I got a remind me message of this thread 5 years ago “What do you think/hope the game will look like in 5 years?”

Very interesting reading the comments and some of the predictions. Although to be fair, no one could have predicted the Scopley merger and the effects it would have on the game.

The Fashion Raid Day did not work at all for many people in many countries. I know majority of people played the game with no issues but there were multiple threads from people who did not have the event active for them.

It's been few days now and I don't see Niantic/Scopely referencing it or saying that they are aware. Usually they do the "Trainers, we are aware and working on it" type of post, but I don't see anything from them.

I don't know how they can help affected trainers as it seemed like a very random bug that hit many trainers but this is not a small thing and I really hope we get some info soon, at least that they are working on a way to figure out what happened and help the affected trainers...

I got my second forever friend today. I checked their listed pokemons and realised they must be pretty hard core player. I don't have too much to offer, maybe some random shinies and non-shiny legendaries (i don't get to go out and play often bcz of my strict family). Most normal shiny they're offering are stuff I already have or stuff I'm not too interested in... but I don't wanna select their shiny legendaries since they already have shiny versions of the non shiny ones I have tagged, I've seen people on reddit complaining about this so I kinda feel scared to even ask for anything. I think I'm gonna wait to see if they're interested in any of my mons? i don't think they'd like any of those tho as I said they already have shiny versions of those.

I don't want them to think I'm intentionally lowballing them or something I just really don't have dupe shiny legendary that I could trade. Although I tagged my shiny azelf but that's pretty common for raiders I think? hopefully they don't remove me as a friend, they're a really great friend who always joins my remote raids as I'm pretty rural

I've use the confirmed lisf of Pokemon currently available from Serebii/Bulbapedia

When my inventory fills up (1-3x / day) I've always quickly swiped through my "!#" (not tagged) mons. You could see IVs very easily because it was still image that I just swiped through. This past week I've noticed that there is an animation for the IV bar. Its like a loading bar that stops at their IV level. The annoyance, for me, is that I can't quickly scroll through mons anymore, I have to let the IVs load for each mon. Since my current inventory holds ~150 I find myself spending significant time scrolling through something that literally used to take seconds. Anyone else experience this? Anyone know if you can turn it off?!
