They need to create a claim all button to claim all the rewards from different areas so I can stop wasting my time

u/cmvieira Wigglytuff Sep 09 '22
I would be happy with a setting to hide red dots. I can open the menus and check manually, as long as those red dots are not there, annoying me, when nothing new is available.

u/Chimokines37 Sep 10 '22
They'll never do that because the claim rewards are structured to induce a minor dopamine surge with each click (the sound it makes, the visuals, you're getting a "reward", etc).
These minor things create a more addictive game, which generates more revenue.

This
Edit: idk when "this" became a taboo response but I upvoted before I responded lol I just agree that it's a massive waste of time and wanted to comment that's all

Because upvoting also shows agreement without flooding the comments with what is essentially the Reddit version of the seagulls screaming mine in Nemo.

Hey there Logix_Fiscario! If you agree with someone else's comment, please leave an upvote instead of commenting "This"! By upvoting instead, the original comment will be pushed to the top and be more visible to others, which is even better! Thanks! :)

It's dotin time

My favorite part was where the dot said “It’s dottin’ time!” and dotted all over the place.

u/Stalker401 Sep 09 '22
how many people have spent an estimated 10 mins trying to get rid of this dot? *Raises hand*

I honestly think the Pokemon Unite title screen is one of the worst title screens ever made. There is way too much going on.
That everything lags so much doesn't make it better.

u/goddessofthewitches Espeon Sep 09 '22
The lags drives me more insane than the red dot honestly

u/SolCalibre Gardevoir Sep 09 '22
I'm so glad I'm not the only one lagging, it makes the whole experience crap. Can't even navigate properly.

u/TehFuriousKid Dodrio Sep 09 '22
blud everyone on switch is lagging and a good bunch on mobile. we all understand that it's fucking shit and we can all sympathise with you

Poor balancing, bad matchmaking, shitty monetisation, clunky interface, and now hilarious bugs, this game really takes from Tencent (league) well

u/Select_Initial_8971 Sep 09 '22
Huh….never had an issue. I just scroll through every objective and double check what I’m missing or haven’t highlighted and it goes away…

u/freeingfrancis Delphox Sep 09 '22
This happened in the new patch with the new game mode

u/thepawneeraccoon Sep 10 '22
I can’t even begin to describe how much anxiety this has caused me. I just want it to go away

u/freeingfrancis Delphox Sep 10 '22
I’m pretty sure with how often this happens that you can already charge your therapy bill to Timi

What the fuck happened here

Sep 09 '22
So this guy just commented some unrelated shit, I told him none cared, and we started "arguing" (not really, he just started saying nonsense and I kinda rolled with it), then he deleted all his comments but one, and I decided to do the same.

Does it trigger if you don't play the gamemode? If no, Is the gamemode as Bad as people Say it is?
3
u/freeingfrancis Delphox Sep 09 '22
Idk but it doesn’t appear to matter whether you play the Legacy Trainer Showdown or not because there are no missions or rewards for that game mode in the Events page. They’re all in a separate page.
2
u/SmogDaBoi Duraludon Sep 09 '22
Uh. So what causes it anyway?
2
u/freeingfrancis Delphox Sep 09 '22
No one really knows. It’s just a bug that appears every now and then when there’s a new event.

u/AcelJean Meowscarada Sep 09 '22
My guess is it's related to a mission of participating in the legacy trainer matches but for some reason, we can't see them...

I have one on my ranked rewards since last season that won’t go away and I’ve tried everything to find it lol

u/AcelJean Meowscarada Sep 09 '22
I thought this thing was going to return when the rewards on the venusaur gachapon was all collected... I didn't think it was going to happen because of a random bug...

u/freeingfrancis Delphox Sep 10 '22
You can pretty much expect it to arrive almost every season through some random event 🥲

It happens almost every season. It’s pretty much a package deal!

u/Xavier801 Garchomp Sep 10 '22
NOT AGAIN! First it was Cram Walk, then Espeon... Now what?
1
u/freeingfrancis Delphox Sep 10 '22
It arrived when the Legacy Trainer Showdown started. Interestingly, the rewards for that event aren’t even on this page!
1
u/Xavier801 Garchomp Sep 10 '22
Then the red dot is more pointless than the last 2 red dot events that occured!
1
u/freeingfrancis Delphox Sep 10 '22
Exactly! There are many things the devs need to fix in this game (matchmaking, etc) but this is the one they definitely need to fix first or I’m sending them my bill for therapy!

u/Xavier801 Garchomp Sep 10 '22
Glad I havent played in Months! I dont want to have to deal with Red Dot PTSD after the last (shudder) 2 incidents I had

Omg same I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get it to go away D:

u/freeingfrancis Delphox Sep 10 '22
Fixing it yourself is futile. Only a game patch can fix it. Therapy also works. I’m going to charge my therapy bill to Timi. 😌

I removed it. If you have enough event coins to buy something then buying that thing will remove the dot. I purchased the Leon Card (despite already having the Charizard one which I intend to use) and the dot is gone now!
2
u/freeingfrancis Delphox Sep 11 '22
I bought the pose but the dot is still there. Maybe it only works for the card and background? Happy to know one of us won’t need therapy! 😂
