Welp, used up all my data for this month. Wasn't planning to play much this weekend but it still sucks

Why does Niantic always wait until so late in the day to release new features? And usually on a Friday too.
Even 1 PM is a little late to me. Blizzard is on the west coast too, but they release all their stuff at 9 or 10 AM PST. You'd think they'd want to launch this stuff as early in the day as possible; in case of any problems, they would have all day to address them as opposed to just a few hours.
hey man, they gotta go to lunch first and then come back and press the button
It's always best to press the button on a full stomach, I have to agree there.
Was wondering the same thing. Why not give people the whole day to try out new things instead of later in the day or even in the middle of the night for people not in the US? Especially when they release new legendary raids.
Niantic gonna Niantic, I guess.
See, I'm the reverse. I only play during the week, while at work, and rarely on nights and weekends. So these late Friday content releases are super annoying. :/
That's all fine except if there's still IV differentiation which we have no reason to believe there won't be, and you get screwed with a bad IV one with no chance at another. With all the others, even Mewtwo, you've always got a shot at catching a better one.
Yeah, it's strange but sort of makes sense that you can only have one mythical Pokemon. Maybe a way around it is some sort of prompt in the catch screen that lets you gamble your current one for the chance at a better one.
Imagine you already have a standard Mew and then encounter a shiny one later but can't catch it. There has to be some sort of workaround.
Yeah, the biggest players of this game obsess over minor stat variations so making one of the most coveted Pokemon in the game potentially be undercut by subpar stats would be a bummer.
I'll reserve judgement until we find out how they're handling it though. Fingers crossed.
Got through the first set of Willow Quests. Second set is going to be more work, because I'm walking Beldum. Luckily I was at 4 KM already, so need to walk 6 KM to get that set done. That will be for tomorrow.
Normal quests are also fun. Did 4, got Voltorb and Eevee from wild encounters.

I've got some harsh Field objectives!
Catch 3 Swablu
Catch 3 Mudkip or Treeko
Evolve 5 Fire Pokémon
Could easily do the third but want to do it as I encounter them!

Yeah I got the Treeko one, hopefully I see some on the boardwalk tonight when I go out. Switched out my buddy to Swablu and will hopefully be on step 3 later.
No. Same objective from the same stop. At least for a specific period of time. I think field researches are unlimited anyway.
Yes. Just need to find another PokéStop.
Same PokéStop hands out same quest for all players during one day based on previous research.
Yeah these are going to be a great way for people to fill out their dex with some rare mons.
I'm surprised I came back home and found out no one has caught a Mew so far, considering how extremely hardcore some players are I was expecting some screenshots by now.
Edit: Nvm just saw a screenshot from a spoofer inthe PGoHub discord.

If so, that's some Grade A bullshit. That'll cause people to quit playing, getting the full dex is 90% of the game.
It's more just all the powering up of my Gyrados-es that have filled me with regret
The field and special research features are way smoother and more satisfying than I expected. I love filling bars and getting free stuff.
I hadn't heard ANYTHING about Mewtwo though, even ingame. Is there a trick to finding them? I still don't have an Articuno either, so I hope they bring those back some day.

Mewtwo is still an EX Raid exclusive. Hit up those gyms in parks once a week.
I don't have much time to raid at all, and at least one of the local groups is super drama-filled, deleting people from coordination groups without warning and so forth. :(
Why would parks matter versus other gyms? I have a 200+ victory gym badge, but I've only won 26 raids because it's almost impossible to get the time and coordination involved.
Thanks for the information.
Looks at 5 Gyarados, fuck! I'm only at 159 candy right now.
It matters because EX Raids are an invite only event and Niantic has outright said it's parks only. It took a while but the process is pretty well understood now; raid a park gym and you have a chance at an invite. Raid more parks for more chances. I do about 10 a week and it's working out pretty well.
Other players aren't necessary either if you're after an EX Raid invite; most of mine come from soloing a level 1 or 2 that happens to be in the right gym.
Find out which parks in your area have handed over EX passes before, some have been repeats a few times by now, focus on raiding on those parks if possible, even tier 1 or 2 raids. Eventually you'll get a pass this way, I'm on my 9th pass now despite not getting any last year.
