When they introduced the remote pass, I started spending $100 weekly. We had 3 consistent players in our comm, unless we drive 40+ minutes to the city. So the 3 of us could invite up to 5 others and typically have 5-7 players in raids. It was the best. Then they nerfed the remote pass. Raised the price and limited the amount you can even use. Well its amazing how much money they have saved me by doing that. I was so addicted to playing it never bothered me I was spending a car payment on a game every month. But I was not the only one I was in groups from other countries. But sadly Niantic decided they did not like $ after all, so they killed our groups by killing remote content.

Group of max 4 people. Some actual strategy to beat. Great idea. Why turn this into an Elite Mega Rayquaza day? Why even design the UI for groups of 4 if you need 20 people? :(

Gigantamax is difficult but getting 25k per raid was great and I did it with 6 people but we had maxed out Pokemon edit: I hope in the next Pokemon game coming out their will be new content released with Pokemon go as well

Hopefully one day they lower the amount of people needed. 😢

They should have released just one of the kanto g-max boss, not all three. That way we could have built pokemon effectively rather than having to build three rushed ones. And as i type this, you mention it 😂

Thank you for the video and the well thought out explanation of opinions. I definitely agree with quite a lot of the points made. I wanted to share my biggest friction in the game recently as well. Generally speaking if you want to play the newest group content (max, shadow raids, remote raid changes, etc) you 99% likely need to leave the game app. I find the play cycle I fall in is open pokemon go, minimize pokemon go, open campfire, then try to plan to play when others are playing (if there are even others). there is a ton of friction in that process with quite a few "broken rules" of marketing namely retention marketing's #1 rule of "keep them here". I believe this has been a bigger trend of Niantic that d-max g-max is highlighting. Intrinsic vs extrinsic value motivators and the friction points of how they deliver play. I appreciate your content with messaging like "if you're not having fun with a game, spend your time elsewhere". It can take a LOT of motivation to go through all those steps and I regularly "give up" half way through bc I need to do real life things as priority, I don't see the value in a release/event, or I am just not having fun in that play loop. Which is absolutely fine. I like this game a lot, I want to love it, but I find myself at odds with game mechanics or decisions bc it undermines my capacity of play. Certainly as a casual player I try to find a balance in how or when I engage with the game but certainly there's an honest friction of not being able to engage with the game when I am in a place I want to or am capable of. Logistics will always be a big friction point no matter what game or industry. I've been fortunate to play at go fest or in heavily populated places like NYC but even living a 30 min drive out of NYC there are huge "gaps" in people available to play. Coordinating 20 people, hopping on / off the event group, traveling to / from a meetup even in the best of cases is really difficult. That is not a flexible cycle that can fit a lot of people's "play schedules". So it becomes a friction point and ultimately leads to "not having fun, so not gonna play". This is where game development has made choices to those means then asking the community to fill in a lot of those games. Thank you for coming to my teddiursa talk.

"It was about as epic as tapping a phone screen can get!" I love this! I found your pointed rant about community engagement (willingness) to be satisfying. As a gamer coming from WoW, I hadn't thought about the similarity to MMORPG games that involve group strategy and planning, but I totally agree. I hosted 2 groups on Campfire, one yesterday and another today, and we were able to get the G-Max's down with 10 people by the end, although there were a lot of people cheering, lol. I found this a stark contrast to the previous weekend, where we banged out heads against the wall for hours, unable to get any done (Sunday was different - more people, more strategy, but I wasn't able to make it). Going from that to leading local groups wouldn't have been possible if not for that MMORPG experience, and something else? Persistence, perseverance, the expectation that failing a bunch of times is okay? I don't know what to call it, but this weekend, we weren't going to give up, and if anybody didn't want to interact with the group, that was totally fine. We actually always had people off on the sidelines playing "solo." Great perspective today. Thank you for this passionate content. While I will disagree with the multiple accounts, maybe Niantic could use the data they've collected to see how many players are in any given area, and add some NPC's that jump in with people during raids or G-Max battles? It would take some serious work for a feature like that, but it could be fun. Still, I've been rescued by trainers with multiple accounts enough times that I'm not going to look down on anybody.

Did one max raid and the damn thing ran , I was pissed , I didn’t get much more hope after cause me and 10 others kept getting that same glitch so I just did my daily snd went home , it’s cool to see more stuff happening but man they have to fix these bugs that happen to often it’s making me scared to even attempt a raid but good video keep em coming sir knowledge king 👑👻

Ah yes the king returns with more knowledge 🙏🙏🗣️🗣️❤️

I agree with everything you said!

Could not agree more that raids should be insta catch.

calling anything raiding or catching related endgame is rather strange. once you've caught everything, finished every platinum medal and every collection, the only remaining true endgame is PVP in GBL... if Niantic would take better care of the gamestate

I think for Kanto starters we shouldve got a special research with a Gmax Starter which we then would use to beat its weakness then use that to get the other weakness ie Charizard to get Venusaur to get Blastoise.

