Pokémon Go #8: Don't mess with my Hoothoot

[PickAChew]

T'other thread was getting full and there's shinies and stuff!

I also wish they'd sort out egg dates, and inprove the 'nearby' menu by introducing a feature to toggle back and forth between Pokémon at nearby stops, and Pokémon in the wild nearby.

Yeah, I just hit level 31 and got like about four balls and a couple of revives or some shit. Given how much you need to play at that level, I think they need to give away a bit more.

I always get a bit of a meh feeling just after levelling up because it feels like you will need to play for literally ever to get any further and it feels a bit pointless.

I'm early into level 29 and it's begining to feel like I'm drifting aimlessly before I can get a good sniff at level 30. I'm brewing for a mass evolution and can use a few special items to get new pokemon on a lucky egg, but I'd like to get some more commons like pidgeys to bulk it up first. I'm assuming that there'll be an event in the next week too, so I'm holding off to see what that brings.

I've been struggling on balls recently which is always frustrating. There seems to be an abundance of flaming purple potions again which is a complete waste of time.

At least the gap between me and the dominant players in the gyms has closed up and I'm getting into a more secure position in the gym.

School holidays cramp my milage though!

Loving the new login screen after updating. ❤️

All the gyms round here are owned by the blue team. We spend ages bringing one down then ten minutes later it's blue again, without a single spotted player.

Spoofers are ruining the gyms round here. They are all level ten and get powered up again with no one in sight.

It's the same here Abbey & Dame - all blue & level 10 within an hour of being taken down. It's so unfair!

About the Go Plus - can anyone tell me if it lets you get pokestops in a car? Like if you are driving through a town at above the game's 20kmph limit or whatever it is, can you get the stops with the Plus, even if on your phone it would tell you 'Try again later'?

The shame is that I love playing in the gyms, it was so exciting to start with because they constantly changed hands. Now if i see a blue gym stuffed full of bastard blisseys I just walk on by.

We have a weird thing going on with gyms here- all of them are red and held by level 6 10cp podgeys.

Psammead, it's a bit hit and miss with getting pokestops whilst in a car. Sometimes I get them and sometimes I get 'try again later'

Upstairs on a bus with a big heavy thing to return to a shop, or else we'd have hopped off and hunted it down.

Are podgeys really fat pidgeys?

omg PickAChew! I saw one from a bus once, it was at the top of a cliff.

I would have abandoned my heavy thing and my kids and claimed them at the depot later

Someone told me it doesnt work on a bike. Just racked up 2.5k on a 25 minute cycle. Awesome

A podgey is what you get when you are typing pidgey with your podgey little fingers.

Interesting news here about possible changes to the gym system and 'raids'.

Not the best nest haul today (for me, one chikorita, which ran away, but I did bag an onix, using a pinapberry), but we've done a hell of a lot of walking. I got my 10k buzz from my fitbit just after 1pm.

I'm a bit sunburnt

I live next door to my gym so I have to chuck my snorlax a berry every now and then that's fine.

That would only sort the spoofing out if they don't spoof their way to give it a berry etc.

Hello. I can't see how I will ever get into gyms. Round here they are stuffed with blisseys x3 my cp. once I've got two more magikarp I've got a massive evolution session planned. I've promised some of my son's friends they can come and help us.

I'm not liking the new update. Pokémon seem sparser and even crap ones take about 10 balls to catch. Meh.

I can usually get into the gym at my tube station but I get kicked out within a couple of hours. I've never been in a gym longer than about a week and that was one in the City over Christmas which I managed to drop a mon in as we were waiting at lights.

Saw a magikarp at a (human) gym a couple of streets away got out of my PJs and walked round to get it and now have the 400 candies! also found a dratini on the way.

Feel I might be becoming an addict.
