      Imagine being an artist and instead of painting what you're passionate about, and creating your own vision, you constantly placate and pander to the masses, and let them dictate what your works of art are going to look like. This is what we're asking Niantic to do when we scream "HEAR US NIANTIC!" ... I think their leadership (and Pokemon Co. of course), view the game as "their work of art," and as such, don't want to be told what to do, how to make their game, or how to present it to us, be it PVP, or anything else game-related.

      ​@@Bluebloods7But some of the things they're doing is affecting the game negatively. Take the remote raids and pass nerfs last year. From what I've seen, not only did Niantic suffer a major financial blow and fire over 200 people and close a shop in Los Angeles, but a lot of players are now playing and raiding less. I noticed that here in Namibia. We use to be a large community separated by distance 8n different towns. We'd used to do a lot of raids together, especially during raid hours or events. Now, most have quit.

    Great video! It's none of Niantic's business HOW people spend their own money (remotes)! That's one of Niantic's problems - trying to control us. And their answers are less then genuine. I'll say it for the hundredth time - if this wasn't Pokemon, it would have died yrs. ago. Thanks Zoe and Daxi for taking the time to make this. :)

    I think you're doing an incredible job diversifying your content, bro. Genuinely. I think this convo is centered around the exact thing that you're doing the best you can to avoid - burnout. Doing fan meetups to spark your love for a time again, streams, playing battles, taking advantage of short form content to get easy info out that you just already know and doesn't Inherently burn you out to just... Tell a camera. Keep it up fam it's obvious your love has moved from pogo game --> content creation. Don't let the game which made u find the love of content creation deter you from keeping going! Continue to diversify and keep it fresh, and you'll keep your own mental fresh simultaneously. You're doing great if nobody's told you already, my guy!

    Really enjoyed the chat between you and Zöe. I have been playing since the beginning. After my account reached Level 40, I started a second account. I'm now at levels 47 and 45. This weekend, I played Community Day and after an hour, I thought, "Why the heck am I still playing?" Part of the reason is that I have a lot of time and money invested. Another part is the nostalgia of the original Gameboy Red.

    I personally don’t think they should have ever implemented remote raids. Before Covid my town had a community with 20-30 members consistently raiding, but since remotes were introduced every time I send a message in the group chat if anyone responds it’s “I’ll just remote it”
    I so rarely ever see anyone besides my personal friend circle in person.
    I don’t think incentivizing in person raids is enough to get people out, because I assumed mega rayquaza would be enough motivation for people to come out yet I saw 1 single person out of all four timeslots
    My friends are more casual than I am so we couldn’t trio him, and we only got one from the last timeslot because some guy showed up
    Remote raids promote laziness in my community and I genuinely wish they would be removed
    I don’t hate people that disagree, but I wanted to share my side of the argument because I never see anyone talking about the remotes causing problems

I tried to keep playing for a few months but I felt like a chump. Last year I missed go fest for the first time. Missed this one too, and only open the game when my grandson wants to play. He’s lost interest too. As for you two, I like you both. But I don’t believe you are still interested in the game. I understand why you continue, but I think you guys are phoning it in at this point.

      Not only lack of raids in general, but also a lack in the rotating raid pool this past couple of years. Remember about 3-5 years ago when (despite there not being as many legendaries/megas in general) there were still multiple of those bosses in the raid pool at any given time?
      Like, at least 2 legendaries & generally 3 megas were available to raid during the same time period. Now we get one of each every ~2 weeks: I look at a raid egg, I immediately know what it is, and barely half the time am I interested in going after it.
      With the amount of meta relevant pokemon across all of the types, how long will it take returning players to have a decently sized roster to take on raids? This new pace of raid spawns would be pretty discouraging as a new player with nothing but looking to be raid-relevant.

    The two dots on an "e" are not a German "Umlaut" (which is ä, ö, ü), but comes from the French language, in order to show that the "e" is pronounced instead of mute, like for example in "Noël" (Christmas), or the automobile brand Citroën.

    The remote raid change still negatively impacts the player base in the areas I've played. And I foresee that being the case until in-person events and the changes made are reverted to the quality they once were, or by providing a genuine solution with the interests of players in mind. Absolutely do all players play differently, but the major ways members do are no longer fun or feasible. I mainly play extremely casual today while 2-3 years ago I was a hardcore active player (used my solo time to play, organized meetups with my friends/local community, raided daily, etc.). I love the game, but I dislike the choices being made that harm players and are determining what play-styles we're allowed to have (aka pigeonholed into solely in-person with others).

