Pokémon Go is a 2016 augmented reality (AR) mobile game developed and published by Niantic in collaboration with The Pokémon Company for iOS and Android devices. A part of the Pokémon franchise, the game is the result of a collaboration between Niantic, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company. It uses the mobile device GPS to locate, capture, battle, and train virtual creatures, called Pokémon, which appear as if they are in the player’s real-world location. The game is free to play; it uses a freemium business model and supports in-app purchases for additional in-game items. The game launched with around 150 species of Pokémon, which had increased to around 500 by 2019.
Pokémon Go was released to mixed reviews; critics praised the concept, but criticized technical problems. It was one of the most used and profitable mobile apps in 2016, having been downloaded more than 500 million times worldwide by the end of the year. It is credited with popularizing location-based and AR technology, promoting physical activity, and helping local businesses grow due to increased foot traffic. However, it attracted controversy for contributing to accidents and creating public nuisances. Various governments expressed concerns about security, and some countries regulate its use. By early 2019, the game had over a billion global downloads, grossing over $3 billion in revenue. The game also had over 147 million monthly active users as of May 2018.

I still see a lot of newish players and to their credit Niantic has always been good at doing things that let them catch up with the players who started in the previous decade when the pool of spawns was much smaller and less diluted. A lot of those flyers are gbl-relevant.
Imagine paying to get “extra” encounters for Pokémon that spawn on the daily basis…pathetic.
This honestly doesn't ruffle my feathers. I still need Hoothoot (not including the costume one), Doduo, and Rufflet.
All the updates lately have been putting lipstick on a pig. xD However, they seem to have done something about 2 days ago – when we had those couple hours where AR went back to a black screen – that helped with the catch screen lag/frame rate issue. My animation is still a little rough, but my actions and ball location are matching up better and I'm actually able to aim my throws and make great and excellent throws again. I can largely ignore my avatar, because it doesn't affect game play, but not being able to catch pokemon was a serious problem when that's the main point of the whole game.
How are they having a bird day, during the rediscover Kanto event… and they don't have the three legendary chickens I need to complete the Kanto dex.
Every time I look at my ugly and weirdly proportioned new avatar it makes me realise how little Niantic cares about the views of its players. After nearly 8 years I can just feel my enthusiasm for the game slipping away…………
Niantic can go Fck themselves.😊
raid day with Rayquaza the bird pokemon
The avatar update is not an update. It’s a hideous downgrade.
Ya dude I agree with you. We are still missing like all of gen 8. Why are we getting boring events?
Noctowl, Pelipper, and Talonflame are all banned from remix cup. Are they really so bad or useless?
I guess it depends on how you play but I’ve never cared about meta relevancy. I still raid and battle but I don’t pay too much attention to which Pokemon I’m using because I have to do remote raids since I live in an area that doesn’t have much going on. That’s why I’m more of a shiny hunter and to have all these bird Pokemon in this event actually fires me up. I’m missing most of them. But I do wish they could try balancing shiny hunters and meta Pokemon into each event.
I think the flock together is so good as a title but it is so mid. I have all of the shiny birds except for Spearow the family that is but other then that. We could have had a raid day for many of these but Niantic just wants money which is not good at all and so I will not do it at all and that is a shame. I will be at a baseball game so i will miss the first hour again but hey I’ll just focus on the baseball game for that day. Watterl would have been more exciting then this but other then that this is it. No dollars for me will justify me caring about this research event. The Master ball is so cool but other then that this is it. Great Vid count. See ur next video.
U complain to much..
This event I will be looking for shiny Spearow and shiny Doduo because Im almost done with getting all Kanto generation shiny
what are you talking about? This is the best research day we've had in a long time. Most players I know lack at least 2 of the featured shiny. They are actually excited about the increased odds.
2024 has been amazing… no? Mewtwo, Sinnoh Tour, Kyogre/Groudon. I guess it's more fun when you haven't been playing for years. Almost every event has been great for me, a somewhat new/casual player. I spent most of last year never seeing a Spearow, so for the sake of completing the Pokedex, every mediocre Pokemon needs it's day in the sun.
love your content, but you have to lose that shirt, it is not flattering in your videos.
I’m definitely skipping this research day. I have limited pokestops where I live so it takes a lot of planning and effort on my part to participate on research days and this one is definitely not worth it. I have multiples of all these shinies already.
Rufflet candy will be nice, I’ve got a good Braviary I’d like to take to level 40+
I'm looking forward to it since some of these shinies are hard to get (spearow, hoothoot, taillow) since the game has moved on generally from those generations of pokemon now
I dissagree, I am a shiny collector and I dont have any o those 5 shinies yes, so I am super excited about it
i'm also dissapointed as you are… last events made me think niantic started thinking about the event spawns/research rewards and not just randomize unintersting pokemon – almost every last event had some boosted shiny rate pokemons, some extra stardust pokemon and some raid/pvp relevant pokemon. but the bird research day seems to be just unintersting random pokemon like in the past, exept maybe rufflet that can be interesting shiny… very dissapointing…
Nope. May sucks except for the new Ultra beasts coming out at the end of it.
I am fine with the flying research day. I have been playing since summer of 2016 and I don't have shinny doduo, hoothoot, or rufflet. I have 1 shiny tailow but I need 2 more to complete the shiny family. Many players are unable to go to in person Pokémon go events and don't have these shinny's. Events like this may suck for hard core pay to play players. However sometimes Niantic has to cater to new and casual players as well.
Shirt lookin' moldy
