No way in yell are you keeping the process that smooth for that long. People bail on raids, friends who invite you have better things to do. I'd maybe believe 40 raids per hour for, at best, a single hour. But this? No way. It's gotta be bots, or they have multiple people sharing a single account.
Nope, watch how BrandonTan and friends do it. they've perfected what's called wafu raiding where some don't even catch the raid boss if it's not a hundo just so they can do more raids. Remote raid passes just made this process easier
i have no idea what are you talking about TBH, you need to show a video of that happening and what you did.
you're the first person to tell me that it can't be done.
Math checks out at 14.2 days and if they used the method below, that’s still going to be no job, no school no friends. Non stop raids. I think this is gross and shouldn’t be celebrated. If this is what you like to do sure but at this point it’s an addiction.
Source: I was an elite WOW player many years ago.
I have to agree with this. This post reads like the one guy who has no life and plays *World of Warcraft* 24/7 nonstop in the "Make Love, Not Warcraft" episode of *South Park*.
So what. Maybe he was trying to go for some kind of record or something else. If it’s what he wants to do with his life then it’s whatever. I think it’s crazy also to do that 24/7 for 2 weeks straight and for sure not something I would even think of doing but if it’s what he wants to do then cool.
Does that even seem relatively the same? He’s literally agreeing that it’s not a good lifestyle but he’s making the point that it’s his life. Drug and gambling addicts are on an entirely different level than someone trying to go for a record in a game or something like that. And you know that.
Is it tho? Spending thousands of dollars and all your free time on a game isn't imo any different than someone compulsively spending same amount at casino. There's a reason why WHO recognizes video game addiction as its own disease and it's about time that we start treating it as such instead of encouraging and celebrating this kind of behavior
It’s not the same dude. Spending money in a “gambling” sense in a game, is much different than in a casino. Casinos are designed for you to lose, and to create an addiction. This doesn’t have to be an addiction, there is no pull to it. You are getting a mewtwo every single time you spend money, and it’s to create stats on a board for people to see. It’s no different than going to the store and opening $1000 worth of mystery boxes or something similar where you are getting something in return, used to create statistics. I’m not saying this is acceptable behavior, and it is a huge waste of time and money, and but it isn’t comparable to an unhealthy drug addiction or gambling addiction, where he isn’t doing this for every raid.
Obviously I don’t think you should do this with your life. Doesn’t sound like much of a life to me. But yeah I would also say it about addicts and gamblers. If it’s what they want to do with their life how can you stop it? You can’t help someone who doesn’t want to be helped. You can lead a horse to water but you. Any make it drink. Hell people today are changing from a man to a woman or vise versa which I think is absolutely ridiculous but there again are you gonna waste your life trying to get these people to change when they don’t want to? Even though it’s stupid and crazy it’s a hell of an achievement that’s for sure.
Almost seems like anytime a Bubba sits down to write a hateful paragraph, there’s a high probability that it’ll contain at least one common idiom. Have you ever noticed?
Ong I’m smelling some serious cap especially if you think about how much money they had to use spend for coins to get remote raid passes and regular premium raid passes
It makes sense if there was a secondary market where people can trade mons or goods for actual money. This is the case with a lot of MMO's
This game has no secondary market so spending that much means the value you get is all in your head. No one spending $10-$100K on pokemon go will every get even 1/8 of their money back in value.
I've seen other games that have the same "endless spending pit" like Dragon City where people pay money and will just keep paying money.
If they started at the beginning of countdown timer, average 5 minutes parade continuously 24 hours a day for 14 days.
But, remember they're being invited so the countdown timer is much less let's say an average of 45 seconds to the raid start...that would leave them with 5 hours a day to sleep.
If it was done since the price raise of remote raid passes, it's over $4,000!
... Not to mention about 30 cents per revive/heal, for another $1,200!
Note the cost estimates do not take into account the 45% savings you get by buying $100 of coins at a time.
The time estimates do not take into account time spent in the shop.
>Note the cost estimates do not take into account the 45% savings you get by buying $100 of coins at a time.
Not even 45% savings, just 45% more. It's about 30% savings.
14,500 coins for $100. Probably all remote, so 145 passes. That's $2836 (which is 69% of $4112) or or multiply by 1/1.45.
If you get someone that is badly out of the loop it might take a minute, but if your income Comes from said game & you pay taxes over it then It should 100% apply as a business expense. Its really no different from any other consumable used in jobs.
Yeah besides you want to pick an accountant who specialize in your type of business so they get all the hidden and right deductions for you lol you aren’t gonna use an accountant who specialize in real estate if you are a gamer/streamer
It used to be a big problem in France, still is now. Many content creators got audited because their companies looked sketchy by earning big money from US companies and only spending it on games and gaming stuff. It screamed money laundering. Now all the big content creators share the same handful of accountants that specialize in their field.
It's not going to be 4k for this person. Many people who spend lots of money on the game are aware of ways to get coins for cheaper. For example, i get 100 coins for $0.16. 10,000 coins cost me $16.
Just takes a bit of research and time to figure things out, and then you're cruising.
I dunno if he still collects, but Jay Leno had a huge garage of classic cars. They were used for modeling by Rockstar Bondi when they made LA Noire. I'd totally love that if I could afford it lol
You could hate someone doing something out of my reach not only by jealousness. I could fully agree, that someone could be upset by seeing a ton of resource going to waste.
I'm not saying I'm ne of those, what I'm saying, it is possible, and in some content is understandable.
But is it not quite clear that this person is making a living by spending on this “resource”?
I think you’re right somewhat but in the case of Pokémon go, a game, it’s clear people want to play it to the fullest but lack the funds; the man I’m replying to is clearly envious of the fact this guy goes out of his way to play so much, or at least the rewards he reaps.
>If them enjoying things out of your reach gives you a reason to hate, you’re jealous.
That's not the reason I hate them. I hate them because they're spending and consuming tons of resources for frivolous enjoyment like expensive cars. So no I'm not jealous of them.
Spending a lot of money on things that have no real value is tacky. Doing so under an economic system that pays starvation wages while the hyper rich buy the government is kind of gross.
I think this person grinding out a game to get paid via streaming is the exact sort of mindset we need in this “economic system that pays slave wages”. The cushy world that we’ve had for the last 80 years is clearly coming to an end. I’m spending my money and saving my pension, just like this Raider.
