New thread. No routes where I am. We're going to be at Pokémon Go Fest on 6 August. V excited.

A month and my several routes still under review. Sad

Many thanks to J, if it's someone on here, who helped me level up to level 9 by killing a mushroom in Pikmin. Smile

I think you just do the bits that work for you. If you tried to do every pay to play bit and quest and power up every legendary, it would be a full time job.

It’s starting to demand too much! It’s like when a TV programme expands beyond its scope and it’s as if the joy is diluted

I tried the party feature with DH and DD2. It's kind of fun. It was nice for all of us to have our avatars all on the screen together. And we enjoyed that we could all do tasks together and help each other that way.

I'd do it, but there's only me!

I like the new background when catching. It feels warm and friendly in a way.

Must be for Halloween, I can see pumpkins under the distant gyms and pokestops.

OrderOfTheKookaburra · 19/10/2023 01:23

Or is it for Halloween?

What the hell? My landscape is showing autumn with falling leaves etc. I'm in Australia, it's SPRING here!!!!!

I was going to post something similar not long ago @CornishGem1975 .

I like the big/regular events like Go Fest and Community Day but now we have routes and Zygarde cells, showcases, the campfire thing which I don't understand, endless mini events and now parties (which won't affect me to be fair, because I don't know anybody to play with IRL).

It seems like ages since I just went out to walk around catching whatever pokémons were about and battle in some gyms and do the odd raid. I've finished the vivillons now but that was another constant thing to try and keep on top of and I agree that's got a bit much 🤔.

CornishGem1975 · 17/10/2023 20:04

I've really turned off from Pokemon in the past few months with the routes and cells and parties and the cost of remote raid passes. It's ruined the fun for me!

Knotaknitter · 17/10/2023 12:29

I've been out with my son this morning, we did two raids with the party power button and completed two challenges. We weren't out for much over half an hour but it worked, no glitches.

OrderOfTheKookaburra · 17/10/2023 10:06

Well that's annoying, my DSs got me back into Pokémon Go and then abandoned it!

Well, guess I will just have to get DH, DD1 and DD2 to do it with me.

@ISaySteadyOn I think^^ you have to be within trading distance which means I will be ignoring the research!

Does anyone get this party thing? How does it work? Could I invite you all on an adventure or something?

@Tarkan Oooh I hadn't heard of Pikmin, thanks, am having a go.

I tried the Harry Potter, and the complicated sci fi one, but this one looks more my cup of tea.

I think it was someone in here who mentioned it and I love it. I couldn't get into the Harry Potter one either and I've downloaded the monster hunter one but haven't tried it yet.

I've actually got my friend's DS, both my DC and my youngest's friend all playing Pikmin now too. My DC stopped playing Pokémon Go a while ago so it's nice to have something we can go out playing together again.

@gillybean2 @ochnanoch Thank you both. I will open at a couple of minutes past two. Will hold off on the others. Pretty sure I will get enough points to level up which is exciting!

gillybean2 · 15/10/2023 11:52

Have they rolled out routes showing on the map to everyone? I’m finding it helpful but my closest routes aren’t actually the closest to me and they really aren’t close requiring a car journey to get too.

Still nothing where I live despite submitting a couple of routes weeks ago. Three submissions in other villages went through and published immediately. Really don’t understand the logic behind what gets published and what needs to be reviewed.

Tarkan · 15/10/2023 10:19

I've added him.

Just realised my friend list was full at 390 again and I bet it's because I also play Pikmin Bloom. I need to go delete some people who haven't played for a while I think.

My son is in need of more friends if anyone is also on the lookout for extra XP! His code is 520638434709

Tarkan · 14/10/2023 17:27

I found a new local route yesterday that I could definitely follow. It's called Morrisons to Spoons. Get some shopping then go get a Spoons lunch, or vice versa. Grin I'm only about a 10 minute walk to Morrisons from my house so not too bad.

SocksAndTheCity · 14/10/2023 15:37

I'm at an event tomorrow at 2 so probably won't be playing (unless I think I can get away with it), but everybody go ahead.

Seriously impressed with 49 Zygarde cells @thirdfiddle ! I have six and I was pretty happy about it but I just never remember to do the routes.

ochnanoch · 14/10/2023 09:54

@JulianFawcettMP

I'm M-95 Happy to level up on Sunday at 2.
