It's my poison of choice, tho.
....isnt Pokemon GO the casualest of casual pokemon games?


This was you, wasn't it?

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

These guys need to chill out, but they can't because poison is strong against grass.
I never cared about Gyms and I'm not even sure what he's talking about. Even before the update I've never had a pokemon last more than 12 hours in a Gym anyways and it seems like I could go take over a Gym with ease even before the update. Although I'm in the ruralist of rural areas. Cape Breton island.

For me, the update made this game playable instead of an uphill grind fest. I have 1 pokestop nearby, and the next one is a 5 min drive, and beyond that it's at least 15 mins drive in any direction. The fact that I can go to my local stop and catch a ton of pokemon and get a shit ton of items increased what I can do by at least x3.

I think that guys problem, well one of his problems, is that he spent money on this game. What a sap. I got Google Rewards, did dumb surveys, built up 6$ and used that to buy items in the game. All profit.

I didn't even know you could spend money in Pokemon Go.

But yeah, gyms are literally the only thing you can do with pokemon; they're the only reason to catch them. If you can't take over gyms you can't play the game. Making it so only 1% of players are capable of participating in gyms was always nuts. Fixing it won't salvage the game though - there needs to be single-player content you can do with your pokemon when you're not wandering around.
The thing about Gyms is that they totally suck. It can hardly be called fighting, it's so braindead. For me the best thing about this game is collecting the pokemon, evolving them and leveling them up. For what? Well trainer battles I believe are supposed to be coming. Plus when they release new pokemon there will be something to do. Either way the fighting is such garbage that I can't see why anybody would play the game for that. Might as well play the new genre of game called 'clicker games'. *shudder*

This game is basically an addon for when to go out on my bike or go for a drive. The game says I've walked 215kms, but most of that is in my car haha I just want to catch them all. I've got about 100 right now so I play in hopes that I see something new. When I'm in a new city I'll open the game and wander around. I've discovered new areas of places I've lived by for over 30 years.

Unless the battle system is completely overhauled I don't see the point of Gyms at all. It's meant to be a casual game. People who pay money, spend a lot of time going out to play(instead of playing when they were already going to go out), and take Gyms seriously are playing this game wrong, imo. And if that's what you want out of this game, it will always suck and be infuriating.

This isn't a Pokemon game. It's Ingress with pokepaint. They literally copy/pasted the data from Ingress to make this game.

Last night as I was passing by a gym I took it over and put my Magikarp up. It's still there.

OK, that's pretty satisfying.
between Pokemon GO and VarageSale I've discovered more of my city in the past 6 months than I ever did in the past 16 years

Hot damn, it's still there and it's almost the 24 hour mark. This would be the first time ever that I've been able to keep a Gym for that long and reap the precious real money currency rewards. I'm tempted to drive out there again tonight to check on the Gym and revel in the glory. For the record I'm team Instinct xD and if you don't know why that matters, then you don't play pokemon go.

My city town village got the shaft, but I discovered much of the nearby cities! I wish I was still in Ottawa when this came out. But I wonder what this Varagesale is...
