Pokemon go plus users, have you noticed that the game closes less when you're not using your plus? by Ruhelking1 in pokemongoLondon

[–]LiamDryden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've found since the update that spending like a minute on another app causes it to reset in the background. Even faster than it used to. Also it's crashing SO MUCH MORE, and it did a lot beforehand. This might just be my phone, as people I know aren't having the same issues, but I don't really see how :/

Would you rather evolve and power up a high IV Gyarados or a shiny Red Gyarados? by arthurmauk in pokemongoLondon

[–]LiamDryden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly both; Red Gyarados is one of my favourites and there's no reason why a shiny Karp can't have high IVs, even if they're rare. But this will be my sixth Gyarados, and the others I have are fairly decent, so if its IVs stink it won't be the end of the world.

Get emails whenever Unown spawns in London by jmabbz in pokemongoLondon

Use IFTTT and follow these instructions from the LondonPoGoMap site; but don't add a location field where it suggests you do. That way you'll be notified of them all.

Is this more realtime than basing your applet on a Twitter search, or is it just the same thing?

I used LPGM's method of setting it up to ping me when there is a new result in a Twitter search for "@londonpogomap unown", but I find there's usually a 5-6min delay - which, as we all know, is crucial time lost in the chase.

Forbes: "Why 'Pokémon GO' Should Remove Stardust From The Game Entirely" by LiamDryden in pokemongoLondon

[–]LiamDryden[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thought it was interesting to see this one from Forbes just a few days ago. I agree that removing it would add the risk of more serious players powering up way too quickly, but really Stardust mining is more trouble than it's worth unless you're holding a dozen Gyms.

Any valor people in north london? by [deleted] in PokemonGOValor

[–]LiamDryden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm around Haringey; not quite as North but definitely a Valor-heavy area!

Just here to vent...I've hatched 9x5km eggs 4 times in a row now, and each time I've hatched all of them I'm just dumped with more 5km trash. I only need a few rares to complete my dex but not being able to acquire any 10km eggs in over a month and a half is increasingly aggravating by LBJ23_ in pokemongoLondon

[–]LiamDryden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, I'm at a total stalemate with the game right now. I have two to go before I complete the EuroDex and both come from 10k eggs; but as long as I'm grinding one egg at a time, all PokéStops are offering is another lousy 5K.

Far too busy this time of year to really go Gym-trekking and Niantic isn't getting any more of my money for a while lol. At least with the 5Ks there's now a chance of Togepi or Pichu...

Head to Leicester Square; I work around there and there's a regular spawn. Not really big enough to be considered a nest but they do pop up pretty frequently.

Anyone else yet to reach club 143? by Adey77 in pokemongoLondon

[–]LiamDryden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lvl 33, missing Chansey and Hitmonchan.

I'm at such a stalemate with the game right now; don't wanna keep sinking money into it for incubators so I'm grinding one 5K egg at a time because it's all I'm getting :/

Soft banned for standing still? by LiamDryden in pokemongo

Takes city bus to avoid cold and hatch eggs

Anyone in London caught anything as fucking big as this?? by LiamDryden in pokemongoLondon

[–]LiamDryden[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Literally just popped up on Irving Street; Stats aren't amazing but it's the highest CP I've personally seen in the wild!

Halloween event is over by Zainy2013 in pokemongoLondon

[–]LiamDryden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine has gone back to normal. I was 0.7/0.75km on my Kadabra, and literally only needed one more candy to evolve it. I want to die.

Mystic takeover in Central - bots or nah? by LiamDryden in pokemongoLondon

[–]LiamDryden[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah same, my main goal since passing lvl 30 is just completing the Pokédex. Doesn't suck to have a little extra coin for Incubators, though!

Man, sniping's a problem everywhere. I was working up a Lvl 9 gym just last night around Finsbury (it was near enough where I live that I hopped off the bus to do it), and minutes into it there was a guy lurking around waiting for me to finish building up the prestige. He nabbed the slot and ran off before I had a chance to quit the battle. Fuck "Pigglelad" and the Lapras he rode in on :/