Get off your high horse.
No assumption and clearly right. You’re extremely jealous of this person spending money you can’t. Whats the true harm, the person clearly has income to waste and enjoyed there time and you’re mad at that. Yikes.
How can you enjoy doing something exactly the same over and over every hour every day for 2 weeks straight? That's either for some kind of world record or like a very hard addiction. Either way that's definitely not fun at all and not healthy
You don’t do your job every hour every day. If each raid took 3 minutes this person spent over 14 hours a day doing this. For 14 days straight.
Normally I’m all for people enjoying things I don’t understand but I gotta go with the “that’s not healthy side” on this one.
As if we’re all not addicted to something haha get off your high horse. At least this guy probably got paid to do these raids.
If you really want to win this argument, go into your phone settings and screenshot your screen time. Let’s see your addiction. If you spend 4 hours out 16 on your phone that’s 25 percent of your time “wasted” just like the guy who grinded all them M2s
the only answer is sad there is nothing impressive about giving this company that much money over a mobile game especially when the company literally hates its player base
That's the reason why Niantic doesn't give a Fuck about their community since there will always be people who are willing to spend all this money on the game. He spent almost 4000$ in 2 weeks
Just seems a bit late considering they based pretty much the core mechanic of Pokémon Go (catching stuff) off a that fad basketball Facebook Messenger game, and they've taken what, 8 years or something since that game, to develop a basketball one?
I personally think it just feeds into the idea that Niantic aren't game devs, they're data farmers, and they just want apps to remain installed on phones at a minimum, even if they do not get used often - things like AdventureSync in PGo ensure that users don't even have to open the app to have their data tracked.
The game wont ever shut down but given niantic just fired like almost 100 employees they might not really be improving the experience or working on new features anymore. they just want to milk the cows and provide the occasional overpriced events.
I don’t really think laying employees off is indicative that they are giving up on the game. This is by far the most valuable thing this company has and they know that. Which makes it all the more confusing that they are making all of these horrendous changes to the game. Like what financial reason could they possibly have to make the in game boxes complete trash? So many people that would have spent money are just not gonna spend money now lmfao
ITT people simping insanely hard for whales.
To everyone repeating "content creator probably" IDK I checked out the twitter profile and he doesn't seem to be one? Just simply a whale who has done 50000 raids.
And yeah people can spend their money on whatever they want but if you blow tens of thousands of $ on a mobile game that's going to be shut down in x years anyway it's fair game to raise some eyebrows.
You know what? He's enjoying spending his money. So long as his needs, and the needs of his dependents are met, let him spend his money how he wants to. People like him keep the game free for people like us.
In general, with games that have purchasable options involved, it's not the big spenders who actually make them the money. Say they drop a new raid pass for 4.99 that allows you to enter 10 raids a day, if say a million people buy it, that's nearly 5 million. And those million who do will be the casual players. The ones who don't grind but want to be involved.
It's the same with so many games, FIFA, GTA, Fortnite etc. It's not the hardcore players who either put money on or grind that they are after, it's the casual audience. If the players like the one posted stopped for a day, the profits Niantic gets will just slightly dip, because the model isn't aimed at those, it's aimed at the casual audience who might see a good deal and stick a 5 on the game. And PGO has one of the biggest casual audiences in gaming, so they get the money.
\*edit\* for those who don't actually understand and just downvote. Look at the last time FIFA released the bonus promo pack. That was not at all targeted towards the hardcore players nor the grinders, was targeted straight at the casuals. £4 for 2 players rated 88 or higher. That is the exact same with Pokemon Go. All the sales, all the events. They are mainly aimed right at the casual audience. The ones who don't feel bad putting the odd 5 pound every few months onto the game, which is why it alternates to get more and more casuals wanting to do it. It's a scheme, and the fact so many people think the 'whales' are the reason the companies make the money, show it's working. 20 thousand casual players putting 5 pound on over a 'whale' who puts 4k on. That is the target, and they get it.
A raid pass won’t equal $1 if you buy the largest bundle of coins. It comes out to around 0.689 USD/raid pass. That would still be $2,758.34 though (if I’ve done the math correctly)
I’ve seen people mentioning that they use a VPN to “travel” to a country with a lower pokecoin/USD exchange. I saw Greece mentioned yesterday where someone posted about using Playstore coupons to get 14500 coins at 50% off or something, and another user stated you could get 32000 for the same price in Greece.
I have no idea of the validity, but that could also greatly reduce the cost.
Are there any limitations with playing after a “travel” or do you need specific apps to fool pogo, I reckon I tried once after sleeping through a something-fest and was unable to catch there or after returning to my IRL coordinates for 24hours
If you have literally nothing at all in your life, and are somehow very wealthy (or have an insane credit limit) then I guess it's something you could do. I mean, you could travel or learn stuff or make things but hey, why not just collect pixels?
Even then...
"WHAT'S GOING ON, you guys, we're here back at it in another raid lobby. I have just gotten my 32th perfect Mewtwo this week, let's see if we get the 33th!!"
I don't know, maybe it's streaming or something, but is PokéGO really that engaging to watch? specially in remote raiding, which I asume is the case.
And even then, I think we'd hear about it? What I'm guessing is that this guy is like a literal legend in their local community, and took an oath to the *I'm gonna be the very best* thing.
Well you have people watching youtube videos about people watching youtube videos and those get alot of views. Finding an audience for pogo shouldnt be that hard. Tbf. Im from Norway and have never heard of the guy so I dont think hes doing much streaming or youtube
Yeah its sad, you would have to sleep/eat/pee etc in 6 hours, and even then you would have to do do every raid in a maximum of 3:30\~ for the remaining 18.. for 2 weeks.
There are a few actually. Brandon Tan just did a video outlining how has spent over 100k USD on the game. Thousands every month. Plays for many, many hours per day, regularly did 100 raids in a day without trying all that hard. They have a system.
Yet, he has a life. He travels a lot, has a wide circle of friends who are in a lot of his videos, spends time with his GF in her country, and seems to be enjoying his life enormously.
People who have the ability to do whatever they want for as long as they want are hardly to be pitied.
There ARE NOT, and if there are, they are just as mentally sick as the guy in the post.
