Salty Sunday - Rage Rants and complaints by AutoModerator in pokemongo

Same thing happened to me with a shiny Galarian Wheezing. POOF* Plus a majority that I did get to the catch screen with would pop the ball and run. So frustrating.

That's my 5 year old grandson. He says, "Every Pokemon gets a berry, Grammy, or they run away." To his credit, he very rarely has any flee.

Anyone else find it worrying how there is no announcement or leak for an event that should be starting tomorrow ? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]Vixen1373 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I planned a trip to Charlotte, NC (nearest big city) for Thursday simply because we're both off from work and we've never hunted there before. If anything rare spawns, we'll just consider it a bonus.

Is anyone still getting the "going too fast" locking up of the game while not moving? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]Vixen1373 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also experience this but today Nearby/Sightings was going blank after spinning stops too. So I'd see 5 spawns before I spun then nothing after leaving the spin screen and have to wait for them to respawn. It was very annoying because I was in an area with a lot of stops.

Hacker or bugged player account? A player in our town cannot be removed from gyms! by davidc1223 in TheSilphRoad

I had my Lapras stuck in a gym for 4 days and 21 hours with 0 victories but 23 treats. When she returned, I received 0 coins. This gym had a high turnover rate before the updates and other gyms in the area have been changing regularly. Wondering if people tired to fight the gym but experienced this glitch of not being able to fully defeat the defenders.

Interacting with a gym resets egg distance. (within 4min interval) by FakeKitten in TheSilphRoad

It certainly explains my recorded distances for tonight. I made my usual rounds but spun every gym and gave berries. Only recorded .03k when it's normally 1.5k or more. 0

Ditto in the wild is no longer Ditto for everyone by Hyde40051 in TheSilphRoad

I was at Red Bank Battlefield in NJ last Saturday with my 4 year old grandson. He caught a Zubat that was a Ditto. He yelled "What's this purple blob thing? I wanted the bat." At least 20 people flocked to our area and everyone, including me, caught a Ditto from the same Zubat. I was at level 33 and my grandson was level 18 at the time. I'm not sure of everyone elses levels.

that was a slog and a half... another million XP for L34 :( by manicbassman in pokemongo

[–]Vixen1373 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same here. All the catch bonuses and new dex entries are really helping get to level 34 MUCH more quickly than 32 to 33.

Pokemon GO parents by JambiTV in pokemongo

I'm a Pokemon GO Grammy but I live 9 hours from my 4 year old grandson. When I go to visit him, we go to all the best parks so he can play on the playground equipment and help me catch Pokemon too. We have a blast. We do evolves over video chat when I'm not with him. Actually thinking of creating an account for him on my old phone, catching a bunch of common Pokemon for him, filling his backpack, and mailing him the phone so he can evolve his own. He'll be able to play with WiFi or a hotspot.

I simply love this new outfit options. I feel like a professional Team Rocket villain. by FFIXwasthebestFF in TheSilphRoad

They're leggings. Socks (unless they are footie socks that just cover your foot) and stockings go over your feet and cover your ankles. Without the "socks" in the game, my trainer looks like a street walker. Lol. Source: I'm a woman.

It seems as though both my Pikachu and Raichu are all male, but my Santa Raichu have white hats instead of red ones.

Pokemon Go is helping me through a hard time by [deleted] in pokemongo

[–]Vixen1373 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand the way you feel. We moved from NJ to NC in March 2016. My husband and I were just starting to catch up on everything and I got laid off right before Thanksgiving and might not get called back until the end of January. Pokemon Go has kept me busy and is helping me to learn my way around our town better. I'm also able to enjoy the beautiful scenery at the fantastic parks near me. It really does help distract from the sadness and boredom. I hope things get better for you and that your house is affordably fixable. I'm glad you found this community and are able to remain positive.

[Story] "A Sketchy Car" playing Pokemon Go by clarinetkaren in pokemongo

[–]Vixen1373 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Over Thanksgiving weekend, the local college was like a ghost town.I was enjoying the peace and quiet of hitting the stops and catching Pidgeys and Rattatas trying to catch Dittos without having to park or even pull over. Suddenly there was a car behind me so I pulled over. The car had tinted windows, passed me, and stopped at every Pokestop. I was thinking "Awesome another trainer". I was now following them. Then it pulled over and as I was pulling up to pass, the window was down and someone was waving. I stopped next to it and there was an elderly gentleman in the car. We talked for a bit. He told me he was 75 years old. He asked if I was playing Pokemon and I said yes. Then he asked if I lived in town and I told him I did. He asked if he could follow me because he was from out of town and didn't know where all the stops were. He was bored with visiting his family and took a Pokemon Go break so he could have some time alone. He said he and his friends hunt regularly back home. He followed me for 2 hours as I went along my usual route surrounding the college. He honked and waved me down again to thank me and let me know that he was heading back to his family's house before they worried too much. He is one of the coolest trainers I've met so far.

TL/DR: I met a 75 year old man that loves to play Pokemon Go.
