What's the point of a new thread?

And also, I'm confused about this part in the op: 'Pokémon in a gym are organized by the order in which they were placed by their owner. Go ahead, put a Pidgey in slot #6 behind a Blissey, Dragonite, Tyranittar, Gyrados, and Ampharos. You'll be glad you did!'

What does this mean? :downsgun:

Anyway, now if you drop trash in the 6th slot, somebody will have to knock out everything else in front, regardless of how lovely your drop is.

Yeah ok, but what's the point of dropping a trash pokemon in that spot? Does it earn more gold or something like that?

So for the weekly field research thingie. I completed it now, but I don't want to claim the reward now because it's a Suicuine or w/e.
I can just wait until it's something else and then claim the reward right?

Got a shiny beldrum but didn't catch enough to fully evolve it. Ah well, first shiny ever, that's something I guess

Caught probably around 250ish today at the mall that usually hosts Safari Zone in Europe. Absolutely nuts, and the best part is that because it’s Sunday the stores aren’t allowed to open. It was just thousands of people walking around a closed mall. Like Wheany I also stopped gotchaing after a while because of their run rate.
How big is this mall? drat

I just bought a Gotcha and wow, it looks like a piece of crap. Literally take it out of the packaging and the front plastic cover falls off.
I also read the instructions, and it said something about needing to reconnect your phone every 5-7 minutes when idle. That can't be right, can it? Kinda defeats the whole point of the device.

You most likely got a fake one. Where did you buy it from?

Just picked it up in a toystore here. They also had a gotcha ranger or something. It looks legit though, it's just that the front plate thingie fell off. I'll see if it actually works and I'll return it on monday.

I just put some transparent tape on it the gotcha to hold on the front plate. It seems to pair and work pretty good. It's auto catching Pokemon fine, haven't been able to test the auto collect Pokestop function though. I'll probably change the settings to only capture new Pokemon, otherwise it just burns through balls.

Welp, I'm hooked on this game again after not playing for ~6 months.
Gonna go for a walk this afternoon and I'm already excited about all the Pokestuff I can encounter.
Also redownloaded CalcyIV and spent a ton of time scanning and renaming all my Pokemons. That app sure gives you a lot of information, it's crazy.

Used the gotcha all day today after it being delivered yesterday. Random thoughts:
- God drat this thing owns
- God drat this thing just vacuumed all my pokeballs
- This thing loves to notify me twice that the pokestop I just drove by is out of range while also failing to spin the thing.
- There are a lot more stops along my work commute loop I was not even aware were there!
- Collecting stops (when going slow enough) is super awesome.
- The wristband that came with it is extremely small and there's no way I can fit this thing in the opening without breaking something.

I changed it to only try collecting unknowns but I think that's based on whatever log this keep track of instead of my account/dex progress because it was still trying to catch poo poo I already had. Or maybe I didn't reset/set the thing up properly.

Either way, this thing's pretty fun
Yeah, the best part of it is it just spinning and collecting every stop you pass.
The catching is also pretty cool, but like you said, burns through regular balls. And you end up with 800 koffings and ekans...
If you haven't already, download the gotcha app. It's way easier to adjust your settings in there, rather than deciphering all the icons on the tiny screen.
And I haven't even bothered using that wristband. I just plop it in my pocket and hop on my bike, collecting stuff on my way to work :getin:

Only annoying thing so far, apparently there's a bug that resets your journal when the gotcha tries to catch a pokemon but it flees. I like to see how many things it got for me, but oh well...

Is there a way to either:
- delete eggs or
- increase egg storage space?

I want to throw out some eggs to make room for the event ones that only take 2 km to hatch. But unless I'm blind I see no button do transfer/delete eggs.

Oh right, I've been meaning to ask this. Is there a better way than the tiny circles to see when you'll become good/best/ultramega friends?
I've popped some eggs thinking that opening a gift would bring me to the next level, but apparently it didn't.

Does it matter if you level up a pokemon first and then evolve it vs evolving it and then level it up?
Like, will the cp get higher if you do it a certain way?

reignofevil posted:

Yeah absolutely.

Set magikarp as your buddy. You'll want to get that done prior to the water event as you need roughly 380 candy to evolve the karp and then you'll be able to move forward with your special research.

I mean if you're really feeling it, just set it as your buddy right now.

I'm walking Eevees right now. Should probably be done with that by Friday :f5:

I have 2 questions:
How does adventure sync work? It works with Google Fit right? And do you need a fitness tracker or something for that? I have a fitbit, but AFAIK I can't link that with Google Fit.

EDIT: found this page that explains everything. Sadly fitbit can't be used for adventure sync.

Do lucky eggs work with story research? There's the kickstarter research where you get like 100k, I'd love to pop an egg before I complete that.

Not always inversions but yeah, it's basically the same reason as why the early gen pokemon cries (with a few notable exceptions) are still screechy monstrosities-- restrictions on sound output and low number of available color palattes from the Game Boy/Game Boy Advance days. And of course they feel like they can't change it ever because the nostalgia grognards would complain.

The pokemon make sound? :monocle:
