Maybe notify people too (RAID STARTING WITH 10 TRAINERS! 2 MINUTES TO GO!). Or make it so the counter turns red if people are going into the raid. And then add a voting feature of when to start the raid (make it like 2/3 need to say "yes" to the raid starting). It can be totally anonymous (no names, just X trainers at Y average level), and people can play in their car/office/hide around the corner, etc as long as you can make a guess as to roughly how many people are there. Idk why a basic "X number of trainers interested!!" counter couldn't be implemented in a few days. It's tedious to keep up with the local discord(s) (yep my area had like 3-4 of them at various times.), the various Facebook messenger chats, the dozen or so random Facebook groups, etc.Īnd that still doesn't guarantee you that anyone will show interest for a raid, since for all you know you looked at the wrong chat and people are actually planning on doing it, or there's a group there that's not in any of your chats but off on their own. ![]() I stopped playing a year ago because of this. Nothing Niantic has done with this game leads me to believe they would want to do make this change, but I think it's a good compromise between urban and rural gameplay, and it doesn't require an in-game chat or raid "interest flare" function. But it also rewards multiplayer group play with better rewards. Maybe there's a maximum time limit such as 20 or 30 minutes to beat the boss just so people don't get stupid about how long it takes them.ĭoing this allows solo players to rifle through 50-100 of their own Pokemon *if they want to*, and they'll still get a chance to capture the boss at the end. Repeat this pattern a few times until you get down to taking 5 or 6 minutes or longer to beat the boss, where you get the lowest count and lowest quality items for beating the boss. If you beat it within some slightly longer amount of time (whatever the above minimum is, 1 or 2 minutes, plus 1 minute), then you get slightly fewer or slightly lower quality items for beating it compared to beating it in the fastest window. Probably this just looks like the current raid rewards. ![]() If you beat it within some amount of time (1 or 2 minutes), you get the best quality and highest quantity of items you can get for beating that tier boss. This way, players with small local player communities can still give Tier 4 and 5 bosses a shot, but players who are well set up to do big group raids can still be rewarded for beating the boss faster with their multiplayer strategy. In conjunction with this, reward items to winning players based on how fast they beat the boss. Basically: remove the time limit for beating a raid Boss. ![]() If these tools just aren't enough, your best bet is to connect with other players through these groups.My alternative suggestion is to change the raid timer from a countdown timer to a count up timer. These groups often have active Facebook Messengers Groups and Discord Chats, where you can connect with other local players who share locations of rare Pokémon spawns, Raids, coveted Research tasks, and more. ![]() Many social platforms, such as Facebook and Reddit, run local Pokémon Go communities. Namely, the best thing you can do for real-time information on Pokémon Go is to connect with other local players. While there will never be the number or quality of tools for Pokémon Go players as existed in its early days, there are still other options. Maybe, for some reason or another, these tools just aren't cutting it for you. It's easy to see why they are the go-to authority on all things Pokémon Go. Their site offers more information on Pokémon Go than any other I've ever found, and the people running it from all around the world are some of the most knowledgeable and dedicated players in the game. Pokemon Go 's next special five- star raid is now on, and trainers are going to need to have ice in their veins in order to catch this legendary Pokemon. Plus, there's an unofficial League Map that provides locations for real-world meet-ups of all varieties. In addition to their comprehensive Pokédex and countless guides on Pokémon Go, they have a map that has all the Nest locations with both confirmed and rumored Nest spawns. Saving the best for last, The Silph Road has remained the biggest and best-organized site for Pokémon Go players to collaborate.