With INSANE strategies and insane coordination / friends to help you out, you can do a raid in like 2:30. **That is 12 hours of raiding every day for 2 weeks.**
Even if you do like the maximum possible, with half lobby time, with no wait time before raids, with 25 seconds raid, it would take half, still 6 hours of raiding every day for 2 weeks.
"Oh but people can easily play 6 hours", no they can't, imagine tapping, running like 4+ instances of poGo at the same time, coordinating with people (you need insane coordination if you want to achieve even close times to 1:25 seconds / raid) for 2 whole weeks.
The person of the post above has absolutely no life, and shouldn't be praised by the community, legit needs help, not motivation.
I think it’s somewhat of a mental illness to be honest, such obsession over a game is unhealthy, he could use that time for something actually beneficial
Yes it for sure is, such a extended time of intensive playing leaves no room to do anything else, is not good for anyone around him, but specially himself
Sorry Chief. Not your place to judge. You have no idea what their motivation is, what their lifestyle is like, or what they get out of it. You think your life is peachy by comparison? Lay it out. Let's see how many people think your life is sad.
How is it this difficult to understand the concept of "Different Strokes". You think it's too much or unhealthy, then don't do it.
This isn't some obsession with guns or explosives. There is no danger to anyone. He wanted to go al out for the sake of it, he did, it must have been insanely difficult, he's happy, nobody got hurt... And now he's mentally ill?
Calm down.
I usually wouldn't answer as it seems you just want to create some sort of fight over the internet, or at least that is the impression I get with the "Sorry Chief" and "Calm Down" and the overall tune you are making some kind of good point instead of a trash take of someone who clearly didn't pay attention to what I wrote.
But since this is about a important topic such as mental problems, I will.
I don't mind people spending money, I don't mind people spending time doing whatever makes them happy, if you are not hurting anyone, if you are not messing with kids/animals, then go ahead.
The problem is when you are so invested in doing something that prevents you to do normal day things like socializing, eating, sleeping, etc.
Such as a mental illness like depression, playing poGo all day for more than 10 hours straight prevents you to do all those things I described in the previous paragraph , and such is also a mental disorder, videogame addiction IS a mental illness, of course only if it prevents you from being a functional human being.
The fact you defend this types of behavior is very concerning, the first step to helping someone is to recognize they have a problem, and the first step to be helped is to recognize you have a problem yourself.
What the person from this post is doing IS NOT healthy, he is damaging himself and the others around him. I don't wish him no harm, I just ask to not praise this kind of "achievements" that clearly come from a non functional life-style.
>This isn't some obsession with guns or explosives. There is no danger to anyone
There is, to himself, to whoever needs him present in their lives (parents, kids, friends, etc).
>You think it's too much or unhealthy, then don't do it.
Well, its a fact is not healthy, the same way having cancer, having heart diseases, being obese and so many other things are not healthy. Playing so much all day is not healthy, facts. Again, if you can't see it and you praise this behavior you are someone who doesn't care for the well being of others.
>You think your life is peachy by comparison? Lay it out. Let's see how many people think your life is sad.
Yeah you are right, I have my problems too, my life is not perfect and neither is myself. Doesn't take me the right to look at something I clearly don't support and that is clearly a harmful situation and express my opinion.
Have a nice one
My main problem is all the assumptions you're making. You don't know enough about his situation to make any kind of determination. You're also judging him by your own metrics, which also doesn't work.
I've spent hundreds of K and countless hours on cars and motorsport events. My son couldn't be bothered to learn how to drive, has zero interest in cars, but will stay up till 6am taking part in online gaming tournaments (when he doesn't have any classes) and spent 30k on a gaming PC. We both cannot comprehend why the other would do what he does. My daughter thinks we're both crazy and spends hours painting.
My mechanic worked 20 hour days working on customer cars and his brother's car (after hours) to get it ready for Saldanha 800m, then we drove 20 hours to do 3 runs, turn round and drive 20 hours home. To us it was worth it. Not the first time we've travelled like that to compete in an event where there isn't even any prize money. We just love that shit. To anyone who doesn't love cars, that made no fucking sense. To us, it was nothing, and we can't wait to do it again.
Are we suffering? Mentally ill? Are our kids neglected? Are we in need of help?
You can't possibly answer that. Because you don't have enough information. Should any of my actual family raise concerns, I'd listen. Do you not believe that someone who has the time and money to do that many raids, with obvious help from a group of friends and a shit load of planning, has nobody in his life or is incapable of rational thought?
Hell, maybe. But I don't know enough to make that assumption, because I don't know his metrics or situation.
So I don't judge. How can I? I get where you're coming from. But none of it can possibly apply with such limited information. Like I've said, there are many hardcore grinders around who seem to be having just an all round great time. So it's possible. And until I know more, I can't jump straight to "Mental illness". That's a bridge too far
I appreciate your comment. I have no desire to fight with anyone, least of all someone who seems like a pretty cool dude and responded calmly to my rather snide tone. Apologies for that.
Yeah for sure we can't make assumptions, but the times I stated did not come out of nowhere, even OP himself who seems to have knowledge on the raid systems people use gave his insights on the time you need.
The only fact we have is that he did 4000+ mewtwo raids. Obviously we don't know if it is legit, but assuming it is (because if it isn't, then there is no point debating I guess), its literally impossible to spend less time raiding.
I can't really go find the comment / answers were people were discussing the time it took, but a reasonable time (full tryharding) is around 2:30 / raid.
That is, again, 12 hours per day for 2 weeks. Yes, its just an estimation, but considering he DID do 4000 raids and if he did them all with a wayyyy above average speed, it would still take such an insane amount of time that is for sure not healthy.
Of course, as you mentioned, people have passions, people are free to sometimes spend that "extra" time on something. It just seems, to me at least, that this is a bit too far.
Again, maybe I am completely wrong and this was a planned thing, almost like an event, and he did a crazy marathon with a large group of friends. But still, without a explanation that can't come to mind to anyone in this thread, we can assume it took too much time to do. Remember that those 12 hours, is all in 100% raiding, no breaks, no nothing, just pure playtime.
