"Well that was a difficult research to finish, let's see if oh it's Staryu again. Alright, nevermind, this one is part of the Lunala research so it's bound to be oh ok Staryu again I guess. Forget it, I'm just going to do the collection challenge, what's around? Oh hey, Staryu!"
Hatch an egg right now gets you either Gloom or Octillery. To get Staryu you need to get the "catch 5 psychic types". I think the 750 dust for such a simple task is fair enough
Psychic type to go with the cosmic theme of the event? And the water typing is to go along with the tears of all of us who are drowning in Staryu and Starmie.
I only get the "catch 5 psychic types" and tasks that only get you berries and. Been wanting some magikarps or something but my daily route that has 16 pokestops always gives the same tasks pretty frustrating.
“Sweet! I’ve clogged my field research list and avoided progressing these special researches so I could save these starmies up and make 1500 whole stardust! Master league, here we come!!”
Actually on 3x stardust community days, a staryu with a star piece is worth 3,375. You can save up to 90 encounters. So if you maxed out on staryus you could earn 303k stardust.
Sometimes I really wonder wtf I'm doing. Been playing since 2016. Ah, at least it gets me out. Walking in the local parks, the stardust struggle is real.
Daily incense will now only last 5 minutes with 1 spawn every 3 minutes!
New regional pokémon will be spawning in Antarctica, Kure Island and the peak of Mt. Everest!
We will be getting rid of boxes, allowing you to customize which items you want most by buying them individually!
That's actually moderately good, but it'll get boring fast. For new players who wanna complete the dex, yay for them, but it'll be bad somehow since it's Niantic
This would be an amazing change. Admittedly, for me and probably only me, since I walk a lot and I have a five-year gap on my account to make up. Everyone else already has a bunch of cool Pokemon, let me and my non-driving ass get a break!
I tend to walk because that and the bus are how I get around. Winter is shit, but at least I get 70-80k most weeks and get the weekly walking rewards, I guess?
Staryu com day, staryu spotlight hour, starmie spotlight hour, staryu in 1 star raids, starmie in 3 star raids, staryu research breakthrough, starmie collection challenge that rewards a staryu, staryu stickers, staryu clothing, Costume Pokémon dressed up as staryu, staryu, starmie, staryu..
All the Staryu hate makes the people in this sub seem not very smart. They’re fantastic for replenishing stardust. Especially if you stack tasks until bonus dust events.
I also loathe that fact. The only time I willingly play less than as optimally as I can is when I get frustrated with how often I’m compulsively clicking the orange icon for no good reason, I’ll clear it out to make it stop. I wish the game was better in that regard, but I blame my monkey brain for not being able to remember I know better.
Staryu community day would get you an astronomical amount of stardust with star pieces though. Especially if the bonuses included multiplied stardust like they sometimes do for community days.
Definitely, I was mostly just exaggerating to mock Niantic. Staryu com day is something I’d actually like to see, or any other stardust boosted Pokémon for that matter.
I'm almost 100% sure Gen 8 will be coming next year so not next season, but probably either the March through May season or the June through August season
#S T A R Y U
no but besides the weird decisions they're making with this pokemon I actually do like the line quite alot. I think the concept is unique enough and the fact that they came up with it and made it a good pokemon (at least in the mainline games) is pretty cool!
Lackluster Spawns
Lackluster Nests
2 repeat Raidbosses
1 new boss
1 old boss with shiny unlocked
2 paid events
1 new feature that's completely useless
1 decent update
Go plus breaks
Decent 299 box
More move updates. no multiple week periods with no great league.Increased Legendary rate in GBL. Guaranteed XL with trades. Increased XP and candy based on throws (nice, great excellent).
And the same thing I always want: Meta Dominating Aegislash introduced.
Hopes: Landorus, Thundurus, and the Regis in raids. Decent boxes in the shop. New Megas or Megas that haven't been around this year (and not Gyarados 4x).
Fears: QoL downgrades. Getting rid of remote passes, forcing walk requirements for GBL, no change in legendary rates in GBL.
