I live at a ski resort where there's a few gyms at the top of chairs that are closed in the summer. I was tempted last year to go up and take one of them on the last day and enjoy holding it from April to November, unless some motivated hikers came along. Then I didn't end up going up on closing day.

Why did they have to add in the new gen just as winter is starting? I love me some Pokemon but not enough to go out when it hits -40C. :colbert:

Canada is such an amazing place that the -40 where Furnaceface lives is actually well below the line where Pachirisu starts to spawn.

Yowza. I'm in Michigan, it was snowing today, but I'll take that over -40....pretty much any day.

Also, fun fact: -40 in Celsius is -40 in Fahrenheit. Wild.

Got off work, saw by my house an EX eligible gym with a Mawile with 2 minutes left, ran over there immediately to hop in mainly in hopes to trigger an ex pass. Nearly out of breath I got in, then got this:

Central IL about midway between St. Louis and Chicago.

It's a pretty decent-sized town with two universities and a very active pogo community. But drive off in any direction for 20-30 minutes and you're in loving cornfields and tiny shithole towns with random gyms at their post offices or whatever.

Well if you go west from my city across the lake you hit Michigan. I line up with a place called Grayling. Between the great lakes and the natural geography, the area that surrounds me creates some very extreme weather so I can see 40C+ in the summer with humidity and -40C or colder with windchill in the winter. Also tons of snow (~230cm average). It certainly makes going out and playing this game interesting. :v:

Also yeah, I dont get Pachirisu. Just the same dumb Tauros everyone else gets. :(

I am the Walrus.

The Gen 4 launch along with the general spawn changes has been a lot of fun. I've been seeing evolved forms of lots of things and there have been plenty of Gen 4 starters around. It took me forever to fully evolve all of the Gen 3 starters so it feels way different this time around.

My best Gen 4 find so far is a 98% weather boosted 1043cp Turtwig. Also found a 96% Piplup, although i also have an 80% with double the CP.

So for the weekly field research thingie. I completed it now, but I don't want to claim the reward now because it's a Suicuine or w/e.
I can just wait until it's something else and then claim the reward right?

it won't change until the end of the month so you might as well just claim it now.

Mixed that up. The quest that completed the Suicune was an evolve 10 waters, which gives Dratini. :doh:

that'll unfortunately only be for gen 2 most likely, which only has 2 regionals.

this also means that unless they do these events more often, it'll be some three years until we get these gen 4 regionals.

I've been catching Murkrows. Tons of them. Since I started playing again I have had a strange affinity for them. I named the highest CP and IV one Poe. Whenever I catch a better Murkrow, Poe is ground up and replaced with Poe. Out of the hundreds of Murkrow I've caught, I've never seen a shiny. I have time though. I have candy for evolution. I continue to catch Murkrow.

I've never seen a shiny Murkrow, despite clicking on all of them I've ever seen. Same with Wailmer.

I think it's the RNG evening out the fact that I have two shiny Shellder, despite only having seen like 300 of them in the history of the game, not even since they started being potentially shiny.

I got a shiny Murkrow about two months ago! Now a shiny Roselia I've never seen one of those.

Also this just made me laugh:
