No difference. I do notice a difference when I'm slowly meandering when it's nearly 1:1 but if I'm walking at a brisk pace it's nowhere close, battery saver or not.

You're just now figuring out Karping? Anyway, if you want to also make it easier for people on your team to train it up, put something at least 20 CP so they can get a prestige bonus for using pokemon under half the defenders CP (aka "bubble strat").
Hope you enjoyed the jargon.

Also you can't accidentally mass-trasnsfer a shiny, a message pops up. My friend got one last night.

Uh, I've missed up to 3 days in a row without it resetting before

I usually miss a day or 2 a week and have been doing this since they introduced the streaks and I've never had the days reset before getting to 7 days (other than this time)

Uh I think I've noticed something weird with eggs. I alternate between purging 2km and 5km eggs until I have 9/9 because idk why. It looks nice I guess?

I just got to 9/9 2km yesterday and hatched like 1 or 2 of them as far as I can recall.. but I have 4 5km eggs now... I think the game is removing "poor quality" eggs when I spin new eggs.

Maybe I'm crazy but I can't test for a few hours, so I'm hoping someone else can confirm/deny for me. Definitely just noticed this morning

Edit: this would be really good for 10kms if it's true

It will also show you exactly where it is on the map if you tap the three footprints under the circle, though it might be more fun for kids to look around. Sometimes stops like murals and temporary art installations aren't around in the real world anymore though.

Man, I just randomly caught a Miltank a week or so after Gen 2 started and didn't think anything of it. I didn't realize Miltank was a Thing until recently.

I guess that makes up for the fact that I am never, ever going to see a Porygon.

Wait was it an egg you already had incubated? The event is affecting already owned eggs?

Probably best to focus on 5k and 10k eggs since it locks in the egg contents when you get them yeah? Stock up on as many 10k-esque 2k eggs as possible?

The most disheartening thing about gym battling for me is knowing that tons of people are cheating with GPS spoofing. I understand and honor if people tag team and kill a full gym I've helped build if they actually got their friends together and walked/drove out there to play. But when I'm standing there and there's no one else within the gym's distance and it's rising up in prestige and there's 2 or 3 enemies instantly getting into gyms, what's the point? Call me simple but I don't mind if there's turf wars going on and gyms are getting rocked back and forth and I would enjoy trekking back out to a gym we really want to hold if I know enemies are legit taking them back. It feels fun even if it's a stupid augmented reality location we're fighting over. But knowing that they can never truly block GPS spoofers really takes a lot of gas from this.

Even scanning for Pokemon I don't care about if other people do it as long as you're not literally collecting from home. You get the info there's a Pokemon you want and rush out thereto get it? Great. It's geocaching and you're playing the game. I don't do it because it wasn't really meant to be played with a scanner, but at least people aren't god mode-ing it if they still have to go out and do the playing part.

Similarly like my situation except I'm Instinct and we're hoping that the Mystic in our town is getting the hint that we're leaving their gyms alone to encourage tearing down the viral outbreak of spoofing Valor people in my town. The Mystic often just get lazy and instead of joining the fight, they come take our Instinct gyms instead and let Valor go unchecked.

I am still being able to hold like 4-5 gyms with my team through group text communication though. At least sometimes it makes me wonder about spoofer activity, like why don't they just literally tear through every gym in the area. Are they afraid it'll be too suspicious and they'll get reported? Because currently it just seems like they want to keep the main nucleus of gyms in the center of town but do it through nefarious means even if they can easily take over more.

I still have not seen a Hoppip. Enough Cyndaquils/Quilavas/Mareeps/Larvitar though, so i guess I can't complain too much.


Just not looking forward to walking it when I finally get one.

Willsun posted:

Older people really like Pokemon Go even if they never played any of the main games before. They usually mean well and are just overly excited to be in a game that includes co-op with a lot of people for the first time. Some of them do need to chill tf out though because they're not good at walking the line between knowing it's just a game and "you're kinda scaring people."

Your story did remind me though that recently I thought someone sitting down nearby with a phone out helped me take down a gym and I asked and they just looked confused and I apologized.

I'd seriously like to hear how someone with a no scanner policy got their Dex past, say, 200 entries without also getting word of mouth on best spots to go to (word of mouth likely derived from scanners)
