Had another game crash right as a egg was hatching. Done with this game until that big is fixed. Stop making me walk for nothing!

no, but credit where sadly due

a people's geography via pokestops is unlikely but somebody should look into making an "it happened here" GPS app.

Turns out that if you're on a boardwalk and you haven't maxed out your pokeballs you aren't trying

tried my first fight yesterday. either my signal cut out or my phone hit a bug. after a minute or two it stopped registering taps and i got to watch my 6 get wiped out. fun!

so there's no way to get pokecoins / get the bag upgrade etc. without paying real money right?

take over a gym, go to the "shop," click the shield, you get stardust and coins.

500 dust + 10 coins for each gym you're holding; i find it tough to hold more thna one at a time, though. By the time you walk to another, someone's knocked down the last one.

You can click it once a day, roughly, meaning it'll only take you almost a month to upgrade your storage!

im addicted to this game. goodbye my phone battery.

i live in new york city there's no way in hell i'm taking over any gym that i can get to xp

Even if you're low level, you can take a gym. Just wait until it's already getting attacked by your team, and jump into it once they take it.

I haven't had any gym success. my highest cp pokemon is a 690 hypno :( only at level 11 though.

my new goal is to try and knock over as many gyms as i can w/ the last hour of my 20-hour timer going and see what happens

i've tried a few battles and maybe it's just my phone being terrible but i can never tell what's going on, if or when i'm hitting the other one, if and when i'm dodging, etc. i just keep tapping on them and keep swiping mine left or right or something and the health bars both gradually go down except all mine die first. it doesn't feel like there's any connection between my input and the stuff that's happening on screen

is anyone else a fan of all their 70+ year old friends complaining about pidgey because no joke i love our world

A guy in his 80s asked me about Pokemon go today. I tried my best.

god help me i'm getting into metagame and IVs and all this shit i have a problem

cbf with gyms any more, no point in its current state

since i hit level 25 roughly every second pokemon runs away. the balance in this game is terrible. i should not have to burn off a load of ultra balls on a 10 cp pidgey that fucks off regardless.

fuckin' Pidgey

Pidgys are great. Cheap evolutions.

otm

to their intermediate form

collect 60 pidgeys, crack a lucky egg, evolve all of the pidgeys, rake in xp

xp yes

all pidgeys: one day i will be my ultimate form the majestic pidgeot
me: no pidgey

ive evolved many pidgeys into pidgeots thinking that the cp multiplication would make a p bad ass pidgeots, never happens.

I realized yesterday that every time I went to the bathroom all day I clicked on a pokestop.

a pokestop & a low-key plop

for unfun min-max purposes I avoid catching 2nd or 3rd level evolutions I haven't caught yet so I can evolve them under a lucky egg. I had a super successful egg period despite only getting through 40 evolves because my phone is so slow and crashed 3 times. about 12 of the evolves were new pokedex additions so double double exp.

is there a pt to having more than 1 of the same kind of thing? ie yes what do i do with all these fucking pidgeys

if you transfer them you get a candy so I just transfer all except the highest cp, unless the highest cp is pretty low, in which case i transfer them all and trust that i will later catch a higher cp one that'll be worth evolving
