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

They are! They're just around the back of the Gherkin - I pass by most days too.

There are some good postcards to be had in that patch of ground, although I wish somebody would correct the bloody spelling of Scalpel at the 'Scalepl' pokéstop. I've reported it twice and just given up.

'Here Lies Geoffrey Barkington' near Liverpool Street is my favourite, if anybody knows that one. I realise it's getting a bit niche now 😂

Edited

I am going to have to go and find those now. I was in Liverpool Street the other day trying for routes (well, not only that).

Is MadamePlumz a poster from here? We are getting close to levelling up so thought we could coordinate.

Also if anyone wants a new friend, my code is 5072 1495 9452

MadamePlumz is @bedlegs I think

I have odd stripey balls too! Are they the ones in the City of London? They're fairly near my office, and I love sending them.

I added you! I sent you a postcard with odd stripy balls 😀

The vivillon thing has spoilt the postcards a bit for me because I used to think people were pinning the best ones because they liked them (as I did), but now they all get pinned regardless for the scatterbugs. I always like looking at people's postcards and finding good ones to send if I can.

I may be overthinking the postcards 😁

All my local ones are really dull - either playgrounds or fishing signs around the lake near my house. And then there's a bunch at my work which are various artworks around the place. I do love getting and sending interesting ones though!

Thanks all, was going to suggest 10am on Sunday @ISaySteadyOn and @Purpletoes - no worries if that doesn't work, we can hold off for next time.

And thanks @gillybean2 !

ISaySteadyOn · 26/08/2023 07:49

Just tried. Fine for me.

Anyone having problems logging in this morning? I load 90 percent, then nothing.

SocksAndTheCity · 25/08/2023 14:15

I can do Saturday too provided it's before 1pm or 1.15 at a push. Or Sunday after 2pm? Smile

Purpletoes · 25/08/2023 13:58

@newroundhere I can try and see if he can coordinate on Saturday
What time were you thinking of?

Kyorge is so difficult I still need to get one. Will try on Saturday hopefully

ISaySteadyOn · 25/08/2023 11:31

@gillybean2 , gym badges help with raids? How, exactly? Does it help if you have a high level badge even if your team isn't currently in control at the gym?

I did a primal kygore raid using my only remote raid pass. We won but I didn't catch the kygore😢. Gutted

That does suck. It's happened to me twice with Rayquaza. Incredibly frustrating.

@newroundhere am happy to try to coordinate but am going to horse show Sunday so it may not work.

Oh that sucks. Always seems worse with a remote pass, especially if it’s your last.
sorry if I’m teaching you to suck eggs but I assume you know to use a golden razz every time and aim for at least a great curve ball? Also you get more balls if it’s a gym that’s your team colour at the time, you have higher level friends in the raid and your gym badge is higher level too.

If you’ve got a raid local to you with a couple of friends willing and ready to join I’ve found the campfire host raid can be ok. Depending on the raid you may have to wait a while for a team.

I still prefer the go raid party app (others are available) to find a team as you don’t have to wait for 5 if you already have some friends lined up or it’s a low raid you could solo. You can look for a raid on a gym your team colour. Plus if looking for a raid team to join you often get added to raids miles away so it can help your distance trading badge if you do end up with rubbish iv’s. The campfire seems determined to find ‘local’ trainers and you have to wait for a full party of 5.

Don’t worry about coordinating with me. Go for it whenever suits you.
