Going for the hidden 5 heart friendship tier, 5+ bonus to rear end eating.

Anyway, seems all three of the new starters are showing up consistently enough. 40 candy away on Turtwig's main evolve and 80 away on Chimchar's. I caught a 1051 CP Turtwig this morning, which is something like 82% or whatever.

I've caught a bunch of Turtwig and Piplup already. I've seen Chimchar on radar but haven't had one actually show up for me. I'll probably have to hunt them down later.

e: A Chimchar finally spawned for me, and the fucker ran after it broke out of the first ball! :argh:

Hey man, gotta do whatever it takes to overturn pokemon abortions!

Pokémon abortions are 90% of the game. Catch one, check it’s IVs, Pokebort it immediately if it’s sub-90%.

Fuckers want you to buy enough storage to carry 22% IV Bidoofs. Goddamn religious right.

Screen on or running in the background make much difference? If it's running in the background do I need to bring the app to the fore occasionally?

The idea of a living dex is growing on me a bit, I might attempt it for at least the Kanto 'mons as they are my favorites. I'd just have to bump up my storage and oh god this is how it starts isn't it

I literally had not heard the term "living dex" until the other day in this thread, and was all "how is that different from a regular dex where you have at least one of each?". Then realized, wow, I've been conflating the literal Pokedex with one's Pokemon box. Had no idea anybody would ever delete their only copy of a given Pokemon. Kinda figured holding onto them was just the default behavior.

It's especially weird to me since I'm a pretty casual player on a locally-minority team and still manage to scrape together enough gold to upgrade storage periodically. (That said, I live in a relatively urban area so I can totally get rural-ish folks who play F2P-only and never have any real opportunity to be in gyms ever.)

The best method of racking up distance with a gotcha is to live and/or work in a highrise building where reception and gps can be spotty so you're drifting all over the place.

But seriously if you have a gotcha you can have your screen locked the entire time it stays connected (1 hour) and it'll track your distance as best as pogo can, which is not very good. That said you'll probably want to check it once in a while to incubate more eggs or slot in a gym or whatever.

My biggest gotcha problem is my phone pushing POGO out of memory. It's not all the time which makes it worse, but I usually try to check in every 20 minutes or so to make sure the app didn't close.

From what I've read, on Android at least, the phone has a much larger chance of killing PoGo in the background if you have 2 GB of RAM or less.

I did some experimenting with my 5X, which only has 2 GB RAM. It usually has around 600-700 MB free for apps at any point, and PoGo takes up around 450 MB. So opening almost anything else on top of that will force-quit PoGo.

I wish I knew of a way to safely reduce System RAM usage, but I don't. I'll upgrade to a better phone eventually.

Seriously, all I need to do is drive like 20 minutes and I can find a gym where my Pokemon will stay for 3 weeks.

Where do you live where this is possible?

This is the gym's current state as of ~90 minutes ago:


It's been now 3 days and 6 hours for my girlfriend's Snorlax. Dunno how impressive that is for Brooklyn, but I guess at the absolute latest, it'll go down once Community Day hits, since last month, people were swarming that park for it.

This happened to me yesterday as well, but with a Piplup. Restarting the app brought it back to normal size and let me catch it.


Also, has anyone gotten a really annoying bug when doing gym battles? When I start every other battle or so, the Pokemon I had originally selected to attack first will get automatically switched out once the battle starts (conveniently one that is weak to the enemy Pokemon) and then not be part of the attack roster at all. It's a pain, especially since it tends to happen while fighting one of the usual gym tanks.
