got me a golden boy from the midnight blimp
so lovely, not the best IVs, but ill definitely be maxxing it out for help in raids
also got a shiny shadow Gyarados the other day with much worse IVs 😆
any luck for y'all?
whenever i lose a solo battle and it pops up with a suggestion for a deck i should use...
How about I use whatever deck i want, and you STOP RIGGING THE RNG 🤬
dont tell me i need to use another deck while you literally rig every fucking coin flip and card draw
so fucking annoying, they really wanna make the solo battles so frustrating that i dont wanna play the game AT ALL
insane decisions the development team makes, absolutely ridiculous they cant just make the AI smarter instead of rigging the fuck out if it
Peru James x Peru Blue #3 - showing off its blueness
this is one of my favorite Peruvianus hybrids
anyone else noticing the game freeze a lot? especially after defeating a raid boss, before you get to throw balls
its very annoying, this makeup day was supposed to make up for the poor performance and mistakes, but just today ive had 3 times the game froze, so i had to restart it and hope i was able to throw at the mon still, which luckily i was able to
sometimes when it freezes, it the gym is no longer a raid, it'll just end up screwing me over
and dont even get me started on the ridiculously bad customer service
you could have the guy sitting there next to you witnessing it happen with his own eyes, and he'd still say sorry we cant refund your raid pass
after 10 years of putting up with this slop of a company, im not surprised, but its starting to feel like im masochistic for playing haha
Trichocereus pachanoi PC bloom, w/ some nice music 🎵
what a stunner, now i want my other cacti to flower so i can start crossing these fellas
my PC stand flowering for the first time - from beginning to full bloom
ive had this Home Depot PC Pedro for like 5 or 6 years, and the stand finally decided to flower
i suspect because i started feeding it kelp fertilizer, i read they like potassium for flowering
from first photo to full bloom took like a week, but it was looking similar to that first photo for a while before that, without changing much
such a big beautiful flower 😲 doesnt smell very strong
got two hundo Raichu on my first two mega raids, one of each
is this guaranteed or something? or did i just have ridiculous luck?
if im just lucky, i sure wish i could have had that luck on Mewtwo or Kyogre 😆
interesting 🧐
why Niantic never seemed to care about the game
​
The engineering priority under old management was never fixing the PvP netcode, balancing the combat engine, or overhauling the stale gym loops. The engineering priority was refining the AR mapping tools, reducing drift data, and optimizing the geospatial pipeline. The game was just the carrot on a stick to keep the free labor moving.
This is exactly why the Scopely acquisition is such a massive structural reset. By decoupling the actual game service from Niantic's spatial mapping division, the app is finally owned by a company that relies strictly on game mechanics to generate profit.
They don't care about training autonomous robots; they care about player retention, live events, and monetization. For the first time in a decade, the game is actually being treated like a game product rather than a front for data collection.
you can back out during a super mega raid, heal your mega and come back in
to take down the shield, don't just give up because your mega died
also, how insane that the devs even allow people to enter without a Mega
this weekend is a real IQ test many will fail 😔
They should do like 2x stardust from Pokemon you catch from a lure or incense
I think that'd be good for the game, and inspire people to play more and spend more on those resources
What do you think my intelligent Instinct brethren?
I want nicotine lozenges with the same dimensions as a Pez candy
So I can use a Pez dispenser to dispense them
Depending on the character, it's either cooler or cuter than a pouch style tin
This part of my TBM Crest making me feel warm and fuzzy
Crested Bridgesii really are special
Like a cactus, but much weirder, always something new to look at and gorgeous shades of green and blue, excited to continue watching this part continue to unfold 👀
Why doesn't Kanto Sandslash have access to Drill Run, but the Alolan variant does?
That's disrespectful, Sandslash could use the help and it wouldn't make it broken or anything
I just wanna see my Kanto boys get some love 💕
And I have really good GL and UL IVs of the normal and shadow
I wanna see the shadow shiny, that thing would look so 🔥
Peru James x Peru Blue #3 - mean looking pup
This guy is one of my favorite looking in the collection
​
Gets super blue 💙
Landrace Bridgesii - one of my favorites 🤌
Love the look of her, she's a vigorous grower, has been super tolerant of wet and dry conditions, she's a real gem 💎
We finally did it, after all these years I have a hundo Necrozma muwahahha!
I've done so many damn lucky trades with Necrozma and always got shafted, but persistence has paid off 👏
Also a shiny and from Taiwan
Good luck with your Remote Trades folks, got my fingers crossed for y'all 🤞
