With the recent fuck ups Niantic has made with Pokenon Go, there has been reports of internal conflicts within the team. One of their devs spoke out with one tweet to show how he feels with the team

This was his tweet, he's siding with the fans against his own work place. Quesion is, how fast will Niantic take an L? (Aka: how far until the media starts shitting on them, Reddit is having a legitimate uprising right now and so is the pokemon community)

Well they're in the right. I have to side with them too. At the game's launch the footprinta were working just fine if you could put aside the server overload issues and the 1HP bug then they fix that but fuck up the footprints making it near impossible to tell unless you watch the order the nearby mons move and instead of fixing it they add a whole bunch of useless shit and remove the footprints all together. What the fuck are they even doing right now?
>>
>>27444454
It's not surprising. When you're told you're having fun incorrectly people are going to speak up.

Niantic is--and has been--over its head with this. Go was a mistake.

>overreacting: the post

>>
>>27444454
Honestly, Niantic should have left Pokevision and other similar apps/sites alone until they get the tracking system fixed. With those apps/sites, people were still playing the game, even though the bugs are a hinderance. Now that they've taken those away, the bugs are all that's left, and the people that play will start dropping like flies. Even with the footprints gone, the Pokemon on the Nearby List still appear out of order, and Pokemon pop up on the map that weren't on the Nearby List to begin with. It's literally "Go outside and hope you get lucky" right now, where as with Pokevision, you could see exactly where everything was and go and find it. I know it wasn't legal, but they still should have left it alone, at least until the glitches are all worked out.
>>
>>27444454
Before Pokevision takedown, I'd only scan directly around me and where I take classes, checking for spawns when I go up there.

Now, that I can't do that. I found a new scanner that doesn't let me snap to location. Instead, it scans around me in increasingly large radii. So instead of knowing what's around me right now, I'm going to map the entire fucking city before Niantic pulls this one, too.

Just yesterday, my sister and her husband were trying to convince me to play it inbetween bouts of going out and hunting for shit in the area.

Today, I heard my sister talking about how enormously stupid it is that you have no idea where anything is now, and neither of them have touched the game.

To be fair that is true.
I mean the game already has server issues and then there was that DDOS situation.

>>27444680
>with Pokevision, you could see exactly where everything was and go and find it
I still don't understand why this wasn't how the game worked in the first place. i understand having all the Pokemon on the map would probably be pretty nasty looking and maybe have other issues too, but there IS a function to select a Pokemon that was practically purposeless. Why couldn't selecting the Pokemon make that one show up on the map so you could walk to it? I don't understand. I would think most people would respond better to "if you go here, you'll get this" task-reward rather than a mostly directionless scavenger hunt even when the footprints were working. IT's not like there isn't any reason to catch Pokemon you already have anyway so you can level them up wth the also extremely shitty candy system and that's the only reason I can think they wouldn't have done it, because maybe they thought people would be motivated to play less if finding Pokemon wasn't mostly random and they didn't have to jump for everything that could pop up.
>>
>>27445153
That's half the game though. Make them update less frequently or something, don't just take it out. Make it so you have to manually update the location.
>>
>>27444454
Footprints were a mistake anyway, you don't get told what Pokemon you're going to run into in x steps in the games so why are people bitching about it in this?
>>
>>27445212
Because in the games, there's a specific place you go to find Pokemon. In GO they can be anywhere, but they're is not a lot of them in any one place.

How in the hell could they fuck up this bad? Why take away Pokevision? We're all bumbling around in the dark now,
And bumbling around in the dark is only fun when there are boobs and butts to grab onto. It looses almost all of its fun when there are 99% hard cocks jutting out everywhere.
Pidgeys, Rattatas, Mankeys, Magnemites, Spearows, Geodudes and Zubats are the hard dicks that are in abundance. Pokevision made it so you could find the nice boobs and butts to grab.

Yes, you're right. This game in particular is about the journey and not the destination.
However; people would venture to where good pokemon were and would meet people along the way. Now, people are wandering aimlessly trying to find something that isn't a Pidgey or Rattata, you're less likely to run into someone now since you aren't being brought to the same location.
>>
>>27445291
Not walking around blind doesn't mean you can't bave social experiences. People were doing it before. I doubt it's going to be moreso now. Wanting a scavenger hunt game that involves the entire fucking world to give you a direction to look is not "power gaming".

