Pokemon Go #17: Mankey Gone To Heaven

Great to have a friend already! My DS will be so pleased after school.

@TheFimbleFowl @soupforbrains have added you too if that’s okay?

And I got a new colourful egg

I’ve been lurking for a while too!

I play with my 8yo DS but we don’t know anybody who plays it in real life and I know he would love it if I got some friends on there. We are on level 33 but rarely do raids.

My trainer code is 0553 3020 4364.

Thanks!

I'm happy to give my code too if anyone wants to message me.

@soupforbrains i sent you a friend request. I’m jorabbixx

Didn't get it

@NotARegularPenguin yes, you can send 1 gift per day to each friend. and they can do the same to you. by exchanging gifts you improve the friendship level which gives you both bonuses if you raid/battle together or reduced stardust fees when trading.

@WhatToDo yeah I processed that thought after I'd posted.

Got some gifts today and also 2x 10k eggs which is unusual. So if I make friends with people here can I send them my gifts?

Also there are badges for both number of trades and distance of trades so having friends further afield is actually a positive

soupforbrains Friends further afield doesn’t mean anything if you never meet them in real life though, because they’ll only add to that badge if you trade with them (and you can only do it within 100m of each other).

@TheFimbleFowl @soupforbrains Have sent a Friend Request

I'm happy to be friends with whoever, The locations you share are stops where you have been, not your actual location at the specific time. And I am fine with that.

Also there are badges for both number of trades and distance of trades so having friends further afield is actually a positive :)

@TheFimbleFowl I have sent you a Pogo Request. I am Orphan86 on there.

Anyone else who would like to add me my code is: 5778 6138 6201

I enjoyed the last thread until people made me feel unwelcome because I said it was just a game and I wouldn't spend a three figure sum on getting to a raid. The threads opening line was "everyone welcome" so I assumed it would be. It would be good to know if there is room for 'light-hearted' players to join in or you are hardcore only.

MrsJamin We have all repeatedly said that casual and hardcore players are welcome, that either playing style is fine.

I think the problem lay in your insinuation that several of us were wasting our time and money on “just a game”. I personally didn’t appreciate the belittling.

If you want to be a casual player that’s perfectly fine and you are welcome, but unpleasant comments against hardcore players are not welcome (just like unpleasant comments about casual players would not be welcome either).

That explains it

Also on my nearby this morning there is a shadow. A spikey looking thing. What's that?!

tumpymummy It’s Solrock; Lunatone’s counterpart

They were always confirmed to only be semi-regional and that they would swap eventually, we just weren’t sure when!

Did you get the gifts after your egg slots were full? If yes, can you let me know if you get an egg?

SneakyGremlins I already had a free slots, else I wouldn’t have opened them! I’ve got several unopened now, saved for when slots become free again as I don’t want to miss out of the chance of an Alolan egg

I’ve recently starting lurking on this thread, my god the things I didn’t know about this game! IV was news to me, and just ordered myself a gotcha

I have no Pokemon friends in real life so can I throw caution to the wind and share my code?

betty thankyou for the heads up but I'm not fussed really I appreciate your concern though!

I play every day but have obviously missed a notification somewhere. Trading?! Have no idea how that works. Also on my nearby this morning there is a shadow. A spikey looking thing. What's that?! Only notification I have had recently told me about the new legendary raid boss. I'm level 35.

Sneaky I don't know if you're ok with it, but you have posted several pics that could be extremely identifying to where you live (and I don't just mean your closest park). You may want to get MN to delete one or two of them.
Sorry to be OTT, but don't want anyone to be vulnerable on a forum that's supposed to be anonymous.

Ah I see. Thank you!

If you click on the gift does it tell you what pokestop you got it from? To avoid sending one from next to your house if you don’t want to.
