As usual, Niantic has released some details on their next update for Pokémon GO!
This time around the latest update to their popular mobile game will make adjustments to the Combat Power of several Pokémon: increasing the CP of Pokémon such as Alakazam, Rhydon, and Gengar (mentioned specifically), and lowering the CP of other, unspecified Pokémon.
In the words of Niantic, “These changes will allow a more balanced and competitive battling and training experience in Gyms. We will continue to adjust the CP going forward to improve the game balance when necessary.”
No word on an official list of all the effected Pokémon, however if you open up the app the changes to CP have already been implanted! Check out Niantic’s official blog for their full statement!
In addition to this, in celebration of Thanksgiving, starting November 22nd users will be able to enjoy a week of double XP and Stardust!
Who cares about Go
I caught a Jolly Buzzwole
I will never get over that name
What’s Pokémon Go again?
Wait when was this game announced? When did it come out again?
I’m kidding I still like this game
I haven’t launched this game in months. A game I have played a little bit recently is Pokémon Sun. I just finished the UB side quest, it was extremely fun. I just found out that Celesteela is exclusive to Moon though…I have Moon as well, but it will be a while until I want to start a new Alola playthrough. There’s also a reward at the end, make sure you commit…
What is this Pokeyman go
Put Snorlax on this list or I quit!!!
Lol I still haven’t finished sun…. So busy… But today that will change!!!
Shoot, I just got swept by Hau’s Raichu. That was completely unexpected lol.
That’s the thing about there games. They give you problems just as you’re getting comfortable. It keeps you on your toes lol
It’s a ton of fun when it’s like that. Definitely better than XY which held your hand through the entire game and had zero difficulty.
Also they aren’t focusing on the right things IMO. The fun was never in the battles for me, it was in the collecting and hunting.
So fix the d*mn tracker Niantic!! It’s been MONTHS!!
Pokemon GO stuff huh? Ok…… whatever. Lol Anyway! Ugh……I’m at work right now and then immediately after I have to go to a shoot and that’ll go until only god knows……I wanna play Pokemon tho!!! I’m about to take on Mallow’s trial. Once again I just gotta say I love this game!! Lol
Hey can someone who can breed in gen 7 test something for me? It could be quite interesting to some.
Could someone breed a starter with a male in their egg group caught in a different ball and see if it passes down at all. Also can someone try both a Male and Female in different Balls with a Ditto? I want to know how Pokéball inheritance works in gen 7 after some rumours I’ve read. If Males can pass them without Ditto we may be able to have things like Safari Ball Rowlet, Dream Ball Popplio or Sport Ball Litten etc.
Yessss. Love it.
Have you tried it?
Nope. Just hoping it’s true. Sorry. Haha I feel like fixing any gaps relating to passing down PokéBalls through breeding need fixed. Mainly because most competitive players don’t breed, they just hack for their team or someone else does for them. And regardless of how one feels about that, its dumb that some people get harassed when their Aegislash is illegally in a Dream Ball despite the Aegislash’s stats being 100% legal.
My only issue is if the Male and Female Pokéball don’t match and you’re trying for a shiny offspring in a specific Pokéball you may end up with the wrong one. Which is why I want to test it so much.
Eh. I kinda got bored of Pokemon GO. If they add Johto Pokemon I’m sure that I’ll start playing it again.
So the wild Pokemon levels are higher than my team levels. Um.
totem mimikyu is tough…and i completely forgot about its disguise, and used my z move first turn
The perfect follow up to Pokémon Sun and Moon
GO?
Every time there’s a Pokemon GO article the comments are super predictable lol. It’s always “add Johto”, “fix the tracker”, “nobody plays this game anymore”.
But seriously fix the tracker. xD
i still enjoy playing GO, but ive got good mons of most types, so i only catch a select few while i wait
My issue is that I’ve already caught all of them that aren’t exceedingly rare (Charizard, Dragonite, etc.) so it’s no fun for me to play anymore.
I just caught an Omastar yesterday. I don’t play religiously, so I can drag out what it’s worth.
There’s no point for me to play it when I’ll only get some fun out of it on a very rare occasion, but it was a ton of fun when it first released.
Yeah. I was hoping that they would release gen 2 sooner.
Plus it’ll be cold out when they do release it (at least in my area) so it’ll be less fun than it was in summer.
Yeah. But with Illinois’ crazy weather, you never know XD
Oh yeah, I forgot you live there too. You’re right about that. xD
I don’t think gen 2 is really going to be as fun as people are hoping it will be. 11/100 gen 2 pokemon are just evolutions for gen 1 pokemon, 8/100 are baby pokemon for gen 1 pokemon, and 6/100 are legendaries (meaning we won’t get them at release, if ever). So that’s only 73 new pokemon to catch and a lot of them are part of a line 😛
Benefits of Thanksgiving break week:
1) More time to play Moon.
2) More time to play Moon.
3) More time to play Moon.
4) More time to play Moon
And
5) More time to play Moon.
If only that were true.
What do you mean?
I have to work 3/5 days I’m off for break, I have 4 papers due in the next 2 weeks, and my sister is coming into town. I doubt I’ll have much time for S/M 🙁
Yeah… I can see it now.
