Pokemon: GO

[caledfwitch]

one of my friends went farming downtown and he has like 4 600+ cp pidgeots and 3 300+ cp raticates and like 150 other trash pokemons and im like WHO ARE YOU

pedit: i realize how many times ive said like in that sentence. i Do Not Give A Fuck

[implosion]

I honestly might just spend tomorrow in a series of go outside for an hour and a half -> come back and charge phone -> rinse&repeat.

[Sudo_Nym]

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

You mean Flareon, scrublord?

[xRECKONERx]

FLAME ME ON

[Jahudo]

I found about a dozen benches as pokestops wtihin a 1/4 mile but only pidgeys and ratattas around

[zoraster]

so i got back home and while there are a ton of poke stops within a 2 minute walk, the three gyms around me all have 15+ level people on them. I'm level 6.

Embrace your inner Valley Girl.

In other news, I have caught some monsters but do not understand what amount of CP is considered acceptable.

I also missed out on a starter Pikachu, but I am hopeful of finding one eventually. There was one in my block, apparently, but cars (passenger) make things difficult.

[SleepyKrew]

I have begun. I imagine my pokemon going experience will change a lot when I'm back in Chicago.

[Sudo_Nym]

I've seriously considered switching to buses to up my game.

[SleepyKrew]

There were at least three wild pokemon inside my bedroom. This is convenient.

[Brandi]

wow caught dodrio and still haven't seen doduo :I It was a green ring too.

I think quadz and I are feeling the under leveled pain, too. Earlier today I took a gym, and within hours it was re-captured by three people 10+. I'm barely 8, and don't really have the luxury of bountiful time or surroundings, so it feels like I'm going to fall more behind as time goes on...

Edit: that said, my workplace is a Pokemon GO Gym, and there's a Pokestop right by it, so I hope I'll at least get a decent stream of supplies and Pokemon spawns on my meal breaks.

[zoraster]

there is a pokestop within range of my desk most of the time, so that's good I guess.

[SleepyKrew]

This game tricked me into going to church. On a Sunday!

[Nahdia]

the servers are up today for the first time in half a week.

there are no pokemon around me. my second lure got used somehow. I'm not allowed to experience prolonged exposure to direct sunlight for the next half a year or so.

Guess I'm uninstalling my pokemon journey has come to a close.

[SleepyKrew]

You could play at night?

[Nahdia]

that would involve driving into town in the middle of night...

which i mean... i could. but euugghhh I'd feel like such a weirdo wandering around the town center at the middle of the night staring at my phone.

[SleepyKrew]

omg the graveyard is full of pokestops and has two gyms

You might not be the only one wandering around staring at your phone in the middle of the night.

Someone else in site chat noticed that with a graveyard, too. What's up with that?

[hiplop]

ghost type/marowaks aplenty?

[SleepyKrew]

@Nahdia oh right I forgot that night doesn't start until like 9 <_<

[zoraster]

my understanding is that pokestops are ingress stops and ingress stops were based nominally on memorials and other sites. graveyards tend to have monuments and things.

[Psyche]

the pokemon don't really seem that different though

[Psyche]

...
watch out for team rocket, guys

[Equinox]

You can tell that someone(s) at that police department plays Pokémon Go.
