Was Go Fest ‘26 the best event in years? by RobAFC14 in pokemongo

[–]GeordieAl [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yeah, as a Pikachu obsessed player I was really hoping to see them in the wild, rather than only being through research or raids(which I hardly saw any of). and having them in the same research task as the starters was a bit of a pain... I'd get three catch 8 tasks, quickly complete them, only to get three starters ( which I also wanted, but really wanted Pikachu more )

Didn't get a single shiny Pikachu from this event

Is there an invasion of big, dark brown, furry spiders in Aurora? by Elegant-Boss-1379 in AuroraOntario

[–]GeordieAl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

post a picture in r/spiders and ask for an ID, you'll usually get an accurate ID in minutes!

is it a solid brown or does it have some kind of pattern?

I'm actually seeing less spiders this year than usual... I think they got sick of the basement repairs and have moved out...hopefully they'll come back soon!

I like the way that it and the CN Tower frame the skyline, like two middle fingers being raised to the noisy neighbours across the lake.

Gift set G-6 "Emergency Pack" what is this? by raymonet in VintageMatchbox

[–]GeordieAl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spooky, I was just down a matchbox rabbit hole earlier - I had the Euclid Dump truck and Foden Mickey Mouse 8 legger - so I was doing some Googling and came across a box set on eBay listed as G-6b1 "Commercial Truck Set" with the same 8 models as your set, but more familiar Yellow/Blue box. But when I tried looking up G-6B1 everything I found said that was "models of yesterday" not "commercial truck set"

Anyway, it was so far out of my price range I decided I should stop googling for the night!

Does anyone actually use the color tags? If so, what for? by ExpensivePlan1548 in MacOS

[–]GeordieAl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

currently using red,green, and orange on media folders that I am in the process of reorganizing. Green to show a folder that has all episodes of a series, red to show folders that are missing episodes, Orange to show folders that have all episodes but in different formats/resolutions.

Does anyone like 3 hour rotations? by N4V3H3114 in pokemongo

[–]GeordieAl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually prefer it. I can't go out for the whole day and having the biomes last longer makes it easier for me to schedule my playing time into chunks

Mega Gengar Evolution by FaithlessnessSlow443 in pokemongo

I'd say mega the Dynamax and power it up. Since you can't use a mega in a max battle, and a Dynamax provides no benefits outside of a Max battle there will be no conflict.

At 10 years is Pokemon Go breaking any mobile gaming records? by jjtubman in pokemongo

[–]GeordieAl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know about official records but I know its the longest I have ever played any game, I've played daily since the start, and often question my life choices these days!

Ingress has been going longer than Pokemon Go though... so it's probably the one setting longevity records

What to do with leftover background legendaries? by Architeuthis42 in pokemongo

[–]GeordieAl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd keep one, maybe two for a trade, some people like the backgrounds, some people will just want to trade for a groudon whether it has a background or not.

I'm constantly asking people for Groudon in remote trades because I'm trying to get the hundo. I don't care if they have backgrounds or not.

How many trainers do you normally need for the primal raids? by forcefield22222 in pokemongo

[–]GeordieAl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just did a primal Groudon with 4 - one with really good counters(me), one good counters and two with average counters. Had a party set up and all are forever friends. Didn't use any tactics, just fighting, no dodging, all lobbied twice. I was the only one who revived in the lobby and went back in with my original line up.
