If you start to do the Mythical Quest - where you can catch Mew - one of the steps is to evolve a Magikarp into a Gyardos. It takes 400 candies in game. I thought I saw Magikarp as a 'shadow' on your nearby, so I wanted to tell you what I wish I knew when I evolved a Magikarp right before I got to that quest step... PS I added you SAS Broski

MY PALE GOTH SKIN posted:Oh man, that is ridiculous. I got "pulled over" in 2017 for being parked in a church lot late a night, but I'm a small white woman and had PoGo up on my phone, so the cop was chill. Reminded me churches are private property, which I did kind of forget. That's still pretty BS. I'm assuming you didn't break down any gates to get into their lot, and they don't have anything posted about no parking certain times.

If the church/shop/whatever doesn't like pokemoning, offer to help them get the stop/gym removed. Just be chill about it. Trespassing laws vary by state so "no sign, it's not trespassing hurp" isn't sound legal advice. Like at all.

I added back everyone that added me today, thanks! I tried to send gifts to everyone, hopefully I can keep doing so but my inventory is over full right now from level up rewards so it will be harder to get enough to keep sending them (and receiving them ) I assume that my coins should just go to inventory expansion for a while?

Starter pokemon community days suck though, because none of the starters are very good and all of them are unreasonably hard to catch, so for community days I think they change the spawn rates to spawn ones with worse stats/levels than normal so that all the pokemon you see don't have a deep red ring when you try to catch them.

No they just increase the base catch rate. Also catch rate is a function of level, not IVs. The higher the level, the harder it is to catch.

IcePhoenix posted:I assume that my coins should just go to inventory expansion for a while? Inventory and pokemon storage expansions are great investments, since they are permanent upgrades. Everything else you can buy from the store is consumable. At around 800-900 bag space I started to have enough to never run out of revives, potions and pokeballs, even during community days.

Today must have been unofficial Registeel raid day because 8 or so of the 12 gyms in town had a raid going. I just went through and collected stops to replenish stuff and finished up my Snubbull (sp?) research task then went home. Caught my last Chikorita (fuckin fantastic community day gently caress) to get a Meganium or whatever it's called. My wife gets mad because I only played the first gen of Pokemon and I can't remember their names and just call them whatever they look like for the most part. I now know what a Sunkern is but I've been calling them Pineapple Folks for awhile. Oh and Cactus Things. I can't remember their name but I evolved one.

I made the mistake of forgetting that you can have a max of 10 gifts at a time, but thankfully my wife reminded me when I started complaining about not getting gifts. Still got a bunch of gifts from Mt Rushmore (visited 2 days), and most are sent out. More random North Dakota gifts for the next few days, but it’s nice sending out gifts from a known landmark. More fun than postcards.

What hours constitute "day"? Maybe I should just wait until noon to be sure. Also, Niantic should have had this next community day be all 3 starters because they're all kind of meh.

It's weird when people try to min-max other people's pokemon when there are 20 people in the raid. At that point you would win even if 3/4 of the people participating would use nothing but magikarps.

At least in my town, more often than not, I get the flipside scenario where even if we have more than enough people to overwhelm the raid boss, less experienced players will ask what's best to use on the boss anyway and I think it's a nice way for them to learn type matchup. Especially since some of them don't have high power coverage of every type and when mixed with changing weather, the game will recommend them teams that confuses what they think should have been the best type matchup. Or if the only high power Pokemon they have are legendary captures, the game will probably only recommend them because the rest of their collection is crap regardless of typing. Like the game right now really likes to recommend Tyranitar for people if Registeel has Hyper Beam just because of the normal type move vs rock defense advantage, but Tyranitar's rock or dark type attacks don't do that well to steel type. And I suppose this is the only instance a Fire Blast-having Tyranitar actually works, but you'd never recommend someone to use TMs to set up Tyranitar for this specific scenario, nor do most people ever do.

It actually was posted private property, in a very calm, gentrified area, at like 3 AM, and I think the cop was making sure I wasn't considering stealing the construction stuff in the corner of the lot. Tbh he was pretty nice, "oh Pokemon? Yeah, yeah, ok. Just remember some of those spots are on private property." Overall we don't get hassled. I would think the giant team stickers and poo poo would make it easy to know who is playing PoGo and who is casing the joint. Mustached Demon posted:If the church/shop/whatever doesn't like pokemoning, offer to help them get the stop/gym removed. Just be chill about it. Yeah there's a huge boy's school/orphanage/historical site that doesn't want us there, we've helped the request removal even though they have five drat gyms and at least 10 stops in a small area. Because it's a campus full of children. On the other hand, the outdoor shopping mall that loved us having lure parties for a long time until a new mallninja guard got a hate boner for us can suck a dick. We just stealth play now. People go there to walk around. Who cares if they're on their phone while shopping? Maker Of Shoes posted:this is incredible funny during 5 star and ex raids with all the super serious players around. if you can survive the wave of well actually's it makes standing around in a park like a weirdo entertaining. Oh god yes. My kiddo can't remember the names of a lot of the less meta mons. For example Sunkern is "Angry Corn," Wailmer is "Whaley" and Wailord is "big Whaley," Aron is "skull puppy," etc etc. Diglett was "a poop" for a while, but our neighborhood park was a nest and I got tired of him yelling that there was a poop. Confused other people. Anyway, lots of grown rear end adults either try to be helpful and correct him, or less-grown-rear end ones snidely correct him. I always tell him to call them what he wants. It's a game.

My wife makes up silly names for all of them, too. Except... there was one time when the game was still new and she told me she caught a Mew. I was like "What the gently caress??" and told her to show me immediately. It was just a Meowth. Of all nicknames to use... She also has a habit of going "oh wow, I think this is a new Pokemon!!" and every time I have to point out, no, you've caught like 100 of them before and there's a Poke Ball icon on the catch screen if-- actually, you know what, I think she's just loving with me at this point.
