The fact they announced this and Lugia raids on the same day the 21st movie released featuring both Lugia and Eevee makes me think it's a sneaky tie in with that.

Yes! I've been trying to get some good quality Eevee's for name trick evolves. I wasted my Vaporeon and Jolteon ones early on subpar 'mons.

Niantic never conforms to a pattern long enough, I don't know why people even try to predict anymore.

my favorite was the prediction of every community day into 2019 based on, I think, two community days. Nice optimism, I suppose, but :lol:

July was the first month that community day was on the second instead of third weekend (because of Go Fest). Apparently they're sticking with the second weekend for August.

Naturally I'm available on the third weekend but will be traveling on the second weekend, so I get to miss both days.

Cool for shiny evolves but they should let naming work for all evolves that 3 hour window

maybe they'll wrap this into the first wave of gen 4 pokemon, with glaceon and leafeon becoming available that weekend.

also am i the only one that absolutely HATES the name leafeon? like, gently caress me it's so lazy and bad.

on an unrelated note, niantic should really start throwing regionals into 7km eggs you get from gifts, based entirely on where the gift came from. i'm kinda shocked that they did not just do this right off the bat, it makes plenty of sense.

An alert just popped up for me that there will be special Pokemon this weekend in Chicago.
Do we know what those are? I'm not exactly ready to go hobbling around out there with my crutches, but if it's something I want, maybe.

There's already a higher chance of success this year just based on the fact there will be multiple COWs deployed to handle the data traffic. No guarantees of actual success, of course. :v:

Got an Alolan Sandshrew and 2 Alolan Grimers from goon gifts today, which is pretty cool.

My curve ball is getting a bit better too. I can't figure out how fast to throw it to actually get it in the center, but at least they aren't missing 75% of the time now.

As a new pokemon go player I'm somewhat shocked by the terribleness of having to walk around with my screen on all the time and being tracked by GPS distance rather than steps. The original post has pretty positive feedback about the pokemon go plus, but I've also heard that the go-tcha has its pluses (like a go plus with its button continually pressed). Any thoughts? Don't care about cost as long as it's sub $50.

Mostly concerned about tracking all my distance traveled for candies and egg hatching as well as swiping pokestops.

There's pretty much no reason to get a plus over a gotcha. The only advantage the plus has is that its an officially supported Niantic™ product

Paint shaker. Or more realistically, Pogo players become identified irl by the public as people constantly jacking off their phone while sitting down to hatch eggs.

Yeah I just got one too, I almost didn't see that it was shiny. Thanks to the many year of playing Pokemon, I could feel that the colors were off.

Check to make sure you've given pogo camera permissions. Even if you're not using the AR, if it doesn't have camera permissions the last couple updates have been locking up like that for encounters.

A lot of people here are having issues with the app freezing randomly, requiring a restart of pogo. It hosed our raid yesterday too.
