Lack of coordination and information about the LRT

I get to Blair and go in and see a sign saying the station is not in use.

I go back out and wait for r1 and in the meantime, several busses of people arrive and people just go straight up. I get curious why people aren’t going back down, so I go up and see the LRT is in fact running and all the way to Tunneys pasture.

There was a driver telling us about the r1 and how it will take us to Hurdman, he obviously didn’t know the train was running

Why is r1 service still running? Why is there a sign saying the station is out of service?

Missing band representation from the world championships

The announcer said

Of the 221 bands represented, 125 are from Scotland, 26 from Northern Ireland, 19 from USA, 9 from Éire, 6 from Canada, 11 from England, 5 from Australia, 2 from New Zealand, 2 from Oman, 2 from Zimbabwe, 1 each from Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, and Malaysia

That’s only 211 bands, what about the remaining 10?

I wish I had some sort invisible magical barrier that prevented insects or arachnids from entering my house. Such a barrier would not have any kind of environmental impact, or negatively impact the insects that come in contact with the barrier, it would simply act like a wall.

Does OC Transpo ever look to see if bus schedules match up with LRT schedules?

Example, I got the LRT at Blair tonight and was just getting down to the platform the same minute the 25 millennium was scheduled to come. Thankfully the bus was running 3 min late so I didn’t have to worry, but if it had been on time, I might not have had time to get down to the bus platform before it came and would’ve had to wait 30 min for the next bus

I get there’s many routes, and many times throughout the day, but it should be easy enough to run schedules through some sort of algorithm to highlight these types of routes that have narrow transfer times with the LRT and make a slight adjustment to the scheduled arrival time to give riders a bit of a breather when transferring.

The routes don’t have to be exactly 30 min apart do they? So what if adjusting the time means the buses come 25-35 min apart?

Sometimes I wish I could remotely edit titles of gifts I get sent.

Theres a few gifts I receive regularly from friends with a glaringly obvious typo in the title/description.

It’s not a big deal and has no impact on the game, I just have a touch of OCD and wish I could submit an edit suggestion for the POI, even though it’s in another country which I will likely never visit in person.

Is there any evidence that go pass rewards are coded with unique shiny rates?

For example the Gimmighoul at the end of July research, it’s impossible to reach it before August 1 when Gimmighoul can’t be shiny anymore (at least for FTP, not sure if players who bought the jump start can reach 200 before unlimited points begin August 1)

What about event focused go passes with boosted shiny odds for some species? Does the shiny boost disappear when the event ends or are the pass encounters still shiny boosted in the day or two you can claim them after the event ends?

If you don’t care about or cannot complete Rillaboom Gmax on Saturday, save 2000+ particles to use for max Monday for 5 rare candy XL

Having 2120+ particles gives you 8 magmar battles on Monday for 8 rare candy xl once you used up excess particles and collect 1080 on Monday.

Just have 1300-1490 particles and visit one power-spot Saturday.

Edit: forgot to factor in 1080 you can get on Monday.

Does anyone have data on sponsored Pokéstops and the frequency of receiving their unique field research?

I’ve felt like lately the odds have dropped of getting the special sponsored field research and was just wondering if there’s any data (legit or otherwise) to support that.

Is the Canada Disability benefit income based?

I noticed I did not get the disability this month, is it income based? I made a little bit of extra money this year, and it put me above the $20,000 mark for income. Is that enough to stop the disability payments? Is there another reason why I might not have gotten it?

Why am I getting Monday’s adventure sync rewards on a Thursday morning?

I had just restated the app and I got Monday’s adventure sync bonus. This isn’t the first time I’ve fully closed and restarted the app this week, so why now?

How would you solve this situation in universe?

Scenario: After the events of Lucky Day

Ruby finds out Conrad has betrayed her. However, the doctor later discovers that Conrad and Ruby staying together somehow leads to a pivotal moment that is critical to save the human race.

How does he convince them to stay together (Conrad’s not in jail in this scenario) for the good of humanity?

This is based on a dream i had and I (a third party) was just going to the doctor for advice when I woke up.

The New York event would have made an excellent global lead up to the tenth anniversary

A 9-10 day event, with each day featuring raids and spawns that debuted that year.

Every Pokemon that had a community day (or classic) that year would be able to have its move from evolving (Better yet Tm but let’s not get carried away) as well as being available from field research or even timed research that day

I like what they did for New York, great way to capitalize nostalgia, but it would have been even better to have a global week long event

If I can only participate in go fest mewtwo raids on Saturday or Sunday, which is the ideal day?

I’m going to an event on the weekend but I get to choose the day.

The event will last a good chunk of the day so I’ll miss out raiding Mewtwo, although I might get some raids in the morning or evening.

Mewtwo X seems the go to for mega ML which I enjoy playing in, but Mewtwo Y seems the go to for PVE.

It’s too bad the Mewtwo don’t alternate during each day, but I guess that’s FOMO at its finest.

Will Gimmighoul be shiny for the entire month or just until the end of Monday?

The announcement said “Gimmighoul holding a 10th anniversary coin can be encountered with the Coin Bag or from Golden Lure Modules.
This will be active from July 4, 2026 at 10 am to Friday, July 31, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. local time.”

However it doesn’t explicitly say it remain shiny eligible outside this event

What are some obscure game features that not many people know about?

Here’s a few I know about, what others are there?

Spinning 10 unique Pokéstops within 30 min gives you double XP and double the items for the tenth Pokéstop spun

When feeding your buddy berries after an hour to get a heart and fill up the meter there’s a very small window if you feed them almost exactly an hour after you last got a heart from feeding that you only need to feed them one berry instead of two.

This is something I read a while back and hard to confirm, but apparently feeding a gym defender a nanab berry restores more motivation than a regular razz or pinap. I guess the only way to test this would be putting two pokemon with identical cp and feed one a razz/pinap and the other a nanab after exactly the same amount of time.

While not obscure per se, having an ultra buddy find a new location for you gives your buddy an extra heart, and sometimes bonus items like golden razz or silver pinap when spin the stop. However, it only works once per buddy regardless of whether you spin it or not

Routes have chance of giving you a rare candy xl or even an Elite Fast TM