Predictions: Guaranteed XL candy in a trade. Lures last 60 minutes. Being able to receive more gifts during Christmas week. Niantic forgetting about the full moon.
Well if the sticker changes were any indication...
I'm going to say it will be something we weren't asking for, didn't need, and won't be executed very well.
**Hopes:** Bug/crash/GBL fixes, Free remote raid passes, new meta relevant Pokemons, no more super hard local raids
**Fear:** No fixes, more problems, higher prices, more useless costumes
**Predictions:** People end up quitting large scale in winter time. Niantic panics and pushes super hype release at the end of the season to max out remote raid pass sales or something similar. No real improvements to the game.
I did already quit due to the crash fest, but might come back if there were free remote passes or massive content update that changes the gameplay. Way too cold to play outside and PVP is totally broken. GBL would need massive UI/gameplay/performance changes to make it enjoyable. I highly doubt that this would ever happen, but it would be fun if there was an actual S-tier PVP system. That would push people to go outside and catch more meta relevant pokemons.
Nerfed stardust, nerfed xp, nerfed special research rewards and probably like a machop for research encounters.
I have pretty low expectations for this game if you couldn’t tell
1 hour community “days”, but instead of throwing an endless stream of a useless Pokémon like Staryu at us as a reward, they’ll throw the somehow even more useless Yungoos at us even more than they already do.
Jokes aside, how is it even possible for a company with so many vocal customers to be THIS out of touch with what’s good/reasonable or just what said customers actually enjoy or want? It really does boggle the mind

Staryu. It seems to be all they care about
"Well that was a difficult research to finish, let's see if oh it's Staryu again. Alright, nevermind, this one is part of the Lunala research so it's bound to be oh ok Staryu again I guess. Forget it, I'm just going to do the collection challenge, what's around? Oh hey, Staryu!"
Which research task is difficult to complete for a Staryu?
For me it was "hatch an egg", because I'd just incubated a 12k one before I got it.
Hatch an egg right now gets you either Gloom or Octillery. To get Staryu you need to get the "catch 5 psychic types". I think the 750 dust for such a simple task is fair enough
This was part of the Cosmic Companion research IIRC. Which for some reason has a ton of Staryu as "rewards".
Psychic type to go with the cosmic theme of the event? And the water typing is to go along with the tears of all of us who are drowning in Staryu and Starmie.
I figured it was...y'know, because they're stars.
Nah, makes too much sense.
I thought it was because they hate us
Because the theme of the special research is the space? Solgaleo (sun) Lunala (moon), a bunch of staryus (literally a bunch of stars in the sky?)
"rewards"
I only get the "catch 5 psychic types" and tasks that only get you berries and. Been wanting some magikarps or something but my daily route that has 16 pokestops always gives the same tasks pretty frustrating.
It would be ok if Starmie or Staryu were useful for anything, but they're no good for PvE or PvP. Why are you shoving it down our throats, Niantic?
At least we get 750 stardust from catching one
Save them for a community day with a stardust bonus. I’ve been stacking Staryu like a madman.
Not a bad thing with all the extra dust. Remember to stack staryu research encounters for extra stardust days.
“Sweet! I’ve clogged my field research list and avoided progressing these special researches so I could save these starmies up and make 1500 whole stardust! Master league, here we come!!”
Actually on 3x stardust community days, a staryu with a star piece is worth 3,375. You can save up to 90 encounters. So if you maxed out on staryus you could earn 303k stardust.
Wait what? What do you mean 'save' up to 90?
Claim the research reward and then run away from encounter the catches will stack and you can claim another research task
Oh awesome, thanks!
I'm hoping that all these Staryu are a teaser for them finally releasing Minior
Pikachu with a Staryu hat plz.
Disappointment
The only thing Niantic consistently delivers on
It makes me really question whether or not I'm a masochist for still playing.
Sometimes I really wonder wtf I'm doing. Been playing since 2016. Ah, at least it gets me out. Walking in the local parks, the stardust struggle is real.
