The Have Whinge/Vent Thread

Seems a local problem. Here in New York I could jump from Gym to Gym, and nearly all were Kyurem or Zekrom.

I know this isn’t the Poke Genie support site; but my whinge is that my main is level 71, and Poke Genie won’t let me set it to that because supposedly 71 is an “invalid trainer level”. My alt is also 71, and PG is quite happy to let its profile say level 71. But not my main. I can’t even set main’s level to 51 on Poke Genie, which claims THAT is an invalid trainer level, too. It does the same thing after I restart my phone and re-login to Poke Genie

Can’t contact support without email on my phone, and nothing will get me to set up email on my phone. (and if I won’t set up email on my phone, I sure as ____ won’t USE email on my phone)

No idea, just for to try I have installed it a moment ago, and in configuration I have introduced my level 74… without any problem.

Ahhh, never mind. But thanks for the feedback.

I was using the previous versionof Poke Genie… After updating my app and restarting the phone, my level change was accepted without a complaint.

What a mess… the Weekly Party Challenge.

Yesterday I created a Party to fulfill the 30 km walking around.
After a moment 3 players had entered the group, but after 24 hours they still have not made 1 km ( my counter shows 23 km).

This is one thing, and on the other side I have an investigation where I have to catch 5 Pokémon being part of a party. As you can imagine I have caught more than 5 in this 23 km walking, but nothing, the counter doesn’t grow …

You have to use party play to finish that task, weekly challenges don’t count.

I don’t know why the hell I get excited about anything in the game tbh. It always ends up being a let down.
Was real excited about doing a heap of Shadow Raikou to bolster my Electric Raid team(s) and for the 1K Gym XP on a group of non Gold Gyms. Using the usual 4 accts with very well prepared Ground the battles were fairly quick.
Frustratingly there was always 2 of 4 accts that took near the full 18-20 ball count to catch crap IV Raikou. This limited the amount of Raids to mostly 3 in the 30min.
After 2hrs with no IV to excite I gave up to get a bite to eat. Managed 3 more after that and finally got a maybe acceptable 91 15atk on the second to last one.
16 Raids - No 100%, no great IV, no Shiny and 1x runner. Too much throwing balls for no joy.

For extra salt the weakest acct got a 98%, 93% and 2x 91% 15atk along with 3x Shiny.
Another acct got 3x Shiny

Oh, how do I understand you…

My main just catch normal things, but nothing excitating.
And using the others, there’s one which nearly allways get the shiny. And another which catch the Hundos… ??? Why? No idea, but it happens this way.

Seems I found a new fault in the game, nothing important, but anyway a fault.

If I look the list of my badges the Paldea badge shows a count of 65 registers. But when I take a look to my Pokedex, then there are 69 Pokémon from Paldea registered.

When I was taking a more detailed look, I saw that there are exactly 4 Pokémon with an ID higher than 1000, a number which was for a long time the highest ID.

This four Pokémon are 1011-Dipplin, 1012-Poltchageist, 1013-Sinistcha and 1019-Hydrapple, All this four are from october 2025.

Maybe there’s still a maximum counter of 1000 in the algorithm of the badge.

I found doing dynamax ho oh with 4 attackers is simply suicide. All attackers were toast before the ho oh was even 10 % depleted. And we were less than a quarter of the way to a max charge.

I guess I wasn’t paying enough attention to be better-prepared…

Too much of a dump of resources (Candy/XL/Dust) to power non 100% up to be strong enough.

STOP NAGGING ME

Niantic never gave us a switch to disable the obnoxious nagging push notifications.
And the bottom-feeding company that bought us from Niantic even added more.

I’m sick of being sick of it.

:+1:

Going through that stage again where my interest in the game is very low again.
Just can be bothered hunting 100% on the Map, not hitting Gyms hard for the Gold Badge, not turning the game on and letting the auto catchers get stuff. Have even let the Spin or Catch streak go a couple of times as well.

If you think how long we are playing this, it’s nearly imposible to have the interests stable on the top.
10 years now, they cannot introduce continuously new things. My “Catch’em all” need still 4 Pokémon, but what will happen if I get them?

Won’t catching the final one reverse the big bang expansion or space and throw the universe into eventual collapse?

Hahahahaa, a very good observation. Maybe I have to be carefull… :joy: :joy:

Doing some collection cleanup last night I noticed all the circled numbers used for stats when renaming have disappeared.
New renames don’t get accepted either.
WTF?

The raid rsvp system has a sucky feature – the trainer that invites and the invitees that rsvp don’t wind up in the same raid (so no buddy bonus), even when their rsvps all come in before the 20th rsvp.

With the last three versions they have messed up the naming system.
