WE AREN'T GOING TO MAKE IT HOLD ME

>>30387967
We still have 13 days and SM have sold almost 4 million copies

We'll make it

>>30388085
Doesnt that mean we'd have to catch 5 million pokemon each if everyone participated?

>>30388085
They sold 7 million now.

Over a million in one day. 13 days left. Eh. It's still doable.

>>30388107
Are you retarded?

>>30388107
If the goal was 20 trillion

>>30388085
it's only counting people who use game sync, so i'd be surprised if the participation count was more than 500k. plus i'm sure not all of them are even actively participating

even if all 500k participated that would require 200 captures each

>>30388216
I've almost done my part.

>>30387967
Maybe they'll lower their expectations or offer a better reward for next time.

>this was announced the day after completed my living dex

Sorry guys, I'm going to sit this one out

>>30387967
If it counted bred pokemon this shit would go a lot faster, since most of the hyper-autistic people are already done catching mons for the dex and have moved on to mass breeding, leaving mostly only the casuals to pick up the slack (which implies that casuals even think to use Game Link).

100 million from casuals is too much.

>>30387967
I am pretty sure I caught one Pokémon since I joined the event. This shoulda started day 1.

It's about 35k /hour. If normies got their gamesync accounts we could do it . I've got 105 caught so far but work 9-5 .-.

>>30387967
This challenge is the reason why I'm catching every single wild pokemon instead of fainting them

I've gotten some nice surprises from them too, like a Bold Hydration Wingull and a max speed IV Jolly Rockruff, so it isn't a complete waste

>>30388429
yup i'm a casual. i just arrived at the 3rd island. last i checked i had contributed 15 to the global mission. catching only pokemon i dont have. i'm in no hurry.

It's doable but only if you do your bit just buy a ton of Quick Balls and spam them in the early routes.

>>30387967
Reminder that the numbers aren't updated in real time

I caught 30. I feel I did my part.

>>30388888
Yeah, especially if you don't have your synchronizer Abra army yet

checked by the way, Mr. Quints

>>30387967
>it's a "game dev drastically overestimates their playerbase's ability to reach a certain number within a strict deadline" episode again

>>30387967
I was gonna participate but it seems like too much of a hassle to sign up. Is there gonna be any actual benefit?

>>30387967
It's litterally impossible.

Anyone know if eggs count or is it strictly wild pokemon?

Also they really should've released this mission earlier, S/M's honeymoon period isn't gonna last very long.

>>30389035

wild pokemon only

>>30388999
It would be completely doable if it did not require global link

>>30387967
It isn't worth it to go through the trouble of using the Poke Festival.

What's the reward, anyways? Is it just more fucking FC?

>>30388107
Justin Timberlake in Friends With Benefits

>>30389129
Yes. 100 if you participate at all, and 2000 if you participate and the goal is met.

>>30389059
That's shitty. With the amount of autistic breeders (including myself) then the goal of 100 million would be more realistic.

Ah, well. What can you do? Looks like I'm gonna have to grind thise 2000 coins with Type Matchup missions if I wanna buy a second five star Rare Kitchen.

Is this "tragedy of the commons: the game"?

>Global Link
Yeah, no thanks.
I'd rather not make every time I connect to the internet take twice as long, especially since you removed the ability to turn it on and leave it that way.

if you could catch pokemon in sos battles the fucking goal should be done in hours

2000 is a pretty weak incentive tbqh.

>>30389305
Worst part is that if you have to disconnect and reconnect for some reason, it STILL spends the time syncing up, only to tell you 2 minutes later "Can't sync because you just did that!", and THEN loads the internet shit.

>>30389205
Yeesh. It's bad enough that you only get FC as a reward, but only 2,000 IF the goal is met? That's just lame.

Should I bother catching more pokemon? The number doesn't increase

>>30389418
Nah, you've done more than 90% of people actively participating will do anyway.

No one knows that syncing exist gg gamefrick

>>30389019

Is it? How are the numbers handled? Can you get the game to tell the server "Oh, yeah, I just caught 1 billion Pokémon"

>sign into Game Sync
>check out how much I've contributed
>only the ones I've caught after logging in count so I only have 2
FUCK OFF, I HAVE LIKE 100 MONS

Do i have to catch them or can i hatch them?

Someone goofed by not making this 10million...and not letting bredding count.

prepare to not be able to use WT for a few weeks with all the shitmons this will get there

>>30388414
This was the real issue. Had they launched the mission closer to release, they would've had everyone filling up their PC from going through the game, instead of how it is now.

>>30389565

Yeah this should have been a launch event. Or at least count pokemon caught since launch

>>30389601
Catch only

How do you actually take part in this? Do you have to sign up on the pokemon website and whatnot?

>>30389675
yes

How many mons do we need to catch for the 2k reward?

>>30389741
100,000,000

99 million more.
We're 1% of the way there boys!

I have faith in crazy elevens

>>30388216
I completed my pokedex like the day before this event was announced. No way am I going to go grind pokes I don't need

>>30389816
DO IT

>>30389816
yeah the fact that catching wild pokemon is more or less pointless doesn't help

maybe if you want dittos or synchronize-abras of various natures, that's the only reason i can think of

>>30388130
Anon, it's been nearly 48 hours since that mission started.

>>30389783
>>30389789
Well, I'm gonna keep catching route 1 mons and WTing.
Atleast I'm doing my part.

Tip for people who are actually going out their way to help with this.

You can get unlimited free Premier Balls by selling back your Pokeballs in the thrift mart.

>>30389816
Exactly same boat here. Finished my living dex of the new pokemon and now MMing for stuff I want. If it counted hatches I would be golden.

this event is making me hate SOS

>>30388107