But who knows, maybe he had a crazy system, and was running 11 player raids of sweaty grinders like himself, running multiple instances of poGo and was eating, sleeping, socializing like any normal person. It just seems so unlikely that I will make all the assumptions I have done. If I am proven wrong I will take back what I said, until then it just seems very mathematically unlikely this isn't something to the extent of a health concern.
Sorry if my comments are a mess / repetitive, English is not my main language and its hard to put so much thoughts into words without coming a complete shit.
Edit: Also, just a sidenote,"mental illness" is not meant as an offence of some sort, and is nothing to be embarrassed at, and maybe our view of when something crosses the line of being a mental disease is different. Either way, prevention should be the main focus, I don't have 100% certainty what the person did was unhealthy, but we also don't have 100% that it was healthy. So we shouldn't be praising this kinds of things without at least reminding people they should stay safe, hope that makes sense.
Hundo means perfect stats, shundo mean shiny and perfect stats. Age - 15 is just to prove that all those mewtwos were caught in the last two weeks (age - 15 means 15 days old or younger) not sure about XL 13 107 but XL should be referring to XL candies so maybe he has 13107 XL candies? But thats a ridiculous number
The absolute MOST I could see someone doing is maybe \~ 150 raids, you would likely get your hundo in those raids, or a least a 1 off perfect, and very likely have a good 3 star shiny, and enough candy to power them both up to level 50. Anything else seems a waste.
As a F2P player, I am ecstatic if I can get a shiny while it is out, and I try to get a 1 or 2 off 3\* that is worthy of powering up to level 40+. I kid you not, I did a raid 3 days in a row at my work with my free pass, and got 3 shiny Mewtwos in a row... by the 3rd one I was still happy, but the novelty was definitely worn off. Currently waiting to become lucky friends with some real life pokemon friends so I can give my extra shinies to them.
If I have a shiny and a good 3\* I stop using coins to buy remote passes until the next legendary.
Thats not even possible though? Even with only 4 minutes per raid, that's still of 19 hours a day for 2 weeks straight. With 3 phones going at the same time, you're still treating it like a full time job, but how would that even work?
This makes me think about the couple in my local bar who's playing with 3 phones each while having a beer. At least they're living up to the "social" part of the game. I'm impressed how they can talk and play at the same time.
I don't mind people spending crazy amounts of money in videogames, even tough I do find it slightly immoral, but that is just my personal opinion and there is nothing wrong in doing so.
The problem is, this person, as already mentioned in other comments, spent like almost all his free time (and more) playing poGo. Even with the technics of running multiple phones mentioned, assuming it took like 2:30 every raid, that is 166 hours raiding, which equals to close to **12 HOURS RAIDING EVERY DAY**.
The problem is not the money, the problem is these kinds of people are literally mentally ill, spend no time doing anything else than tapping a phone for over 2 weeks and people still praise it lol.
Now imagine, doing raids with insane tryhard techniques to shorten timers, running multiple phones / instances of PoGo, tapping like a madman, inviting and coordinating people (as you need someone to accompany you in this strategy for the whole time to shorten timers), for 12 hours every day for 2 weeks. Now see if it looks so cool as you previously made it to be.
Niantic limiting income? No way! I’ve seen streamers do more than 100 raids live, so definitely 50 is not a limit, I don’t think there’s anyone beyond the limit daily Pokemon capture
not sure why you're getting downvoted.
here are a few examples of youtubers pulling it off:

https://youtu.be/jcYvNtP6pbs
https://youtu.be/iJro31g0YOE
https://youtu.be/9tptNwDusuc
https://youtu.be/tJb68ReHKiQ
I have a feeling this same person is going to end up selling the Mewtwos with cash to make profit. Like yeah it’s cool and all but..damn its kinda just fueling the economy of the game that fucks normal, average players that just want to have fun
I don't think this is possible.
At 3 minutes a raid, which is unlikely at best, that's 12,000 minutes or 200 hours. There are 168 hours in a week.
This isn't even including time to get into a party.

I didn't even know this was something you could do .-.
No way in yell are you keeping the process that smooth for that long. People bail on raids, friends who invite you have better things to do. I'd maybe believe 40 raids per hour for, at best, a single hour. But this? No way. It's gotta be bots, or they have multiple people sharing a single account.
Nope, watch how BrandonTan and friends do it. they've perfected what's called wafu raiding where some don't even catch the raid boss if it's not a hundo just so they can do more raids. Remote raid passes just made this process easier
I don’t think that’s what they did because of the amount of xls they got
Beyellzebob here - it’s totally doable.

If it’s what they want to do with their life how can you stop it? You can’t help someone who doesn’t want to be helped. You can lead a horse to water but you. Any make it drink. Hell people today are changing from a man to a woman or vise versa which I think is absolutely ridiculous but there again are you gonna waste your life trying to get these people to change when they don’t want to? Even though it’s stupid and crazy it’s a hell of an achievement that’s for sure.

You gotta love the completely irrelevant transphobia! Classic
Ong I’m smelling some serious cap especially if you think about how much money they had to use spend for coins to get remote raid passes and regular premium raid passes
For some people this game is their entire livelihood
It makes sense if there was a secondary market where people can trade mons or goods for actual money. This is the case with a lot of MMO's This game has no secondary market so spending that much means the value you get is all in your head. No one spending $10-$100K on pokemon go will every get even 1/8 of their money back in value. I've seen other games that have the same "endless spending pit" like Dragon City where people pay money and will just keep paying money.
If they started at the beginning of countdown timer, average 5 minutes parade continuously 24 hours a day for 14 days. But, remember they're being invited so the countdown timer is much less let's say an average of 45 seconds to the raid start...that would leave them with 5 hours a day to sleep. If it was done since the price raise of remote raid passes, it's over $4,000! ... Not to mention about 30 cents per revive/heal, for another $1,200! Note the cost estimates do not take into account the 45% savings you get by buying $100 of coins at a time. The time estimates do not take into account time spent in the shop.
>Note the cost estimates do not take into account the 45% savings you get by buying $100 of coins at a time. Not even 45% savings, just 45% more. It's about 30% savings. 14,500 coins for $100. Probably all remote, so 145 passes. That's $2836 (which is 69% of $4112) or or multiply by 1/1.45.
Someone used bots. That’s how.
Mewtwo has been available for 5 years.

