I agree with your range, I think we might see some kind of introduction in December and it will be another Christmas event or something. All I know is whatever they put in a 10K i'm not going to stress about it because it will be dropped. They showed their hand on that last year, and i'm not falling for their game again.

i'm only holding rare candies right now for mewtwo. i do not intend to use a single rare candy on gen 3, unless it's for some top tier high cp pokemon like tyranitar was for gen 2. Again, my knowledge of pokemon stopped at gen 1 + togepi (the cartoons and pokemon blue/red) so everything else is pretty foreign to me.

Did anyone go to the event in Cali? curious on your thoughts from the event

wondering if ti was worth it since Philly is coming up in the end of October.

its about a 2 hour ride for me, so I think i'm going to go anyway. even if it sucks, At least I can go grab a cheeseteak haha

Ha, I think one guy on here went, cuz he posted the Kanghaskhan.

As for the Phily trip, while I didn't go to Chicago (wasn't going to pay the price, and I am not a social person. I would not have enjoyed it even if it went great)

I would say go for sure, without a doubt. Get your Unowns and that Farfetch'd. (just picking a guy)

As for the Game its self, I got reported over the weekend, no idea why or by who, but its left a pretty bitter taste in my mouth. I don't plan on doing any group raids until Mewtwo comes out now. Ill play to hit my dailys now, and evolve the 400 or so guys I have ready, but the lvl 40 push it going to be put on delay.

What happens with the reporting? Are you soft-banned then?

I don't think so, Just "On Watch" in case another report gets files against me and the wife. They reported both of us, even though she didn't play Sunday/Monday.

The best Ive seen is a Dratini, but I don't think Im soft banned.

[doobypenguin]

there have been some mass bannings.. just straight up bans and no soft bans to combat against spoofers. This doesn't apply to people reporting others so you'll be fine, but theyve seemed to have found a better way to locate spoofers now. I saw some screenshot posts of some chats of groups of spoofers that were saying that they were straight up banned. it sucks for them since they are losing all their perfects and probably a lot of wasted money too

Pretty easy to have a dex full of perfects when you spoof.

yeah, but i've worked hard on my pokedex and it has been pretty rewarding. I've never considered spoofing because i've put in so much work to get into where i am. Sure having regionals and perfects would be cool, but i completed gen 1 minus lapras... without ever going to a "nest" or using a "map". Then i completed gen 2 with some uses of a maps and nests. i'm a female togepi/togetic away from completing the gender dex. I've put in a lot of time that i didn't really have into this game...caught 5 unowns, 4 shiny karp, and have about 35 perfect pokemon (1/3 are karp/eevees/exeggcutes) it'd be nice to have a perfect super high CP pokemon, but besides my maxed out perfect Vaporeon which i got in August 2016 early on, i'm content with my multiple 96 and 98, gyarados, tyranitars, snorlaxes, and dragonites.

I hope i can stay interested in this game whenever gen 3 comes out. at some point i will be burnt out with this game. I know it is going to happen...since there's no end point to the game, it can be difficult to keep going. I'm imagining myself being at level 40 and just completely not giving any fox. that's over 7 million xp away from me so it's not even in my peripheral right now. i get married in october so i can see gen 3 not even being in my future. sorry for being a downer, but i'm down to 80-ish coins and 0 lucky eggs.. i'm debating whether or not to dump another $40 or even $100 on this game if i'm going to keep going strong...

I agree. The work you have to put in to get some of this stuff is the rewarding part. I don't see the point of sitting at home and spoofing to get a perfect IV Golem or any of the regionals. Where's the satisfaction in that?

Now, if I could just find that elusive Unown...

So yesterday my group and I reached the pinnacle of maximum efficiency efficiency again doing 4 Legendary raids in a half hour. Between hitting stops and catching a couple pokemon in between, I was able to get close to 85,000 XP in 30 mins.

Although I was really bummed when a 96% Moltres ran on me. Its the only legendary I do not have one over 90% on. I was pretty pissed.

thats a great group! i can sometimes find that kind of efficiency on the weekends. there are groups of lvl 40s that just go from raid to raid without much care for the casual players around. they'll include them if they want to raid, but they're certainly not going to be waiting around for people unles they know them personally. I did about 3 raids before work one morning in about 30 minutes, the raids were not particularly close.
Zapdos is the only one i don't have one above 90% on even though i have more zapdos than any other bird. ugh.

Tried doing a Lugia raid not long ago and just missed it the first time. I asked the person who used Blissey/Chansey in first attack group not to. Started second time, started with Wobboffet. Threw in the towel and left after that. Its frustrating when you explain to decent level players that they do little damage with certain pokemon and don't help but they continue to use them and just parasite legendary raids.

