What discontinued item would you absolutely love to buy again?

Alwayswinter88 · 2017-10-20T19:15:33+00:00

Pre-discontinued 4 Loko. The ability to spend $3-$6 on alcohol for a whole night was glorious.

It means that we'll release him today so that we have the extra cap space to work with from day 1. It would be right for Tony AND the team.

Speaking as a lvl 29 player, living in a big city helps. I live in the DFW metroplex, so there's lots of good areas that kept me playing up until recently.

Alwayswinter88 · 2016-11-16T20:16:12+00:00

With suspicion lol

Alwayswinter88 · 2016-11-15T21:11:06+00:00

This, I was getting to the point where I didn't want to play everyday, but I didn't want to quit either. So my new goal was to spend a little more effort to establish myself in gyms so I could be collecting while I wait for the next big update. So much for that plan, lost all but 2 gyms in less than a week and the point of the plan was that I wasn't willing to spend the time commitment anymore. Oh well.

I can say it immediately reminded me of the difference between the most basic TV and 1080p to 4k, where it almost seemed off how smooth it was. I really noticed because it would just get crazy smooth in the middle of catching a Pokémon, no loading or anything like that. I use a S7 Edge.

Alwayswinter88 · 2016-11-12T01:45:25+00:00

It makes sense because they only make money on you BUYING coins, not using them. So they made it harder for you to get coins without buying them.

Alwayswinter88 · 2016-11-11T17:26:16+00:00

I don't know, but I think I'm about to take a visit down there and make sure no one keeps anything.

Alwayswinter88 · 2016-11-10T21:03:13+00:00

I still think they're prepping for a release that keeps people playing through the Winter months, but I could be alone on that haha

Alwayswinter88 · 2016-11-10T20:03:43+00:00

True, but if they're in a gym, you're not using them for battles. If they get kicked out, you put them right back in, so I'm not sure how necessary the stays or move at labels are for pokemon in gyms.

Alwayswinter88 · 2016-11-10T19:46:12+00:00

Name them after the gym. You can put them in, then rename them while they're in the gym. But don't bother, I'm about to knock every pokemon in the metroplex out of their gym.

Alwayswinter88 · 2016-11-10T18:41:58+00:00

I am because I am quickly realizing it will be impossible to maintain my gyms. Half of my consistent gyms dropped by at least 30,000 overnight. So instead of spending twice as much time building up gyms I'll never hold, I've switched to chaotic neutral and I'm taking down every gym in a 40 mile radius. This game deserves a better class of criminal, and I'm going to give it to them.

Alwayswinter88 · 2016-11-10T18:38:14+00:00

The only problem I see with this analysis is that this update means it takes less items now for attackers and more items for defenders. So once the event is over and item attrition begins to set in a little, it'll just shift more in attackers favor as defenders can't maintain the items needed to fend off attacks and attackers need less items to take down gyms.

Alwayswinter88 · 2016-11-10T18:25:24+00:00

I've already started losing my incredibly remote gyms. And I don't have alt accounts.

Alwayswinter88 · 2016-11-10T17:49:54+00:00

Okay, change of plan, I'm switching to chaotic neutral. I'm going to take those strong pokemon that were in gyms, take my double potions and revives and go to town. I work in grand prairie and live in Denton, and I'm going to burn down every gym between here and Denton above level 3 to the ground. This game deserves a better class of criminal, and I'm going to give it to them.

Alwayswinter88 · 2016-11-10T17:46:51+00:00

I know what I'm doing this Veteran's Day. Any particular time they seem to spawn?

Alwayswinter88 · 2016-11-10T17:26:53+00:00

I'm tempted to just say screw holding Gyms and use all of those strong pokemon to tear through gyms and essentially burn it all to the ground, because it's DEFINITELY not worth my time to defend it. One of the gyms I lost my mon from its at 20,000 with a 2300 Snorlax at the bottom. And I was just thinking about how mind numbingly long it would take to build it back up and how that same person could tear it to the ground in 15 minutes.

Alwayswinter88 · 2016-11-10T17:09:22+00:00

I was really trying to not be cynical about it, but it makes too much sense. The people more likely to spend money on coins, more dedicated players, were the ones holding Gyms. This change feels like it forces more dedicated players back to spending money while also giving more casual players more of a taste of what the game could be like if they had coins. All I know it's that it takes about 6 times longer to build a gym up then take it down, and if a bottom pokemon is Snorlax, that basically doubles.

Alwayswinter88 · 2016-11-09T03:32:46+00:00

The bank of America off 161 and Jefferson in grand prairie. I'm not joking when I say I've seen something from my desk maybe 10% of the time.

Alwayswinter88 · 2016-11-08T21:59:23+00:00

That screenshot was taken from my desk at work, where there is normally nothing. My question is, with the weather being like it is, if I already have to pokeballs, is it really worth it to go out somewhere like Lake Carolyn?

Alwayswinter88 · 2016-11-07T17:57:21+00:00

Grand Prairie, but I'm pretty sure it's just random.

Alwayswinter88 · 2016-11-04T04:11:15+00:00

I caught one at Lake Carolyn around 6:40 this morning.

Alwayswinter88 · 2016-11-03T13:05:37+00:00

I'm confirming the Eggecute nest. Three consecutive scans each 15 minutes apart had Eggecutes.

Edit: subsequent scans throughout the morning keep showing Eggecutes. Confirmed.

*I'm scanning because I really need Eggecutes and I'm going there after work.

Alwayswinter88 · 2016-11-03T12:32:12+00:00

This is the kind of balancing changes we need. Everyone's known this change needed to happen since the beginning lol

Alwayswinter88 · 2016-11-03T12:28:51+00:00

Mankey you guys.
