you do have to give them credit as much as people analyze everything they do, nobody caught onto this one ahead of time.

I donā€™t like it because itā€™s out of my structure and Shinies donā€™t have different colours. I donā€™t transfer PokĆ©mon now, because I know that Iā€™m going to transfer a shiny now.

Shinies still have the three-star symbol next to them
And you cant even select a shiny to begin with

ā€œchunky squaresā€ ā€œrealistic detailā€ ā€¦ har. If the graphics today werenā€™t so precisely the opposite of their description, it might not be so clearly a joke.

Only a joke if it happened for using IV checkersā€¦ if your spoofing youā€™ve firstly broke the terms and conditions which youā€™ve agreed to, secondly are making the game less fun for others (both the social aspect and if you use it for getting high ivs or taking gyms) and thirdly your missing the whole point of altered reality games and you may as well play the console gamesā€¦if youā€™ve been banned without that itā€™s sucks and you shouldnā€™t have been but if not you only have yourself to blame :slight_smile:

Ok guys. Jokeā€™s over. Now put it back so I can see what Iā€™m doing. Truthfully, it looks like crap and Iā€™m not doing any transfers/evolutions because I canā€™t see which pokemon is what.

Put it backā€¦please
