Pokemon: GO

[xRECKONERx]

I'm going hunting at lunch w/ some coworkers today. I'm almost level 5!

[xRECKONERx]

yellow bastards

the blue army will rise up

[xRECKONERx]

I'm hoping they eventually roll out trading and PvP.

[xRECKONERx]

I have a Flameon!!!!!!!!!!!

[xRECKONERx]

FLAME ME ON

[xRECKONERx]

I went to that form to do that and it didn't give an option to request a new location.

[xRECKONERx]

radja's the best yall back off

save the egg leveling strat for after lvl 20 because you stop finding lucky eggs in the wild and uh the XP jumps DRAMATICALLY in terms of how much you need per level

eh... you're still getting the same XP from the lucky egg either way. In fact you're probably likely to get more xp the earlier you use them as you're more likely to be able to get the double xp on new pokedex entries the lower level you are.

yes but leveling becomes much slower later whereas 1-20 is pretty steady and quick-ish so it makes more sense to save it for the slog when you stop getting lucky eggs and have caught all the pokemon so you're not getting that new pokemon bonus either

No, the opposite is better.

Last night I was barely 17, popped a lucky egg when I was about to hatch two eggs. 7 new pokedex entries from evolutions, and roughly 35 other evolutions later, I'm 20. Which means I have access to Ultra Balls (and likely higher CP Pokemon) now, rather than a few days from now. Popping the Lucky Egg after I hit 20 would have zero net benefit to my total XP, but I have the capacity to collect better items sooner. Getting from 20 to 21 gives me relatively little, but racing from 17 to 20 netted me much bigger benefits sooner.

Yeah but now it's going to take you much longer to level post-20 and you have less new Pokedex entries to find

new Pokedex entries are big XP boosts, which you lose over time as you find more Pokemon

[xRECKONERx]

lmao @ picking instinct

come on

[xRECKONERx]

Valour>Instinct>Mystic, imo

Red is the main character
Yellow saves Red's ass from the Elite 4
Blue is a dick

this literally has no bearing on pokemon go omfg

[xRECKONERx]

im like petrified of evolving things without a lucky egg but i dont have enough to maximize return on lucky egg so im stuck paying to expand my roster size over and over

kill me

[xRECKONERx]

im lvl 24 i think

also motherfucking fire/ice event next week!

[xRECKONERx]

suggestion: polyhaus/faghaus meetup in downtown durham next week after i start my new job
- lots of pokestops
- lots of pokemon
- introducing you guys to durham
- board game bar

[xRECKONERx]

i caught 80 charmanders last week bc one of the best parks in the area was a charmander nest

[xRECKONERx]

god, literally ALL the evo items ive gotten are up-grades except for one king's rock

[xRECKONERx]

that new update is fuckin niceeee

[xRECKONERx]

is the chicago event really that soon? jesus. that's not much turnaround time to buy the damn tickets

[xRECKONERx]

oh chicago event goes live = tickets on sale

i was very confuse

[xRECKONERx]

interesting. apparently all event attendees are gonna get a secret 2km egg.

im guessing it won't be a legendary, maybe like delibird?

[xRECKONERx]

the game has like 6.2mil daily active users

people saying it's dead

[xRECKONERx]

god that looked like a shitshow

[xRECKONERx]

I got Articuno today too! wewwww

now to find me a Lugia

[xRECKONERx]

got one high80s articuno
gonna try to nab a lugia today

[xRECKONERx]

they are! it's back to the good old days of community engagement. walking up to a raid and finding a big group there is just so cool

[xRECKONERx]

I assume Lugia is staying around.

I'm 1/4 on Articuno, 0/2 on Lugia. Blegh.
At least my Articuno had decent IV

[xRECKONERx]

i really wish they were extending the bonuses thru the weekend considering i work and dont have time during the day to take advantage of the bonus

[xRECKONERx]

I dunno. They launched the event on a Sunday evening and then had it run through to the next workweek but it feels like it disadvantages players who work 9-5 jobs

[xRECKONERx]

[xRECKONERx]

[xRECKONERx]

u gotta give us a friend code ya dingus

[xRECKONERx]

That sucks dude.
Brock and I managed to snag a Mewtwo from our raid on Thursday. Still in hunt for a Registeel

[xRECKONERx]

They drop from normal raids randomly but I think the gym has to be in a park near other gyms

[xRECKONERx]

The fuck?

Every gym had Zapdos for 3 hours yesterday where I was

[xRECKONERx]

WTF

[xRECKONERx]

I got a Zapdos at 4/6 of the raids I did, and one was a shiny, so I was mostly happy. My husband got all 6 raids and 2 shinies and one of those shinies was like 94% IV so I'm mad

[xRECKONERx]

We’ve got some division in our local community around what is and isn’t acceptable play. Curious what the opinions are here are on which of these are okay or not, and why? I know what my gut feelings are, but I find it hard to articulate the reasons.

1. Getting a player on a different team to knock a space in a gym of your own team so that you can add to it
- Shitty, but allowed.
2. Using a second account on a different team to knock a space in a gym of your own team so that you can add to it
- Technically not allowed.
3. Using golden berries to defend a gym you are holding, whilst someone is trying to take it down
- This is fine.
4. Getting players on your team to help defend a gym before an ex raid, even though they don’t have a pass to that raid
- This is fine.
5. Using a second account on your own team to help defend a gym before an ex raid
- Technically not allowed.
6. Getting a player on a different team to help you remove a specific player from a gym, without affecting the rest of the players occupying that gym
- Uhhh I mean seems fine? Part of strategy?
7. Using a second account to knock your own pokemon out of a gym so that you get coins
- Technically not allowed

[xRECKONERx]

lmfao wow a fucking valor scrub

[xRECKONERx]

The same gameplay reason you can't just tap on a Pokemon in the wild and catch it automatically.
Part of the thrill is the chase.

[xRECKONERx]

ye TSR is great for that

I was at the beach during Zapdos day and thought "man there's no way I will find people down here" but sure enough I found a group of about 20 via the local discord

[xRECKONERx]

Yeah, I mean, there's always more -- always hunting for that Pokemon with a better IV, hunting for shinies, hunting for the perfect gym lineup, etc.

I use the discord mostly to organize around community day or see if there are any groups doing raids near my office

[xRECKONERx]

Who is cityface on pogo

[xRECKONERx]

if ur MS username doesnt match ur IGN pls post it here bc i have no clue who half the ppl are on my friendslist
