Really? They're implementing a pseudo-roaming mechanic for the Legendary Beasts? Oh, that should be fun, your continent waiting for its turn. At least it's for the entire continent and not specific locations (though why not have each one appear in a different continent instead of all the same)?

Now that makes me wonder what they'll do for other Legendaries with puzzle elements:

Titans (can we please settle on the name for these guys?) + Regigigas: You're alerted one is nearby and you have to do the actions the games have you do in the chamber to do the encounter. You have to walk zigzags to get Regirock, have to wait in one spot for two minutes for Regice, and walk in a circle a few times for Registeel. Than once you got all three you gotta encounter another Regice but just interacting with it will have it be a Regigigas.
Eon Duo: Half the players can only get Latios and half can only get Latias. In order to be able to encounter the other you'll need to battle the other from a Gym (or one-v-one battles if they ever introduce them). Your next Eon encounter will then be the other one, but after that it returns to being the one you default to.
Weather Trio: Can only catch Groudon on hot days, Kyogre AFTER rainy days, and after one of those days the next windy day will be a Rayquaza.
Deoxys (it was declassified as a Mythical): After a windy, rainy, or snowy day, the next nice night after the day it cleared will have Deoxys appear.
Lake Guardians: Only appear near PokeStops that represent their spirit: Uxie near libraries and museums, Mesprit near theaters and hospitals, and Azelf near monuments.
Creation Trio: Everyday Dialga & Palkia will randomly appear in random locations for one hour. The next day in a few of those spots a Giratina will appear.
Lunar Duo: Cresselia only catachable during full moon, Darkrai only during a new moon.
Heatran: During hot days may appear around a monument.
Swords of Justice: Eh, same as the Legendary Beasts. They don't really have a capturing gimmick.
Forces of Nature: Tornadus on a windy day, Thundurus AFTER a lightning storm, and after one of those days the next sunny day will be a Landorus.
Reshiram & Zekrom: Same thing as Eon Duo, though instead of only one encounter you switch over to encountering the other one all the time.
Kyurem: During Winter for a day AFTER a day of snowfall.
Xerneas & Yveltal: Xerneas during nice days in Spring & Summer, Yveltal during a windy day in Autumn & Winter.
Zygarde: After every Legendary encounter, there's a chance a Zygarde Cell or Core will appear. If its a Cell you just collect it like an item. If its a Core, depending on how many Cells you have can turn into 10% (if you have 10), 50% (if you have 50), or Complete (if you have 100). Note after each encounter you lose the Cells you collected. Maybe they could also introduce a way to change the ones you caught between forms via turning it back into a Core and giving it a number of Cells.
Guardian Deities: Eh, same as the Legendary Beasts. Only thing I can think of would involve Z-Move poses which I guess they can do with a camera, but nah.
Cosmog Line: Appears during cloudy days, some players more likely to find it during the day and others at night. What time of day you caught it will determine what it'll involve into: Solgaleo for daytime or Lunala for night. But that can be changed by having Cosmoem battle the other evolution, changing it to evolve into that one.
Necrozma: I say whatever they do for the Ultra Beasts would have Necrozma connected to that, like it may appear a day after in a location of an Ultra Beast encounter.

while I would love to see this happen, I don't see anything happening weather-related with the game. Unless Niantic makes some new partnerships with some hella accurate weather map thingy, its likely that these are just going to be raid bosses(rip).

Codraroll has addressed it fairly well, but I do like your concepts for Titans, Eons, Lunar, and definitely love that Zygarde mechanic. awesome tech

Personally, I'd love to see more puzzle things that involve walking to stops, etc. Maybe even have some mechanics like the suggestions for the Regi Trio(entirely possible, since gen 3 is just around the corner), such as healing a pokemon next to a gym, transferring 30 pidgeys near a stop, etc. No clue what the community would enjoy, so tell me whats up

Not a first, but this is solid.

Rip Suicune people, snarl is replaced with Hidden Power, and now Extrasensory/HP. Discount Vaporeon?
 