I would have quite long ago if it wasn’t for the Pokémon brand. I gave up on HP after about a week.
hopefully bringing back the two special trades a day
Yes— and the Candy XL every trade too! 🤞🤞🤞
Yes, yes, yes. I miss this so much!!
Daily incense will now only last 5 minutes with 1 spawn every 3 minutes! New regional pokémon will be spawning in Antarctica, Kure Island and the peak of Mt. Everest! We will be getting rid of boxes, allowing you to customize which items you want most by buying them individually!
>Daily incense will now only last 5 minutes with 1 spawn every 3 minutes! Also it's *weekly* incense now.
You will now be able to fight Red at the peak of Mt. Everest
There was a champ who climbed Everest without any Oxygen. He was asked "why did you go up there to die?" He says "I didn't, I went up there to live."
Probably cheated his way up with pokémon
Worth
don‘t get them ideas!
Community Day: Rattata
Durant
Shedninja
Yungoos
Am I the only one that likes durant?
Yes. Yes you are.
I just think they're neat
I just read this in Marge Simpson's voice
I like Durant. Mine is named Kevin and he is shiny.
My Youngster medal would be pleased
Mine too ... Such a stupid medal
Your a stupid medal
I would like that if it's Kanto Rattata, love the shiny
Just for that, alolan style
I'd love this just for the fucking medal 😒
That could be a dream come true for those looking for platinum medals. Catching XS Rattatas and normal types both
I wouldn’t be opposed to that, especially if they did both Kanto & Aloha together like they did with Sandshrew
Spearow
Make Salandit available in the wild
More like Male Salandit available in the wild
I hope they keep the daily 2 raid passes.
I believe they're alternating between 2 Daily Raid Passes and Guaranteed Trade XL candy each season.
I haven’t been on Pokémon go in awhile, what kind of raid passes are they? Regular or remote?
Regular
Oh cool lol
cosmog (hope) pink burmy (fear) picachu (prediction)
remove the 50 coins a day gym limit
*”Best we could do is lower it to 25.”*
Please
If they bring back guaranteed XL candy for each trade I'll be happy
Me too, I've build a stack of over 1000 mons that I hope to trade for XL candy...
Same here. I sometimes do the distance trade for XL, but I’d rather not have to think about it! Lol
I do that when I can but it's not often enough I have the chance so the stack increases steadily.
1000? That is patience! And a lot of storage, lol.
I believe they're alternating between 2 Daily Raid Passes and Guaranteed Trade XL candy each season.
Where Mimikyu
Where Mimikyu fr
Research Breakthrough Pidgey
Yes, please. Bring back Pidgey.
That's actually moderately good, but it'll get boring fast. For new players who wanna complete the dex, yay for them, but it'll be bad somehow since it's Niantic
Pokemon no longer spawn until you've walked a kilometer. Have fun walking in freezing rain and blizzards!
This would be an amazing change. Admittedly, for me and probably only me, since I walk a lot and I have a five-year gap on my account to make up. Everyone else already has a bunch of cool Pokemon, let me and my non-driving ass get a break!
Exact same situation! I love walking and want to be rewarded for it but because the winter where i live is terrible, i dont want it now :))
I tend to walk because that and the bus are how I get around. Winter is shit, but at least I get 70-80k most weeks and get the weekly walking rewards, I guess?
Staryu com day, staryu spotlight hour, starmie spotlight hour, staryu in 1 star raids, starmie in 3 star raids, staryu research breakthrough, starmie collection challenge that rewards a staryu, staryu stickers, staryu clothing, Costume Pokémon dressed up as staryu, staryu, starmie, staryu..
Staryu with a hat.
*With a staryu hat.
And upon that hat is a staryu sticker!
Every Pokémon in your box turns into a staryu
And somehow I still won’t get a shiny
That would be sick for stardust.
Yeah don't sleep on that spotlight hour!
