>>55161369About a year ago we had a double daily raid pass season, then some gems like Fusion Bolt Zekrom, Fusion Flare Reshiram and Sacred Sword Terrakion, and all of them were awesome picks for raids. Then a great event called Twinkling Fantasy in January.
Hoenn Tour also redefined the meta with Primal Groudon and Kyogre with signatures. Hoenn dex could finally be finished. There were also Mega Lati@s aka The Great Filter which hard walled damagelets and Genie raiders, because a party of 6 didn't guarantee victory.
I got two shiny birdplane wives, one of them from the wild. She is now with me in mainlines.Around the end of Lugia raid rotation The Remote Nerf happened and murdered hostfriends and remotefriends alike. Events turned from rather bad on average to complete and utter dog shit like Mystic Hero and the like, which gave no new spawns for weeks.
Niantic also stopped giving a fuck about monthly changes to spawns, tasks, eggs etc and chose to only change them quarterly with new seasons.
A lot of content drip feeding happened - the releases of Cutiefly, Tsareena (BDSM slut), Dubwool.
Niantic managed to piss everyone off again by:
>drastically improving the game by doubling the detection range which everyone loved>telling youtubers it's intended>saying the next day that it's not intended>forcing an update so you couldn't even postpone it and keep the benefit for a few more daysAdventure Week was a good event, everything else forgettable trash.
GoFest happened and it featured (Mega) Diancie for paypigs, Mega Fug and... yes, that's it. The most fucking disappointing major event of all time. They put fucking primals in there again but without signature moves, because FUCK YOU.
Since then I don't really remember anything other than TPC whipping Hanke's ass bloody to start fucking shilling Paldea starters because plushies need to be sold. So there was a bigger release then. And now we're back to hot garbage and content drip feeding.
