Murder is on the menu.
I travel a little bit for work and for leisure, so I've managed to get a few regionals through that (Mime, Heracross, Corsola, Volbeat), and it seems like a few folks in my city have been open to trading. I need a Kangaskhan to complete my Kanto dex, but it seems like so many people out here have gotten them via swapping account information over a Reddit service and someone in Australia catching it for them.

Am I weird that I'm not really interested in the cheated 'mons or is this something other people have been concerned about?

I think it's a little arbitrary, but you do you and set whatever ground rules you want for how you're gonna win at pokemon. Like as long as you're not demanding people send you videos to prove they 'earned' their pokemon before they can raid with you, trespassing on military bases, or murdering folks over gyms, you're still being a lot more normal than some of the people playing this game

it's kind of nuts, yes. I hope they keep an eye on it because for people in rural/low stop density areas I bet internet friends shipping them items en masse was amazing, and I want that to continue.

for anyone having to throw out dozens of berries, balls, potions, and revives a day though, probably welcome


on the other hand 10 pinaps or 5 ultra balls at once was just absurd no matter how you look at it

You can trash research tasks and try to find something easier for you. Alternatively you can complete them but don’t “cash in” until the next day and it will count as a stamp for that date.
Yeah, I managed to complete the curveball with my first catch of the day and I'm saving a few easier ones to cash in later. Here's hoping!

EDIT: Like the three I've got lined up now is 'get 3 great throws' which should be easy, 'catch 5 weather boosted pokemon' which is also easy, and 'evolve 1 water pokemon' which I'm 2 candies away from evolving my spheal, so I'm saving that one for now.

Yeah, like most of you I think this is definitely a good thing. I've thrown away more berries, balls and potions in the last couple days than I have in the last month. What I'd really like to see at this point is either an increase in the number of eggs you can carry, or even the ability to buy more infinite incubators. Make it something stupid like $10, or even just limit them to 1 or 2 per account, but this whole having to spend all my coins on incubators every month or so just to clear space is murder.

First batch of Alolans done in the incubators I could spare, very first one was a Vulpix! She is from Georgia and she's my buddy and she's great. Also hatched: a Grimer from Chicago and a local Meowth.

I literally have no understanding of this. I’ve done a few raids with groups I’ve come across here and there. Maybe a few times I’ve found ones from a local Facebook group or discord. As long as you have 10-12 people, you’re going to beat the friggin thing anyway - why is there a need to be so selective and so secretive?

I haven’t done a TON of legendary raids (I’ve done maybe 40 since they started), and I’ve done them with a lot of different groups, and never ONCE have we failed to beat the thing. I think the least amount of time left was 40 seconds, and that was a Kyogre we did with 7 total people. Once you beat it, it’s an individual thing to catch it anyway, so what the hell is the big deal about who’s allowed in the clubhouse??

Pineapps are one of the items I just refuse to discard. So now I'm overloaded with 450+ of the things and throwing them at every trash mon I can find.
It's an inventory management nightmare! Most potions, regular revives, and a bulk of berries and bananas have been sacrificed.

Is anyone else not getting progress towards friend progression? My roommate, who I added the day this came out, still says "If you keep playing together for 5 more days, you can become great friends!" We've exchanged gifts every day, taken down a few gyms together, traded, and done lots of game-friend stuff, but it's been stuck at five days. My other two friends on here who I added the day after are both stuck at 6 days each as well.