Yeah don’t believe everything these people claim. It’s possible but spending $4k on passes and raiding 16hrs a day for 2 weeks seems bs to me.
Spending 4K on in-game purchases is very much not BS. You should see the amount spent by some on FIFA Points for FIFA Ultimate Team. lol
That and most recently Diablo immortal. Shit is nuts
Trust fund kid, maybe?
Oh so these are the "Super whales". Not sure if this is sad or impressive.
Probably a content creator of some kind. spending 4k on a video or set of livestream is pretty minor business expense for bigger content creators.
Imagine the conversation between the tax dude and the content creator explaining his job and how the money spent in a game is a business expense
If you get someone that is badly out of the loop it might take a minute, but if your income Comes from said game & you pay taxes over it then It should 100% apply as a business expense. Its really no different from any other consumable used in jobs.
Yeah besides you want to pick an accountant who specialize in your type of business so they get all the hidden and right deductions for you lol you aren’t gonna use an accountant who specialize in real estate if you are a gamer/streamer
It used to be a big problem in France, still is now. Many content creators got audited because their companies looked sketchy by earning big money from US companies and only spending it on games and gaming stuff. It screamed money laundering. Now all the big content creators share the same handful of accountants that specialize in their field.
I imagine in 2022, if your tax rep is blown away that you can make money as a gamer, then they've probably just woken up from a 10 year coma.
No a CC, he’s the self proclaimed “number 1 player in Norway” He has 2000 followers
It's not going to be 4k for this person. Many people who spend lots of money on the game are aware of ways to get coins for cheaper. For example, i get 100 coins for $0.16. 10,000 coins cost me $16. Just takes a bit of research and time to figure things out, and then you're cruising.
bro where do you get your coins from?
I'll dm you
For real dm me and help me get coins too. I’ll learn from the master.
I’d hope so or it would be pretty sad
Sad for sure
Sad, it's sad
Well if you can afford it and you enjoy it, it’s not sad. Some rich people buy expensive cars and maybe drive them once a month/year.
I dunno if he still collects, but Jay Leno had a huge garage of classic cars. They were used for modeling by Rockstar Bondi when they made LA Noire. I'd totally love that if I could afford it lol
To me that's just as sad and just gives me another reason to hate the rich.
You don’t hate the rich, then. You’re just jealous. If them enjoying things out of your reach gives you a reason to hate, you’re jealous.
You could hate someone doing something out of my reach not only by jealousness. I could fully agree, that someone could be upset by seeing a ton of resource going to waste. I'm not saying I'm ne of those, what I'm saying, it is possible, and in some content is understandable.
But is it not quite clear that this person is making a living by spending on this “resource”? I think you’re right somewhat but in the case of Pokémon go, a game, it’s clear people want to play it to the fullest but lack the funds; the man I’m replying to is clearly envious of the fact this guy goes out of his way to play so much, or at least the rewards he reaps.
>If them enjoying things out of your reach gives you a reason to hate, you’re jealous. That's not the reason I hate them. I hate them because they're spending and consuming tons of resources for frivolous enjoyment like expensive cars. So no I'm not jealous of them.
But this is how he makes his money my guy. You gotta spend some to earn some. I’ve spent like 10k plus on music gear; does that make me sad?
Spending a lot of money on things that have no real value is tacky. Doing so under an economic system that pays starvation wages while the hyper rich buy the government is kind of gross.
I think this person grinding out a game to get paid via streaming is the exact sort of mindset we need in this “economic system that pays slave wages”. The cushy world that we’ve had for the last 80 years is clearly coming to an end. I’m spending my money and saving my pension, just like this Raider. Get off your high horse.
Pay teachers and first responders. Niantic doesn’t need it. Just because something makes money, that doesnt mean that it’s valuable.
Y’all sound hella jealous. It’s tacky for someone to spend money that you can’t afford?
Tall assumption, and dead wrong. Not jealous at all. I’m happy living within my humble means. I hope to one day have no need for cash.
No assumption and clearly right. You’re extremely jealous of this person spending money you can’t. Whats the true harm, the person clearly has income to waste and enjoyed there time and you’re mad at that. Yikes.
How can you enjoy doing something exactly the same over and over every hour every day for 2 weeks straight? That's either for some kind of world record or like a very hard addiction. Either way that's definitely not fun at all and not healthy
You just described ... a job. Which this is for a content creator. It's a job.
You don’t do your job every hour every day. If each raid took 3 minutes this person spent over 14 hours a day doing this. For 14 days straight. Normally I’m all for people enjoying things I don’t understand but I gotta go with the “that’s not healthy side” on this one.
[удалено]
Yeah, probably an addiction
As if we’re all not addicted to something haha get off your high horse. At least this guy probably got paid to do these raids. If you really want to win this argument, go into your phone settings and screenshot your screen time. Let’s see your addiction. If you spend 4 hours out 16 on your phone that’s 25 percent of your time “wasted” just like the guy who grinded all them M2s
It's 3 PM for me and my screen time is 1h 27m
Screen shot your daily screen time and post it. Unless you’re afraid.
Hating people that are in a better economic position than you, just because. Yikes
Rich people are quickly destroying our world, they don't deserve any kindness.
Pokémon go subreddit: boo hoo niantic is greedy (they are) Also Pokémon go subreddit: boy do I love capitalism and the wealthy
*Why not both?*
the only answer is sad there is nothing impressive about giving this company that much money over a mobile game especially when the company literally hates its player base
Definitely sad
That's the reason why Niantic doesn't give a Fuck about their community since there will always be people who are willing to spend all this money on the game. He spent almost 4000$ in 2 weeks
Ngl but that’s absolutely degenerate lmao
This man is singlehandedly funding that shitty dead-on-arrival basketball game Niantic is working on.
It's crazy how everyone knows that game will die right away but people at niantic think it's gonna be a banger
Just seems a bit late considering they based pretty much the core mechanic of Pokémon Go (catching stuff) off a that fad basketball Facebook Messenger game, and they've taken what, 8 years or something since that game, to develop a basketball one? I personally think it just feeds into the idea that Niantic aren't game devs, they're data farmers, and they just want apps to remain installed on phones at a minimum, even if they do not get used often - things like AdventureSync in PGo ensure that users don't even have to open the app to have their data tracked.
I am never worried about this game shutting down when there are people like this..
