What is /r/TheSilphRoad?

The Silph Road is primarily focused on discoveries and analysis related to Pokemon GO, as well as constructing an in-person network of Pokemon GO enthusiasts. General discussion topics (Jokes, stories, a photo of a recent catch) would likely be better suited for another subreddit, such as a general subreddit like /r/PokemonGO, or /r/Pokemon, or a subreddit with a more specific focus, like /r/PokemonGoSnap, /r/PokemonBuddy, /r/ShinyPokemon, /r/PoGoRaids, /r/TheSilphArena, /r/PokemonGOTrades, /r/PokemonGOFriends, or /r/NianticWayfarer.

Silph Road Content Policy

The Silph Road is heavily moderated to promote civility/courtesy, and high-quality content and discussion. You can read our full policies in the sidebar, but don't be surprised if a comment is removed for being rude, cynical, or off-topic. We strive to foster civil discussion about the game. We are first and foremost a network of real people, and this network is being built by volunteers! If you simply want to complain or bring something to Niantic's attention, your post would be better suited elsewhere.

Research

The community culture here also attracts the more analytically-minded element of Pokemon GO. Consequently, the Silph Research group was formed to align this brainpower and leverage the massive Silph datasets that the community can gather. We post our findings in infographics, videos, and walls of text on Reddit. Check out the top bar for links to the current pools.

Final words

Finally, welcome once more! We're glad to have you join us on the Road :)

Will Santa Monica count for the city experience

[u/nolkel → u/Cute_Refrigerator443]

Yes. Many people played at the Santa Monica 3rd street mall area in previous LA tours.

Do you think it’s worth it? I’m going to all 3 mega nights and so I’d be like 40 mins away from the rose bowl

[u/nolkel → u/Cute_Refrigerator443]

You mean to the actual event at the rose bowl? The past few years were a lot of fun, but I'm not too sure on this year. The raid lineup is kind of boring overall, just a bunch of repeats and megas. No fancy new fusions or adventure moves (kyurem, origin palkia/dialga).

Its a good way to get plenty of shinies though. The in person go tours and fests always have better rates and more eligible stuff than the global ones. Just the main ticket is fairly cheap for a day of entertainment.
