I feel that but fortunately, the ones that require you to win are just field research that can be dismissed. I don't recall having to win a raid in the special research.

I got my raid! And now need three new friends but my app decided as of maybe half an hour after said raid to not open anymore. It updated recently so maybe it's that? Anyone else having problems?

I'm right-handed. The motion is entirely natural for me to do.

So my annoyance with the Celebi requirements has grown another step. Requiring making friends is an ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE piece of game design on Niantic's part. As I said before, if you jumped on making friends as soon as the feature was enabled, then you're going to have to resort to making random friends from the Internet or losing your friendship progress with three of your existing friends.

But on top of that: Child accounts can't do it at all because they can't use the social features.

So now A Ripple In Time is stuck at 2/8 for my son for another YEAR AND A HALF.

Joy. I'm on the friend thing, though I haven't pestered relatives yet. A couple played, but Pokemon might not be "cool" anymore.

This reminds me of Farmville. Must have neighbors to get a larger farm.

Re-install fixed the log-in issues. Also, sent a friend request Rum.

Oh thank goodness. Niantic is actually working on parental controls for child accounts.

So just for fun I actually tried the clockwise spin and launch to the left and got a "great" shot first try. I had to think about it though. I'm sorta left-vs-right depending on the situation.

Thanx for the friend adds folks, task complete.

Now my biggest challenge is battle in ten raids. I've already missed two at the gym a two-minute walk from me and the first was totally out of stupidity!
My two others are close behind, evolving a Magikarp and evolved grass type.

Ugh, and my curveballs are still pretty bad tough my aim is improving. I can get it in the Pokemon's direction about half the time.

I've had log-in problems somewhat frequently. Logging out, closing the game, reopening it and logging back in solved it for me.
The problem seems to have desisted since I connected to Facebook strangely. It's only happened about twice after that--so far.

I need the magikarp and evolve an evolved too D:

I DEMAND MAGIKARP SACRIFICES!

Well at last, I'm on the raid board, got my first one.
I've only got one raid pass left, ugh I keep forgetting you need the damn things to get into a raid.

I've decided I hate the raid concept.

You get one each time you go to a gym, so at least you can do one per day

Got my gyrados, and my ghosts! But dangit, 10 raids! That's worse than the ghosts!

Also I have a Kentucky ice shrew and diglett with a bit of hair. California egg is incubating. Sooooo many houndour here.

I caught another Larvitar :D

And raids are good. But I only go after 1 and 2 stars lol

I had a stupid moment.... So I'm like it's been a while since my eggs hatched and I'm like ok I finally stopped catching Pokemon and evolving etc to actually check on my eggs and welp I FORGOT TO EVEN INCUBATE THEM welp duh that's why none are hatching lol

Is that right? That I didn't know. Still can't control the time though and that's sort of important to me.
See I have to walk my dogs every afternoon and one of them isn't friendly but we've got an elementary school at the end of our street.
Fortunately, that first raid showed up right when I usually walk them.

I could go without the dogs, it's literally about two-three houses down from me.

Well damn, still a bit under a 100 candies short of my gyrados.
The ghosts were actually worse for me than the raids. Even at night ghosts are scarce here. I thought I'd fucking NEVER finish that!

Now if it were 'WIN 10 raids' I'd agree, that'd be worse than the ghosts. Probably due to the timing, I'm always alone when I enter raid battles and my pokemon can hardly take on a standard gym battle.

And of course, skiploom is the only grass pokemon popping up right now, rather than chikorita, treeko or oddish, the second stages of which are the three evolved grass types I have.
UGH!

Second raid down, 8 more to go.
I even won this one, I fought to win this one because it was an Aloan Raichu and I wanted it.
BUT THE MOTHERFUCKER DIDN'T CATCH!
Why doesn't it allow you to use your own pokeballs after the premiere balls run out?!

I was already disappointed enough because I was researching getting Mewtwo and figuring out that with the bullshit EX raid system, I'll probably never get one.

I've NEVER failed a raid catch. I've had it take a few attempts but I've never gotten less than 7 Premiere Balls. Did you not use the Golden Razz Berries it gave you? That's what they're for.
