Did you catch unknown and heracross

Very common.
Event organizers under estimate what capacity they need.
I’ve never been to a large scale event with proper coverage. They always cutting corners on expenses, never having over capacity. It was doomed to fail.

On other note; my phone gave me 6 warnings for the Go World event and all I had in my area were 6 Hoothoots. I miss Pidgey and Ratata =(

Can we put F for respect in the chat

Seriously tho what did you expect, Niantic have managed to fuck up everything since the launch of the game - I was gonna be surprised if the event went smoothly…

I kinda think they should have done player versus player pokemon battles and trading first instead of releasing the legendaries.

don’t think they’ll introduce trading personally…people would exploit the system

As long as there are spoofers you cant introduce trading

why?

UPDATE: They are offering all 20,000 people refunds, $100 worth of poke coins and Lugia in our pokedex by the end. Diameters have been expanded to two miles away from the park so anyone with the QR code can play outside of Grand Park until Monday.

I’m writing this as I get signal and lose signal. Also, there are no wifi stations at the event. We have been surviving on ATT wifi at the corner of the main stage gym :confused:

do you get the lugia? or is it jsut a pokedex registration? must be so sad. especially for those who travel long distances for this event.

Somewhere a Niantic IT guy is saying “I knew we should’ve set up a WLAN for the event.”
