The "daily bonus" in Pokemon GO is actually really easy, since it's based on catching a pokemon instead of visiting a center.  Which I think for most people can be done naked at home.  In Ingress you had to go out and find a portal, which I think makes more sense. 

Though I might actually *do* this, which at least gets me looking at the game (and eventually needing pokeballs).

[Furtuka]

There's a secondary center bonus in the form of exp and extra items. Spawn and droprates boosted until like a day or two from now I think so its effects aren't as visible.

So... uhh why was this thread locked?

Ohh right because team Instinct.

Yeah, if you're a small-town player like me the current Go event is something like a miracle. Pokéstops are giving out double items this week, and the first one you spin each day is doubled again due to the daily bonus. That's 12+ items for the first one and 6+ for each one after that. I'm pretty lucky in that I have a park with two Pokéstops only 15 minutes away from me, but even though I visit it nearly every day this is the first time I've actually filled my bag (and cleared 100 Pokéballs!) since before I hit level 20 a couple months ago. I'm hoping to finally get my 200th coin from the local gym today and upgrade my bag before the event ends so I can fill that too.

They also just had a Halloween event which was pretty excellent. Double candy for everything and Buddy walking distance required per candy quartered. I was able to walk the last 60 candies or so on my one-and-only Charmander and finally evolve it to Charizard (with nearly 250 km buddy distance on him)! There were ghosts and cubones everywhere too.

I also finally gained a Pokémon spawn point that I can reach from my house, which would be awesome for the winter, except that I'm pretty sure it'll be gone tomorrow when the event ends. But we also seem to have gained some kind of Magnemite nest in a park uptown which I'm hoping might actually stick around. I'd never seen a wild Magnemite before, but I've caught 9 there in the past few days, the first one being the night before the event started, so... fingers crossed.

I missed most of the Halloween stuff due to a family visit D:  But the one night I did play was pretty great.  I wish I could have gone distance hiking with Tavros for quadruple candy ;_;

But I'm loving these new additions and this bonus week.  Which ends...  OH NO HAHA today!
Welp guess I'm going downtown for a bit!  These spawn rates are *absurd*!  Actually I need to make some space for pokemon before I head out.  I just hit 20 (I wasn't playing much for RL reasons) so I have two lucky eggs, and a bunch of evolutions ready hehe...  I could probably use both eggs maximally, since even out here the pokemon are nigh-constant.  I'm sure downtown is even crazier.

Awesome, thanks for this heads-up!  I headed out last night and caught it in time.  And ended up walking farther than I originally planned... just as planned (:

I accidentally pressed the button while I was scrolling on my phone and didn't notice for a while.

At last, I can finally say...I beat a Pokemon game

Beat the Elite 4. My first time ever, in any Pokemon!
Cleared the Delta Episode.
Beat the Elite 4: Rematch Mode.
Now I just need to capture Deoxys and I think I can end Omega Ruby on a satisfied note.

This week's Generations is out, being about Buck and Heatran.

[Greiger]

Despite having played every pokemon except the origonal red, blue, silver and gold, there are a lot of characters in these who I don't remember.

I have no idea who buck is.  I have no idea who the old team galactic admin is.  I don't know the majority of team magma except that crazy girl who I heard about from a friend. And I was unaware Giovanni had a son.

And speaking of that, when we gunna get some pokemon XD plot recreations up in here?  I remember that bad guy having what is probably the strongest pokemon any of the other team leader.   Not only did he have a team mostly made up of legendaries they were legendaries with shadow type.

Don't blame yourself... Most characters aren't very memorable and frankly the anime has done more to give these characters presence then any of the games.

Giovanni's son Silver was the rival in GSC. Buck was the little brother of the Elite Four member Flint, a family with bushy red hair and predilection for Fire types. Buck was also one of the "partner trainers", along with Marley, Cheryl, Riley and Mira, who joined up with you for a period in an area to do Multi Battles. Later, they all move to the Battle Tower and act as your partners in offline Multi Battles. Each specialises in a stat; in Buck's case, his mons specialise in Defense and Special Defense. Buck also hands you the Heat Stone (can't remember if this is right) that lets you encounter Heatran.

The old team galactic admin is Charon, from Pokemon Platinum. He had hardly any screen time in the game.

I wonder how long it will be until we get a Pokémon World game...

Though as always I will fight to the death for a Pokémon game that takes place in Space/alienworlds.

I don't understand why you'd want that or how that'd be different from what we already have... but...

This most recent version did add a second batch of "alien" Pokemon. So we could be headed in that direction.

[Sirus]

Hell, if you count Clefairy we've had alien pokemon since the very beginning.

[Sirus]

Mathemagicians, lend me your power!

What are the odds that a level 4 Wurmple, in Omega Ruby, reduced to exactly 1 HP via False Swipe, and hit with a standard Pokeball, will escape after just one shake?
I don't know if it matters or not but the Pokeball gave an odd shudder in midair before it fell to the ground.