It's because they designed it like a mobile game. They don't want to hunt down Pokemon. That would too much like actual gameplay. They want to wander around and hope you get lucky, since if players want something badly enough they will simply keep playing until the die roll favors them enough to get it. It's just like the gashapon system in other mobile. They're designed to be gambles to keep people addicted and keep playing for the chance that they'll get something good if they keep at it.

My friends and I even thought we'd give it another chance and went to some barhopping event with our 3DSes thinking we'd at least get a couple streetpasses or be able to talk about the games but it was just a bunch of fuckin casuals who couldn't remember the name of the pony whose name is literally Pony with two extra letters.

A lot of Go players live in the middle of bumfuck nowhere. Even some people in populated areas are treated to low spawn rates and sparse Pokéstops (I'm lucky to get a few fucking Rattata without walking through a bunch of dangerous neighborhoods into the city)

Before there was a hot/cold indicator that helped you determine how close you were to a certain Pokemon, now it just shows all the Pokemon in your vicinity (which is a pretty large area) with no indicators of where they could be.
It's one of the primary features of the game, and they removed it.

The only one cherry picking here is you because you're picking common pokemon to prove your point jackass.

The mere fact that these room specific pokemon exist go against your point.

Only a handful of Pokemon are room-specific.

And now you're just moving the goalposts by bringing in third parties. Not to mention they don't add to server lag.
>>
>>27447862
I don't think you understand what cherry picking. The idiom comes from the idea that when fruit are picked, the vast majority are discarded for the few perfect ones which are the ones sent to the stores to be purchased. Use of it means that someone is discarding the majority of something and using a minority to represent their position.
>>
>>27447192
The box thing that shows you which Pokemon are nearby is basically what the Pokedex in the game does.

You aren't about to fucking tell me that the Pokedex shows you the exact fucking tile that you have to walk on to get a specific Pokemon and you sure as hell know that shaking grass chaining is NOT the same as finding a specific Pokemon.
>>
>>27447989
This whole analogy has been flawed from the start. Ignoring that the game tells you to go to an exact area which you would then walk around in until you found it, which even when the footprints worked wasn't how it worked, the ground you have to cover to find a Pokemon in the game is, obviously, much much smaller than the ground you have to cover in real life. This analogy to the games just doesn't work and why it even came up in the first place is beyond me.

That's not what cherry picking means in the argumentative context anon.
To sum it up its purposely picking and choosing information that adheres to your viewpoint while discarding the ones that don't.
Majority and minority don't matter.

In any case the dex still has yet to show exact locations but rather the general area. Cherry picking the common pokemon that adhere to your point doesn't mean the pokemon that don't cease to exist.

I don't think even you understand what the definition is saying. The use of it implies (based on the definition saying that you "only take the best or most profitable") that you are taking something that is not the majority example. Another definition that's more clear from merriam-webster is "to choose only the best
people or things in a way that is not fair (usually in continuous tenses)". The implication of the idiom isn't to imply that someone who says "most of x is y" are cherry-picking even if x isn't always y. That's not how it works.

For the last time, cherry picking in this context has nothing to do with majority or minority. Just what's the best for the person doing it.

This is a simple enough concept to wrap your head around.
What part of the definitions even imply that "best" and "majority" are mutually exclusive?

Because when someone is saying "the majority of x is y" and it actually IS, it isn't cherrypicking. By that definition, almost everything ever would be cherrypicking because almost nothing functions in black and white absolutes. This could be cherrypicking right now because there probably are a few things that do. That is an absolutely absurd way to interpret that. The usageo f the phrase at all inherently implies the use of a minority as proof of something whilst ignoring proof to the contrary.

Because it's just coming off as pathetic.
Also you still haven't pointed to a point that implies the positive can't be the majority instead you've gone off on a completely unrelated tangent.

Hell the point of this argument is proof of that you're only cherry picking the pokemon that are extremely common because it's the best for your argument meanwhile the room/floor specific pokemon are being ignored because it completely invalidates your argument of the Pokedex showing exact locations.

As I said before this is a simple concept to grasp.
You could even sum it up as quality over quantity if you want.

Will I notice any difference in the time I play?
>>
What annoys me the most is how instead of working with these third party devs to come up with a solution that both works to help people locate Pokemon, but also doesn't skirt over the boundaries of cheating. They've decided to close it off entirely, despite not even having their own fixed.

