Exactly the same in my town. There was a Facebook group for us, but it was dead and the only people posting in it were... people spamming their business. As soon as I made I can't fire a group. Within months we'd hit 100 members, And our local Pokémon Go scene is flourishing again.
@oddeyesrebellion923 Nothing beyond the normal precautions you take when playing Pokémon Go, I think. Don't go to shady locations, and if you're ever uncomfortable, just move on, you don't have to stay in a place you arent comfortable. Generally, you won't be messaging people directly in private messages. You'll want to find a group for your local area, Which depending on the size of your town and its player base will mean you could have groups anywhere from a handful like three to four people to larger groups. As with anything online, if you're really uncomfortable, try to find a friend or someone you know in real life to come with you. At least for the first rate hour meet up or two until you get to know some of the people in the group for your area. I think generally campfire is pretty safe, though, because we have a pretty wholesome player base for this game. I know for my local group we've all gotten so comfortable with each other over the past year or so that we sometimes have people who offer rides to other players who don't have a car or can't drive yet to get to raid hours/days.
I'm one of the embassadors on the campfire here where I live. Here in Brazil we receive a Box with goodies and promo codes to distribute to the players. It's pretty cool. The goodies are pins, flags, shirts, plushies, pop sockets, stickers, post cards and so on.. and if the group level is high we get even a go plus+ on the box. It's pretty awesome, actually.
The Ambassador Program is awesome. We tried to apply for an ambassadorship with our local group, but the girl who applied got rejected, And nobody has really wanted to put in the time required to step up and do that role.
@@Snow-Willow Ask help for embassadors from other official groups. They can help you. My group didn't have the requirements, but one embassador from Rio de Janeiro got in contact with Niantic I think and we went official. Try it.
May I ask if you can share as anabassador you live position in Campfire? For example, I create a meetup for legendary raids and wanna show where I'm going after the first raid...
@@pointlessnostalgic78as mentioned there is a chat on the meetup you created, but I used to create temperary chat channel that I mark with a * that I delete some time after the meetup. For eks. *MankeyComDay. Don't know if this is better or worse then using the chat inside the meetup, but this is how I have do e it
I'm so glad you made this video. Thank you. Campfire has been a game changer for me and our local community for the past year. Our local raiding scene was basically dead until I decided to make a group for our town and the small suburb town next to it Because I was only level 30 something and unable to solo raids by myself. And gosh darn it, I wanted those legendaries. And in just the past year alone it has exploded to 100 members and we have an active raid scene in town. I wish more people would use it instead of things like Facebook and Discord because it's so perfectly integrated into the game. It makes coordinating everything so much easier.
Loved this video! Thanks for sharing. I recently created a group where I live because there are a lot of players but if you don’t know anyone are visiting etc. there isn’t much coordination and something’s are even gate kept into a small subset of people. I have had some successful events recently and have even gone into the application process for CA. I am hoping for the best there, but honestly it has brought the community out and I am having a blast doing these. More people need to get into campfire. ❤ appreciate you!
Ambassador from Germany here. Come to the meetups, check in, and say hello. We even have extra goodies like promocodes and merch for you. I built a community of around 100 regulars from all ways of life, and usually, there is something for everyone.
Hi! Ich wohn in ner Gegend wo es anscheinend keinen Ambassador gibt, bin am überlegen das selber zu machen, kannst du mir sagen wie man Ambassador werden kann? Muss man erst aktiv ne Community bauen oder sich irgendwo dafür bewerben? Sorry für den Überfall :D
The daily feed is waaay more powerful, it can be used to flex....BUT, in my local area we use that to call out hundo's. It's important to have notifications on and it's one of the most powerful additions. Here's why it's important: it's relevant, recent, and very accurate. When you share the catch card (that goes in the local feed) you can ONLY do things you caught in past 30 mins (relevant and recent). It also pins to the EXACT spot (accurate) the mon was caught....regardless where the device is (could be at home), provided you meet the 30 min. Because of this, I was able to get a hundo in another state....that my neighbor went and got and then I shared. It will notify your friends and anyone within 1 km of the post.....that's powerful.
@@trainerskulb00d Agreed. I will post the occasional shiny, if it's one that I'm really excited about, but for the most part, I use it for sharing locations for hundos and dittos I find.
@@collinsmith5134 IVs seem to be calculated partially based on your level. My husband and I are usually the same level, but I'm a little ahead of him. So we found when I'm a level ahead of him, the IVs we find do not match. But when we are at the same level, the IVs match. So I'm not sure how the exact system works, but it is something to do with player level.
Campfires biggest flaw is players don’t use it. I’m in LA and it’s pretty much dead here. I’ve been to San Fran and it’s popping over there. Depends where you live tbh.
Same. In Chicago and unless I've already met someone in person while playing pokemon go I almost never see any trainers while using this app unless it's a raid.
Niantic Campfire has some issues lately but it's still a fine app. The biggest issues are that recently, hosts can get kicked from their own lobbies as soon as they're full, and the push notifications for full lobbies have been delayed by 5 to 10 minutes, which is an issue because if you don't accept a full lobby within 60 seconds it will kick you.
Despite of all cool feature I just hoping they also showing Pokestops, Having know Pokestop especially The Showcase is really help before planning go to outside.
What campfire really needs is the times for every single raid that will occur for the gym that day. For me the worst part about raiding is coordinating on the fly because its mostly a guess...we need to know ahead of time what will be showing up so we can coordinate effectively. Unfortunately until then the apps kinda useful but Facebook or discord at 10x more useful for community building.
7:50 If they did remove the need to add those people to your friends list, that is new because I invited people to a local raid A month or two ago, and when I was the host, I was given my five friend codes, and I had to add them as friends and then invite them. Edit: Oh, yep. He clarifies that he's on her friends list now. That is the host adding you to their list, because Niantic gives them your friend code when you ask to join a raid.
I use campfire a lot, specially for raiding, that way i met a lot of people in my vecinity who are up to help each other Now we have a what'sapp group for coordinating and inviting for remote raids
If you tap a gym to show in Pokémon GO, it has to be within 800 meters (basicly the distance u can see your map in Pokémon GO) if u can't open it in your game, it won't open it via campfire either. Also the button on the right bottom to show u the way to the gym has never worked for me before, it can never find the location it gives
I use the campfire app all the time. I travel with my work so a lot of times I'm in cities where I don't have a lot of people to do. Five-star raids so using the campfire app I've joined a lot of different groups. I'm still with friends with a lot of these people actually. I'm going to meet up with some tomorrow night
I need to know what exactly the privat group setting does, but can't find it anywhere. I run 4 groupes where I want one to be open for all and 3 to be administrated ho is allowed to join them. So how best can I do this while still make it so people can find the group and request to join. Also a breakdown of all the roles and what each roll can do in a group would be nice.

