what team are you on?; Mystic (by accident, I meant to pick Instinct as I had originally)

"By accident" >:C
But I am super jealous of you getting Deoxys. A friend of mine managed to get Giratina today and I was like asdfghjkl.

In other news, I've added some useful links from the Silph Road on how to earn XP, the current Raid pool, egg distances, current research tasks and buddy candy requirements ^^

man,, I’ve been consistently playing this game with my sis and my Mom since it came out! Where I used to live had a thriving PoGo community full of wonderful people, but where we live now,, not so much. Not that the players aren’t friendly,, but they don’t seem near as welcoming as the people back home. One of them straight told us that the people in the discord weren’t too friendly to “outsiders”,, but the ones we met later were pretty chill,,

On the bright side though, we all leveled up pretty high (35, 36, 37) with the best friend bonus, so we can pretty much take on any legendary with just the three of us! Helped 2 different groups of people today beat Giratina, one group was this lovely couple we’ve helped out before; and one of them got their first one ;u;

Out of curiousity, what are everyone’s goals in the game? Like finishing the dex, shiny hunting, etc? c:

Filling up the dex for me.
[broken record time]
I don't even want to say "finishing the dex" anymore cause by this point it feels pretty obvious that they arent going to make all pokemon available to everyone, specifically the EX raid ones. I'm so glad for other legends being obtainable through research tasks and not just through raids as I can only take on them on my own. People here just don't play anymore, youll often have gyms that don't get beaten for weeks, sometimes I've even seen ones that remain completely empty for days. And yeah, lets just say trading and battling is not gonna be for me.

I think region-locked Pokemon are the biggest issues for everyone when it comes to finishing the dex legitimately, since it requires you to either travel a lot or have someone from one of those regions trade you (and long-distance trading is not a thing, so they would also have to do some travelling).

Also, have you tried going out further, if possible? I think bigger towns and cities tend to be the most popular places to play these days, especially on community days. Apart from my group of friends, my hometown doesn't seem to have that big of a Go community anymore, but the city about 10 miles away can get pretty busy. I know my university campus has a small-ish community too, and gyms can be left alone for days sometimes (usually over the weekend). The gym between one of the lecture buildings and one of the course buildings gets the most attention though lol

oh i love seeing this thread so active! i’ve been playing since it came out, but i can’t play as actively anymore since we moved and there’s literally nothing. they seriously need to update the map, my neighborhood has existed longer than the app has lol.

My city is actually the 3rd biggest in the country, and the capital is a good 4 hours of bus away so haha that's likely not happening.

Nice to see this active again! I was wondering whether this thread was still alive

I've been playing since the month after release, and went without breaks. My goal is to either fill up my dex as much as possible or just getting my favorites. It's easy for me because my neighborhood (and like everywhere in a 30 mile radius) is very active in the game. It's useful to have a very touristic city, since many people from other countries show up and trade with you. There's many gyms on my street and stops near my house. Your lucky if gyms last an hour or more though, it's very competitive. I guess I just got lucky my town is a busy one. Can't do raids though, I'm too shy to join a discord/group chat with strangers, and my family and friends don't like the game. RIP me then hehe.

Please leave me be, Mr. Mime. Please.

Well, hello, my fellow Trainers, long time no see. I am super happy to see this thread active again.

So, I had to had a break, from the game, at first I had some issues with my phone GPS, but after hard reset, everything started to work again just fine, so that wasn't the problem anymore. Weather. Weather was. Ugh, I miss true winter, with snow, not constant rain. And then, when the weather got better, I got ill. I managed to get legends to have them in my dex (ALL of them have the lowest possible IV... my luck >.<), but I missed the events.
Though, if speaking about the events, I was super happy, when they put Rayquaza back on raids. I was slowly losing the hope of getting it.

If it comes to goals, my is to fill the dex. So far, I think I'm doing good (except from these precious shinies, they just don't like me ._.), I have almost everything I can from 1st to 3rd generation.

I guess, I should go and try to get an EX invitation, but I am not so keen on Deoxys and it's a bit of pain. Even though, I have an ex gym in park next to me. I'm just lazy, but if I get an invitation for Tuesday 11am, I won't be able to attend it anyway.
And honestly, more than another form of Giratina, I'd prefer to get shiny Shinx. Golden Luxray is so cool, so those are raids for me now. And plus is, I don't have to have other people to help me do the raid. ^^

Personally, I am really looking forward to special research featuring Jirachi. It will be a good motivation to go out more and do quests. c:

Dama, your image doesn't work for me. D:

@Hau-chan - a friend of mine (the same one I mentioned before) got an invite for an EX-Raid taking place in just over a weeks time. He was so torn on who to give the extra invite to, bless him. I’d absolutely argue for it but I’m not going to be back there in time, since it’s at my hometown and I’m currently 200+ miles away. The timing is quite unfortunate though, as me and another friend travel back the same day as the raid and we would probably miss it by about an hour. I’m sure there will be more opportunities though!

Also I don’t know what happened to the image but it should be fixed now ^^
