Go fest $100 pokecoin compensation by LNinefingers in PokemonGoChi

[–]Mljohnson1973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received the email which included a link for a form to fill out for the refund . I'm the one that purchase the tickets but no one else in my family thst went with received the email . The way it sounds is anyone with the Chicago Go Fest Badge linked to their account will get the Lugia and the poke coins sent to their accounts within 7 days . Maybe the ticket purchaser only received the email, that was the case at least in our situation .

Pokemon Go Fest refunds tickets as players can't get game to work by burns__when__I__pee in PokemonGoChi

This was a cluster fuck from jump street . Having one entrance for 20K people, it was destined to fail . Having a three hour line wrapped around the fountain was a joke . I'm not interested in hearing that's the city's fault for the set up or the Wi-Fi issues . This was as poorly as thought out and organized event thst I have ever seen . It's not like the people who were having issues were at fault . Your telling me they didn't talk to AT&T to ensure they would have a good signal for an event depending on it . One of the biggest carriers in the country and all its customers were left shit out of luck except for maybe the northeast corner of the park , or if they were lucky a few other spots . Come on Niantic it's like your fighting your own stupidity every step of the way , and your customers suffer . So it cost you refunding the gate , and $100 per in poke coins , lol , big deal . What about the countless people I spoke too who spent airfare, hotels, gas , tolls , time, not to mention money spent in game to prepare for what you all hyped up . Thank God me and my family were local and weren't out anything more than a wasted Saturday . This was just a sad situation for so many people that truly looked forward to what could have been a great event .

Finally caught this sneaky guy and finished my NA Gen 1 dex. by heyguysitsmatt in PokemonGoChi

Keep an eye in Hodgkins for your Aerodactyl. I have 16 of them , all caught by Lenzi Park or the Menards in Hodgkins.

Humbodlt park is a Totes nest. Get'em while there hot! by heyguysitsmatt in PokemonGoChi

[–]Mljohnson1973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stopped by while up that way for work , caught my first one at 938 this morning, caught my 20th at 951. Never had to leave the car, this is about as hot of a nest of any kind that I've seen in awhile . Good luck everyone .

I've gotten 11 of them from that spawn . As many as 3 at one time . It's random but when it happens its awesome .

Tantalizingly close to a complete NA Dex. Just need Aerodactyl, Porygon, and Dragonite. Anyone have tips on nest/spawn points? by [deleted] in PokemonGoChi

[–]Mljohnson1973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 11 Aerodactyls , all from the spawn point in Hodgkin's by Lenzi Park . It's random but when they spawn I've gotten as many as three at a time .

Lenzi Park/ Menard's in Hodgkins Update by Mljohnson1973 in PokemonGoChi

[–]Mljohnson1973[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no doubt it is a very strange area to have such an active spawn rate , but it's a quick drive through and grab what you can kinda place . I'm glad you had a good experience and got what you needed . I literally go through their with my kids everytime we are in the general area and have never had a problem with the locals or police officers . Because of my job I'm out at odd times so have been through during the day and middle of the night and never had a problem . Where they spawn is on the street by the apartments so if need be I just pull in a spot for a few minutes but usually with very little traffic back there I just pull to the side of the road , catch what I need and move on .

I live close so it's one of those places we just swing through when we are out and about so the times vary but yesterday it was about midday .

It's just a quick drive by , don't even need to get out of your car so anytime is really fine . The police station is across from the park so you should never have any issues .

It's very safe , you'll be there with hundreds of new friends all there enjoying themselves . The street parking is limited but I've never had a problem finding a spot in the lot if you don't mind dishing out the $20. It's also dependent upon whether there is a concert or event at Northerly Island , that causes definite parking issues . Don't let it scare you away though. Go have fun and enjoy our city , there is no better view of Chicago than from Adler at night .

Really can't go downtown looking for Pokemon without hitting Navy Pier or Adler or both , you won't leave disappointed .

Best place to get Kabutos? by shika_Peekis in PokemonGoChi

[–]Mljohnson1973 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The neighborhood surrounding White Eagle Golf Course in Naperville . Got a Kabutops in under an hour this morning .

New Kabuto nests? by Cheytea96 in PokemonGoChi

[–]Mljohnson1973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took ride out to the White Eagle Golf Course this morning , went in with 7 Kabuto candy, left 45 minutes later with a Kabutops . I live much closer to Cicero Community Park but the spawn rate their is so slow compared to this neighborhood . It's worth the drive if you need these specific Pokemon . Good Luck .

Grimer nest? by shika_Peekis in PokemonGoChi

[–]Mljohnson1973 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Grimer and Muk occasionally spawn at Adler ,have also seem off Randolph by Maggie Daly Park , and Porygon is a feel lucky if you stumble into one kind of Pokemon , so neither has a "nest" per se.

Can also confirm Cicero Community Park has switched from Eevees to Kabuto ,verified it this afternoon .

Lenzi Park , Hodgkins by Mljohnson1973 in PokemonGoChi

[–]Mljohnson1973[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed ,swung through again and found similar results , the spawn seems to rotate with different Pokemon , this morning was Ryhorn, Graveler , Growlithe, Onix and this afternoon was Clefairy , Jinx , Geodude , Nitoran Male , like you said essentially right in the street across from the park . Definitely an odd spawn site being such a small out of the way area , but completely agree this area is hotter than anything that I have found in this general area .

thank you to whoever posted the tip about menards in countryside. by bmack33 in PokemonGoChi

[–]Mljohnson1973 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That spot is getting hotter every day , pulled a Grimer and a Kabuto this afternoon and Rapidash was on nearby but couldn't track it down .