What would be best is if sites like Pokevision could carry on doing what they do, just being less specific about where the pokemon are, it could even work as an app so you didnt ever have to have pokemon go open until you were nearby a pokemon. You'd simply walk around as normal, your phone would vibrate when you're within 100m of a pokemon. You pull your phone out, it tells you which ones and so you then decide to go hunting for it or not.

Simple, clean, and could've been done with the API third party sites until they manage to fix the three step glitch.


(ps - if any of you live near Niantic Labs, you should apply to be their Global Community Manager, there's a job offer on their page, and jesus h christ do they need someone working their social media right now.)

The irony because that's what you did in your previous post. You typed out a text wall to dance around the point.
I mean you still haven't found a point in any definition that backs up your interpretation.

>I don't even know where the positive/negative thing came from.
Best and worst for your argument can be called a negative or positive point. For example the common pokemon are positive for you while the specific ones are a negative. Same goes for good and bad.

>Just the intention of idiom is clear and that you're interpretation of it makes no practical sense
It does if you know what you're talking about which you clearly don't.
Your interpretation relies on the fact that something being the best for you can't be in the majority when the two aren't mutually exclusive and can occur at the same time.

You can't view things like that anon especially when your argument has been demolished by the minority.
Basically arguments don't work by the numbers like you think it does.

Gamefreak has been doing this for years, but it's less noticeable because they've reluctantly softened up over the gens.

>>
>>27448764
It's never been like that. I thought the same at first when I tried the same trick during the first week or two during the release. I saw incense swirling around me but no Pokemon were coming. It's a purely cosmetic thing and the things affected during that time stay only at that time because it registers with the servers when used.

Going "no, you, you did it first, you started it" is absolutely childish and I can't believe you keep doing it. I didn't "dance around" any point, and even if I had it doesn't make the fact that you did it any less true. That's why doing the "no, you" thing doesn't work. The definition you posted, and the second definition I found when I searched from merriam-webster was more clear on the intention of the idiom, but the point is still clear from the usage and intention of the one you posted.

What's "best" is best based on who's making the argument. I still have no clue where in the world you're getting "what's best can't be in the majority" from anything I'm saying. I dont' even know what you mean. There is no implication anywhere that I thought that because it makes no sense with anything I'm saying, and I think if there was you'd have quoted it considering all the quotes you did just now. I can't even wrap my head around what you even mean. The argument someone initially made was that "the majority of Pokemon have their exact location found in the Pokedex", someone else said that was "cherry picking" because there are some Pokemon that you can't. I don't understand what this has to do with what you're saying about me saying the best can't in the majority. Wouldn't the "best" in the context of this argument (that being the one that affirms it) be that most Pokemon are found exactly by the Pokedex be the majority? No argument has been "demolished by the minority" when the argument was "most Pokemon are found by the Pokedex by their exact location easily" and the minority was "some Pokemon aren't". That makes no sense.

Can's Running is similar to hide-and-seek except whomever's it has a "home base" called the "can" and when they spot someone they have to run back to the can and touch it while calling out the hider's name to knock them out of the game. Meanwhile the hiders are trying to sneak up on the can and touch it themselves. If a hider touches the can, that person wins, and if the person who's "it" finds everyone and knocks them out, that person wins.

It's a success brought by a retarded playerbase and phenomena that isn't any better than the selfie mania, ice bucket challenge and other shitty trends we had in past like planking, people playing the chicken game with trains and twerking.

It's more of a negative advertising for TPC, seruously, the collaboration with the wester company such as Google was a mistake.
They have no ethics in spreading pokestops and gyms around the cities without thinking twice about cemeteries, national and war monuments, religious places and private properties. They were only forced to do so after public and customers complaints.

Not only the landmine areas, but also WW2 nuke memorials and even the fucking restricted and no go areas around the Fukushima nuclear plant had pokestops and gyms.

Some of my relatives are also complaining about the costant noises under their windows at night due to retards catching pixels outdoors because they happen to live in a decently dense in monuments, buildings and squares area.
Not to mention several casuals joining the ride because of PGO being a free app.

I feel like Pokemon GO did more negative damage and advertising to TPG than positive views to its image.

Not to forget all the data Google will receive from you once again, doubt people who already use Facebook will care tho.

You are literally retarded and have no idea how anything in Go was made.
And as they say, there's no such thing as bad publicity.

