lol

Ah yes, stop being active and social, instead sit, drink a depressant while thinking about life.

Lol. That's extreme but reading AND seeing people walk through other people's property is a bit hard to take.
Someone walked up into my brothers patio while we were BBQing and he immediately went into angry Jamaican mode.

Anyone know if there's a connection between training your Pokemon a little (aka, feeding them candy and stardust) before evolving them and them evolving with XS/XL size? Every time I evolve a Pokemon, their evolution always ends up being XS in weight, so I was wondering if that's because I typically don't train them at all before evolving them

so how exactly do gyms work? I just started and I need to be level 5 apparently, but there's one in range of my house I can challenge whenever i'm ready

Your first task is basically going to be to collect as many Pokemon as you can, hatch as many eggs as you can and level up to at least mid teens. Most gyms are held by one or more Pokemon that are 1k+ CP, and personally I didn't start getting 1k+ evolutions until about level 15 or 16. Also try to look around to see what types of Pokemon are often holding gyms in your area and try to get Pokemon that can counter those through type advantage.

Once you have a good roster, you are going to take other teams' gyms by whittling down their Prestige points, which means beating the Pokemon that are holding the gym over and over until the gym finally goes neutral and you can then put a Pokemon of your choice in the gym to hold it. What you choose to put in the gym is going to depend on whether you are alone or whether you are teamed up with others. If you're alone you probably want to put your highest CP pokemon in the gym to make it harder for other teams to beat it (although knocking a single pokemon out of a gym is pretty easy no matter how you slice it). If you're with friends of your team, sometimes it's best to put in a slightly weaker Pokemon so they can more easily train against it to give the gym higher prestige level and open up more slots for their pokemon to sit in. It just depends on your situation. And by all means train against your own gyms whenever you see them, if the prestige isn't capped you can always bump it higher and possibly insert your own pokemon there.

Ate at a chicken finger place today that was within reach of a gym, so bf and I tried to take it. Unfortunately everyone else at the chicken place was trying to take the gym as well. I was complaining about the gps walking my character away a bit so I couldn't put a poke in the gym I had just liberated and the dude at the drink machine next to us went "motherfuck, did you guys just take my gym? shiiit" lol. Good times.

When doing battles? Is there any point in trying to dodge? should you just spam attacks?

I seem to get hit anyway, unless my timing is just bad

[Kirbyprime]

Servers are fairly shit still so dodging for the most part isn't all that great. Personally I'd rather just spam attacks as much as possible and only dodge special attacks.

yay jumped 11-14 with egg and mass leveling!

Timing is off. I've definitely dodged attacks but aoe attacks you can't do anything about like discharge.

This is where people are being dumb. I love PoGo so far but if I had a house and people were constantly walking all over my property you bet I'd be out there chasing them with a bat.

[Zealot]

Yeah, I was out yesterday and had a Squirtle on my radar (of course it turned out that the radar was bugged and never put anything at less than 3 paws - I did stumble onto a Clefairy, though) I wandered onto some grass and then realized "Shoot, this is someone's yard," and jogged back to the road.

[vagus]

Found a gym that was my team and wanted to support and toss up a Pokemon. Rolled up and and the gym was taken by another team.

Player just drove away so I attempted to take it back. Used my 1K Snorlax and destroyed him. Took my first gym, felt good. gf and I were jacked.

[Tyrath]

Cant believe the bugged radar is still not fixed. Kind of killing the game for me.

Awsome to see undiscovered pokemon and having no idea where to head to right?

[Tokitoki]

Saw an Electabuzz this morning. Always 3 footprints away. :sadface:

Yup. This happened yesterday

Over the weekend - Dragonair, Graveler, Cubone, Dragonite all lost to this stupid bug.

Thats been my radar for me the entire time. I thought thats how it was meant to be. I just kept walking to every bit of moving grass I saw. Ended up getting a lot of pokemon just from guessing

[Lyall]

Is Incense meant to be so... not exciting? I wasn't expecting lure-levels of spawn, but it barely seemed to do anything for me. Might have been because I wasn't walking very far? But in 30 minutes all I managed was a pair of spearows.

Basically seems to spawn a pokemon on top of you every ~5 min

Its supposed to lower the steps as you get closer. Helps you know if you're going the right way.