All ready for next raikou raid. Best pokemon to use will include golem & rhydon with ground moves, and dragonite & exeggutor are also great to use against it as well as I'll probably use those to round out my party until I can power up another golem or rhydon. I was going to power up my best zapdos but an excellent raikou will certainly be useful and will have to wait until the end of the month until I can decide which one to power up unless I get hold of a perfect IV one sooner.
 
Pretty much. Even with Hidden Power Water / Hydro Pump, Vaporeon just outshines it. Its stat line was not made with Go in mind =/
 
It's particularly weird in light of the recent Mewtwo nerf. They have already displayed a willingness to tweak a Pokémon's CP, so why do they keep Suicune's stats ~1/6 lower than its brethren, whose stats are near identical?

This is something that I question. Nerfing Mewtwo's stats but not buffing or nerfing other mons into relevancy? Niantic works like an enigma.

iOS doesnt allow people to take information like that from their phones, which is what's stopping them iirc. there was a more formal term but that's the base line

Hey, I really want to come back on this. I am very interested in this particular subject regarding iOS. Do you maybe know more about it? Please let me know in PM.

Also, got softbanned today travelling by train. I closed my app when entering the train. When I came out (15 minutes later) I opened PoGo and I wanted to spin a stop. Nothing worked. Then I figured I got softbanned. ****, why does this happen so easily? And does this do anything to my account? Does it 'flag' it or something? Insanely annoying. Had to spin a stop for ~50 times again. In this game you have to play cautiously because can't tell apart legit players from cheaters. Nice one :')
 
you sure that was a softban and not the game just being slow? sightings vanish etc, as it catches up.. because I have traveled by air and not been softbanned even though the game didn't close (therefore jumped)

I've traveled by plane as well, didn't get me softbanned ever. But today was definitely a softban. Opened up the same stop again and again. Spinning it over and over again, did nothing, even after app restart. Had to open stop, spin, close, repeat for ~50 times and everything worked fine again...
 
definitely do not open the game in the train, if it goes faster than a car. You will get softbanned instantly (personal experience)
 
yet another legendary raid, and yet another 0 golden razz.. whoever thought potions should be put in raid rewards should be punched.. hard

I play on the tram all the time, go+ all the stops and gyms now.

Sucks... I mean, what's the point of the 'I am a passenger option' if you get softbanned when you're actually a passenger?

Also, does a softban leave any marks/flags to your account?

It doesn't, or rather, it's so inconsequential that it does not factor into any bans or warnings of any sort Niantic will issue you.
 
Darn... drawing these Glaceons made me miss my last opportunity to get better Moltres or Zapdos. But anyway....

We got Suikun first. Well... I'll just take that as opportunity to take a rest. Already got one Suikun, will solo Vappies and save all those golden berries until the next one comes. Will join another Suikun just for more rewards though. Will really, really need Golden Berries especially when Raikou comes.
 
Man, people here are going HAM on Entei. Almost as if it's the last day it's obtainable or something. People, you've got 30 days, relax!

we had an entei locally on the first day 1 group game at 7:30pm.. and another lot at 8pm.. with enough to split into 3... got one here now.. and only 2 people lol

take gym overnight, get knocked out.. within hours retaken and full, trying to earn badge and this is the 2nd time people going around with 2+ accounts from miles away taking up gym spots. bring back prestiging :( looks like shaving.. people at the bottom only turned up within minutes of knockout of mine.. seriously wish Niantic would sort that out.

Yeah well I kind of stopped doing gyms, too much of a hassle when you're in an active area. But I feel you phalanx

Just had my third Entei run away from me. RNG has to be in my favor once, right? I mean, I'm throwing Excellent Curve Balls combined with Golden Razz berries :(

Maybe you should try going for greats, I find that whenever I hit excellent throws I'm less likely to get the curve ball bonus. Also the curveball bug has been officially recognized by niantic, so hopefully we'll get a fix soon!
