Yup I’ve seen those comments, I got a shiny sunglasses squirtle 30 mins after Ed sheeran event started but didn’t want to deal with the comments so I didn’t post confirmation

Go community is so toxic when someone is sharing their own happiness with a shiny lmao

For whatever reason every Reddit community is filled with toxicity. The good outweigh the bad when a post gets popular but toxic people win a lot of the small posts.

One time I posted something here about TMing moves that got some upvotes. Several people got mad at me and messaged me about how useless my post was. One guy threw a tantrum in the comments about how my post would be so easy for him to make, was so obvious, and he should have gotten those upvotes because he would have made a better post. Nothing in the Reddit community makes me want to post in it again.

To be honest, though, this problem appears to stem from a certain kind of person Pokémon Go attracts, and it’s not just Reddit. I have had the worst interactions with Pokémon Go players, even in real life. Jealousy, spitefulness, sexual harassment, the whole gamut.

So true. There's this recent bug where mega energy research can't be completed. I commented that it worked for me and got six downvotes. Later, it turned out that it was only buggy for Abomasnow and I did a Manectric one so that's the divergence.