M8..
>>
>>27450458
oh boy
those two lines sure showed me

>there's no such thing as bad publicity.

enjoy your call outs from the public and trials like with the kadabra guy
enjoy more censorship for some pokemon like porygon

TPC always cared about these issues, they did censorship for less such as the earthquake themed pokemon episodes or the ship sinking during the korean titanic period

they had to change registeel sprites, bellossom and jynx's skin color

you are just being overdefensive over a mediocre game that despite its success has launched another retarded trend among the people

you can even deny it but it's a fact at this point

i stand with any administration and government that decides to ban this app from their cities or countries
>>

You honestly have no idea how things work do you.

Plus half of this has nothing to do with what you were trying to say to begin with.

Niantic is taking down the plane with no survivors

Basically Niantic is Bane, but a dumber version
>>
>>27451081
Basically Niantic is getting all the third-party trackers (for finding Pokemon) out of the business even before having fixed their own broken tracking system.

>>27448232

>>27451081
Imagine you're playing Gen 1, only instead of Kanto, the game map is the size of the entire world.

Now imagine that only specific tiles will spawn an encounter at any given time. And the encounters are entirely random with no real logic behind them. You can find a Diglett out in the middle of the ocean for instance.

Now also imagine you have no idea where those tiles are, and they aren't common. And even if you manage to find one, it's almost definitely going to be a Pidgey or Weedle. You have no idea what's in the area whatsoever.

Oh, and sometimes catching a Pokemon crashes the game and occasionally your save data just gets entirely wiped for no reason.
>>
>>27444454
They removed footprints????
>>
>>27451081
Let's say a squirtle would be at a fire station 100 meters away from you. Your game would have a nearby tab saying there's a squirtle about 2 footsteps away from you and if you went the wrong way, it would go further down to 3, and if you got closer, it would go up to 1 footprint left until you eventually encountered it. A little game of hot or cold so you can find these rare Pokemon catches. Pokemon on the nearby tab could be anywhere from 1 meter away to ~150-200, and footsteps would indicate how big of a difference that is.

Footprints got removed. So now if you see a goddamned wild dragonite on your nearby tab, it's anywhere from 1 meter away to 200 meters away and you have no way of telling where that is.

>Today, I heard my sister talking about how enormously stupid it is that you have no idea where anything is now

As opposed to before, when the footprint system was 10/10?
>>
>>27451512
No, as opposed to before where you could at least use a third-party app to locate them since their shit was broken.

They need to partner with someone with more resources and strong management, not only they are overwhelmed they showed they have trouble reaching and listening their audience.
They used work with Google so that could be an option. Foursquare/swarm is uses local "check ins" so working with them might be interesting.
But what the engine in reality for the game is the player's local community/city. So somewhat like how ingress used user submitted locations, pogo should partly user-driven to keep stability.
Other it's just way to much content to control at once for Niantic and too much to promise.

How far away was three footprints, anyway? What was the effective radius that the game scanned for potential encounters?

1 kilometer.

>>27446578
I've walked 8 km today and seen one Pokemon. You'd have a point if there were just Pokemon everywhere. You must live in a privileged location. Without a means to track Pokemon, there is nothing to do in this game except hatch eggs and camp at lures

So how do I find pokemon?

Only things that pop up by chance, there's no way to track this snorlax for example.

And pokemon in here doesn't work like the game, there's no route 1.

You go outside and blindly look around I guess? I kind of compared Pokevision to a watered down RNG abuse method; both use external methods without directly manipulating the data to pinpoint where something you want is, both still gives the player an unrequited edge because both methods will let players accumulate better Pokemon faster than someone who is blindly encountering wild Pokemon/blindly walking around hoping they're going in the right direction.

You can just run around in the grass in the games and something will spawn every 3 seconds.

>>
>>27452396
I understand the difference between lazily clicking a button and physically traveling, they can't be compared. I just compared the methods they use; which is both pinpointing the data for you rather than you stumbling upon it yourself. And discovery and going outside is kind of the point of Pokemon GO? Even if you don't like it- which I also understand how you wouldn't like it and how it can be unfair. They need to develop better/easier methods, because it's not fun sitting there with hundreds of a single Pokemon.

Considering that people are getting refunds from GO purchases through Apple (which each purchase they take a small percentage of) Its more than certain Apple is going to want to do something about it now that they are losing revenue from the app.
