Has everybody got Ex Raid passes for next Saturday? Hopefully it'll be another 100% catch rate...

Is there a limit to how many gifts can be given? I was just trying to reciprocate and couldn't.

Igneococcus No. If you can’t send one back, as in it’s greyed out, click it anyway and it will tell you why.

Usually it’s because they’ve not opened the last gift you sent them or you’ve already sent them a gift today and forgot.

SneakyGremlins · 22/08/2018 20:43

Sorry to hijack - so there's no opening limit either?

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 22/08/2018 20:51

SneakyGremlins There is an opening limit - you can open 20 gifts a day Smile

SneakyGremlins · 22/08/2018 20:54

Oh okay!

Thanks Wailmer Smile

Igneococcus · 22/08/2018 20:54

Thanks whattodo I'll probably have a lot more questions. I haven't even tried trading yet.
I have a second Alolan egg going now, hopefully will get something new.

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 22/08/2018 20:59

SneakyGremlins You’re welcome Smile

Thanks whattodo I'll probably have a lot more questions. I haven't even tried trading yet.

Igneococcus Not a problem, I’m always happy to help Smile With trading, you can only trade with someone within 100m, so it has to be a PokePlayer you know in real life and can meet up with to trade.

MuddlingMackem · 22/08/2018 23:52

@BaronessBomburst, have just sent you a friend request. Nice bit of distance between us for Alolan eggs to trade with local friends. Grin

MrsJamin · 23/08/2018 07:10

I sent some people friend requests and now I can't remember who! My pokemon name is my (plain) first name and where I live which is also a verb (don't want to say clearly what it is!)
I'm enjoying these tasks. Need to up the egg hatching, glad I have loads of coins to spend on a good few incubators. Deliberating over whether to get a special box or buying them individually.

milienhaus · 23/08/2018 07:23

I have friend requested a few of you just now (name starts with Emily) - hope that’s ok! I’m ordinarily a very anti-social Pokemon player because I find it slightly embarrassing (even though I love it) ...

Gosh, you lot are enthusiastic, aren't you! I've run out of gifts and need to stock up again, which may take a couple of days as I don't always get to play regularly. They took away a local Pokestop too so I'm better off going into town now. :(

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 23/08/2018 08:19

Gosh, you lot are enthusiastic, aren't you!

BaronessBomburst This thread is actually very casual compared to the other Pokemon Go places I frequent!

I’m a bit of a hardcore player; I play before, during (on break) and after work, basically any free time I have, put quite a bit of money into the game and dedicate a lot of time to IVs and getting the best Pokemon, getting gold gyms, building up the best teams, having the most efficient and beneficial movesets etc. etc.

I’m still not as hardcore as the people that put their life and soul into all the analytical and drastically stuff, though!

PyeWackets · 23/08/2018 08:54

Hurrah, I'm onto the next part of the challenge. Need to hatch 9 eggs. I'm keeping pace with dd so have 2 incubators and I'm not gonna throw all my coins at it, need them for when they upgrade pokemon storage.

TeamRocket · 23/08/2018 08:59

Hi guys, I've added a few of you if nobody minds! Username on there is Supatill.

My trainer code is 9479 9047 8356 if anyone wants to add. Ill send gifts!

kalinkafoxtrot45 · 23/08/2018 09:32

My code is 3392 6897 0162. Added a couple of you already! :)

kalinkafoxtrot45 · 23/08/2018 09:37

Ooh, now I need to go walkabout and get some gifts to send back to my new friends! 🎁 🎁 🎁

Igneococcus · 23/08/2018 09:39

With trading, you can only trade with someone within 100m, so it has to be a PokePlayer you know in real life and can meet up with to trade.

That means I have to find the player who has put a lure on the pokestop that I can reach from my desk at work a few times recently. I'm pretty sure I know who he is if he uses his real name and birth year in his Pokemon name. There are only two people with that name, one of them is too old (and too grumpy to ever have played any game) but the other one looks "like he knows his way around a 20-sided dice" as dp would say and looks the right age. That's going to be an interesting first ever conversation "Oi, X, are you OverlordX93 by chance?"

BaronessBomburst · 23/08/2018 14:02

DS and I have had those conversations with a few randoms in the street before now. 😂 I say random but when you keep seeing the same people, with a phone, hanging around a known gym it actually gets predictable.
I play with DS btw, in case anyone wondered why my avatar is a boy. Although a Dutch girl's name, after the cat. My own iPhone 4 is too old to support PGo so this was our compromise.

SirNilsOlav · 23/08/2018 14:06

My name has Dutch, Baroness! :) Reflects my stature 😂

Igneococcus · 23/08/2018 14:27

I never see anyone else play, rural Scotland, just not enough population although I have seen it pick up now in tourist season. I held the closest gym to work which is at a Heritage Scotland site for something like 4 month over winter but it's changing almost daily at the moment.
I'm playing with ds too, also male avatar and rather inventive spelling (he was only 8 at the time he set it up).

chrisrobin · 23/08/2018 14:44

Hi, I've sent friends requests to some of you, I hope you don't mind. I don't really know any players local to me so I'm looking forward to having some PoGo friends Smile

chrisrobin · 23/08/2018 14:45

Sorry, I forgot- my username starts RK8 and my code is 8644 5382 9098 if anyone would like a new friend

Sistersofmercy101 · 23/08/2018 14:57

Thanks peeps! Grin

Belzzjpn · 23/08/2018 15:00

Latecomer to the thread here, as have been playing on my own for a while, but very pleased to see that I am not on my own, especially with the new research tasks!
My trainer code is
7181 3831 8313
Is it ok if I befriend some of you, please?

Belzzjpn · 23/08/2018 15:01

Oh, and I had forgotten that I had changed my username on here - it’s flipper something or other in Pokemon world.