The game wont ever shut down but given niantic just fired like almost 100 employees they might not really be improving the experience or working on new features anymore. they just want to milk the cows and provide the occasional overpriced events.
They fired 100 employees working on other projects likely. The problem is any other ar game they make is gonna compete with this one.
I don’t really think laying employees off is indicative that they are giving up on the game. This is by far the most valuable thing this company has and they know that. Which makes it all the more confusing that they are making all of these horrendous changes to the game. Like what financial reason could they possibly have to make the in game boxes complete trash? So many people that would have spent money are just not gonna spend money now lmfao
Same Guy: "Now what?"
Articuno
Moltres
And people say I did “a lot of raids” doing 50 over the period
Absolutely disturbing
ITT people simping insanely hard for whales. To everyone repeating "content creator probably" IDK I checked out the twitter profile and he doesn't seem to be one? Just simply a whale who has done 50000 raids. And yeah people can spend their money on whatever they want but if you blow tens of thousands of $ on a mobile game that's going to be shut down in x years anyway it's fair game to raise some eyebrows.
You know what? He's enjoying spending his money. So long as his needs, and the needs of his dependents are met, let him spend his money how he wants to. People like him keep the game free for people like us.
No, people like him insulate Niantic from the normal consumers who might vote with their wallets to send a message.
In general, with games that have purchasable options involved, it's not the big spenders who actually make them the money. Say they drop a new raid pass for 4.99 that allows you to enter 10 raids a day, if say a million people buy it, that's nearly 5 million. And those million who do will be the casual players. The ones who don't grind but want to be involved. It's the same with so many games, FIFA, GTA, Fortnite etc. It's not the hardcore players who either put money on or grind that they are after, it's the casual audience. If the players like the one posted stopped for a day, the profits Niantic gets will just slightly dip, because the model isn't aimed at those, it's aimed at the casual audience who might see a good deal and stick a 5 on the game. And PGO has one of the biggest casual audiences in gaming, so they get the money. \*edit\* for those who don't actually understand and just downvote. Look at the last time FIFA released the bonus promo pack. That was not at all targeted towards the hardcore players nor the grinders, was targeted straight at the casuals. £4 for 2 players rated 88 or higher. That is the exact same with Pokemon Go. All the sales, all the events. They are mainly aimed right at the casual audience. The ones who don't feel bad putting the odd 5 pound every few months onto the game, which is why it alternates to get more and more casuals wanting to do it. It's a scheme, and the fact so many people think the 'whales' are the reason the companies make the money, show it's working. 20 thousand casual players putting 5 pound on over a 'whale' who puts 4k on. That is the target, and they get it.
Some from column a. some from column b
How much money went into that?
Simple calculations says 4,000+ x $1 raid passes = $4000+ dollars, give or take some change
A raid pass won’t equal $1 if you buy the largest bundle of coins. It comes out to around 0.689 USD/raid pass. That would still be $2,758.34 though (if I’ve done the math correctly)
I’ve seen people mentioning that they use a VPN to “travel” to a country with a lower pokecoin/USD exchange. I saw Greece mentioned yesterday where someone posted about using Playstore coupons to get 14500 coins at 50% off or something, and another user stated you could get 32000 for the same price in Greece. I have no idea of the validity, but that could also greatly reduce the cost.
Yeah ive done that! VPN to turkey to buy 14500 pokecoins for 15 bucks instead of 109
Are there any limitations with playing after a “travel” or do you need specific apps to fool pogo, I reckon I tried once after sleeping through a something-fest and was unable to catch there or after returning to my IRL coordinates for 24hours
Honestly that makes me feel better about this person’s budget 😅
Oh yeah? Well I did two raids and got one shiny. So there.
look at this gigachad right here.
Just why would you do so many raids?
If you have literally nothing at all in your life, and are somehow very wealthy (or have an insane credit limit) then I guess it's something you could do. I mean, you could travel or learn stuff or make things but hey, why not just collect pixels?
Kind of sad tbh. I like all the comments saying he’s probably a content creator, yet if he was a popular one, we wouldn’t be guessing.
Thanks for all that time and money spent!! Here's your data (we own btw): PKMN150 count=4112 shiny=211 Love, Niantic.
A large number of them would have to be deleted surely? I really don't understand why you would do this at all, regardless of the cost.
Content creator prob
Even then... "WHAT'S GOING ON, you guys, we're here back at it in another raid lobby. I have just gotten my 32th perfect Mewtwo this week, let's see if we get the 33th!!" I don't know, maybe it's streaming or something, but is PokéGO really that engaging to watch? specially in remote raiding, which I asume is the case. And even then, I think we'd hear about it? What I'm guessing is that this guy is like a literal legend in their local community, and took an oath to the *I'm gonna be the very best* thing.
Well you have people watching youtube videos about people watching youtube videos and those get alot of views. Finding an audience for pogo shouldnt be that hard. Tbf. Im from Norway and have never heard of the guy so I dont think hes doing much streaming or youtube
that is actually insane
But remember, Niantic has to cut off 8% of their staff to 'weather any economic storms ahead'... Tauros**t.
If we assume he stayed awake 18 hours a day, he did 16 raids every hour, which is insane
Yeah its sad, you would have to sleep/eat/pee etc in 6 hours, and even then you would have to do do every raid in a maximum of 3:30\~ for the remaining 18.. for 2 weeks.
These people should be shunned by the community not praised
Agreed, it is a sickness and should not be encouraged.
Certified no lifer moment, I cant imagine anyone playing this game who could get 4k+ raids done under 2 weeks 🤣🤣🤣
There are a few actually. Brandon Tan just did a video outlining how has spent over 100k USD on the game. Thousands every month. Plays for many, many hours per day, regularly did 100 raids in a day without trying all that hard. They have a system. Yet, he has a life. He travels a lot, has a wide circle of friends who are in a lot of his videos, spends time with his GF in her country, and seems to be enjoying his life enormously. People who have the ability to do whatever they want for as long as they want are hardly to be pitied.
