I've had three king rocks and two metal coats now. Need the water one for kingdra.

Oooh, I finally got a Dragonite. That's exciting. Hatched a dratini which gave me enough candy to push me over 100.
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Monday, 27 March 2017 10:03 (seven years ago) link
I'm desperate for a shiny magikarp. I've got 550 magikarp candy burning a hole in my pocket.

Anyone else still playing? They finally released legendary birds.

Yeah. My battling days are few and far between now - it takes too long - but I'm still going.

New gym system has vastly upped my coin intake. I have fancy clothes now.
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Monday, 31 July 2017 18:25 (six years ago) link
Are you taking gyms down or just plopping one of your pokes in wherever there's a space?
I had a Blissey in the gym at Hoxton station for a week and didn't get anything back because my Rhydon got kicked out of another gym on the same day, after ten hours. Very annoying.
― Madchen, Monday, 31 July 2017 18:34 (six years ago) link
I'm taking gyms near me (there are a lot in NY...) so I can usually have enuf going that I can get my golden points everyday which is a HUGE improvement over the old system. the legendary raiding thing is p fun tbh if you are in a heavily populated area around, say lunchtime.
― ein Sexmonster (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Monday, 31 July 2017 19:38 (six years ago) link
Both. My office is a gym and there's a gym where I walk the dog so that helps...

Working at a university is great. I just scored a Lugia at my office with the help of a load of PhD students.

Damn right. There were a handful of non uni people who travelled up for the raid (organised on an app called discord which i'd never heard of until last week, as I don't play any other games), but it was mostly PhDs. And I'm a higher level than all of 'em!
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Wednesday, 2 August 2017 14:30 (six years ago) link
...and you caught it which is dope
― ein Sexmonster (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Wednesday, 2 August 2017 14:30 (six years ago) link
Yeah, I think that was my fourth or fifth raid. Missed articuno.
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Wednesday, 2 August 2017 14:56 (six years ago) link
Yeah this game satisfies my twitchy completist tendencies. Used half my free gold yesterday to score an moltres
― ein Sexmonster (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Wednesday, 2 August 2017 15:04 (six years ago) link
What level is everyone on? I'm 31, with 205 pokes in my dex (seen 228). Still missing some pretty obvious ones from the first batch - currently walking an Abra toward 100 candies so my Kadabra can be evolved at last.
― Madchen, Wednesday, 2 August 2017 15:59 (six years ago) link
And my top three are a Rhydon (2877), a Blissey (2769) and a Tyranitar (2482). Which I'm pretty sure you could all beat.

35/237. Didn't get a Mime when I was in Ireland earlier this year -_-
― ein Sexmonster (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Wednesday, 2 August 2017 16:01 (six years ago) link
36/237. Bought a kangaskhan from a dodgy website, to my shame. Have 5 pokes with more than 3000 cp. highest is 3353 dragonite.

So I've been using Discord and planning raids with people and there are 400-500 users in Exeter, and it's like a weird community, and now I've met people who I've only ever seen in gyms before, and it's very strange. Added an extra dimension or several to the game. I've learnt a lot about mechanics and stuff which I didn't know before. Also it seems I'm slightly mythical; one person was impressed to meet me at a raid because I'm 'everywhere'.
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Monday, 4 September 2017 10:50 (six years ago) link
I've been working all summer in a small town in NW Ohio, and got out for a few Pokewalks where I met up with large raiding groups. The difference in the demographic between Seattle/Redmond and here is interesting - lots of biker types in OH vs coder types in WA. Skews older in OH - lots more 10 year olds in WA vs heavily post-high school in OH. And finally after 1 year+ of playing I evolved a gyrados.
― Jaq, Monday, 4 September 2017 22:33 (six years ago) link
The demographic here is very diverse: I've been at raids with teenage boys, entire families, pensioners, international students, PhD researchers, the regional manager of the local cancer research shops, Sainsburys delivery drivers, an older guy on a nice road bike. It's quite a spread. I see some of the same faces really frequently and others just once.
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, 5 September 2017 14:44 (six years ago) link
Was there an update that recently rekindled interested in this game? When biking to the gym or walking the dog, I've been seeing large groups with a range of ages all silently standing in a circle, staring at their phones (and blocking the bike path/sidewalk).
― change display name (Jordan), Tuesday, 5 September 2017 14:56 (six years ago) link
There was a gym re-work to get rid of Blissey towers and added a raid component (why you see all the people) where a group of people can fight a giant version of high value Pokémon and then try and catch it individually using special balls distributed based on damage dealt, gym control & etc

Good to know ty

Raids are p fun tbh but I would rather have a break from the legendaries to score a few TTar, but getting 10K points per legendary raid has me awful close to level 37
― ein Sexmonster (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Tuesday, 5 September 2017 15:49 (six years ago) link
I'm a million off 37.
Did a ttar raid on the way home. I'm fed up of missing entei. Did really well with the birds.
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, 5 September 2017 19:32 (six years ago) link
1/5 on raikou.
― ein Sexmonster (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Tuesday, 5 September 2017 19:40 (six years ago) link
1 for 7. I was 3/4 on lugia, 8/11 zapdos, 3/5 articuno and 5/7 moltres.

Ever since the golden razz nerf I've been using nabnabz
― ein Sexmonster (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Thursday, 7 September 2017 13:04 (six years ago) link
What's nabnabz? (I'll google, obvs.)
Got a second Entei today. Also rubbish.
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Thursday, 7 September 2017 14:12 (six years ago) link
The middle Bananna looking thing I don't bother with spelling on this lol
― ein Sexmonster (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Thursday, 7 September 2017 14:21 (six years ago) link
Oh, nanaberry. Is it helpful? I pretty much only use it for feeding pokes at gyms cos I thought it was useless. They nerfed the effectiveness of golden razzes? The fuckers! No wonder I can't catch legendaries anymore.
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Thursday, 7 September 2017 16:04 (six years ago) link
(Googling nabznabz did nothing, btw...)
Or do you just mean the drop rate?
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Thursday, 7 September 2017 16:05 (six years ago) link
Golden razz Drop rate is what I was talking about. Nanaberry just stops the thing from moving and you can't win if you don't hit so I just use those + curveball

Anyone else still playing?
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Wednesday, 20 December 2017 06:22 (six years ago) link
Still playing! It helps that they've been adding new little mechanics over time to hold my interest, and it certainly doesn't hurt that I live in a megacity with pokéstops every other street. There are several well-organized raiding groups here in Seoul, too, but I'm a bit too casual a player for that.
― Millsner, Wednesday, 20 December 2017 09:36 (six years ago) link
Yeah, the recent additions and raids have definitely made it better. There's a nice little community where I am so I've managed to get all the legendary pokes so far. Only a couple of hundred thousand XP away from level 38 now, but I've stopped pidgey-stacking and lucky-egg-evolving cos it was boring as hell last time I did 100+ pidgeys and 50+ other pokes in two sittings.
