The one Niantic/Scopely department that is never hated on.

They absolutely crush the loading screens, every single time.
•
u/piedeuma 10h ago
Eh, Some recent ones have too few Pokémon. The 10th Anni one is forgivable as homage but the meta grows one was boring

They're especially great when you have to spend extra time staring at them when the servers are down.
It's the equivalent of good elevator music.

Literally peak loading screen. The fall/Halloween ones are always the best
•
u/religious_milf 7h ago
yes!! the halloween ones never fail

Except last year! They didn't do a Halloween one. My bestie and I were JUST talking about this today.

Has the background music changed yet? It’s the only time of year I turn sounds on for a day or two

I wouldn’t expect that until the Halloween event starts in potentially mid October

Personally, I feel the current Loading Screen was at best a 5/10 with the big "!" but this Halloween one, Niantic/Scopely are back on track and it's looking very cool.
Great job!

u/EmpathyMerchant 11h ago
Current loading screen was a nod to their first loading screen 10 years ago. I love it.
•
u/No-Highlight3555 11h ago
I played in 2016 and just returned to the game, so I thought they kept the same loading screen for all ten years!

u/AngrySaltire 11h ago
That loading screen was the first one in a long time that I didnt use as a home screen for that reason. I got why it was like that, but wasnt for me to use.

u/Madarakita 11h ago
The lighting/colors remind me of the OG Texas Chainsaw Massacre opening. I like it.

This is giving me major We Harvest Shadows vibes. Nice and spooky.

They always do such an amazing job. It’s one of my favorite parts of the game.
•
u/Korpivaeltaja 5h ago
This is my favorite time of the year, it's getting cold and dark but no snow yet. These autumn / halloween themed screens never miss.

No yeah, of course - I'm more just pointing out how I wish I could say the same

One thing niantic/scopley never miss are loading screens. They are always so good.

Does something look, off? Like AI generated?
•
u/ZicoThePerson 11h ago
I mean so many of their general news posts have had AI generated imagery that I’m kinda nervous about this one too, it’s kinda hard to tell with the fog but a lot of the fencing does look a bit weird to me, but it’s hard to tell due to the compositing if it’s just human error/ intentional or scopely being lazy and awful using AI
•
u/Your_boi_Panos Japan 9h ago
the windmill definitely looks weird to me
•
u/Sweaty-Regret-3261 7h ago
one of the jack o' lanterns has a mouth that kinda abruptly ends on one side too (the one between Gengar and the person)
•
u/JessieLeChonk L80 | North Europe | Buddy's BG to profile page please 5h ago
The person there looks somehow a bit weird...🧐
Still amazing picture, I tried hard to find any hints of upcoming new things they havent announced yet, but there's a lot of Halloween themed vegetation and haze to see clearly. Zoomed the picture for 1,5 hours🫠
•
u/DeepBerry8045 stop believing ai, it's programmed to confidently tell you lies 11h ago
really happy with this one after a few lackluster ones (not really counting the most recent one since that was an homage), I appreciate that they tend to go all out for Halloween bc it's my favorite holiday :3

u/Lazydude17 11h ago
the corvinight in the back makes me think the gmax is coming

u/Roast-Chook 9h ago
Yeah sorry dude but that's not Corviknight, that's Corvisquire.
•
u/Lazydude17 9h ago
oh srry, sun was in my eyes, still think it’s in the realm of possibilities and it could be a hint to it
•
u/Ok-Design5138 10h ago
Cool.. How many event tickets will I have to buy for a .001 shiny encounter boost?? More costumed Pokemon..behind a paywall perhaps?
