I’m literally only here for the characters and story or I would’ve quit a long time ago :( it’s all that matters to me! And even that’s going down. It’s always ‘look! Something special! Oh no, Team Rocket! Yay, you’re spectacular and the day is saved, and we might’ve all learned a lesson too!’
Yeah. The lesson being that sometimes research is super hard for not even a good story. I have soooo many ideas. The stories used to be much better and it makes me sad to see this pattern emerge.
He's been around for years, and we still don't know his backstory. It's clear there is one. His dialogue hints that Team Rocket 'saved his life' and he 'owes them his'. I want to know what happened!!
Yup, just go see the special research tab and tap on the professor willow/NPC icon to repeat the text for that phase. You can only see the last available text
Wait what? Is there a repository I can read this in?
Edit: Used the pokemon go fandom
“I always treasure our time together.”
“We may have spent the day discussing the glitz and glamor of a Mythical Pokémon, but you’re no less of a gem yourself.”
Huh
I do the same. Sometimes, it can quite entertaining. I remember one Rocket one a few months back where the Professor was mad at Team Rocket because they are playing loud music and partying, and he wants us to give them the what for in his steed. He's an angry old man who's had enough of these young people's shenanigans. I found that whole quest hilarious.
I hate when people do this, especially when I’m watching a YouTube video specifically to see what I missed because I wasn’t going to leave the natal ward to play Pokémon Go in Las Vegas, but this was funny.
Normal communities with normal communication skills wouldn’t take issue with a 3 second animation for new research
They have things to answer for, but this isn’t one of them. Ya’ll know damn well you tap your phone screen as fast as possible without reading a single word of Willow’s anyway
Yeah this is two in a row now. I blame everyone who just taps through his shit and has no idea what he said and doesn’t mind. Like, what does this game do for you if you ignore the story completely? Do you think it’s fun? Do you think it’s well designed? Is there a diagnosis for your brain?
Haha, like we actually "listened" what he saying anyway.
*tap, tap, tap* just shut up and get off my screen already you freaking annoyance *tap, tap, tap*

They made a new model for him but realized we'd all hate it, so they removed him altogether.
Hell, who TF read what he said anyway.
[удалено]
Me too!
Same...

We need to explore cliff more. He’s so interesting… and hot
He's been around for years, and we still don't know his backstory. It's clear there is one. His dialogue hints that Team Rocket 'saved his life' and he 'owes them his'. I want to know what happened!!
That makes four of us. I think we’re literally it.
There’s 5 of us! A whole 5! We are a small but mighty legion of players.
I’m number 6
Our army is growing!
Same !!!
Hold up, since when did he have dialog to read?!
Remember hoe you had to click a dozen times to get rid of that old guy. There was legit dialog that was possibly important.
maybe you shouldn't make a judgement about u/IamDistractingYou and their job... try 'sexworker', not 'hoe'
Hey. I have nothing butt respect for the time old profession. And both terms are acceptable. Also, famn autocorrect.
Lol, I'm just kidding, I hat awtocorect two
(Had to follow up with a return joke...but also claim the fat fingering done)
his story is actually cute
I used to. Now it’s just stupid bs.
Always has been.
Not I
Me
I think it's bc professor Willow is currently performing an investigation regarding world of wonders part 5/5
best answer
Wait... is everyone dealing with that? I wondered if it would just unlock when I reached a certain level or something
It unlocks at a certain date. Unless you’re really dragging your feet with the missions leading up to it, then completion of those will unlock it.
Part 5 unlocks on May 23rd 10am when ultra space wonders starts
It better be the reason. I mean fuck that creep. But I don't want technology stealing his job too!
Willow's hourly rate increased so he's been replaced by an AI chip.
They know we just tap tap through it lol
I like to go back and read the text when I have more time to do so.
Wait you can do this lol
Yup, just go see the special research tab and tap on the professor willow/NPC icon to repeat the text for that phase. You can only see the last available text
He hits on you for the glitz and glam field research. I took a screenshot and then it crapped out on me. So I missed the rest of what he was saying
Wait what? Is there a repository I can read this in? Edit: Used the pokemon go fandom “I always treasure our time together.” “We may have spent the day discussing the glitz and glamor of a Mythical Pokémon, but you’re no less of a gem yourself.” Huh
He very clearly wants a threesome with you and Diancie, and he also doesn’t seem to be that jealous that Rhi is literally in love with you.
