Lets talk - (anything)

No problem at all, but knowing makes it more easy to wait :smiley:

Hello everyone

Sorry I haven’t been here a lot last week. A girl I used to be in class with last year died, and another old teacher of mine as well. Deaths aren’t related to each other.
It shocked me. Even when only 19 years old, your life can be over in a snap.

Anyways, I’ll tell something fun as well.

Last week, I went to a place in Noord-Brabant where Van Gogh used to live. Had a wonderful walk in the area, caught some pokemon and swept some gyms.

Also, I photographed some locations he painted.


Planning to do community day tomorrow for an hour or so. It seems like the weather will be wonderful tomorrow.

How nice to see that some things stay in time…

Hi @Branebs how are you doing

I’m better now, thanks for asking. How are you?

Doing not too bad.
The day was nice, trees are slowly beginning to blossom, and it was warm-ish today. Didn’t even mind that I needed to bike to school to be there for a measly 30 minutes.

Ill try to remember to make a picture of it tomorrow. The trees are beautiful

It’s been a while since I came on. Been pretty busy with school and will be graduating in about 12 hours. So now I’ll need to apply for a different visa if I want to stay on after June. Unfortunately, my Japanese speaking doesn’t cut it so I wasn’t recruited by any agencies with my audition reel.

Anyway, I tried to login via Google, but it keeps giving an error. Is there an admin that can look into that please? I might not come on for a while and get automatically logged out again.

I’m shocked :scream:

I can’t understand how those people still enjoy playing the game at all. It sounds quite boring to me if you can just fly all over the map hopping from one Shiny to another. Takes away all value too.

No, its not this way. If the normal gameplay has lost any incentive to go on (seeing the faults in the game and the way Niantic programs it), then you have two ways to actuate.
One is just to stop to play, or you look for a different way to play it.
Niantic is trying to move us to a competitive way of play, with raids and, more at all, with the leagues. But I, for example, allways had more in mind the old slogan ā€œcatch them allā€.
As I told in another post, for this reason (I hate the leagues) I started to get a living, hundo, all gender Pokedex. With normal gameplay this is impossible, so I have to find another solution.
I will try everything not to disturb your gameplay, but just let me go my way…

Niantic was and is continuously ruining the game, so from that perspective I would understand people will figure out new ways to play the game, but even then it still seems boring to me.

I mean, cool idea. But no way I would ever let myself install that, even if I used android devices

And reading the local Discord-Group, run to the spot where a Hundo has spawned to catch it… isn’t this nearly the same? Because I have no help to find shinys, only normal PokĆ©mon. That it comes out as a shiny has the same probability as yours.

Yes and no. So, that mod to pokemon go basically does this on the background: clicks on the pokemon and immedeately runs from it to check if it is shiny if it is, it changes the appearance to the shiny version of the pokemon on the overworld. So you basically skip looking at all pokemon in the over world except for the shiny ones, not needing to check any of them.

Basically the difference in encountering pokemon in pokemon Sword & Shield versus pokemon Legends Arceus

Ah, myone doesn’t do this, at least the cero-cost version.

This is terrible! Hopefully, no one here has experienced this.

I have not had that, but I’m willing to believe I’ll forget it myself at some point.

Well, two things there. One, evolving a buddy allways resets all, your way to best buddy, as the hearts of the day. The evolved one counts as a new buddy. (at least in my account).
The other, dont want to know how many flyers are there in Sylphroad, the jumping over time-date-line has some side effects, as getting two research stamps with the same date, as well as loosing the 7-day-streak in catching or spinning PokƩstops.
So, maybe in many cases its not a glitch.

After reading a few Pokemon based creepypastas, I can’t look at shiny sudowoodo the same way again.
