Pokemon Go

Well eventually youre gonna run out of pokeballs and have to start finding 3-5 pokestops to walk in circles around. Or like my town we have a "historic district" with tons of stops walking in a straight line down the main road up to the towns water play park.

Plus you have to be going under 15 miles per hour to get credit for egg hatching. So you can ride a bike and hatch your eggs but no car driving.

Not to mention that if you're in just one location, you're only going to get the same set of Pokemon. You have to go around to other places and terrains to collect the various types of pokemon.

Actually I see people with bright phone lights on cruising through the neighborhood at like 5-10mph at night every night stopping in the middle of the road to catch one they find it looks like. its quiet enough its not a big deal.
that park I'm right next to has two pokestops one is a park pavilion and the other is the outdoor swimming pool and they are like 100 feet from each other. and then the rec center which is a gym (both literally and in the game ;P) is like 150 feet from that. I could see a lure at the pavilion from my house course I'm probably only 700 feet from the park pavilion. so they just sit in there at night.
 
We've been calling the cops on the braindead morons playing this. They gather outside of people's homes at all hours of the night and day looking for pokemon. The cops came just this morning and dispersed a crowd of the idiots wandering around a residential park close to us at 2am. Making all sorts of noise.

I'm hoping someone comes up with a class action suit against the game makers.

It would obviously be smart to resort to a "night switch" technology when makes it switch to the users house instead of town during night time. Or other areas that are publicly 24 hours a day.

Ya the campers are kinda annoying. After 5-10 minutes of sitting at a lure i just wanna get up and leave and walk around. But if its getting them to the park at least they are spending tax money on gas.... lol.
 
Okay. I've been playing the game pretty steady...since I'm retired I've been able to spend every morning this week at it. I'm now level 21 and about 2/3's toward 22. The higher you get, the more XP you need for the next level.

I've been engaged in a little gym action, but the XP rewards are very few. The best thing about gyms, if you can keep your toon in there, is that you get poke coins. (oh, and the satisfied feeling you get when you kick butt on yellow or red team members and knock them OUT of the gym)

For those interested in leveling your toon quickly, here is the best procedure I've found...but it'll cost you some real money.

1. Buy poke coins.
2. Buy one Lucky Egg, one Incense and one or two Lures.
3. Find a PokeStop or two close together. Put Lures on each of them. Activate the Lucky Egg and the Incense.
4. Catch all the Pokemons that spawn, transfer all that you don't need and keep an eye out and evolve every single one you can...before the timer on your Lucky Egg runs out.

I've gotten 20K-30K XP in a half hour using that technique.

Happy Hunting!!

Another trick is to catch ALL those common pokemon and save up 300-400 candy for all the common ones. Then you pop a x2 exp luck egg and proceed to evolve 20 of each of your commons with all that saved up candy. So far im up to about 150-200 of the pidgey, ratata, weedle candies. It feels good to evolve stuff and discover stuff but if you mass stock all your common candies and do it in 1 lucky- egg its supposed to be better.
