Did I do something wrong, or is the incubator you get from spinning pokestops from today 'till christmas only one use?

I've been very casual with the game, but i'm pretty sure incubators were 3-use, so this is essentially a single incubator chopped up. How nice of them.

First move exclusive Pokemon is a Pikachu with Surf

This is a good idea, but two issues:
1) gently caress having even more variant pikachus i can't throw to the candy factory
2) 3 hours one day a month????????

I think i'm 1 for 2 on Groudon and 2 for 3 on Kyogre. I'm really casual about it, which kinda sucks because my girlfriend's really into Go and she did not get either of those legendaries so far.

Caught a good, big bunch of Dratinis. Got two shinies and my girlfriend 3, plus a couple over 90% regular dratinis. It was a fun event, specially since our best area to farm pokestops is a 5-block-one-way street, so it was swarming with people going back and forth on the pokestop clusters.

Oh! And we both got our first Rayquaza. Was really nice because it was with two other couples, of which one was two old chinese people who were level 40.

So, Bulbasaur is the next community event, on the 25th. Boring, yeah, but hey, TRIPLE XP.
https://pokemongo.nianticlabs.com/events/community-day/

..for captures only. Eh, my gf loves Bulbasaur and I want to get a venasaur at long last, so it'll be neat. With an egg that's 600 xp at minimum per catch, so it should be neat.

Curious about what June will bring to Pokemon Go. With this next community event, and what legends we have left, it seems like March to May will be kanto starters for community and the reggies for raid battles. That'll only leave Lati@s. They could do June-July, but I'm kinda hoping they do both at once and July sees the start of Gen 4?
Community Day I could see Ditto. It couldn't happen, but it'd be fun as heck if they went ham and every ditto came out as a legendary on the map. Otherwise, maybe Larvitar?

But i'm probably putting too much faith on Go and we'll get Gen 4 starting at Christmas this year.

Couple of weeks ago, my gf and I were out for whatever reason and decided to hit a Charmander raid at a tiny park thing. Cue Ex-Raid pass for Today. It went surprisingly smooth, we had a full 20 people in the second group that went in, caught an alright Mewtwo, we went around downtown walking and eating frozen yogurt until she got the ten raids (including me paying 11 cents to get an extra premium raid to get Latios). Then some nice walking around (snow finally fully cleared out and the day was sunny and warm even) she got Mew.

Just a very nice Pokemon Go day.

I used to have a plan where my speed was limited to 64 kbps when I went over a certain limit, and that was just on the borderline of being playable. It was very difficult to login, but if I logged in via wifi and then continued playing on the speed-limited data connection it more or less worked most of the time, albeit slowly, and I couldn't log back in if I crashed out somehow (which happened a lot). But indeed, once I was logged in it didn't play all that differently. This was when the game was new though, and the game uses about 2x more data now than it did back then.

This is my current experience as well.

Spent the day walking around downtown. Got a few shinies and sunglasses shinies, but most importantly I got about 280K of experience and a good amount of Bagon and Beldum candies. And a Regice.

I'm mixed on the event; all the extra EXP for captures and extended Lucky Eggs from the other event, and the reduced hatching distance, were excellent, but the squirtle aviators were pretty lame and them being the only reward was bad. Now I gotta chip away at several dozen squirtles that can't be sent en masse to the candy factory.

Most people would consider having every single Pokemon spawn in the game replaced with a glitch Pokemon that doesn't exist and isn't catchable to not be a very playable version of Pokemon game, yes.

The pokemon turns into ditto upon capture, a pokemon who is very rare to spawn and tricky to spot due to its transforming mechanic, which means that during that half hour you could do every part of gameplay and have guaranteed captures of a rare pokemon. Sounds like a very good time to be playing the game.

I gotta assume it'll coincide with Mewtwo's end as the current raid boss. Start up with spoopy Girantina. Maybe ghost type Gen 4 pokemon first, then later in November more of them? Though I'd really prefer if they just dump the whole gen at once and let me get my Chimchars.

God, I hope with all my heart that this grows enough that it becomes suspicious and cops raid it assuming it's a weed operation.


Depending on how exactly the metal box works, it might be fun to take a switch during a raid and just give everyone a box each.

I get the feeling they might wait until next week since Beldum Day is this weekend, but who knows?