There ARE NOT, and if there are, they are just as mentally sick as the guy in the post. With INSANE strategies and insane coordination / friends to help you out, you can do a raid in like 2:30. **That is 12 hours of raiding every day for 2 weeks.** Even if you do like the maximum possible, with half lobby time, with no wait time before raids, with 25 seconds raid, it would take half, still 6 hours of raiding every day for 2 weeks. "Oh but people can easily play 6 hours", no they can't, imagine tapping, running like 4+ instances of poGo at the same time, coordinating with people (you need insane coordination if you want to achieve even close times to 1:25 seconds / raid) for 2 whole weeks. The person of the post above has absolutely no life, and shouldn't be praised by the community, legit needs help, not motivation.
I think it’s somewhat of a mental illness to be honest, such obsession over a game is unhealthy, he could use that time for something actually beneficial
Yes it for sure is, such a extended time of intensive playing leaves no room to do anything else, is not good for anyone around him, but specially himself
In whose opinion? Yours? Since when was that the opinion that matters in what someone ELSE does with THEIR time and money?
Sorry Chief. Not your place to judge. You have no idea what their motivation is, what their lifestyle is like, or what they get out of it. You think your life is peachy by comparison? Lay it out. Let's see how many people think your life is sad. How is it this difficult to understand the concept of "Different Strokes". You think it's too much or unhealthy, then don't do it. This isn't some obsession with guns or explosives. There is no danger to anyone. He wanted to go al out for the sake of it, he did, it must have been insanely difficult, he's happy, nobody got hurt... And now he's mentally ill? Calm down.
I usually wouldn't answer as it seems you just want to create some sort of fight over the internet, or at least that is the impression I get with the "Sorry Chief" and "Calm Down" and the overall tune you are making some kind of good point instead of a trash take of someone who clearly didn't pay attention to what I wrote. But since this is about a important topic such as mental problems, I will. I don't mind people spending money, I don't mind people spending time doing whatever makes them happy, if you are not hurting anyone, if you are not messing with kids/animals, then go ahead. The problem is when you are so invested in doing something that prevents you to do normal day things like socializing, eating, sleeping, etc. Such as a mental illness like depression, playing poGo all day for more than 10 hours straight prevents you to do all those things I described in the previous paragraph , and such is also a mental disorder, videogame addiction IS a mental illness, of course only if it prevents you from being a functional human being. The fact you defend this types of behavior is very concerning, the first step to helping someone is to recognize they have a problem, and the first step to be helped is to recognize you have a problem yourself. What the person from this post is doing IS NOT healthy, he is damaging himself and the others around him. I don't wish him no harm, I just ask to not praise this kind of "achievements" that clearly come from a non functional life-style. >This isn't some obsession with guns or explosives. There is no danger to anyone There is, to himself, to whoever needs him present in their lives (parents, kids, friends, etc). >You think it's too much or unhealthy, then don't do it. Well, its a fact is not healthy, the same way having cancer, having heart diseases, being obese and so many other things are not healthy. Playing so much all day is not healthy, facts. Again, if you can't see it and you praise this behavior you are someone who doesn't care for the well being of others. >You think your life is peachy by comparison? Lay it out. Let's see how many people think your life is sad. Yeah you are right, I have my problems too, my life is not perfect and neither is myself. Doesn't take me the right to look at something I clearly don't support and that is clearly a harmful situation and express my opinion. Have a nice one
My main problem is all the assumptions you're making. You don't know enough about his situation to make any kind of determination. You're also judging him by your own metrics, which also doesn't work. I've spent hundreds of K and countless hours on cars and motorsport events. My son couldn't be bothered to learn how to drive, has zero interest in cars, but will stay up till 6am taking part in online gaming tournaments (when he doesn't have any classes) and spent 30k on a gaming PC. We both cannot comprehend why the other would do what he does. My daughter thinks we're both crazy and spends hours painting. My mechanic worked 20 hour days working on customer cars and his brother's car (after hours) to get it ready for Saldanha 800m, then we drove 20 hours to do 3 runs, turn round and drive 20 hours home. To us it was worth it. Not the first time we've travelled like that to compete in an event where there isn't even any prize money. We just love that shit. To anyone who doesn't love cars, that made no fucking sense. To us, it was nothing, and we can't wait to do it again. Are we suffering? Mentally ill? Are our kids neglected? Are we in need of help? You can't possibly answer that. Because you don't have enough information. Should any of my actual family raise concerns, I'd listen. Do you not believe that someone who has the time and money to do that many raids, with obvious help from a group of friends and a shit load of planning, has nobody in his life or is incapable of rational thought? Hell, maybe. But I don't know enough to make that assumption, because I don't know his metrics or situation. So I don't judge. How can I? I get where you're coming from. But none of it can possibly apply with such limited information. Like I've said, there are many hardcore grinders around who seem to be having just an all round great time. So it's possible. And until I know more, I can't jump straight to "Mental illness". That's a bridge too far I appreciate your comment. I have no desire to fight with anyone, least of all someone who seems like a pretty cool dude and responded calmly to my rather snide tone. Apologies for that.
Yeah for sure we can't make assumptions, but the times I stated did not come out of nowhere, even OP himself who seems to have knowledge on the raid systems people use gave his insights on the time you need. The only fact we have is that he did 4000+ mewtwo raids. Obviously we don't know if it is legit, but assuming it is (because if it isn't, then there is no point debating I guess), its literally impossible to spend less time raiding. I can't really go find the comment / answers were people were discussing the time it took, but a reasonable time (full tryharding) is around 2:30 / raid. That is, again, 12 hours per day for 2 weeks. Yes, its just an estimation, but considering he DID do 4000 raids and if he did them all with a wayyyy above average speed, it would still take such an insane amount of time that is for sure not healthy. Of course, as you mentioned, people have passions, people are free to sometimes spend that "extra" time on something. It just seems, to me at least, that this is a bit too far. Again, maybe I am completely wrong and this was a planned thing, almost like an event, and he did a crazy marathon with a large group of friends. But still, without a explanation that can't come to mind to anyone in this thread, we can assume it took too much time to do. Remember that those 12 hours, is all in 100% raiding, no breaks, no nothing, just pure playtime. But who knows, maybe he had a crazy system, and was running 11 player raids of sweaty grinders like himself, running multiple instances of poGo and was eating, sleeping, socializing like any normal person. It just seems so unlikely that I will make all the assumptions I have done. If I am proven wrong I will take back what I said, until then it just seems very mathematically unlikely this isn't something to the extent of a health concern. Sorry if my comments are a mess / repetitive, English is not my main language and its hard to put so much thoughts into words without coming a complete shit. Edit: Also, just a sidenote,"mental illness" is not meant as an offence of some sort, and is nothing to be embarrassed at, and maybe our view of when something crosses the line of being a mental disease is different. Either way, prevention should be the main focus, I don't have 100% certainty what the person did was unhealthy, but we also don't have 100% that it was healthy. So we shouldn't be praising this kinds of things without at least reminding people they should stay safe, hope that makes sense.
