  • heimjazz Keith Heim (@heimjazz) reported

    @PokemonGoApp I would love to, but I had to spend all afternoon working, and with incense getting nerfed recently I didn’t catch much of anything. In the past I could still use my go plus to get a decent haul if I had days where I couldn’t get outside for CD, but today was totally useless.

  • mrskrishorsley KasperGrl (@mrskrishorsley) reported

    @The_Ace_Couple @PokemonGoApp If nothing else,they could offer 2 types of incense: the current one and a stationary one. Problem solved.

  • Braicku Braicku - TL48 (@Braicku) reported

    @Caloby56 @NianticHelp @PokemonGoApp Have one but does that fix the incense issue for my initial statement? No.

  • MWright31301795 M.Wright (@MWright31301795) reported

    @ThatHollowGuy @PokemonGoApp I heard that was a problem for the European players. I hope they give you a make up day.

  • LTDastrup Landon Dastrup (@LTDastrup) reported

    @PokemonGoApp Played all 6 hours, caught 1 shiny. Please fix Incense. It would have increased my chances at Shiny and probably would have made the whole day more enjoyable. Debating on uninstalling the game, the fun is disappearing. Too much grind, especially since I am injured and cant walk

  • heysarahashley sarah ashley♋ (@heysarahashley) reported

    @PokemonGoApp Fix incense.

  • NatsuDr92792390 YuiKokone 🇺🇦 (@NatsuDr92792390) reported

    @PokemonGoApp I will not because you chose a shiny that has been out for a while and dont fix the insense

  • wassollichhier Mok Lat (@wassollichhier) reported

    @rca_2011 @Luck_Fire @PokemonGoApp *** kissing idiot who is a big part of this problem! dude, defending the multibillion company and **** on the users who really need the boostet incense is ******* disgusting.

  • Icarus20561 🔥Icarus2056🔥 (@Icarus20561) reported

    @LootBanditC @NianticHelp @PokemonGoApp Sorry this keeps happening, my friend 😓 I hope they fix it soon and that you get a make up CD!

  • jexxigirl Jess🐇 (@jexxigirl) reported

    @xStarDragonsx @Dollface373 @PokemonGoApp I hope they reply! Everytime I've let them know about an issue I essentially get told to deal with it. They think that we'll just put up with it but they're losing customers left and right.

  • fazylatass just Brad (@fazylatass) reported

    @PokemonGoApp Can we address the real issue that needs fixing with the game? The location of the run away button needs to be moved to the lower right corner.

  • Rex69886735 Rex (@Rex69886735) reported

    @PokemonGoApp Fix incense spawn rate #HearUsNiantic #NianticDidntHear

  • APBTlovr Nikki (@APBTlovr) reported

    @PokemonGoApp Fix the incense. It's not worth it for me to play which means 4 other people don't play as much either.

  • MicahTanner18 Micah Tanner (@MicahTanner18) reported

    @PokemonGoApp fix your ******* incense problems

  • Kn0w_eNolA kn0wMeNOt🌲 (@Kn0w_eNolA) reported

    @Dollface373 @martinsil17 @PokemonGoApp Spot on, seems the community is speaking out to do just that. Get the incense back to how it was. It was working for rural and the disabled. This chump just wants to voice his ableist posts daily and can’t seem to grasp that.

  • StephenAnsell1 Stephen Ansell (@StephenAnsell1) reported

    @PokemonGoApp Worst community day yet! Awful just awful spawns of normal sandshrew in the wild. Incense ruined to top it all. Well done for breaking something that wasn’t broken.

  • martinsil17 Martín Silerio Vázquez (@martinsil17) reported

    @BronzeTalos @friendofyours__ @PokemonGoApp Yeah, and still ableist, that’s is the major problem that Niantic has to deal with regarding all these requests. The only way out is to give special accommodations/features just to those who need it.

  • LucasHudsonCdmx Lucas Hudson (@LucasHudsonCdmx) reported

    @PokemonGoApp @PokemonGoApp @NianticHelp I'm very upset about the incense, because not work at all. In 3 hours, 1 Pokémon per 5 minutes and (fortunately) 1 shiny of both sandshrew and I'm manage 4 counts and it has the worst CD of all the time. It's not working the incense in a CD!

  • ryangrammier Ryan Grammier (@ryangrammier) reported

    @PokemonGoApp This was the worst community day in memory. I walked for two hour straight and was done. Usually I would cool down and catch on incense at home then go back out. But since you killed incense I lost my interest and motivation. Fix incense! #HearUsNiantic

  • martinsil17 Martín Silerio Vázquez (@martinsil17) reported

    @bradyroberts236 @PokemonGoApp Are you disabled? I find so interesting that the players that get more upset about this idea are almost never disabled. Most of problems seems unsolvable until, you know, someone finds a solution.

  • AldridgeDanzo Danzobiggins TL50 ✨💯 (@AldridgeDanzo) reported

    @LootBanditC @NianticHelp @PokemonGoApp I will DM you I know how to fix it

  • espeeon (@espeeon) reported

    @PokemonGoApp hi I have an issue with my account can you help me please??

  • DanTheWildBird1 DanTheWildBirdMan (@DanTheWildBird1) reported

    @PokemonGoApp Fix incense please.

  • MSjrohr Nelson Cruz's Eyebrows (@MSjrohr) reported

    @Mattysmith86 @PokemonGoApp If you have issues with how this game doesn’t make room for disability, you’ve had it since day 1. Obviously an entirely different ******* issue.

  • martinsil17 Martín Silerio Vázquez (@martinsil17) reported

    @bradyroberts236 @PokemonGoApp It makes sense for me. And I believe after Niantic addresses the problem for disabled people, all the other arguments are very very weak. “I can’t go out because I have to work”. Well, yeah, that’s just life.

  • kyle_notorious @Notorious Kyle W. (@kyle_notorious) reported

    @PokemonGoApp incense are not working. 3 pokemon in 30 minutes.

  • Belllart Belllart (@Belllart) reported

    @BCPOGO75 @PbCnt @PokemonGoApp It didn’t even spawn Pokémon when I was walking. I’m not sure if I was going too fast or slow but nothing spawned with incense when I was walking a path. I payed for the incense (this was before the nerf) and I just wasted my money.

  • molingsoup su she’s pr manager (@molingsoup) reported

    @PokemonGoApp But can we talk about how bad your game is at even detecting when the player is walking? The egg kms stack but that incense is still decidedly broken :)

  • Marksflute Mark (@Marksflute) reported

    @riddle @SwgTips @PokemonGoApp The fact that some players can’t move much, that far, that fast, or for that long. What are players with ME, long COVID, etc supposed to do? Or heck, even a broken leg?