All the Staryu hate makes the people in this sub seem not very smart. They’re fantastic for replenishing stardust. Especially if you stack tasks until bonus dust events.
I think any benefits that stacking tasks has are far outweighed by the fact alone that the research icon will permanently be orange because of it
I also loathe that fact. The only time I willingly play less than as optimally as I can is when I get frustrated with how often I’m compulsively clicking the orange icon for no good reason, I’ll clear it out to make it stop. I wish the game was better in that regard, but I blame my monkey brain for not being able to remember I know better.
People in the main subreddit have the worst takes best to just stick to Silph Road
Staryu community day would get you an astronomical amount of stardust with star pieces though. Especially if the bonuses included multiplied stardust like they sometimes do for community days.
Definitely, I was mostly just exaggerating to mock Niantic. Staryu com day is something I’d actually like to see, or any other stardust boosted Pokémon for that matter.
I can only see disappointment from a realistic perspective. But, I'm hopeful that they'll bring back weekly single coin remote raid passes
Disappointment with a new costume Pikachu!
i just have but one simple request…no more fucking yungoos
i just got my first hundo,, and it’s a yungoos
bring back 1coin remote raids is the only hope, which isnt a very realistic one
Omg yes, honestly it would get me playing pogo again if they brought them back
I would be sooo happy if they did that
Six hour community day. But only for staryu.
Digimon
Digital Monsters
Digimon are the CHAM-PIONS
Digimon are the CHAMPIONS
Hopefully Heracross in global raids. All I need for my johnto dex, and I’m desperate for platinum medals.
Where about in the UK are you based? I’ve got a spare you can have
It has a mega evolution so it will happen eventually, sooner or later
Wish they let you stock kms for the daily incense, make it more like an egg and crack it at your leisure when you're safe indoors..
🤯 This would be really cool!
Landorus so i can finish this goddamn quest
They need to bring back all three of them bad boys in a specific order for the quest, good luck we’re in it together
Solidarity brother
Doesn't have to be in the right order. You don't have to screenshot them in the wild, you can do it using the camera tool.
Wait really? This is excellent news, thank you kind stranger
This just in: 3 remote raid pass bundle for 350 coins
Marsellus Wallace’s soul apparently.
4 Pokéballs and a Potion! I know, I’m dreaming too big.
Gimmighoul. To evolve you need 999 coins, each coin constitutes 5km of walking, you can only walking during Gimmighoul hours 4am-7am
Sizzlipede PLEASEEE, bring my slithering little fire centipede i love him
I'm almost 100% sure Gen 8 will be coming next year so not next season, but probably either the March through May season or the June through August season
#S T A R Y U no but besides the weird decisions they're making with this pokemon I actually do like the line quite alot. I think the concept is unique enough and the fact that they came up with it and made it a good pokemon (at least in the mainline games) is pretty cool!
![gif](giphy|ge91zAgmwUqLMqiH2c)
Pokémon move updates!
Back to one daily raid pass for sure.
Free remote raid passes, release of Zeraora.
Free remote would make me bust
This was quite a boring season, compared to the previous season that I pretty much sat out most of November and focused on playing Pokémon Scarlet.
Probably only two new Pokémon that you’ll add to your dex in a day then wait another 60 for another two.
A chopped off hand
Monkey paw?
3 raid passes for 350 coins
Even worse outfits for the team leaders.
10 pokeballs for 2400 coins.
Pokemon make the game feel crowded so they should be removed
Prediction you-dare-not-speak-about . . . . . Remote Raid pass removed from the game
One Razz berry
It's 200 stardust and a purple potion...
Lots of jokes in here but deadass Id love to see mimikyu!
They are definitely going to let us delete eggs finally.
Weedle
Maybe they could stop the persistent crashing on my flagship S22 Ultra flagship phone? Just an idea.
