My five year old daughter took an interest in Pokémon go earlier this year in March, leading me to show her Pokémon GO and her begin to "help" play with me on my account. Fast forward to the free hundo Mewtwo, after much teetering on the idea, my wife and eight year old son also signed up for accounts on the premise of getting one of the best pokémon in the game immediately for next to nothing (my daughter doesn't have her own device to use, but i'll probably just make her an account to lock in the mewtwo.) In the few days since, they've both fallen in love with the game, showing me there catches, talking about how they level'd up again, asking different questions. My wife is now level 22 after about 3 days, and my son is 13 after just 1 and change. I love having them play with me, but the game is so different now then when it launched and it has me feeling like old timers talking about "back in my day". XP is so much easier to come by, and they really did get hundo mewtwos first day, far from the case for day one players. Not really a complaint, as i'm glad the game is enjoyable for them, just a thought. Can you think of any other OG struggles and stories that new players wouldn't have to go through?

I left GO during December 2023 and just came back a couple of months ago. Missed all the fusions and most megas. I made a list of all the raids I'm interested in (and why) but likely won't be able to do all the raids necessary for energy for all of them with the budget i have planned. Who should I focus on other than Mega Mewtwo?

For context: I'm mainly a raid guy. Casually enjoy PVP but my interest comes and goes. I have a shiny reshiram already, not good iv, but heard hes decent on his own not just fuse fill, have a 93 zekrom so that may be good enough, have a lunala i can use for fuse but also heard hes decent on his own. Dont have any origin palkia or dialga. No good kyurem. I have one 98 necrozma, but thats my only good one. No Zacian or Zamazenta at all but understand they take ~10 raids to get energy needed. Have a 98 kyogre that id like to primal evolve.

Hey everyone, so I left the game in December of 2023 and just returned a couple months ago. During that time I missed all the fusion stuff and a lot of the megas. With RoL / GO Fest week coming up, I made a list of raids I'm interested in (and why), but I understand that cost wise I probably won't be able to do this whole list. I will be putting some money in though along with all the free passes so what from this list should I prioritize, other than Mewtwo?

For context: I mainly play in raids, I do play pvp but it's secondary importance to me and my interest in it comes and goes. I have a shiny reshiram already, not good iv, but heard hes decent on his own not just fuse fill, have a 93 zekrom so that may be good enough, have a lunala i can use for fuse but also heard hes decent on his own. Dont have any origin palkia or dialga. No good kyurem. I have one 98 necrozma, but thats my only good one. No Zacian or Zamazenta at all but understand they take ~10 raids to get energy needed, much like the necrozma fusions. Have a 98 kyogre that id like to primal evolve, already got a primal groudon.

I've been away from the game for a few years so I'm only used to the monthly GO passes, and have a few questions. Does this go pass have to be completed within the event timeframe? If so, how hard is it / will it be to run through 100 tiers in a week for the gold bottle cap? Finally, what's the general consensus? I know we don't know all the rewards for the paid version, but do we think it's the $20 price point. TIA for any info!