Ive been playing my son’s account for 3 yrs and i cant do things in game like use the web store or use campfire, i started playing because of my sons an took over his account, ive tried changing off the kids account and nianticsays that cant change it i have to wait till hes 15 yrs old and it will automatically change to an adult account
I had already put alot of time and effort into this one, it wasn’t worth starting over, if i had to start over at that point i wouldn’t even play, i hit lvl 50 in a lil over a year
I never knew about directly messaging a friend from friends list! I thought it just showed what games they played. Still don’t know how you can send a friend request through Campfire. I’ve had three people send me requests but I don’t post my code online.
The app has many good features which maybe could not even work in pokemon go app which is full of bugs But since this 2023 Jun I started playing pokemon go again actively because is so important to see where the raids are I can see the whole city Also found very good community in my city who give free codes very nice pokemon go items in community days and organize events raid days etc + chat is very important too at least I can I ask my lucky friends that “are you living in the same country? No ? Sorry I delete you than “ 😅
i checked out the app and its really cool, but even though my area is pretty populated and i see people go in and out of gyms, noooo one uses it in my area. the only local meetup ive seen was a few towns over and only 3 people were interested.
I wish it was more global so it would be possible to join raids on more different times. But it’s still great that I can join where i live and in some countries around.
Well for me it doesn't change anything. I've been using it since I came back to the game and I created the only group in my area in which I invited the only friend I could add because we were fighting the same boss and he never replied. All the friends that I had from the same country as mine that I tried to contact through campfire never answered. If you're alone, really alone in your area it doesn't help a lot.
I love Campfire. As somebody who goes after Gold Gym Badges, it has helped me find new gyms. One feature I’d love, that would help get people exploring, is nests. I still need Venonat and Krabby. If I knew a nest of them, I’d definitely go grind there.
Upcoming New Year Event, 2025, not just debut costume Pokemon but new Generation 8 Pokemon need to be debut in Pokemon. During new year 2025 that mean 8th year Pokemon Go on the half to celebrate 9th anniversary Pokemon Go. So i suggest Applin and Duraludon can be debut in Pokemon Go. Reason, These two Pokemon, Applin has evolution in both generation 8 Flapple and Appletun and generation 9 Dipplin and Hydrapple Meanwhile, Duraludon has evolution in Generation 9 Archaludon.But do not evolve all Duraludon to Archaludon because Duraludon has Gigantamax form! Or Duraludon obtain from Gigantamax Raid does not have evolve button, Duraludon obtain by rest of sources have evolve button.
Since i took over my sons account i play on a limited kids account an my son plays on an adult account, its stupid they wont change the age on my account
If campfire was actually in pokemon go it would definitely be so much better, but i can see it being a safety thing for kids its unfortunate we live in a kind of world where we have to alter a game for online pedo’s
It’s very useful and I don’t see many downsides when it comes to getting in your way of playing that is. Sure the app could have some small quality of life updates but it’s been getting better.
I cannot even play pokemon go without it since the app was released years ago I can’t see in game where and what kind of raids But in this app I can see in the whole city
You should make a video warning people not to link with the PTC since it will get their account hacked like me and hundreds of other people that nobody is talking about and Niantic is brushing under the rug.
Way underrated. I’m not in Facebook and this app had helped build a community of 100 locals who all thought there was no local community.

Campfire was crucial for me finding a local community and spark the flame again into playing 💯

One feature I’d love, that would help get people exploring, is nests. I still need Venonat and Krabby. If I knew a nest of them, I’d definitely go grind there.
One problem still not available in certain nations😢
If I create a meetup, can I share my live position in campfire?
What if there is no groups in my city and the app is not available in my country also(can access it with vpn) there is a still chance
Problem is that every time I open this app, I need to sign in again. This is quite disturbing.
huh. Thanks! I didn't know how to create a local group or meetup.
I hope Niantic adds Campfire to the Turkey. Can't find anyone to create a local community.
They said we opened in all the countries but i can't use it in my country
The map is in PoGO already
Breh, tryna do the host a raid feature and I’ve been searching for other trainers for over 20 mins 🙃
I still have no idea how to post on the map. How?
There is no campfire in turkey😢
Still not available in my location....
Campfire does all that??? Whoa
Could'nt Niantic have a age limit for chatting?
Caught me off guard with johnsville… I live in Johnstown though 😂
The only problem with the campfire is that it constantly singouts ur account
I don’t get it every phone game has chat which is okay
But if pokemon go has chat cause legal issue ?

How to showcase your mon?
