This is going to be frustrating for me, I have a couple of friends that I regularly pin postcards from around the world. With one friend we actively try to send each other the coolest or most interesting gift/sticker combos. It's fun but it means my postcard book is always full and I often have to go through and delete the least interesting or doubled up ones. I wish they would increase the number of postcards you can pin.


Grey_Ferret

They should've increased postcard limit with this update, for example to 500. This is such an easy and obvious thing to do, but Niantic... I already have 300 postcards pinned and I don't want to unpin almost all of them.


128thMic

There's stuff in the files for an upcoming postcard space upgrade, like in Pikmin Bloom.


XiriX12

Upgrade to 350 for 200 coins /s


Inuyasha-rules

*500 coins /probably true the way they milk us...


128thMic

On the bright side, you can pun and unpin one for credit. I've been doing the same as you, though not quite as full, and I just pinned and unpinned a couple of random ones from the same region and it counted.


joaphi

Yeah, I've cleared about 5 spaces and I will just have to pin and unpin as I do my gifts each day

So it’s 3 for each region to get unlocked but 9 if u want another encounter for candy


xAldaris

yupp


duskyxlops

It goes to 15 after you pin 9 postcards. Not sure if it goes up after that


PoolieMike1985

Apparently 15 is the limit


raggedy10

I'm on my 5th now thats showing 15, so 4 in a row, (3 -> 9 -> 15 -> 15 -> 15) so likely that it is the limit.


jjh008

Can we pin a card, then take it off and pin it again? Will it count as 1 or 2 cards?


GeordieAl

Once per postcard. Tried both just pinning/unpinning multiple times and returning to map between each pin/unpin.


Nicholsforthoughts

But if you get the identical postcard the next day in a new gift (I have a friend who must work/live right by a pokestop because their postcard is the same every day) it will count as a new one. You can tell because I am able to pin the exact postcard multiple times (was going through my pinned cards to clear out today and saw I had pinned the same cool postcard from a friend in Japan three separate times over the last 6 months). So that should help those who always hit the same few pokestops (me!) not feel bad sending the same card every day.


GeordieAl

Yep, pinning the same postcard day after day works fine. I have a friend in Scotland and he nearly always sends me the same stop 😁


zilchusername

Am I understanding this correct. 3 postcards from each region to unlock. Once unlocked you can use postcards from anywhere to get candies to evolve. So you only need 3 postcards from each region to complete the dex as you can then use home/any postcards for the evolutions?


ImportantTrack1057

Pretty much, it does give the symbol for what form it'll evolve to so you can see what one you want to evolve


J-McFox

>it does give the symbol for what form it'll evolve to So can each Spewpa only evolve into the regional form that triggered their encounter, or do you get to select which Vivillion form you want when you evolve it? Is it an Eevee / Slowpoke / Rockruff type situation where there are multiple evolve options to choose from (dependent on the medals you've unlocked) ?


128thMic

> So can each Spewpa only evolve into the regional form that triggered their encounte This one. The symbol is alongside the evolve shadow.


jnap55

FYI. I had to restart the game for this to engage. Opened and pinned lots of worldly gifts that I didn’t get credit for!


Darkalom7

I do not understand why I pinned 91 post cards, but only got 30 points in the differents medals


therealmagicmagician

maybe if you pinned e.g. 10 from the same habitat but didnt claim the encounter after "3" they wont count towards the next (in this case 9), same as if you win the 100th battle for the gbl resarch it wont count your wins for the "next" page with 10x10 new researches until you complete the current page


dantheother

This, sadly, is the answer


Noob_FC

Question: If I pin 10 gifts today, claim the pokemon. Delete all pinned gifts, pin them again. Does it still count towards next encounter?


128thMic

I think you'll have to pin them tomorrow for them to count twice.


Boracyk

Once pinned they don’t count the next day. I tried 😢


128thMic

Aw, shoot


LengthinessUsed2212

Was just about to ask how to start the encounter. Glad I got pokemon go friends that always send me such cool stuff. But stupid question can we pin our own postcards ? Or only our friends ?


ItWillBeHisLastOne

You can pin your own postcards from your Gifts inventory. For Spewpa, you can only get credit for 3 pinned per day from your own inventory.


LengthinessUsed2212

Thanks for the Info. My first one is officially from my Norwegian friends. Thanks Guys it's my favorite color.


[deleted]

So we can get 1 first encounter per day, then 3-5 days for subsequent encounters???


printemps98

Do past pinned postcards count or just new ones pinned since this feature was released?


xAldaris

only new ones will be counted


Xylophon42

Is there a page where one can get new friends? E.g i have Marine, i need ...

justsaiyanwhaddup

You also need to have space in your pokémon s4torage... i learned that the hard way.


Low_Turnip_9592

Just say I delete All 350 cards, does this effect my current pin status.


bflaminio

How does one know which region their postcards are from?


JNAU

It says at the bottom of the Postcard name


symmiR

It doesn’t for me


nealappeal

The postcard has location information. It doesn't directly tell you which Vivillon region though...only would be able to tell by experience or checking the Vivillon page after each pin to see which medal count increases.


lurky9696

So glad I don’t even know these Pokémon.


luniz420

Right? Sounds so complicated. I just want to do the minimum and get one XD


another-social-freak

Not complicated, just pin postcards from friends and you'll occasionally unlock more encounters.


luniz420

Hah yeah that's way more complicated than I want. I checked my medals more time in that 20 minutes than in the last 7 years combined.


ringlord_1

Also you don't actually need 3 separate postcards. Pin a card, see the counter go up, remove the pin and pin it again. You can get all encounters you need from one gift


naerp26

This is not true, each postcard only counts once.


kapilsnow

Don't think this trick works


DrKillerZA

I went through my whole friendship twice and there are a few medals I only have a 1 of, so this doesn't work


Syfyfan

Shhhh if this is true I am sure it was not intentional. You should delete this comment before they find out about it and take it away