OMG im an idiot!!!! I was sooo friggin confused why every Zorua was TINY! NOW I GET IT!!! DUH 🙄😂😂

It's not an end game because newbies in large cities can join the 40 person lobby and get gigentamax mon.

finally a guy with common sense.Very well articulated.

L take

I am fortunate to live in an area with an active community ambasador in Campfire. He has been posting group events that have brought large clusters of people to do the Giganttttttamax battles. Large enough that we encountered some police who feared we were forming up to riot. Groups over 140 eople. It feals a bit like I heard the first few weeks were like. I started the game in 2018, and getting a group of more than 20 together has been something of legend until Gigantamax. I don't know if this is sustainable, even in my active commuity area.

The End Game. Spoof to a big city and finish the game.

You should quite your being a bitching Betty and your entire point is invalid

The combat System is very Bad. Had more gigantamax fights today. We have all won. But i had fights there i lose 0 HP and fights there i get 1 hit. To evate an attack its pure luck if you want Dodge it. I hope they will fix it.

Your defective

It's cheating because you can because best friends then lucky and keep self trading lucky legendary you should stop your the reason Niantic has so many little stupid rules

Be better if your not good enough you don't deserve to catch it you don't deserve a raid boss

Couldn't agree with you more on every point. Had so much fun. I can really only here the pleas of of rural players I suppose, but this brought my smaller community out and about so often, made it a real challenge and therefore a more fun experience. I also agree so heavily with the point about how large streamers were interacting with the system -- couldn't really believe it when I saw it. Thanks for the vid!

I have mix feeling with max raids. That feature has a lot of potential and to be honest, I think it's already better than regular raids. It needs some strategy, coordination with other players and requires different amount of max particles to enter the raid, depending on the raid tier. Comparing to regular raids, where you just need some strong pokemon, mindlessly taping the screen and on top of that you use the same raid pass to get into the raid, despite its tier. At the same time I'm completely disappointed that my entire storage means nothing now. I've been playing since the very beginning of the game and there is nothing more discouraging to me than telling, that I have to start everything almost from scratch. Before, I was able to help casual players or new players with low level accounts to do the raids. Now, unless I powerup a pokemon that I don't want to powerup (because I already have it a hundo at Lv50, with a special move, max mega level etc.) my progress means nothing more than the progress on an account of a random kid that has started to play the game a week ago. I want max raids be the true end game content - even more difficult that the initial launch of gigantamax starters, but letting me go all out with all of my pokemon. Instead of being the team leader and helper, I've got nerfed into a newbie. I'm not gonna engage into that.

The video below pretty much sums up what I think of Gigantamax Pokémon. The feature is amazing, but due to it being so isolated and polarizing, I haven't bothered with it yet, and I probably never will. ua-cam.com/video/ydLN3oWi2o0/v-deo.htmlsi=VM9ejy8Kdk6iOVLG

Niantic bumps up the difficulty slightly and everyone loses their minds. Coming from an RPG fan I love the new battle system. Every game has an end game content and this is Niantics version of it. People don’t wanna spend their resources and be carried through the game. I’m just speaking about communities who have enough people and still couldn’t beat it. Excellent video!

I especially hate it when shills defend Niantic that Raid Boss encounters are simply Bonus Encounters and not the real reward for defeating the Raid Boss. Especially with the Max Battles now, I want to see these shills seethe.

It’s bad but thankfully it isn’t relevant.

Definitely not doable if you want to remain solo. As it is we were able to do it with 25ish. Id love the ability to remote these so i can play as much as i want but as a general feature its fun

I loved this video, this is actually the first one I've seen from your channel and I'm thoroughly impressed at the content and it's delivery. I couldn't agree more about your point at around 6:30, same trainers have enough dust and candy to roar of time for 24 hours for videos, but didn't want to spend anything powering up lol.

you have genuinely became my favorite pokemon go content creator this format of video feels like i’m sitting down with a friend and just debriefing together about the game and our experiences with current events going on really thankful the algorithm led me to your channel you truly have something unique and i can tell you have alot of passion for creating these videos and it’s obvious you have passion and love for the game and it shows in the content you make thanks so much for taking the time to invest into creating such informative videos i always learn so much hope you and your family had a fun and safe halloween!! 🎃

there should have been progress with dynamax. going from 3star max battle that can be done solo to a 6star where 40 people fail is ridiculous. you need to let people build up a comfortable roster. it's like having primal raids in 2016... it would just be impossible. also raid days give you extra passes, this should have been done here as well. we get 800 to 1000 particles. i can power up pokemon and raid with different items. DM and GM you need to use the same. imagine you can power up your mewtwo only by feeding it a raid pass...

We couldn’t find anyone to do raids with, but we started to engage and join a community and now we made friends and meet up and do everything together. That’s what this game is made for

i want solo end game content tbh

thing is the end game content should be accessible to everyone

Gmax battles at worst for new players and way bad for Small community

I lost 1 gmax gengar today , most of the throws were excellent even though I lost it, i dont think they reduced the difficulty

good video, but doubtful I will ever do one
