[@tyyt2146]

Just in case anyone would like to know why it started counting backwards it’s because the xp data was saved as a signed 32bit integer which has a maximum of 2,147,483,647 the reason why it’s exactly that is because the data is stored in 4 bytes (8bits per byte) and the first bit determines positive or negative so only 31 bits actually determine the maximum value which is written like this 2^31 but we must also subtract 1 because binary starts from 0 not 1 so the total maximum is 2^31 - 1. Reason it went negative is because the counting is inverted once the signed bit changes to negative (aka 0 to 1) technically Niantic might have changed it from a signed integer to an unsigned integer making the new maximum represented as 2^32 - 1 which is 4,294,967,295 so it’ll be interesting when Brandon passes that xp barrier it’ll make his xp go back to 0 if it’s an unsigned integer. And once that happens Niantic could just ignore that or if they wanted to represent his data properly they’d need to dedicate 4 more bytes from his profile for a 64 bit integer. Or hopefully change it for everyone in the game as Brandon would literally need a separate database for his account 😂 if they didn’t change it for everyone I’m saying^ in case your curious new maximum would be 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 (64 bit signed) 18,446,744,073,709,551,615 (64 bit unsigned) I think that’ll do for Brandon as much as he grinds lol

[@ultimodragonPOGO]

but using soo much dust to purify. thats 200 bagons x 5,000 dust thats over 1 million dust. u can ask a friend to create a ptc account. let that person on another country catch pokemons and then trade them to main acc.

Probably the best part of Brandon is him trying to go to as many community events as possible. Hes one of the main reasons this game had a comeback after the pandemic. Despite what people say this game is still very much alive and still regularly come across people playing.

[@kevinanton6797]

Same here bro. I took a break for over a year and I came back recently and I’m never going to leave again. I just like the pogo community a lot and it isn’t toxic. I also met a lot of new people in real life just from the game and attending all the community events or even raid days etc