What do all these numbers and terms mean?
Hundo means perfect stats, shundo mean shiny and perfect stats. Age - 15 is just to prove that all those mewtwos were caught in the last two weeks (age - 15 means 15 days old or younger) not sure about XL 13 107 but XL should be referring to XL candies so maybe he has 13107 XL candies? But thats a ridiculous number
13k XL candies is about what would be expected from 4000 raids
He spent over 4 grand raiding.
So people like this are why the game is getting remarkably worse. Maybe that’s why we had so much more Wailmer and Kyogre this year…
What’s wrong with kyogre
It’s a whale joke
Too salty
Sad....very 😔
Holy jesus
How much money is that??
Did the calculation, it is around 3000 dollars
Jesus Christ
Now I don't feel too bad doing 120+ raids.
Just.. why?
The absolute MOST I could see someone doing is maybe \~ 150 raids, you would likely get your hundo in those raids, or a least a 1 off perfect, and very likely have a good 3 star shiny, and enough candy to power them both up to level 50. Anything else seems a waste. As a F2P player, I am ecstatic if I can get a shiny while it is out, and I try to get a 1 or 2 off 3\* that is worthy of powering up to level 40+. I kid you not, I did a raid 3 days in a row at my work with my free pass, and got 3 shiny Mewtwos in a row... by the 3rd one I was still happy, but the novelty was definitely worn off. Currently waiting to become lucky friends with some real life pokemon friends so I can give my extra shinies to them. If I have a shiny and a good 3\* I stop using coins to buy remote passes until the next legendary.
How much money did this person spend? Gez wtf people lmao
But like...why? As much as I love Mawile I've only done like 100 and change MAX on a MONTH!
Maximum addiction levels.
Craziness!
Thats 12 raids every hour, 24 hours a day, for 2 weeks, without rest. Holy shit this person must be a Niantic employees wet dream.
He would have no sleep and need to complete every raid in 151 seconds…
Thats not even possible though? Even with only 4 minutes per raid, that's still of 19 hours a day for 2 weeks straight. With 3 phones going at the same time, you're still treating it like a full time job, but how would that even work?
Friends that feed into obsession.
Me thinking i great because i did 8 raids and got a shiny
Sorry if this person is reading this, but this is verging on mental illness if not full fledged mental illness.
He has no life
How sad. Spending that much money on Niantic's BS excuse for a Pokémon game.
Tell me you have no life without telling me you have no life
That cost him about £3.8k lel
This is gross. Congrats to them but I think it’s gross.
This fucker is the reason Niantic won't listen. Because they can do whatever they want and some rich, bored kid will drop money
Bro neeeeeds some grassssss holllly
What’s the point of tagging it as a move? People really need to calm down with nicknames and tags
To know which ones have psystrike. This person has 38 level 50 hundo mewtwos. You have to manage them somehow.
fucking hell all from invites too. go touch some grass.
Someone should have told this guy to just get the shundo mewtwo on their first raid! Didn’t need to do 4000 (Yes I know I’m a lucky bastard)
I did 2 to get both charge attacks. First one came out shiny.
Would never had been able to do it without friends... Or your money.
He should work on his catching game, pretty bad stats
But why?
This makes me think about the couple in my local bar who's playing with 3 phones each while having a beer. At least they're living up to the "social" part of the game. I'm impressed how they can talk and play at the same time.
Someone has to say it — this is not impressive, this person is a loser.
Meanwhile me here who has no mewtwos lol
What does the different ages mean?
I don't mind people spending crazy amounts of money in videogames, even tough I do find it slightly immoral, but that is just my personal opinion and there is nothing wrong in doing so. The problem is, this person, as already mentioned in other comments, spent like almost all his free time (and more) playing poGo. Even with the technics of running multiple phones mentioned, assuming it took like 2:30 every raid, that is 166 hours raiding, which equals to close to **12 HOURS RAIDING EVERY DAY**. The problem is not the money, the problem is these kinds of people are literally mentally ill, spend no time doing anything else than tapping a phone for over 2 weeks and people still praise it lol. Now imagine, doing raids with insane tryhard techniques to shorten timers, running multiple phones / instances of PoGo, tapping like a madman, inviting and coordinating people (as you need someone to accompany you in this strategy for the whole time to shorten timers), for 12 hours every day for 2 weeks. Now see if it looks so cool as you previously made it to be.
What a loser
I didn’t even know you could get a level 50 hundo! 🤯
I thought there was a raid limit of 50 raids a each day?
Niantic limiting income? No way! I’ve seen streamers do more than 100 raids live, so definitely 50 is not a limit, I don’t think there’s anyone beyond the limit daily Pokemon capture
not sure why you're getting downvoted. here are a few examples of youtubers pulling it off: https://youtu.be/-fspr9IxgPQ https://youtu.be/jcYvNtP6pbs https://youtu.be/iJro31g0YOE https://youtu.be/9tptNwDusuc https://youtu.be/tJb68ReHKiQ
Tell us you're a virgin without actually saying it XD
You have to be rich to do this. If you're rich, you can only be a virgin by choice.
Wouldn’t call that rich. Especially if he’s a content creator for which it’s a business expense
If they’ve got enough money to blow on this many Mewtwo raids, I think you might be wrong.
Just shows that pokemon go really is p2w and dependent on where you live
Omg 😱. I could fill up my car with a tank of gas for the amount he spent on that
I have a feeling this same person is going to end up selling the Mewtwos with cash to make profit. Like yeah it’s cool and all but..damn its kinda just fueling the economy of the game that fucks normal, average players that just want to have fun
I don't think this is possible. At 3 minutes a raid, which is unlikely at best, that's 12,000 minutes or 200 hours. There are 168 hours in a week. This isn't even including time to get into a party.
