I played it for a week after it came out, its kind of stupid IMO. I live 5 miles from the nearest gym, so I have to drive to town, park across the street, and sit in my car like a stalker to even use the gym. So basically if you live across the street from a gym, you have a distinct advantage. I do live on a lake though, and was absolutely wrecking some water Pok�mon 24/7 for that week I had it...

Complains about one advantage people have in the game only to admit one of his own. Gtfo

hatched or caught? what are the skills?

Hmmm...I don't remember. I've hatched one and caught one. One is 93 and the other 96. I think I hatched the 96, but couldn't say for sure.

Both have Hyper Beam as their special move. The 93 has Zen Headbutt, and the 96 has Lick as their quick move.

Got a 10k in the incubator - just a couple k short of hatching. I'll knock it out over lunch. Eevee here I come!!!

[juggernaut74ia]

Welp...I called it...Another F@))(#%&*!^$ Eevee...and not even a very good one.

Nothing but chit pokemon lately - over an hour at lunch - I caught about 25 various mons - not a single one with an IV above 65

[cannonballdooky]

Found a Weezing in the wild, 180CP, lmao.

Trying my best to still have fun with this game, getting into the gym grind but they really need to do something about only having a few viable defenders and everyone else being useless.

I have gotten bored of this game. With no tracker, third party trackers being taken away, and ivs being nerfed compared to before, Niantic has successfully destroyed their own game. lol

They're purposefully slowing the game down. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because:
-quite a few people are completing their pokedex and aren't playing as much and they don't want the new players filling it as quickly
-gym stagnation

They already know once it gets cold out the game is going to slow down tremendously so maybe they're slowing things down to revamp through the winter and bring a huge update for spring when everyone can get back outside.

I'm being over optimistic with the above statement.

dam bros today was an interesting day. FInally getting back into working out cause i decided to compete again next april. After todays work out at the gym i decide to run at a park with pokestops instead of just doing the stairmasters. Omw there i saw a hitmonlee shadow, and so i had to drive around that area 3 times to locate it since the tracker is dead. found and caught it so i was pretty excited. Got to the park and i remember back then when i walked a lap it was exactly 1km. 5 laps aint bad. (1lap=0.3mile) So i started jogging with my phone out(my hand got tired so quickly so i decided to not catch pokes or spin the pokestops) After a lap i only gained 0.8km.. With my stamina back to crap status i stopped at like 2.4km and went home. hahhaha


anyway i havent been to taht part of town lately and cot dam 90% of the gyms are level 10 mystics. haha. I kinda want a valor or instinct account so i can drop a level and put mine in. anyone got an extra mystic or valor account tehy wanna spare??

They're purposefully slowing the game down.

Seems to me like they have increased the frequency of rare spawns and hatches. A friend hatched a Snorlax and 2 Lapras today. I hatched a Snorlax today, too. People in my FB groups are reporting multiple rare mon sightings per day. I caught a Dratini in a grocery store parking lot that was always non-water before. Others are reporting Dratini spawning in new places as well.

They are rolling out the 6 mon training scheme right away, according to their update page. Yeah, they are stonewalling on the tracker issue, but everything else points to them trying to keep people playing throughout the winter.

I was saying the same thing a few weeks ago when it was like that in my area but we have gone pretty dry with the rare stuff. Maybe the rare spawning rates migrate as well?

Well, looks like they went ahead with the gym update;

http://pokemongolive.com/en/post/ver-update-101016/

Catch Bonus: Trainers can earn a catch bonus for a Pok�mon type as they catch more of a specific type.

Updated Gym Training: Trainers can now bring six Pok�mon to battle at friendly Gyms. The CP of the Pok�mon you are battling may be temporarily adjusted lower for your training session.

Egg & Incubator Screens: These will periodically update the distance walked without the Trainer needing to close and reopen the screen.

Fixed several audio issues.

Decreased the evolution animation time.

Minor fixes

Edit: just read that Pokemon levels will be based on your trainer levels - NOT on the Pokemon you use to train the gym.

So I guess that it'll help make useless Pokemon be able to attack since they may be around the same level.. but it's still unlikely to see any changes in the gym meta imo (beyond low levels now having a chance at putting low CP Pokemon in).


Biggest problem with it to me is that revives/potions are rare to come by.. my gf has had under 10 revives for like 2 weeks now.. with training being easier the gyms will all be higher levelled meaning more potions and revives will be needed to take them down...

Thank the fuking lord. Probably my biggest gripe with the game

just hit level 30. 20+ max revive and i have 50+ revives that i was gonna throw away

[SpicyCurrie]

eat chit bro



Lmao I used to throw away like 70 revives and various potions. Then I started doing gym battles and burnt through everything. Slowly adding to my stockpiles now and have around 50 revives/30 hypers. Felt bad having my entire team dead/near dead for a week

[arn710]

I wonder if they'll ever do anything about the luck only with movesets

It really sucks bad grinding out 125 starter candies only to end up with fuking sludge bomb as your main move or 250 candies and 2 sludge bombs in a row in my case

I guess I should consider myself lucky that I got Fireblast for my Charizard

[digitalchi]

played since day 2 and stopped like a month ago at lvl 21 with 2 10k eggs and 7 5k eggs about to hatch. This game had so much potential but tanked for me pretty quickly

[arn710]

In this case, yep

Same thing happened with 2 Victreebells as well though. 625 candies gone and got 1 decent battler out of it

[TheIronAsylum]

Quit then

Or at least spare us your nonsensical rambling

[dmoneythegoat]

Got another 10k egg at the zoo today. Last three were eevee, eevee, kabuto so wish me luck boyos. Reps to correct predictions

Also surprisingly the zoo did not have anything special. You'd think a big,popular, outdoorsy place where people will stay for a few hours at least would have a great selection. Saw nothing but paras, pidgeys, and eevees

Venusaur with Sludge isnt that bad, can do decent damage against execs if your good at dodging quick attacks. Execs are so common that you dont really need a Venusaur with solarbeam cause most people will have a few execs and victre/viles with solar beam that can be used as well.

I have a 96% IV sluge bomb benusaur, powered him up a bit and he does well aainst both water and grass mons. Not great, but def versatile. Also pretty good gym defender

[FlexLex]

On a side note, hatched my first 10k in like three weeks and its a fuking jinx. They need to get rid of the shyt mons in 10ks if they are gonna be this rare,

[Jattfusion]

new version already out on the google app store? i wanna know how xp many pts u get, bumping up ur gym?

[YouMadOrMirin]

lol v.2 of this thread is the same as v.1.

Same people bitching about the game yet still playing, FUKING LOL

[IH8RICE]

Damn brahs, good night for me and my buddy. 2 snorlax, an omanyte, a dratini, a starmie(meh), a victribell, and I hatched a dratini. Had a grimer on my screen that I couldn't quite find in time but I can't complain. I now have enough candy to evolve kabuto and omanyte, I'm 11 candy from a muk and 14 candy from a dewgong. The only one left after that is hitmonchan.
