If I had one. I got the idea after seeing someone put a Kangaskhan in a gym. Still haven't seen a Farfetch'd myself.

I'll do this untill I'm sure everyone around here has the shadow in their dex. :P drat, should have kept my Tauros and Millitank for that. So far I've got the Dex entries for Mr. Mime and Heracross, so thanks to whoever put those mons in my neighborhood gyms.

Do you no longer claim coins for putting something in a gym?

Avalerion posted:Do you no longer claim coins for putting something in a gym? You do, when your mon gets defeated and leaves the gym it brings back coins. One coin per 10 minutes spent in the gym, limit 50 coins received per day. Well you don't need to actually claim, the mon takes care of it for you.

I guess I sorta see what the "incentive" is for attacking gyms—increase your Gym Badge experience to get Bronze/Silver/Gold, which in turn will net you more items. If your team is holding down that gym, you get even more items. Problem is, more items doesn't seem to be as rewarding as getting rarer items. I wouldn't mind taking down gyms on the regular, if the reward bonus for all my hard work is spinning at least a few Lucky Eggs/Incense/Lures/Evolution items as a Gold/Team bonus.Chairman Mao posted:Stardust.

Rich Uncle Chet posted:Where as before the scene was kind of dead, and most people probably just played for a few minutes out of habit, I've been to many, many raids in the past week and a half, and gyms are actually changing hands again, and the game is fun. Likewise here. But of course my city's PoGo Facebook page is full of some idiot whining because he and nine of his friends can't hold all the gyms in the city on a permanent basis anymore. Think of it this way. If a gym rotated between teams every eight hours like clockwork, the theoretical payout would be 18 players * 48 coins = 864 coins per day that Niantic is giving out for free. Contrast that with the previous system, where the aforementioned idiot and his friends all hold a gym for a day, for a payout of 10 players * 10 coins = 100 coins. That's a serious increase in the (at least theoretical) amount of freebies that Niantic is giving out, and they're spread out a lot more evenly among all players, not just held by the most dedicated 1%. Psion posted:What I'd like is a way to directly recall pokemon to collect (which weakens a gym which makes a takeover simpler for the other teams) and/or a direct coin reward for taking enemy gyms. It would be very easy to blend this with the current system: 10 coins for dropping a Pokemon in a gym, plus x amount over time that you hold the gym. That way if you get booted out 15 minutes later, you still get just as many coins as you would have gotten for holding the gym an entire day under the old system.

I think it's just noticeable by team. Where I live, blue absolutely dominated and it wasn't worth trying to get more than 10 coins because gyms would be flipped back so fast. I never held more than 3 gyms at any point ever, since I was on red. Now I'm able to get in gyms for a few hours to days since the stranglehold is gone, and I don't need to spend 10-20 minutes trying to earn ten cents. I've gotten more coins since the revamp that I usually earned in 2 months, especially with how easy it is to throw guys into newly opened gyms. So if you were red or yellow, it's a huge benefit, if you were an active blue player at high level it probably sucks.

Is anyone else seeing crazy XP amounts today? My daughter has been getting 250-500 per pokestop and double to triple XP for random catches. I'm not seeing it on mine, save for a few random stops at lunch, but every single time she's piling up XP

If they added a way to recall Pokes, gyms would go back to stagnating since everyone would just recall, collect & re-add.

Hobo Clown posted:If they added a way to recall Pokes, gyms would go back to stagnating since everyone would just recall, collect & re-add. They're already starting to, so this wouldn't change much. Adding a cooldown on returning a pokemon to that gym could also address it. As in, if you get kicked out naturally you can retake immediately, if you deliberately recall you're out of that gym for x hours.

They just need to add some kind of marker to indicate gyms that are stagnant and a bounty for taking them over, as was mentioned even a small amount of stardust would do it.

Or even boot people out when they're max gold (50). Just keep the cap on the gold so people could get in when they can and not worry about them trying to max out their gym limits for no gain and it would keep the gym game fresh.

I knew there was this one awkward gym off the highway that is a bitch to stop off for but was such a boon to control in the old days. Now I drove past it and it's a Mystic gym full of dead Pokemon that's crying to be released. More confirmation for me that not fighting gyms is the easiest way to go for this lovely new gym system. gently caress everyone's coins.

I spent ages whittling down the motivation of a yellow gym, then as hey we're on the edge of win kicked out, it crashed and I was locked out of the gym. Wait five minutes and they've all been berries to full health. Total waste of time Change your system clock to get around timeouts!

I love how Niantic shared a piece of anniversary artwork, then immediately deleted it because they accidentally used an old version. https://twitter.com/PokemonGoApp/status/882802770864214017 :niantic:

Went to local park this morning, all the gyms were already Valor and fed. So I headed home, tried to do some dirty pour art and bubble art, and in between raging over the fact everything I do should be on NailedIt (save for one. I FINALLY FIGURED OUT MY FUCKUPS FOR DIRTY POUR.), went to the bathroom, opened the app, and a Mareep greeted me. So worth not staying at the park for. I saw more stuff about the Chicago event, with special 2k eggs that might have regionals in them. Part of me is pissed I can't go. A smarter park is glad because gently caress walking a dozen or more 2k eggs in one day only to get a dozen Geodudes and maybe one Tauros.

This bit of news has popped up on both Eurogamer and Serebii, but I haven't seen an official announcement yet. Probably later today.quote:To celebrate Pokémon GO’s one-year anniversary, Niantic and The Pokémon Company today revealed that from now through July 13, Trainers will be able to find and catch Pikachu wearing Ash’s famous hat from the Pokémon animated series. A new featured store item, the Anniversary Box, which contains Incubators, Max Revives, Ultra Balls and a Raid Pass, will also be available for a limited time through the in-game shop at a discounted price. e: Okay, it's official. Apparently it lasts through July 24, not July 13. quote:

i mean poo poo i waste stardust on dumb pokemon too like sandslash (cause he's my favorite gen 1) and long-term my end goal is to have at least one fully powered-up 90%+ iv final evolution from every line, but the stardust bottleneck has made it so i can't even power up good teams right now. at least i was able to power up an alakazam and machamp for the current raid meta before running totally out i guess.

Louisgod posted:It looks like they added back the battle animations on gyms that are under attack. Can they now add a queue for raids, or an indication of the time remaining in the lobby of a raid about to begin. Showing up to a raid and not knowing if people are in the 120 counter lobby or not really sucks. Yes, I know...talk to the people around, which I do. But having access to view it quickly would be more helpful.
