Spearows everywhere.  Also got an Evee.  Literally right there when I stopped at the bank.  Which is also a red coloured gym.  I'm assuming my local town is ruled by red team.

Most importantly, whory marmots.  It ate like 40% of my battery for a less then an hour trip.

nah, gym ownership is really more an indication of what team had 2-3 people there last. (or even just 1 player, if the gym isn't high level, or someone brought a lot of supplies and was willing to sit for a while.)

My bigger problem in downtown chicago is that gyms are barely usable because there's so much lag from the constant attacks.

Polish Pokemons feel a sense of dread and foreboding...Gotta Blitzkrieg 'Em Alles!


I have to say this has been the weirdest few days. I'll catch something and then show it to my daughter like "Is this any good? Should I be happy or is this just more trash? Is this bird-thing better than that bird-thing?"

She's underwhelmed with the slew of Pidgeys I've gotten (I notice they tend to inhabit parking lots), but hey -- that means I've been able to swap a bunch in and evolve my strongest one into a Pidgeotto.

I am still amazed at how thick downtown Hillsborough is with Pokestops. Like, twenty or more in less than a square mile. I can't help but think the town's tourism department should really think about leveraging that. We're already a hipster town for the locovore restaurants and microbreweries and writer's hangouts. Now we just need really obscure Pokemon.

The key seems to be catching absolutely everything you can find, even if it's trash, and evolving it for the xp.  As you gain levels, you are more likely to find a wider variety of pokemon, and the cp of everything you find (even the trash) rises.

Friend who's into this way more than I am clue'd me in that the real trick is to collect a ton of stuff that evolves really cheap, crack a lucky egg, and then trigger all those evolutions at once for double xp.

Ok honestly... THAT would be something amazing I could get behind!

Let every part of the world have their own unique pokemon (probably country >_>) whether it be an ordinary pokemon or a legendary.

Then later introduce them to a regular pokemon game (but don't make them that generation... call them the "Lost generation" or something)

You have restaurants where you can eat trains?

Don't have it yet, but I must ask; is there any strong necessity to have regular pokespot access? I live out in the middle of nowhere, and it would suck if I needed to get to a pokespot on a regular basis.

Depends if you want to pony up money or not.

How so?

To catch pokemon you need pokeballs

To get pokeballs you need to go to pokestops

If you can't go to a pokestop you need to pay real life money to buy them.

[Tawa]

Ah crud, really? That sucks. It's not like I plan on sitting on my butt the entire time, I just don't live within walking distance of anything meaningful. :\

Guess I'll just tag along when people head out on a drive for something. There's probably at least a couple pokestops in the minuscule hamlets nearby. :v

It can also help slightly if you sign up for Google's Opinion Reward Surveys app.  You'll get a survey notification on your phone usually something like once every couple days.  You'll rarely get anything that takes more than 5 seconds.  Iit's stuff like "how many times a week do you eat out" or "which of these stores have you visited in the last month" with some multiple-choice options.  Each survey will typically get you between 20 and 40 cents, which goes directly into your Google account.

I used my Google account to sign up for the game, and had $14 saved up on it from surveys, which I almost never spend.  So I went ahead and dropped $10 on it and got both storage upgrades, plus 200 pokeballs.  You can buy 20 pokeballs for $1.  It's not going to keep you fully stocked on supplies if you play often without access to pokestops, but it's something.

Holy crap, that's cool. How come I don't get free money for those YouTube survey-style ads?
