What, no Pokemon Go thread?

Slowly getting up there...Though I see other people advancing much, much faster still. Oh well. Happy with that Nidoking, though. Now to find him a Queen.

I've got a Nidoqueen that's roughly the same level. Just sayin'. :unibrow:

Meanwhile, I'm debating whether to head one town over tonight. It's going to be crawling with people playing Go, there's a ton of stops in a small amount of space and people are dropping lures constantly. I made some great catches the other night. On the other hand, while there were a lot of friendly people, there were a few guys there who tried to use it as a pick-up opportunity and....yuck. Even if I wasn't married these guys are waaaaay too young. I am NOT a Pokecougar.
 
So, I showed my wife that screencap of downtown Frederick. So tonight, we changed our dinner plans, went down town, walked a few blocks and ate at one of the many restaurants on Merchant Street.

Came back 60 pokeballs richer.
 
Well, I dunno. Coming back from work at midnight, I saw a lure on a pokestop nearby... So I went there and caught some Pokemon. Nothing around but closed waste plants and a sewage facility... And two luxury cars standing on the side of the street, next to the canal, engines running but lights dimmed. You know, an audi and a bmw with blinded windows. And me. And then, when the lure wore off, all of us took off at once, in different directions. I honestly felt like I walked into a drug meet or something. A police cruiser suddenly materialized around the corner and followed one of them... I waved and drove on,, but still. Wouldn't be surprised if they took my plate, they very definitely followed one of the other two driving away.
 
Riding around on my bike, and I cut through a park. There's a bunch of people having a picnic, one of the kids sees me coming and yells out, "Pokemon Go?"

I say yeah, and after a beat I twist my body towards him and ask "Which team?"

And he says "Uh... the good one!"

So I raise my fist in solidarity, and move on :)
 
useful for taking over high powered gyms with lower powered pokemon.
This is from the original game, so it's not 100% accurate (pokemon go does 1.25% and .8% for strong and weak attacks respectively, and I don't think there are any immunities) but still useful.



So, for instance, if the gym has a high CP vaporeon (water type), you might have better luck taking it with an Exeggutor than your own vaporeon. If it's got a snorlax (Normal type), try attacking with Magneton, etc.
 
Starting off as a good day today, hatched on the morning Pug walk.

My mortal enemy! I absolutely HATE that fucking thing! When I was in college, my friends gave me a stress ball that looked like this little shit so I could bash the fuck out of it! Grrr! :mad:
 
Ok, I finally caught enough fucking pidgeys to get to level 5. With nothing around me, and no pokestops, and certainly no gyms, it took forever.

The whole team thing they introduce is stupid and silly, it's basically just asking you to pick an arbitrary color.

With that said, Team Valor is the best, Team Instinct is ok, but fuck Team Mystic.
 
Fuuuuucking shit. There are IVs in Pokemon Go. Now that I know that I have to start caring more about which Pokemon I trash. :'([DOUBLEPOST=1469321884,1469321502][/DOUBLEPOST]
So are you disagreeing that Poe is the true Hitler here, or are you also copping to being a Team Valor sympathizer? I can't decide.
