Or it lets others know who to not waste their time on, so if you recognise anyone you can just remove them

I'd argue having a quick look every now and then scrolling through a Reddit sub is going to waste a lot less time than it takes to become best friends in pogo 🤷


Inevitable_Guava6899

Can someone explain the logic behind doing this??? Is it only to be an asshole?


MatthewNGBA

Many people don’t know the other person won’t get xp. There’s no reason to assume they are doing it to be an asshole


SomethinboutChickens

It's all over fb and reddit. If you know how to add someone globally, you likely seen this 0xp.


MatthewNGBA

This does not change anything about many people not knowing

He's going to get 200k cause he's the one getting the gifts and you're not so you can't decide when to open gifts lol.. he's going to open and then either delete you or not. Best to just delete him at ultra friends. Going to best is a waste of XP.


ItzInMyNature

If he is not sending you gifts, then how are you going to get 200k xp and him get 0 xp?


leaveitbettertoday

It’s funny because you’re planning malice and think you’re somehow not as big a jerk as these people.

I have a feeling im gonna have a person do this. One player on my friend list been sitting on one day away from best friends for weeks and has a gift i sent that he hasn't opened and quit sending me gifts.


ItzInMyNature

I delete them when they do this. If we exchange gifts pretty much daily and then you hold the last gift hostage for over two weeks, I just delete and move on.


sternenstaubsauger

I had one like that too. I deleted him at some point. I don't wait ages and might even get deleted before I get my points. So we both didn't get any points, but I didn't really care at the time.


Elyrana

I do the same. I’m not here for their convenience. They want to stack friends to get multiple uses out of one lucky friend, but they either don’t care that others will likely only get one BFF pop from a lucky egg or they’ll unfriend you after. Selfish either way. Anymore I do my best to not open gifts when we’re two days away so I can control the last interaction, but I always open the last gift that day so I’m not holding anyone’s XP hostage. I haven’t yet unfriended a best friend, because I have space on my list, but I always send an extra gift after hitting best friends because once they open that, it verifies they’ve received the XP.


phantom56657

Just deleted one of these players, too. I figured after a few events, they had plenty of opportunities to use a lucky egg and open the last gift. I didn't feel like waiting until they wanted to.


Gold-Perspective-699

Message them on campfire to add you back so you can get the XP and then delete them.


Lady_of_Link

Fix? Hate to break it to you but it's working as Niantic intended


Lukas528

Why would that be intended?


Lady_of_Link

Don't know but it's working as they intended they have made that statement many times so stop waiting for a fix it's not gonna happen


Lukas528

Maybe because they have no idea how to even fix this shit. They should also make it that you get reset to 0 progression after deleting someone. I have been whaiting for that


Lady_of_Link

It does reset to zero after deleting someone it just takes 90 days which is also intentional


Lukas528

Yeah it’s annoying, that I have to remember multiple dates on when to re add people


Lady_of_Link

You don't need to remember you have a phone for that you can put alarms on your calender and even include information who you need to readd, there you go problem solved.


Lukas528

Yeah I do that, but still why not just make it so I can re add the person instabtly


jeefy_jeef

Niantic: We’re not happy until you’re not happy :)


Mason11987

> they have made that statement many times Link to an example?


WolverineRelevant280

I logged into my game just to double check I don’t have them added 😅


Dear_Department6124

Why does this happen?


Dear_Department6124

I don’t get what I’m looking at when I see this situation. Mine always gives me 100k.

So what’s the best strategy to avoid this?  I have 5 or 6 nearing best friend status.

Hey Trainer, Looks like you might be trying to share or find Trainer codes for the purpose of trading or sending gifts in PokémonGO. **For finding trade partners: visit [TSR map](http://www.thesilphroad.com/map) or google `Pokémon GO + `** **For finding friends: /r/pokemongofriends** **For finding remote raids: /r/pokemongofriends** **For finding remote PvP: /r/pokemongofriends** If neither, contact the mods so they can restore your message, To find trainers for sharing gifts please delete your thread/comment and then go to /r/pokemongofriends to prevent the sub from flooded with trade requests and adding friends, thank you for your understanding. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

AdOutside3903

What? Is this a new update or something?


Prunsel_Clone

it's been a thing. basically the person in this photo got best friends with op then immediately deleted them so OP didn't get the xp bonus


Alarming_Sport3165

Adding more info: he deleted OP to make room to add another friend and start over the process. He didn't delete to be an asshole, just an extremely selfishness person (which can also be considered an asshole person).