      Honestly no only this, but then the amount OF things they push out is crazy. Like for this coming weekend (8/10/24 for those reading this later) we will have a normal event, rocket event, AND shadow raid weekend all going on at the same time.
      Either something like this, OR how for me I attended all 3 days of NYC GO fest, only for the following weekend to be global GO fest, and then the NEXT weekend was a CD with another event tied through it, however that said event allowed 4x catch XP so instead of a CD with 3x catch rewards, it was 4x, so oooobvsiously I had to play that catch event too...
      It's just, there are so many events and it never feels like you can take a break or else you'll miss out on exclusive pokemon (GO fest) or very nice rewards (my CD weekend example). Mind you, again, this was 3 weekends in a row where the main focuses are "catch as many pokemon as you can", and that honestly gets tiring after a bit. Thank goodness I do this for fun because if I had to content create, this game would truly go downhill quick since I would be tied to it rather than being able to set my phone down for a hour or two and just not think about it.

    I think referencing more people being out and about due to the remote raid nerf is slightly misleading (from Niantic, not y’all) because they seem to forget that restrictions were also being lifted and people were less hesitant meeting up in groups. More people being out raiding or in groups wasn’t caused by the nerf - correlation doesn’t equal causation.
    Even if your local group is a group of 3-5 players it’s still not enough to take down some raid bosses, so having the option of having people remote raid in gives that extra support and assurance that even if only 5 are there in person you can still beat the boss. If, for elite and shadow raids, if you could be there in person and bring in even 3-5 remote players each (being mindful that Niantic isn’t likely to roll it back completely) that would still be helpful to rural and smaller communities.
    This was a fantastic interview and it was great listening to your thoughts on the game and how things can be improved. You both are such gems within the pogo community ❤

      Re the ethical and financial reasons for nerfing raids, this would hold more weight if they didn’t push ticket after ticket, and if they then didn’t open up raids for other events. They could have also just reduced the price if they were so concerned. At the end of the day though, it’s our money and responsibility not theirs.

    Supreme Ball, this ball has 4X catching rate compare to Standard Ball.
    Mega Ball, this ball has 8X time catch rate compare to Standard Ball.
    Bronze Nanab Berry, this new type berry will introduce in another huge events other than Pokemon Festival and Generation region tours called Go Team Rocket huge strike.This event will introduce shadow mythical Pokemon. For example, Shadow Mew.
    Since shadow Pokemon always attack and disturb when players catch it, use help Bronze Nanab Berries use give players,
    1. Shadow Pokemon become static.
    2. Increases catch rate.
    3.2X catch Pokemon candies.

    Micahel also said one of the main reasons for the remote raid nerf was that Legendary pokemon are so powerful and they should be special. Remote raids made it too easy to sit at home and max out legendaries. They wanted to make it require more effort to go out and get enough XL candy.

    The remote raid nerf took power out of the players' hands and put it back into Niantics. You were able to get however many and whatever pokemon you wanted, I did 130 mewtwo remote raids and got 6 shinies and 3 hundos, now with the cap at 5 a day and price increased, it's just another chore to get you logging in every day... gotta be something with data selling.

Now, you'd have to DRIVE all over the place, wasting gas, to do something like that. Price of remote pass vs price of gas. Niantic doesn't care about saving you money. lol.

    The thing about remote raids is that someone has to be near a gym to invite people. So it only hurts the rural players that need help.
    If someone lives in a big city they can spend all their money on green passes. It's still gambling like remote raids.
    I'm surprised you didn't mention the horrible state pvp is in. There are so many bugs and lag. It's nearly unplayable.

I stream some, used to do this game a lot on Twitch when it first started and popped off, then it died for a while and I just lost all motivation. I've been streaming stuff and uploading occasionally when a game I like comes out and then stop. Go has been huge for getting my fitness levels back and I even did a live for Tynamo day but my phone overheated from doing it all on one. Highly considering getting a separate camera for filming/b-roll and just doing RUclips videos instead until it cools down. Thanks for the inspo.

You can earn rewards as you make your way back up to 50 and it can be as it was or make it objective based like 40-50 + the XP. just as long as they dont make the objectives full of paywall content, it will give people who grind the game something new to do. you can also prestige your medals and make incremental catch rate multipliers. shiny charm acting like a star piece as rewards, bottle caps for stat (de)buffs.

    As someone with a local community of 800 people who play around the same park, the remote raid change has gotten less people out. Lots of my friends who I used to play with flat out quit the game because the convenience of having people to invite to take down raids would bring them to the park which had the most gyms in the area. Nowadays if it's a meh 5 star raid boss it feels like a coin flip whether or not there will be enough people on a Tuesday at 3pm up there to it down. Which leads to less people taking that hour or so they might have had free to come up.
    That being said on big raid days we still have like 6 lobbies of 20 people but when it comes down to the day to day playing of Go there is definitely less.
