And I would walk thirty six more

Walked into my therapist's office this morning, and she asked me how I'm doing.

"Pretty great, actually," I said. "I got here early for once, so I booted up Pokemon Go, and there was a friggin' Lunatone behind your office!"

Hey what the heck weren't Ultra Boxes 15 Super Incubators and some other crap for 1480 coins just the other day? Or 12 Incubators? Now I look and it's 10 Super Incubators, and some other crap, for the same price. I don't care if it's still a deal, I'm pissed and the game just missed its chance to take $10 of my Google credit.

It has 2 fewer incubators and raid passes, but it added 14 star pieces!

10 incubators is still enough to get a full batch going at once so I don't mind. I'd much rather have the star pieces in there than incense, especially with Moltres day and the stardust event coming up.

I really hope that Niantic is going to implement some way of disabling the new notifications. They are just large enough and placed perfectly over all the buttons on the top screen and love to also block the cp ui when catching a pokemon.

Please this. They cover most of the Pokemon Go+ connection icon, and half the time I'm reflex-mashing at it when the screen loads, only to bring up someone's gift notification instead.

Does the log in verify you on your end first or just their end?

You can’t play it there anyway. Nothing exists on the world map, it reports “no GPS” errors, egg distance doesn’t increase and you can’t catch anything.

I found a pretty good usable bug, might be well known, didn't really search it out.

You can skip the gift sending animation completely:

Pick the gift, hit send, immediately hit the X button underneath the send button. You will probably be brought back to the gift selection screen, just hit x again to back out all the way to the friend screen. Sometimes it just goes immediately back to the friend with a success message.

You get the gift sent message once you back out. Works reliably, similar to the catch animation cancel.

When you open a gift mash where the x was under it as the animation starts to skip the whole process

I just thought it would be cool to catch some pokes in China then come back and trade them to the local group. It'd pump up my distance badge in a cool way.

You can start a little bit early, since you must get 2 candy from the eevee, but you can pre-walk to 4.99km. So not a huge win, since you have to collect 4 candies total
