Friend Adding (Plans to be changed to "Nickname Sorting Explained" page)
Friend Adding in Pokémon Go
My main account, Eiselefantia can be added via 12 digit friend code:
(NOT AVAILABLE NOW)
Do note that I make use of the Friend Nickname feature to sort priorities, resulting in my personal classification.
Verification?
So, you have added me as friend? When contacting me, you will first need to confirm that I am who you are contacting, and vice versa.
The best method I can think of now is the Send Gift Method.
Make sure both parties have opened their gifts before proceeding. When ready, send the gift (with sticker).
Before sending, do take full note the gift location and sticker before you send the gift.
A foolproof method is taking screenshots what gift was sent and what sticker was attached to the gift and placed in a ZIP file. This is to prevent the sender from making claims or changes, and either parties open the gifts and the gift/sticker didn't turn out correct. Just make sure both parties agree to the arrangement
When prompted, both sides should be able to reply, either by word or by screenshots (as suggested above foolproof method) from both receiving parties. If whoever on the otherside is unable to answer or is unable to present a screenshot (as suggested above), then high chance its a fraud, or wrong player.
As of now, this only works for me twice in my entire life as a PGO player. However, it is also important to take note that this is still not foolproof, since all it takes is a 3rd party to have acess to the the device in which your PGO is on and the device used as the medium of communication. However, its just a game, I cannot imagine other people doing such things.
Hope this helps for anyone reading~
(There are plans to change this page to a Nickname Sorting feature and how I implemented it to my account for advanced sorting; which renders players who used numbers or letter 'A's at the start of their trainer name powerless to my near unrivalled and unparalleled sorting capabilities!!!)
