While it's always funny to see a company massively fuckup , if this hurts Pokémon go long term that sucks. Also, sorry goons who were able to attend and had to suffer through it. In general, anyone going to an event should expect to get somewhat what they pay for it.

I'm hoping it forces Niantic to do a bunch of events in a row as an apology.

Legendary raids apparently have started popping up in Australia and San Francisco?

Never assume anything in the commercials they do is real or happens, except that I did have a Hoppip in my last raid. (Against Magmar)

Looks like all the bonuses are live through Monday afternoon: http://pokemongolive.com/en/post/legendaryrewards

quote:

As a result of all the hard work put in during Pokémon GO Fest, incredible in-game bonuses were unlocked for the entire Pokémon GO community. Also, thanks to the Trainers around the world who banded together to catch millions of Pokémon during the Challenge Windows, the following rewards will last until Monday, July 24, at 5:00 P.M. PDT:

Double Stardust
Double Candy
Double XP
Increased Pokémon encounters
Reduced hatching distance
Reduced buddy distance

These Trainers also played an integral role in revealing that Lugia would be the first Legendary Pokémon to enter the real world. In addition to Lugia, the number of Pokémon caught during Pokémon GO Fest by members of Team Instinct, Team Mystic, and Team Valor were tallied up, and, the winner was... Team Mystic! To celebrate this victory, Articuno will join Lugia in Raid Battles everywhere starting immediately. Don’t worry, Team Instinct and Team Valor, the Legendary Pokémon Zapdos and Moltres will also make their way into the real world soon, so stay tuned for more information.

This is true but technically the raid was at the fountain next to the park and you didn't need to have a Go Fest activation to participate. And also these legendary raids are occurring all over the world

I snagged a Lugia in Shoreline by a golf course. Tons of people packed into a little corner off the highway. It was good times. My 6 tyranitars died (fucker had hydro pump), but I was able to hop back in to get it. Tons of time for legendaries.

We took down the articuno easy with 18 people who all ran to be there, and just barely killed a 42+k lugia with 12 people, though a lot of people were erroring out(PTC strikes again?). It got out of all of my balls, though :saddowns:.

My partner and I are planning to cruise cap hill and downtown tomorrow probably all day till he has to go to work and jump on any legendaries we see(both for him, he missed out on the articuno and his phone died on lugia). Should be fun times and in those neighborhoods, big groups are inevitable

Yeah, when all 6 of my pokemon died I tried to get back in, and when I did, my game crashed. Thankfully when the raid was done, I clicked the gym and got my reward. Can't be a Niantic experience without something crashing!

Did three legendary raids. All ran. At least I got some charge tms though!

And caught my first Tyranitar from a raid so I can't complain much. I do want the legendaries though....one day!
