Hello I went back 3-4 pages and updated our community player list:


Any1 did Chikorita community day today? I skipped it because Meganium is a very subpar grass type, even with Frenzy Plant community day special attack. I'm not very much into collecting shinies anyway. Sure, I do have my favorites like a shiny Charizard or Dragonite, but aside from that I'm not that keen on hunting them.

That reminds me of a side thing... I'm actually pretty disappointed in the community days for rare/high value pokemon. I think there should be events or ways to get easier access to some of the rare types, but the CDs are basically guaranteed high volume catches in short windows which seems really bad.

I like the CD for some of the more common pokemon because it gets you excited for something you otherwise wouldn't be and having unique moves gives a chance for a weak pokemon to be a bit more combat relevant.

But the rare CDs just kinda come by and it's like "here's some Dragonites for everyone who can play on that day". If you can't play that day you get set way back which is a shame and it sort of just quickly paves over all the work it previously took to make those types of pokemon. I like and think it's good to make it easier to catch things over time, the research tasks and 7KM eggs are good uses of that, but it feels too jarring, prolific & sudden to do it for community days.

Especially because then hardcore players, instead of getting like 1-2 of that pokemon they'll get a whole bunch and that kinda affects the meta.

Idk, it's dumb, and in general I'm fine and happy when things become easier to get, but having a hardcore scene of people having 3+ TTars with a special legacy move that greatly impacts the way you have to balance raids going forward is pretty annoying.

Basically I'd rather see rare pokemon doled out using the 7KM eggs and Research Tasks (the 7 day reward or individual tasks) and Community Days focus on things like starters, eevees, and other pokemon that can be made exciting by being part of a Community Day.
