[Suggestion] A forum with paid staff for Pokémon GO


Currently there is no forum with paid staff for Pokémon GO even though there is one for Wizards Unite and Ingress Prime.


Help Nianticindigo, and users, by adding a forum with paid staff, bug reports and a feedback section, for Pokémon GO.


This would especially help with bug reports ( My client crashes whenever my Mega Beedrill dies while dodging ) and suggestions ( reduce duration, and cost, of Mega Evolutions so they only last 60 minutes ).


Thank you 

Gryphonknight, Gryphonkit and SailorBunny

    this forum isnt niantic or pogo, WU is not developed or maintained by niantic, niantic only gave WB the poi network db and whatever support/maintenance for it. WB has no relation to pogo dev. You're better off asking in pogo official forum.

    The waypoint database, and the hardware it runs on, is the single most valuable asset Niantic owns.


    I would be very, very surprised if Niantic ever gives it up since the founders are already wealthy from the sale of Keyhole ( now Google Maps ).


    This is similar to The Pokémon Company leasing their IP to Niantic instead of selling it to Niantic.


    Wizards Unite is Niantic, Inc.’s third game, co-developed with WB Games. For more information on Niantic, visit www.nianticlabs.com.

    yes, i know all of this, yet this forum has nothing to do with niantic or pokemon go, you can keep requesting pogo stuff here, but it wont avail you much.

    “Harry Potter: Wizards Unite” is built on the Niantic Real World Platform, and created using the game design and content creation expertise of WB Games San Francisco.


    from your link, niantic gives db and game engine and WB dev the rest including content. @hpwulola and the rest of staff here and @HPWUTeam are in WB game division's payrole, not niantic's.

    Ok wait hold on one second.. I’m pissed at niantic but my vitriol has been wrongly directed? Is this a Niantic game or a WB game.. I’m so freaking confused right now .. mainly I blame my sudden hearing loss, but the events of the last week have factored in

    niantic gave them the game engine and the poi network. The game design, ingame content, decisions etc like the charm trace nerf are 100% WB gaves division/portkey games. And considering how last april WU had a failure in poi sync for a month which would not be fixed but when pogo didnt have sync for 3 days it was fixed, and since early june we've not had poi sync since....i'm not sure niantic is even in the poi-network as much any more considering WU, I think they gave WB the license and maybe a 1 year maintenance plan (you know like when you pay adobe for example for the creative cloud (photoshop etc) and each month/year you have to pay your subscription or they terminate the service) and for whatever reason(s), maybe as part of the hiring freeze WB has not paid niantic for an extension of the licence so the sync has stopped. But if it is a bug its a bug that WU/WB team has to solve which tells me that niantic is even less involved in WU than (at least) I thought they were.
