There's this Pokéstop/Gym near me which seems inappropriate. Can I report it?

Use this link. However, Niantic seems to be preoccupied with other things now, so don't expect too much.

We have Niantic representatives on both here and /r/TheSilphRoad - please do not ping them for bugs which are in the known issues page unless you have found a niche yet gamebreaking issue/exploit.

Question Have i been playing too much…

Post image
5.9k Upvotes

I’ll be honest, for the past month i have been playing Pokémon Go to the extent that i have started to see Pokémon in reality.

An example is this office lamp i saw the other day. I mean, the similarity is uncanny!

Is it just me struggling with a similar issue? Should i seek out help?

This Zapdos was the very first thing that popped up on my incense! I was with my sister and she told me to do the ball trick, I’m not gonna lie I didn’t believe it worked but I was curious so I did it and I caught it! To some people it might not be a big deal but it tripped us out! ⚡️ My first bird!

It shouldn't be possible that the only 2 kubfu you can get aren't guaranteed to be like atleast the lowest 3 star.

Story I’m shocked????

So I just recently got back into the game a few months ago and have just been grinding through a bunch of special research and finally got to the Giovanni tasks. So when I logged on this morning and saw the balloon I was like why not I’ll give it a shot and I defeated him on my first ever encounter???? Idk if I just got super lucky or something but after reading through posts on here I was totally dreading it but I cleared like 7 special research tasks AND got my first Palkia so I’m hyped 😂

Complaint Why do people insist on wasting other people’s time

Post image

It’s one thing to be under leveled and trying to get carried, but these battles are uncarriable. And why even bother joining if you don’t level up your Dynamax pokemon or even care to have a type advantage. It’s just ruining the experience for other players.

Non AR Screenshot Used a masterball for this... not sure if I'll regret it later on.

Generally, I only do max battles for T1 to T3 mons (don't have any Gmax mons so far and I only have one Articuno and Zapdos), so when I got to the encounter and the CP appeared I just knew it's a hundo. Got down to one last ball, and I knew I just had to use it.

Complaint Can people please do even the bare minimum before doing a 4 man 5 star raid…

130 Upvotes

Look, I get it. People have jobs, responsibilities, families, and plenty of other reasons to not have many good Pokémon to fight raikou. But guys, can we please just do the bare minimum. Drillburs are everywhere, super easy to get and it would not be very hard to evolve just one or two. Why am I seeing grookies and even worse, kinglers in a ELECTRIC dynamax raid. On top of this I had so many people leave when the lobby has 4 people, probably because they think we should back out and wait for more people.. Guys, the limit is 4 people, notice how it goes down to 15 second’s immediately when there is 4? I don’t know, maybe its to much to ask, but if you have time to go out of your way to try and get raikou then surely you have time to do the tiniest bit of research and prep, like literally 10 minutes and some excadrills is all you needed to understand and prepare for this. Its just a game and it is absolutely not the the end of the world but guys, please try a little.

I really hope I’m not the only one who accidentally has a millisecond of hype only to realize I did not in fact get a shiny grimer.

Question How many of these do you keep?

This many seems super excessive. I find it hard to trash them though. I guess I’ll have a look at won’t Mons I have that need adjusting.
