There's this Pokéstop/Gym near me which seems inappropriate. Can I report it?

Use this link. However, Niantic seems to be preoccupied with other things now, so don't expect too much.

We have Niantic representatives on both here and /r/TheSilphRoad - please do not ping them for bugs which are in the known issues page unless you have found a niche yet gamebreaking issue/exploit.


Where can I find other players in my area?

Complaint Salty Sunday - Rage Rants and complaints

1 Upvotes

Have you been the one missing the Mewtwo EX raidpass?

Maybe you haven't been lucky the whole week and that damn raid Tyrannitar ran and everyone else caught him.

Or the worst part, maybe it's monday again?!

(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

Here we rant about everything that goes wrong, someone who sniped a gymspot (  ̄Д ̄), a missed Tyrannitar again (ಠ_ಠ) or that stupid bug which made you miss your raid because of the server desync, ending the raid prematurely (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ

No personal insults, no trolls and provocation but all salty stuff is accepted.

  • Only salty posts allowed ( ಠ_ಠ )

  • No uncivilty or personal information allowed. ☜(`o´)

  • Complaints can be posted here as well, agree that stuff needs to change here as well, like the spawn rate or gym bugs.

(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

Don't forget to hydrate after all the salt!

Complaint @Niantic, nobody likes Burmy. Wtf are they making up 90% of spawns?

1.5k Upvotes

Seriously, nobody like these fucking multicoloured bouncy seed pod MFRS. Every time I open pogo now, all I see if fucking burmy everywhere. They serve no use. They aren't meta, they aren't strong, they aren't cool. The only thing they are good for is wasting pokeballs. We all seen them before. Caught ten thousand of the motherfuckers. It's boring and infuriating. Give us something new and/or different. Rotate in some pokemon that haven't been in tha game for a while. Ffs keep your player base interested.

/rant.

I know, it's nothing too special, but I'm still happy about it, as I haven't seen any of the Galarian birds in a while. Caught with an ultra ball. :)

I caught my very first NUNDO (that I'm aware of). I played sporadically since launch (2016 - 2020) and then seriously since November. I cannot know whether I caught a nundo back then. But, this is my first one in the last 8,000 or so catches.