I’m an 8th grader so….
Oh my god. You’re the same age as my youngest sibling.
I remember those days. Cherish them. Everything will turn to shit one day
@Green don’t listen to Ultron. Yes, there are a variety of ways in which the realities of adulthood will disenchant your perception of life and the world. But there is always something worth being happy about.
You realize I’m joking? I’d rather not go back in time to 8th grade even if my life is difficult right now (which it’s really not, I just have a lot going on). But, do cherish your childhood.
Good lol But man you never know. Nostalgia for one’s childhood can really jade some people towards the present. Sorry <3
I’m enjoying a nine day break right now.
I feel so lucky because I’m the only school in the entire city that is off today and tomorrow.
I only have a 5 day break starting Wednesday.
That’s what most of my area has too. It’s not by any means bad, but I just have a little extra.
You forgot 6.
6) More time to play Moon.
How could I have forgotten the most important one??
Make it 7) More time to play Moon.
Lucky you! You people get a week off for Thanksgiving, and us Canadians only got a 4 day weekend in October :/
We have Trump… you have Trudeau… You win, even with a 4 day break instead of a week long one…
Hehe yeah, we do. Even the worst Canadians, Kellie Leith, who says she “shares” values of Trump, at least she said she’s not racist.
Well, just having Trudeau you win at everything
That’s a good one, having Trudeau isn’t perfect and is the opposite.
Actually, what you just said is the exact opposite!
😉
😉
Well, you know what they say about people who claim to not be racist…
Funny thing is that far-right parties are usually the ones who boast about democracy. They’re using it as a defence on their things.
I don’t get it.
It’s not a full week. It’s 5 days starting Wednesday
OH
For me it’s more time to play Sun : D
Something I find interesting: Hau refers to the aether paradise as “a branch” of the AF in Alola. Does this mean we might see more if it really is just a branch?
If I timetravel in the game (I played at 15h, but it’s almost 22h now and I don’t want to play at night), will it change anything? (I’m still in the beginning, trainer’s school)
I don’t think so, BUT you can’t time travel for time based events. For instance, if there’s no crabrawler in the berry patches, then you can’t change the date to find one, you actually have to wait that out.
Is it gonna affect catching these? (the 6th one should be wimpod) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d1f44942403b591bc7fc195e268821f5bfae2c07fa008b04e11c2b867f0ad9f5.png
Nope, you should be fine!
Also I wish you luck with your Salandit hunt. *shudders*
Poekoko told me that the first Salandit he encountered was a female.
Lucky. My friend had the same happen to him. I kid you not, it took me two dedicated hours to find a female.
My popplio was female and timid right away without having to reset so I hope I’ll be lucky again
I hope so too!
took 4 tries to take out the mimikyu trial, damn
That was actually one of the easiest for me.. but I think I over leveled haha
im pretty sure i was underleveled. Gonna have to grind a little now
I baited on ‘mon in order to take out its Disguise and then Z-Moved with Primarina for game. haha
i basically did the same, but incanaroar’s z move left it with like 5 hp
I’ve lost three battles so far. I’m so glad this game is difficult. From the trailers and such I expected this to be as easy as XY, but that’s definitely not the case. I’d say they’re up there with the likes of gen 4.
i still play the go of pokemon
You and two people probably.
im not part of the cool kids club
I am the other of the two
And my mom is the third. xD
Seriously, she’s extremely dedicated to GO, it’s so weird.
So is there really no way to buy apricorn balls in S/M?
Maybe we’ll see Gold and Silver on eShop next year, being the reason GF put the apricorn balls in the game.
Hm…interesting theory
Noob question: can ditto pass down pokeballs?
No?
Ugh. The apricorn ball thing sucks now.
No
Shoot.
Maybe. Monkeyfuzz says there are rumors that it’s a yes now.
Oh, I misinterpreted that comment then.
I’m intrigued.
It requires testing. If they can’t it may be that males can. In which case when Bank is released I will be able to breed any gendered Pokémon in almost any ball. If genderless can now pass them with Ditto I will work on catching those available in HGSS in them and try to collect the remaining Genderless Dream Ball ones.
When is official art expected for the remaining pokemon?
Didn’t they reveal all of the official art the day of release with gen 6? Maybe they’re waiting until Wednesday.
arent the art usually in the guide book?
Not always. The XY guide book was SUPER incomplete, it was missing text, had many errors, and most annoying of all, didn’t have any art for Pokemon that weren’t revealed before release.
oh thats just dumb
Yeah that’s why I’m not risking it this time.
who needs a guide book when u got serebii lol
I remember the Platinum guidebook I bought for $20 was 4x as big the cruddy X&Y one was. They used to be cool, now they’re not worth it
yep guide books these days suck… except the skyrim one
That guide book was literally what convinced me to blow all money for a DS and Platinum
It’s a great book!
Lol help me I’ve ordered the special edition guide book that costs 65£… (I sort of collect them so it makes sense, but honestly I hope it has decent content…)
I was pissed about that cause I bought it -_-
What guide book?
the sun and moon one
They are holding the art hostage in the guidebook. You must buy it for exorbitant prices as Nintendo has dictated.
