Pokémon (Not-So) Griefing Thread - Scarlet and Violet Released with 10 Million Copies in First 3 Days in Buggy States

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
So is there some special secret trick to getting through that "failed to authenticate" error message in Pokemon GO, or am I just completely fucked?

I'm using the trainer club login method, and it was working perfectly for an entire year until just recently when it decided to just not load, kick me off, and now i can't log back in again. Even after going through their suggested fixes (clear cache, clear data, uninstall/reboot/reinstall/etc...), and e-mailing support (which was a waste btw, they just copied/pasted the same shit on their website), it still won't log me back in.

I'd rather have Bug/Poison defensively than Bug/Flying.

I'm surprised we don't even have that many Bug/Poison Pokemon. Last we got was Scolipede from Gen 5, and out of the narrow roster only Dustox could be considered a defensive Pokemon. Let's hope we get something in the next game.

Lugia should be retconned to a water/flying type. The wyvern creates tsunamis and hurricanes. He's not Mewtwo.

I don't care how broken it would be, but Water/Dragon Lugia with Multiscale would be a fucking beast.

The thing is Bug/Poison is just done better by Dark/Poison as Drapion proves.

I lost an old account of mine that way. It simply wouldn't let me log in.

I hope we get solgaleo and Lunala returning at some point because of the stupid gen V curse of “shiny locking” for no reason. Though fruit punch soaked solgaleo and lunala do look somewhat silly.

Solgaleo represents the sun yet isn’t a fire or electric type for some reason. They are a steel type. Which is weak to fire and electric types/the very thing they are supposed to represent, the sun/light and makes no sense for them to be. I swear the japanese are having alcohol poisoning induced lapses of judgement when making this stuff.

Blood moon Lunala is awesome, it's Solgaleo that looks silly, the bright red doesn't suit it at all.

And to be fair, the sun isn't on fire. For fire you need a combustion reaction and what the sun is undergoing is nuclear fission, and steel isn't weak to electric. Of course, to be scientifically correct they'd also have to stop making mushroom Pokemon grass type, so who knows?

Well Nintendo can’t restore you stuff if they delete it and tell you to go ask the Pokemon people. And Pokemon people don’t restore stuff that’s Nintendo’s job. Never mind that you can show proof of what you had and it was all Event mons so being given that shouldn’t be too hard…and of course you only kearn this after going through a giant circle chain of emails constantly having to go through their bs proof it’s your account process every few emails until you finally get someone compitant. Just the sheer amount of circles you go round in with them going ‘try someone else’ is bonkers. Add to the fact that actually finding contact info for the correct place is not as obvious as you’d expect. Took absurdly long time to get a straight answer.

This is why I truly belueve them not allowing you to save everything to an SD is the worst thing the Switch ever did, why not having Cloud backups for Pokrmon is shit that needs to be fixed and I now have a second Switch. Because not going tjrough that bs again.

Yes. The pain of trying to deal with that issue was so great I spent several hundred to make sure I never had to deal with them ever again.
