PGo has the shittiest farming mechanics

To power one mon 39 you would need 260000 Stardust. You only get 100 stardust per pokemon caught. Meaning you would need to catch 2,600 pokemon. Incubators don't give much just hatched a Larvitar from walking 10 fricken kilometers and was rewarded 1,600 stardust which is 16 pokemon of the 2,600 needed. CMON NIANTIC YOU CAN DO BETTER>

Why so much rage? Very rarely would you ever need a fully leveled poke. Lv30 pokes are perfectly usable. Even pokes as low as lv20 can put up a good fight if sent in against the right opponents. Plus, how many players are even up there in the high 38, 39 or even 40 for them to worry about having a maxed out poke?

Note that mobile games are not meant for people to "complete" overnight. Otherwise the game would be dead and people go find a new game. If you want a game easy to grind, go play pokemon on the consoles. XY ORAS Sun Moon all great series, I'm sure you'll have a nice week of pokemon if you run through all these.

there is nothing wrong with getting stardust :-D If you just power up good stuff and play regularly with catching plentiful, you will stack up on it.

According to you candies are very easy to get...only thing not easy is a mountain of stardust. I've caught 5500 since gym rework, plus daily (and weekly) stardust bonus, plus a super stardust event. Fed 2000 berries, too! There is stardust out there

Barrelrider13; STOP SHOUTING! STOP COMPLAINING! IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THE RULES OF THE GAME DO NOT PLAY IT. IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THE WAY THE RULES ARE CHANGING, DO NOT PLAY THE GAME!

he may be complaining, he could even be wrong...

but not liking something in the game is valid...either way.

The idea of accepting anything no matter what OR ELSE dont play ? simple as that ? is kinda wack.

Sometimes things in games are wrong...do need balance, and sometimes the players are correct.

So yeah...I think your logic of 'if you don't like it dont play' is very far from valid. It seems he wants to play, and will carry on, but that doesn't change that he doesn't like something in the game.

As for my opinion....dust is clearly sparse in this game, overall. Sure you can get it in no limit 'technically' but the actual time you have to put it vs what you get out, is pretty extreme.

its been common knowledge that dust is the most valuable resource, as it never scales as you level up...not once, you are getting just as much now as you did at lvl 1. Only the cost/requirements clearly skyrocket. So does the demand for it in terms of usage....new stronger teams needed for each new raid boss etc.

I do think it is abit extreme overall how much you need vs what you get...100 per catch, and you need thousands just for a single power up.

Im currently sitting on 1.1 Mil Dust. And im scared to use allot of it because of how long it takes to re-acquire.

Sne4K, I agree with you. I never thought he said anything incorrect, it is just the way he said is not appropriate, so I gave him a little bit of his own medicine. Dust is sparse, that is just the way it is at the moment. Maybe it will get better, maybe it it won't. Game always needs balance and we provide constructive criticism to improve it. Not by shouting. This is what he needs to learn. Perhaps in life as well :) Thanks for your comment.

you don't even need level 39 mons...

I'm a level 37 and my first page by CP isn't even filled by 3k+ Mons (I only have 11 >3k mon)

I power most mons to level 30 and stop and have a lot of fun.

Agreed. I'm also level 37 and have 12 that are over 3000, but it was before the gym rework and high CP actually mattered. Now I power them to level 30 and that's it. You power one to max level, it only gets you like what doing 16 damage with your fast attack instead of 15? Not really worth the stardust to do it
