If you're training at your own team's gym, then no you can't team up. You can only take in a single pokemon and yes this is hard.

If you're attacking an enemy gym, then you can team up, you just need to enter battle at the same time as someone else (not sure whether you have to be on the same team as your accomplice for this to work, e.g. whether blue+yellow can join battle against a red gym).

The system is designed to make taking over a gym
much
easier than strengthening a gym. I'm pretty sure a couple of lvl 20 players could take down level 10 enemy gym, with bit of time and a few potions.

Not sure what you mean about it being 'a different feeling'?

If your argument is simply that going from level 20 to 21 is going to take longer without an egg, sure. And I can see some value in mitigating the frustration by the relative slowness of advancing in later levels.

But if your argument is that using an egg later on gets you further faster, that's probably wrong. Because you GET to level 20 faster. And sure you might slog a bit more in that time period between 20 and 21, but that doesn't mean overall you're going to end up with a lower level of total XP.

I think they can, some guy joined me in a gym battle once and I'm pretty sure he wasn't yellow. Not 100% sure tho.
are you thinking of me when you're with somebody else?

Whenever I see a member of Team Instinct, I assume they had a sudden seizure on the team selection screen.
One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.

I'm annoyed toda, i went down to take the gym and a dick drove up next to me and stole it from m after i defeated it.
Bloody car players. If he was walking then I'd be yeah whatever as I'd have been able to laugh about itl, but just pulling up, and popping a pokemon in and driving away. Gahh. I didn't really feel like battling again, espeically when the new pokemon was 600 CP higher than the one I'd just taken out. (which was also 100 CP higher than my highest)
I think I'm going to go back to waiting for someone else on my team to come take it so I can move it without having to go through effort.

Also Pidgey's need bigger shoulders, I somehow keep managing to throw the pokeballs over the top of them.

I tried one around the same level (Lapras at 1950) at a different gym, apparently I can't, as I ran out of time.

Also it looks like the nearby list is dead. "Sightings"

A new nearby tracker is slowly being rolled out

http://www.forbes.com/sites/davidthier/ ... e0a3951ef1

The sightings feature most/all of have right now is still useful though, scans for all pokemon within 700ft (200m) every ~10s, does not show duplicates or lured pkemon
Also, what is NM doing? Worst play I’ve ever seen.
I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.
I'm guessing you haven't read the game and probably never will? Why even sign up to play?

I think that new nearby will be just as useful as the sightings for me.

ye it was one dude in a van pretty much right next to us.

wed taken it to zero a few times and he dropped shit(literally instantly) a few times, but it was always shitty stuff so it was like lel free xp thx bro. Then after doing it a few times he apparently didnt like that so much, so we(me and my sis)had me taking it down and her ready to snag it, but when I beat his 350 golbat or w.e in 10 seconds the prestige went from 2k(and wouldve been 0) to like 7750 or some shit.

it was pretty funny all around cause like holding gyms dont give ya anything past the gold and stuff rofl.