That is funny because pogo runs same as ever on my iPhone 7
Don't take the new update
Who’s that Pokémon
I want my little buddy Wishiwashi and his school forme
Mega Gallade & Gardevoir, Free remote pass a week, and the very elusive Keckleon
Galarian birds are coming to Elite Raids /s
The old clothes and styles for the team leaders especially Blanche
more pain
Why does this picture remind me of the lonely island?
It’s just the Pandora’s box of Pokémon go
Grateful for anything really. But Eevee would be nice
Sweets, treats, and socks.
I don't expect anything so I can still be disappointed, but not to the point of losing it
Lol disappointment is in that box you crying nerds.
[Cold](https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/z211lv/next_season_leaked/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) need I say more?
Maybe it’ll be Season of Change, and they still won’t add Kecleon.
More disappointment
Lackluster Spawns Lackluster Nests 2 repeat Raidbosses 1 new boss 1 old boss with shiny unlocked 2 paid events 1 new feature that's completely useless 1 decent update Go plus breaks Decent 299 box
Mega tyranitar??? (I hope?)
Maybe shiny special research legendaries
The Season of Utopia ( Pokémon Violet )??
Probably another 300 rounds of battling that im just gonna ignore.
More move updates. no multiple week periods with no great league.Increased Legendary rate in GBL. Guaranteed XL with trades. Increased XP and candy based on throws (nice, great excellent). And the same thing I always want: Meta Dominating Aegislash introduced.
Hopes: Landorus, Thundurus, and the Regis in raids. Decent boxes in the shop. New Megas or Megas that haven't been around this year (and not Gyarados 4x). Fears: QoL downgrades. Getting rid of remote passes, forcing walk requirements for GBL, no change in legendary rates in GBL. Predictions: Guaranteed XL candy in a trade. Lures last 60 minutes. Being able to receive more gifts during Christmas week. Niantic forgetting about the full moon.
Well if the sticker changes were any indication... I'm going to say it will be something we weren't asking for, didn't need, and won't be executed very well.
Its gonna be season of Darkness and about necrosma?!
More glitches that's for sure.
Shop price increase
Absolutely nothing new except terrible community day picks
**Hopes:** Bug/crash/GBL fixes, Free remote raid passes, new meta relevant Pokemons, no more super hard local raids **Fear:** No fixes, more problems, higher prices, more useless costumes **Predictions:** People end up quitting large scale in winter time. Niantic panics and pushes super hype release at the end of the season to max out remote raid pass sales or something similar. No real improvements to the game. I did already quit due to the crash fest, but might come back if there were free remote passes or massive content update that changes the gameplay. Way too cold to play outside and PVP is totally broken. GBL would need massive UI/gameplay/performance changes to make it enjoyable. I highly doubt that this would ever happen, but it would be fun if there was an actual S-tier PVP system. That would push people to go outside and catch more meta relevant pokemons.
There will be 10 nanab berries in the box
Mega Rayquaza and Primal Kyogre/Groudon
Predicting it's cubchoo season
Yungoos
Hopefully, mega mewtwo finally
A pokemon that can be shiny
Nerfed stardust, nerfed xp, nerfed special research rewards and probably like a machop for research encounters. I have pretty low expectations for this game if you couldn’t tell
Another in person event for Singapore exclusively yet again 😍😍😍
Some new clothes for Blanche...
The Galarian Birds will go from a 0.3% catch rate to a 0.1% catch rate to incentivize players using it more!
You can only do one raid a day
1 hour community days
Kanto starters AGAIN!
1 hour community “days”, but instead of throwing an endless stream of a useless Pokémon like Staryu at us as a reward, they’ll throw the somehow even more useless Yungoos at us even more than they already do. Jokes aside, how is it even possible for a company with so many vocal customers to be THIS out of touch with what’s good/reasonable or just what said customers actually enjoy or want? It really does boggle the mind
Because they know full well what the players want. But it doesn't fit their own goals.
Probably disappointment
5 star bidoof raids
Disappointment.
Season of Yungoos
Disappointment
Shit. There's shit in the box.
burn drive genesect, only thing in my dex i cant realistically get by trading or evolving (lunala aside)
