should add a move to a pokemons move pool. Therefore you can unlock it and then TM it away, but its still available through normal TMs as part of its permanent move pool moving on. Building 2-3+ versions the same pokemon is rough, especially with XLs, shadows, IVs etc
What's the deal with boxes? This is literally a side by side from last June to the one you just released now. Why dont we get relatively the same value or even somewhere close anymore? Can somebody explain?

1. Guaranteed Rare Candy XL from in-person raids
2. Chance at RC XL to drop from remote raids
3. Remove limitation of remote raiders allowed in a 20 person lobby
Raid problems, solved.
You highly incentivise in person raids, but don't screw people with small/no community
I was able to climb 170 points with the arrival of Open Great League, and hit legend after midnight! Was debating waiting until morning to post it but here we are lol. Really good stuff. GGs to all my opponents this season. Umbreon very good! 🙇♂️

can't find things and essentially catch bugs before they happen, and now hanging creators our to dry with BS news or backtracking on features... the bridge is burnt 😔
I'll never understand why I get knocked out of 90% of the gyms I am in during community day. Like, just catch pokemon dude lol. What are you battling gyms for?
This pic with
@KgodMafia
in Arlington from December sparked this for me. I hated seeing how far I'd slipped. Lazy and out of shape, it took me time to get a consistent-ish routine, but I am glad I stuck through. These are pics from about 5ish months apart. Gotta stay at it!
This is the first I'm kinda saying of this. I've lost 30 pounds since Las Vegas. Haven't done body comp pics. I feel I can see it some in my face even. Wanna do it for me, not really searching for validation, but making a random I'm at the gym post I guess lol. Let's lose more!
Back to back 5-0 sets to close it out! feelsgoodman. This season I have really been a tryhard and focused a lot on getting better and adapting to the meta of GBL etc. I've gotten to play so many great battlers throughout, it's been a wild and sweaty journey. GGs trainers!
I am convinced that the people who are most outwardly excited by the drastic remote raid nerf, are egotistical community leader types. The ones who cannot fathom that their specific community would choose to not coordinate with them or be bothered with them, unless necessary.

Well, incense sucks again... idk why not just have it spawn every 2 min. That's the same as a lure which is a comparable item. 18 spawns/90 min is terrible. Obviously people should go out, but incense can be OP outdoors and still be useable stationary

I'd love to see the hours played for Gible comm day, Machop comm day, etc etc. During the pandemic Niantic made comm day 6 hours to accommodate players better, the thing is, they also re-released many shinies. A lot of the comm days were geared towards pvp, and specifically...
Actual 5-0 to hit Legend 😁
Ole Reliable Dialga comes through yet again. It's a new one since my OG got the boost to level 50, but its taken the torch and ran with it! Just in time to have the choice to skip Go Battle Day 🤣🤣
Playing in Silph day 1, when there was no GBL or real structured tournaments, this organization is probably largely the reason I still play pokemon go. Today is a sad day. Factions is a huge part of what motivates the pvp community to keep pushing. This really fucking hurts
All good things must come to an end. After 7 glorious years, The Silph Road Team is ceasing operations. Thank you to everyone who traveled the Road over the years. Together we wrote this place into Pokémon history.

, you should seriously consider shutting off Go Battle League for a bit. I personally have disconnected from 4 battles in my last 13, and have seen or heard of many suffering from the same or worse disruptions. This is the worst I've ever seen GBL
Non Pogo post below lol
I haven’t felt great about being a little stagnant with my health journey as of late. Then somebody I hadn’t seen in a while complimented my appearance recently and it made me realize that it’s not always about where you are at but the road you have
@PokemonGoApp
Cool story. Listen to people online as well. They exist too. People without communities to take pics with and who don't have irl friends who play.
#HearUsNiantic
So people caught a glitched OP Pokémon from GBL, powered it up to gain cheese elo despite pretty early indications being it was a glitch (not tradeable, vanished within hours, then a tweet about it later) and now they want to be refunded all the resources they spent on it?
LOL
Long version: There is a 3rd pic attached with my full thoughts on this season and my own gameplay journey
Short version: We hit legend and it's been quite an adventure!
I have tried to remain hopeful and stay positive with the direction of the game, despite many reasons to not always be. With that being said, this is fluff, and disheartening. From how it was made to sound, these diaries would be updates on game state, issues and fixes. Cont...

Did well yesterday in GBL, after losing nearly 200 points the day prior. I panicked, switched teams, tried different leagues etc lol. Went back to a reliable core I know to face the wild meta of GL and decoded to ride the hot streak out after midnight and it paid off!
Pokemon Go is such a unique game, in ways that other games have never even been close to. The accessibility and adaptiveness to every life style and dedication level, has been what's made Go stick in popularity. It really sucks that ideology and incompetence are what ruins it.
Makes me realize why he thought the post about the racist account name was funny too. Zero ability to self reflect or read a room. Or just zero shame. THIS ISNT YOUR LANE 🤡
Don't try to profit off a movement you're opposed to. Fucking lame shit

I’m not going to lie, at this point I associate Fleece with this meme every single time something new happens. Like once or twice is maybe somewhat understandable but it’s like a monthly scandal at this point 😂
Great for boring work days though ☕️
Legend tonight on stream in the first set with a 4-1. Also got a shiny Lapras as our reward on the sets. Which meant no shiny Libre obviously the next set 🤣🤣. Fun season! I have enjoyed my little twitch community and used their energy to get here!

We have so many partners in Pogo, that affiliate may seem irrelevant to some. But I look at it as a testament to how strong the community is! We have built a something that makes this easy for most to get, and that isn't the case for many streamers/games. I'm so appreciative! ❤️
I legit think they are doing shit just to troll at this point. No way they can be this incompetent, right? Riiight?!? They either wrote it wrong just to do this, or they decided we didn't deserve it last minute 🤣🤡
Trainers, we’d like to clarify that there is an error with our infographic for the Sustainability Week event bonuses. The stated “1/2 distance to earn Candy with your Buddy Pokémon” will not be available as a bonus for this event.
As somebody who has been pretty active in the

movement.
There are many ways to not support, and a lot of ways to spend less. If the event means a lot to you, no way you should skip in protest. Let them ruin their game, don't let them ruin your experiences as well
The on site photographer took a pic of me after my top 8 for Orlando. I liked this at the time but like it even more seeing how it turned out! So I figured I’d share here
Thank you
@FrankieT_52
for finding it for me 😂
The best thing about big, in person tournaments, is literally everything else. If you haven't been to one I definitely encourage you to go. It's amazing to put faces to the people we know online! Wish I could tag everybody, but just know that it was a pleasure to meet you all!
Trying to smile through the pain. Lost in the final round to make top 8. Finished 4-2. Got some packs and had a good time! Wish maybe I could have battled on stream though, with this guy behind me casting perhaps. His beard takes a lot of work, he's mid comb behind me here 🤣
No words. This season was a struggle fest and ran poorly. So glad to have made it to rank 10! If you dont, please don't be discouraged, you are still an incredible battler and your elo doesn't define you!