Also I am 12/16 on Zapos only have one above a 91 and its a 91.

[chrisfaceoff]

Kinda eventful weekend. Did a bunch of raids and finally hit a good Moltres(previous best was an 86%) I ended up catching a 98%!

So that took me to the following worthwhile legendary pokemon:

Lugia 96, 93, 93, 91
Articuno 100, 98, 98, 96, 93, 91, 91
Moltres 98
Zapdos 93, 93, 91

Closing in on reaching 39. need about 750,000XP Hopefully I can pound that out this week.

Cant wait for Mewtwo! Hopefully only a few more days!

Nice Weekend, I think you might hit 40 before me lol.

This is my Weekend Recap
Friday Gengar Raid, Exeggutor Raid both were my Dailys.
Saturday nothing, but spinning.
Sunday a Jolteon Raid.

Maybe got 13k exp this weekend lol


And Honestly, not being able to stock up on the Free Raid passes bothers me. I just don't have much interest in playing right now but I feel like I need to do a raid a day, or 2 every other so I don't miss out on the freebies.

Doubt it, now that football season here, this game(and life in general) takes a back seat.

[Divino]

Getting very bored again with this game, and increasingly frustrated.

Here's how the last few days have gone:

Spin a pokestop: *spinning pokeball* game crashes
try to tap a pokemon to catch: game crashes
try to battle a gym: game crashes
try to put a pokemon in a gym: network error, game crashes
try to feed berries to a pokemon: game freezes
try to do a raid: game freezes, then crashes
try to transfer my recent catches: game freezes
try to heal pokemon: game freezes
try to throw away potions: game crashes

[doobypenguin]

still 2.5 mil away from lvl 39. I've been so unmotivated to grind. i've gotten 500k xp in a week and half. Still did a few raids this weekend just to see if i could get a better legendary. well i didn't, just got a bunch of scrub legendaries. It's okay though, with legendaries leaving us some time on Thursday, i'll just try to get as many in as i can anyways.. still haven't gotten anything better than a 96% on legendaries.. i also haven't deleted any legendaries which is probably why my storage is getting so full... i'm aiming to do at least 3 or 4 more ttars. I'm at 37 ttars right now also because i haven't deleted any... but i have a feeling lvl 4 bosses might be rotated soon so i might as well. who knows when mewtwo will be released. The updates have been causing issues with people's phones lately that have never previously had problems like above, so i can see mewtwo being delayed.

[otmack2o]

I hit level 36 yesterday. I have at least a 91 IV legendary of everyone except for Zapdos so that is my aim for the next couple of days...

Congrats!

Im closing in on 39 myself. SHOULD have it before this weekend.

[Josh611]

So many people hitting 40 now. With legendary raids lvl 40 doesn’t mean a thing. People are getting there with under 20k catches.

I’m glad I got there before the legendary raids started lol. Makes me feel better

Oh dont be one of those bitter level 40 players haha.

I still do thee grind for a few hours each day after the raids end or in between where there is nothing going on.

Caught another 93% Zap last night. Still looking for one over 95% though.

lol Dude, your totally gonna hit 40 before me. Thought you said you weren't going as hard haha. I'm like 3 hours the last 7 days combined.

Seeing some of your Raid #s really makes me go, yea Ive lost some luster on this game.

If the Legendries still don't count towards your medal, these are my #s.
Legendary-41
Raids- 84

And I'm thinking the Medal does include Legendries.

So My Guesses upcoming-

New Raid Rotation in the Next Week, Stardust will be given out instead of EXP as a reward.

Mewtwo will be out mid Month, and a Bitch to go after, but will be changed within 10 days to become to easy.

And Rumor is Gen 3 Is like October 29th or something.

If they just added stardust I wouldn't even care about what the mons were lol.

We should see an announcement about Mewtwo tomorrow. I don't even think it will be hard to get at first to be honest. People don't like earning anything anymore lol.

As for Gen 3. I think the earliest we see that is December. I would love having it come out tomorrow I just don't think it will be anytime soon.

I'm over these legendary raids too. Did a Lugia today and tried to Pinap it everytime just because I really didn't care if I caught it or not lol. Just wanted the items.

[screamingdc]

Last ball on legendary throws have been fixed today, as well as the Go+ now being able to spin gyms, so some nice fixes added today. Also new update is rolling out finally. Gotta work all weekend so hoping that Mewtwo raids don't start until next week.
