What happens if I un-friend somebody? Do they get a message saying I unfriended them, or does my trainer name simply vanish from their friend list? Do we have an opportunity to give some indication of why we un-friended them? Is it a unilateral process or is the one being un-friended able to propose the friendship continue? Is it possible to re-friend somebody whose friendship was ended by one of us? I would prefer if the friends who never open a gift but keep sending them can be jolted into the give-and-take dynamic rather than just ending the friendship.
And I’d like to know how the process plays out before I start, so that I can use the process properly and avail myself of any mechanisms for diplomatic friend-ending that might be available.
From what I understand, there is no message. What does happen is that any progress made is currently held on the server for like a week or so, that way you can get back right where you had left off. Once that expires, you will have to start all over again.
I’ve removed a few friends in my friends list due to inactivity, or broken trade deals. I make it clear that it’s nothing personal; it’s just making room for another friend that’s more active.
PkmnMasterHolly on Twitter asked the same question, and she was told by various other people that the progress is saved for 7 days and then the progress resets on day 8.
Thanks; that should be helpful. But since I’m not anywhere on the internet that has a friendship feature, I’m equally ignorant of how deleting friends works on any of those sites.
Did they update this since March? I removed a friend early on because he (by his own admission) was rubbish with sending gifts until shinies were introduced in them. When I re-added him we went straight back to where we left off…
What happens if I send a gift to a friend on Pokémon go and they never open it and then I unfriend them? Will they still be able to open the gift after I unfriend them?
When you unfriend someone in Pokémon GO, they will not receive a notification the player’s name will simply be removed from their friend list. Unfortunately; there is no built in system to explain why you are unfriending someone or to offer that you continue the friendship. Unfriending is a unilateral process, which means you have complete control over it.
I have friendship with a second and third account of myself.
Two of this accounts have been banned by Niantic, and in the active account they are still visible. I have used them to get a last gift after been banned, and I could sent them a last gift I needed for investigation rules (but they will be never opened).
I have looked today and after one year banned they are still in the list.
