What, no Pokemon Go thread?

I spent a half hour this morning taking over and then losing a local gym repeatedly. Holy crap do I love gym battles now that I know how they run. I have to train my daughter, so she can back me up as soon as I take the gym over.
 
I may just not quit get some part of it, but raising your own side's Prestige is just freakin' slow and hard as I do it....Attacking a competing team is far easier/faster...
 
I can't go for this event, but DAMN I guess I need to go to the zoo sometime.

:eek:
Dammit, lady, that is like posting pictures of water while I'm stuck in the desert! ;)

One of our favorite restaurants is having a "Dinner with Pikachu" event with Pokemon-related stuff and lures all night. I can't wait.

Don't worry, next week I will be in middle of nowhere Texas, visiting my husband's grandparents in an old person trailer park, so I'm sure I will also be suffering.
 
Eh, bitching about my lack of Pokemon is distracting from wanting to strangle my dad. I love him, but his inability to be a responsible adult EVER is going to be the end of me one of these days.

The "middle" of nowhere is in the panhandle. I think the term for where you are going is the "ass end" of nowhere.

I am in a hell that even Pokemon fear to tread.
That's me every time I've tried to play Pokemon Go. I just don't play anymore.[DOUBLEPOST=1469140302,1469140234][/DOUBLEPOST]
And I'm still convinced that if the app sees few to no pokemon nearby it creates some just for those users in areas where the main website isn't generating any.
Yes, these are called Pity Pidgeys

It might, but you might need to be walking for the odds of that happening to noticeably increase. I suspect there is a constant "incense" that players always have but ratcheted way down. Walking may up it and then adding the actual incense may up it even more. Being near a lured pokestop may do so too.

There may be something to that. You definitely need to move in this game. I can sit for an hour playing on the computer with my phone in the cradle, no pokemon appear. As soon as I get up and take the phone with me into the bathroom 15 feet away, I always get pidgeys and rattatas show up.

And it's pretty clear that largely populated areas with a high number of players tends to be densely populated with a large variety of pokemon.
 
Dammit, servers are stable as hell, my character is 1300 xp away from 21, I have .2 before I hatch 2 5k eggs, and it looks like stormageddon outside.
 
I'm sitting here in the library, two pokestops and a gym available without moving. Don't have any lures, though, so I'm not catching anything, but I get 100 xp every 5 minutes from the pokestops, and if I had time I'd figure out how to use the gym effectively.

Just another 5 minutes away from level 8.
 
Level 8 apparently comes with a lure, but I'll save it for later. Luckily someone else dropped a lure on one of the two pokestops, so I'll be going a bit faster while it's active. Only 7,760 xp to go until level 9, certainly won't make it tonight, but I'll get my fill of rattatas and pidgies.
 
Leveling is hellishly slow now. Lvl 21 and I still have 20k until lvl 22. Looks like I'm going to have to enjoy just finding stuff I don't already have from this point on.
 
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.
