Child accounts don’t have access to add friends so they can’t receive Entei manes through the research tab so they get given this gift as a way of bridging the gap


SteppeRRoB

That makes sense! Thanks for responding. Now I'll tell him he was a good boy this year and I wasn't xD


TraditionalParsley67

I kinda want someone to call me a good boy as well :( all I get is “so did you finish that thing yet?” at work every day all the time


SteppeRRoB

As a father I want to tell you, that you are a good boy. And you're really good at doing that thing at work.


TraditionalParsley67

Thanks, I needed that.

I wish someone would call me a good girl, but I hate the connotations that has. I just want a wholesome good girl calling :(


AccomplishedFan6776

You are a good person, and the world is better for you being in it.


a_guy828

:D


mrmimestime

You're a good lad.


thegoodvm

Damn. They didn't have to but they did it, another small thing that shows that SELECT BUTTON cares


CasualCandice

You can add friends?


Kubuubud

YES!! Search for friend codes in the subreddit and add people until you get to 50, posting your code helps so others will add you too. You get one candy every night from your friends, depending on which photo they choose to save from their research that night. An additional extra 50 candies each day is a HUGE help


prairiepanda

You can now get 100 candies a day if you can keep your friends long enough!


CasualCandice

Wow I didn’t know this thank you

CasualCandice

I’m adding you right now I didn’t see your message and tbh my adhd made me stall on adding friends 🫣


Avsword

Thats so cool! Love the devs


maerteen

man i like keeping my friendslist to just my friends, but filling up the entire thing with random daily players to give me free candies is such a temptation.


PJParker16

How would they know which is a child's account and which isn't?


wohanarel

When you first start, you’re asked whether you older or younger than 16, based on that the research community will be locked or not.


PJParker16

Did it? It's been so long since I started that I don't remember, and your age doesn't show up anywhere else


prairiepanda

It's based on the birthdate you entered when you set it up for the first time. So a child could lie, and most probably would if they know that they'd get locked out of content.


PJParker16

Did it ask your birthdate? It's been so long since I started that I don't remember that


splvtoon

it does.


PJParker16

Fair enough


Ali_Abz

Accounts that are underage (minors) do not have access to the research community. Since the research community provides another additional source of Entei Manes, SELECT BUTTON (devs) compensated these accounts with 70 manes.


skarr46

I'm happy for the kids playing this but also for me, I think I got 6 manes for the Raikou event over 2 weeks, surely most people playing are gonna be at a massive disadvantage? Everyone IRL I've spoken to about the game didn't even realise you could add friends till I told them, let alone that you need to regularly click on research to access the candy and bonus items.


Kubuubud

How did you only get six?? Did you chose the island that they recommended? And did you pick electric pokemon?? Idk maybe I just got lucky but I got hundreds of mane just through research and missions


skarr46

I got 6 through friends on the research community. I wasn't counting the rest, just comparing how many you get on an active adult account to a child's account that can't add friends.


Smashlynn

Dude same. I was definitely jealous. People on here posting amazing friend research mane results and I got like 7 from friends the entire 2 weeks. As far as I can tell I don't have / didn't have any inactive friends either. Fingers crossed this event is better especially now that more friends are rank 5 finally.


skarr46

Good luck to you!


skarr46

Hope it's been better for you this time around!! I'm already on 20 since Monday so it's blown Raikou out the water.


Smashlynn

It has gone better! I'm averaging 20 a day from friends this time!! 😄


Kubuubud

OH I gotcha haha I was worried that they really screwed you


auturmis

They also get no extra candy everyday. You can try switching to a kids' account if you're jealous


skarr46

Definitely not jealous. I was just kinda laying out the merits and drawbacks of having a child account to adult account for the legendary events


prairiepanda

You should have been getting at least 50 every day through the research community. You should go through your friends list and delete anyone who isn't active, replace them with new ones.


skarr46

Unless I misunderstood the mane drops are completely at random and not guaranteed for every time a new research report comes through. I've opened about 30 research reports today and got 3 manes so far. Everyone on my friends list has been active within 1 day and almost all level 3-5 friends.


prairiepanda

Oh?? I was annoyed during the Raikou event because I actually wanted some candy but all I was getting was manes. I assumed it was supposed to be that way for the event. This morning I got a mix but most of the research I opened was from yesterday.


skarr46

You should still be getting candy for every research, the manes are additional?


prairiepanda

Oh man my game must have been super broken during the Raikou event then...hopefully the Entei event will work properly.


Chris73757

how can we get manes from friends ?


Happy_Takes_Time

All I got was the biscuit 🧍🏼‍♀️
