This flow annoys me, don't complain that I'm skipping placing a pokemon at a spot when I'm not actually able to place a pokemon at the spot!!

As annoying as trying to place a ‘mon into a showcase and the recommended one is ineligible due to having won before..
Similarly, don’t warn me that I’m about to abandon a team that has ended anyway when I start the game, unless there is a reward actually waiting for me.
It’s like skipping Matteo but there’s still another screen of him saying stuff.
Back in the day I was told to use optimistic programming. Try to carry out the action and only tell the user if it was not allowed rather than check if it is allowed first. It means 99% of users get the task done quicker at the expense of the 1% who have to retry.
My explanation is a bit poor, it really needs a lot of words to explain it properly.
The problem with the optimistic approach is that the 1% who lose out can easily get frustrated and then complain that the system never works for them. Hence, a bit of thought in how it is handled goes a long way.
In this case it should have been simple enough to either complete the action or fail, report and skip the “skip” part.
As it happens one of my peeves is with the party joining process, where it should be optimistic and isn’t. The game tells me I need to be close to the other player. Just show me the barcode and the other player is going to be close. If they enter the code and are too far away, that’s the time to tell them.
Reminds me of how annoying saying No to Mateo is. And how many cells I missed on my bus ride to work because of him.
At this point, you kinda start to believe that simple they don’t care. They can easily check if a monster is place, that’s why we are getting the error after. Just avoid it for starters!
It seems like the whole Dynamax/Gigantamax feature was rushed and poorly implemented to me.
Same thing with gym defense. Can’t they just grey out the button when it’s under cooldown?
That is the stupidest popup in the game lol
I haven’t seen this
i think this is one of those things that with the spaghetti code they can’t make it not do it when you can’t place a pokemon there or it’ll create issues. or at least that’s why i figured it always asked you at least
When opening gifts, for years (and maybe still) it checks bag space before the gift opened counter. I did a lot of “can’t open due to bag space, clear space, can’t open the same gift due to gift cap”. Thanks game
Mine is,
Do you want to leave group ?
Y/n
Y => Maximum 3h the group ended !
Ok!
Ah, classic Pop-Up GO in action. I swear, they’re going to offer a pass to avoid all unnecessary and sudden pop-ups. Want to see what hatched in your own time so you don’t miss a shiny Galarian bird? $4.99. Actually, eff you. $7.99.
They should just do what they do when the spot is full of 40 helpers, and skip the screen entirely.
Also finding out the mon you picked to put into max spot is unavailable because it’s tagged as remote trade
lol. that should be easy to code out though.
It’s disrespect from the developers
This is right up there with the weekly challenge reminders…
you have completed 62% of the challenge… WHO CARES? I want to enter a god damn raid and you keep erecting all these barriers on the screen
I’m tired of the game equipping rocket radars automatically each time I get fragments. Worse is when you quickly go to unequip it, and the game plays the radar assembling sequence and equips it again…
Also while we are here and airing random grievances, 20 Pokeballs is not a reward. I delete them immediately from Monday 9am weekly stuff and if i get them from weekly breakthroughs. Its almost patronizing that you play for a week and get a “reward” that is about 8 stops worth of items
And tradding a D or G max Pokemon that you never leveled up at all.
I just had that thought this morning ahah. That’s also a waste of time to load that screen.
I swear they put up these little notifications just to slow you down in general. Nothing like equipping a rocket radar and having a click okay. If anything the rocket radar notifications should self-dismiss after 2 seconds, because what else are we going to do, *not* equip it? Oh wait, we can’t, there’s no option other than “OK.”
Don’t make confirm twice to mega evolve…
This remind me of the friend list showing people that already reach the daily remote raid passes limit to be invited and inmediatly giving the msg about that… why they are not simply excluded?. Or when it allow you to invite people in the last 30 seconds of a raid to later inmediatly deny it…. or in the weekly challenge, they show you a useless large list of people that you can’t invite….soo lame, such a waste of time..