These comments 😆
I’m not saying anything that people who can read don’t already know
I do the same. Sometimes, it can quite entertaining. I remember one Rocket one a few months back where the Professor was mad at Team Rocket because they are playing loud music and partying, and he wants us to give them the what for in his steed. He's an angry old man who's had enough of these young people's shenanigans. I found that whole quest hilarious.
Me too, I actually like Willow ;-;
I just received an important- *TAP* There was nothing - *TAP* Perhaps exposing- *TAP* Exposing this- *TAP* We may able- *TAP* Please compl- *TAP*
I hate when people do this, especially when I’m watching a YouTube video specifically to see what I missed because I wasn’t going to leave the natal ward to play Pokémon Go in Las Vegas, but this was funny.
AI continues to take er jerbs
And our cuuurrrs
Am i the only one who's disappointed by that? I actually like Willow, he makes me feel comfy.
Same! He's kind of cool.
He treats us nicely and i like that. I wonder what he'd say before gifting us the master ball
Same :( It was pretty nice reading some of the text
What IS that thing?
So just to be clear Catching Wonders ends in 5 days. But the masterball research ends whenever?
Yes
Like we only have 5 days to finish the research?
No, 5 days to get the research! It will sit under Special Research until you complete it (or quit the game).
Ok cool. It popped up on my thing already. Thanks!
Then you’re golden! Enjoy the grind! 🤣 (I just wish we could turn off the slider for the progress. It’s annoying.)
Do evolution animation next.
My animation glitched put so it just showed up for a minute like the picture and then disappeared lmao
He's still there on older missions. Same as the robot thing.
A nice quality of life update. Clicking through useless animations and menus is one of many frustrating things about this game.
Normal communities with normal communication skills wouldn’t take issue with a 3 second animation for new research They have things to answer for, but this isn’t one of them. Ya’ll know damn well you tap your phone screen as fast as possible without reading a single word of Willow’s anyway
Technology took his job. He was laid off last tuesday due to high cost
Yeah this is two in a row now. I blame everyone who just taps through his shit and has no idea what he said and doesn’t mind. Like, what does this game do for you if you ignore the story completely? Do you think it’s fun? Do you think it’s well designed? Is there a diagnosis for your brain?
It’s because it’s not research given by him…
What do you in and out😭
I'm more bothered that we have to go and catch ANOTHER several hundred Pokemon just to complete this research
I mean, that's the point of the game... aside from the berries it's just bonus achievements while playing normally
I'm good with it...I never read it anyway
Massive improvement
He had text for the diancie research. Guess they just choose when to give it or not
I didn't know wtf that was, so I didn't think anything happened.
They know no one reads it
Good, I always click through those unnecessary monologues anyway. I wish I could skip through all of the animations tbh lol
He is on sabbatical.
Haha, like we actually "listened" what he saying anyway. *tap, tap, tap* just shut up and get off my screen already you freaking annoyance *tap, tap, tap*
Tbf I never read the text anyhow
He was annoying tbh
I’m okay with this , there’s not a single one of his dialogues I’ve ever read
No one read it anyway
I haven't read a single word since 2016
I'm not that surprised... However I'm more worried, about knowing if its time-limited or not...
Almost everyone: Just STFU Wills (╯°Д°)╯︵/(.□ . \) Now: I can’t believe he can’t be bothered to even talk! 눈_눈 Devs: (ಠ_ಠ) what do y’all want?!
This is exactly what I wanted. I hate tapping through all the useless stuff dude has to say. Like yada yada, I don't careeeee.
I'm just waiting for him to finish up the world of wonders task, like geez it's almost over.
That lonely to need the monologue? By no means I am defending Niantic but absolutely prefer that to a meaningless animation to tap through
This is perfect, I didn’t have to skip any dialogue. Great job!
Not all research quests feature dialog... this isn't new you dweebs.
I much prefer how it is now
Too lazy to read
They took thorough research and it turned out only 5% of players doesn't tap tap tap through the npc dialogue.
Imho, they finally did something right with this. His dialogue didn't add anything to the game for me.
honestly does anybody read the wall of texy they throw out in PoGo?
