What, no Pokemon Go thread?

It'll also depend on what "recently" is. I mean, there's about 20 gyms in my home town. I've probably done raids at half of them in the past two weeks...But unless you're willing to invest a lot of time and effort (and money for the raid passes), keeping more than 4 or 5 at a time in the "last week" group is impossible.
This might reduce the number of eligible players for a give raid to a very low number...Not to mention, organizing them together will be a challenge.
I suppose if they give enough notice and big enough raid windows, so that people have a week or more before the Exclusive to go and get a raid on Gym X in, then can coordinate over a whole day, it might be possible, but otherwise, I don't see how it'd work.

Yeah I'm a bit worried too. There are easily 25-30 gyms in the little section of the city I'm in. Odds of raiding more than 4 or 5 of them in a one- or two-week period are basically zero. Hope to get lucky, I guess?
Like I said, if the invite is sent early enough, you can coordinate...As in, I get a message saying there's going to be an exclusive raid at Gym X next week, I let you know, you come over and do a raid in Gym X the next day, and then we can both do the raid next week.
We'll see if that works.
In the category "entitled snwoflakes" "spoiled brats" "people who don't understand economics" "players trying to revitalize the game": Petition to make raids cheaper or free
Yeah, good luck with that one.
Yeah, good luck with that one.
Has a change.org petition ever led to actual change?
So, when will these special Mewtwo invites come out? I've completed 3 raids over the last few days. Crisply little level 1 raids, but the best I can do solo.
New update on Legendaries and the like.
Starting August 31, the Legendary Pokémon Raikou, Entei, and Suicune will begin appearing in Pokémon GO.
From August 31 to September 30, you can find these Legendary Pokémon in the following areas of the world:
Exclusive (EX) raid battles are more-or-less going beta starting September 6 for select trainers in select locations etc etc. So Mewtwo has been slightly postponed, I guess this means.

It's weird how my experience really is the opposite. Both the whatsapp group and the facebook group around here are alive, with literally hundreds of members, and people really organize. I mean, I just did three Entei raids back to back, with 15 people at each, and there were two other groups of around 15ish people doing the same three in a different order, and another group coming later for those who couldn't make it on time.
I had gotten bored with the game, andraids have really revitalized it for me. I was just checking in daily and not even that anymore every week - and now I've leveled from 27 to 31 in a few weeks' time, having a godo time, being social with people I'd never meet otherwise.
That said, in more rural or less active regions, I'm sure it's an absolute pain.

This is truth. Largest group that I have heard of being organized here (while I was working of course) was 7 people. So, ya know, Legendaries are right out the window.
To be fair, I've done Entei, Moltres, and Zapdos with fewer than 7, and not extremely high levels at that. Entei can be done with 4 people in the early thirties if you have the right Pokémon (but who doesn't have a bunch of Vaporeons lying around?)
So there's a new contest out, and given that it's a combination Pokémon / photography contest, it might just be something someone we know might be interested in.
