Going poke-hunting with @Doug Sundseth and his awesome wife was a fun highlight last year. Huzzah! --OneBoot :D FWIW, I uninstalled the game sometime last year when it wanted what I thought were unreasonable permissions and wouldn't run without them. Cheryl tells me that they backed off on that and she's still playing regularly, though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dilvish the Deliverer Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I started playing again within the last couple of months. Hopefully I dont get ultra competitive/completionist like I did last time I played. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator OneBoot Posted May 16, 2019 Moderator Share Posted May 16, 2019 I re-downloaded it. I have...a lot of gifts to pick up! I still have the problem that I either need to drive places to spin for pokeballs (closest one is a 15 min walk away, located at a fountain in the middle of a roundabout ), or else pay real money. This is why I uninstalled it last time, even though I find the gameplay itself fun. Huzzah! --OneBoot :D 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteWulfe Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 All I know is I suspect people are tired of getting "propeller sculpture" from me as a gift. Not my fault it's like right there, in front of my favourite coffee shop... And half a block north of the nearest farmers market. So I usually wind up with, uhm, a "few" gifts from there. I've been saving HMCS Nonsuch Howitzer for... I dunno. Somebody. Partially because whenever I go by there I usually don't have PoGo up - something about work, and driving 60kph being more important than a game... ^_^;;;; 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The geology building has a pretty display of stone slabs on the wall which I can just barely reach from my office. Then there are the few between bus stop and the building. I only sometimes get variation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if you didn't, you weren't really in it to win it. Unrelated: you can find pokemons in jail cells.

By the time I quit, I was probably 1.5 - 2 million XP behind and getting further back. It was clear that you were earning XP significantly faster than I was. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had three weeks of meandering a bustling city and living in an office; not much better to do in the evening than take every gym on campus. Slowed down since then 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sirithiliel Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 booted up the game for the first time in over a month only to see that you now have to pay real money to buy special lures to evolve new evolutions for the new stuff. That's awful, locking new evolutions behind a pay barrier. Bad enough you have to own a completely different game in order to get Meltan, or have to know people in order to do raids and get new legendaries (and even then, never catch them 98% of the time because of the awful catch rate), but now this? kind've glad i quit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sirithiliel Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 (edited) still annoying to have something as basic and core to the game as evolving locked behind it. You get coins from gyms, which we do not have many of, and are often enmy-controlled and you quickly get kicked out when it is my team color. I barely earn coins at all, so it's not that big a comfort to me that you can get them that way, becuase ultimately it's still a pay-wall raids are stupid enough, this is just more so annoying. I feel like the game is punishing people that don't have friends that play, or don't earn a lot of coins becuase their town isn't their gym-color, or don't want to spend money. I never thought they'd lock something like new pokemon behind the need to spend money. And if your town isn't majority YOUR color, then you aren't earning coins and you HAVE to spend money if you want the new stuff Edited May 19, 2019 by Sirithiliel 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
