41.88 km. Not very far, I know, I keep forgetting to open the game when I walk places :(

Blanche October 9th, 2016 11:08 AM

Going the extra distance is an achievement of its own.

QUESTION OF THE DAY

What is your proudest achievement in Pokémon GO so far?


UltimateUmbreon October 10th, 2016 7:52 AM

My proudest achievement is probably just getting to level 27. I started playing a few days late and for the first couple weeks didn't play much because I wasn't a huge fan of the game during the beta test. I thought the game was so impractical because you can't play while you're driving and I was either at work, at home, or driving. Then I realized that was the whole point. Getting out of the house just to get out and explore, so I started doing that and played and I think I've made up for lost time quite well.

Hatching a Charmander from my 2km egg a few days ago. My luck in this game has been SO bad and I can't think of much else. If you count cool sightings I never actually found, then spotting Dragonite and Electabuzz.. but I didn't get any of those. D: <

Frankly, I'm not terribly proud of anything I've achieved in this game. It's fun, but just a game.

As a physicist, I find the game an interesting example of a parallel universe!

Hot topic alert! Generation II stuff.

QUESTION OF THE DAY

Are you making preparations for the hopefully eventual release of Generation II Pokémon? If so, what are your plans?


Altairis October 10th, 2016 10:48 PM

Hmmm... not really! I mean, sort of. I like to keep one Pokemon of every evolution, so I save a few in case I'm going to evolve some into generation 2 Pokemon. I also catch everything I see that has a future evolution, like Onix, so that I'll be able to evolve them sooner :)

Sheep October 11th, 2016 4:18 PM

Not much.. I just catch things as I normally would without gen II in my thoughts. I am happy having a hefty bit of Scyther candy though, since Scizor's coming out at some point in the near future. Always nice knowing I've been collecting.

Yep, I'm doing this as well. Hoarding a ton of Poliwag candy for Politoed, Oddish candy for Bellossom, Chansey candy for Blissey, etc.

I'm closing in on 600 Eevee candies...

Let's talk trading!

QUESTION OF THE DAY

There are many ways players can potentially trade in the future. What would your ideal trading system look like?


Sheep October 12th, 2016 11:22 AM

For fairness' sake I'd like it if you could only trade with nearby players. Would completely defeat the point of the game if you could trade with anyone across the world like in main series Pokémon games, though I doubt Niantic would do that haha. Makes it too easy. Maybe put a daily/weekly limit on trading so people don't quickly fill their dex by trading with someone who has mostly everything already? We'd need some sort of limit at the very least or I can see this game becoming too easy for many people given that collecting's the main point.

I get your concerns, but it also almost defeats the purpose of trading by only allowing it with nearby players, right? The pokemon I would most want to trade for are those I do not yet have, namely the regional exclusives. If I can't trade with someone for a Mr. Mime, Farfetch'd, or Kangaskhan, I will never ever ever get one. Is there a chance that someone near me has one? Sure, but what are the odds they're going to want to trade it with me given that I live in America and they probably don't have enough to the point where they'd be willing to trade one.

I would like to see as you mention some sort of limit to trading, though. I don't want it to be so easy for me to access the pokemon I need. If I can only do a limited number of trades, or a limited number of trades for the pokemon I need, or if it costs something to trade, or something along those lines, it would make me think about trading wisely.

QUESTION OF THE DAY

Do you play with sound/music on or off?


UltimateUmbreon October 13th, 2016 7:18 AM

I play with sound/music off. I usually have spotify open while I play...gotta get ready for a few concerts next month!

S­park October 14th, 2016 6:39 PM

New update means new questions!

QUESTION OF THE DAY

Have you noticed any increased success with catching Pokémon now that medals affect catch rates?


VisualJae October 15th, 2016 7:34 PM

I personally noticed a higher success rate with starter Pokémon as I haven't had a single one escape from me since the update.

Could just be luck, of course ;)

Candela October 15th, 2016 7:36 PM

QUESTION OF THE DAY

In any given day, when do you usually play Pokémon GO?


MizEileen October 15th, 2016 10:36 PM

I play during my commute to and from work and when I run errands on Sunday.

VisualJae October 17th, 2016 6:45 PM

Thank you to everyone who have participated in this activity!

I will no longer be maintaining this thread as it's a little too much work for me to keep track of each day. If someone would like to continue this activity, let me know via PM and I can arrange something.

Sheep October 18th, 2016 11:18 AM

In any given day, when do you usually play Pokémon GO?

It's hard to say. Almost always when I go out unless I need to preserve battery, so it can be during the day when I'm out for interviews or other tasks, or at night when I hang out with little brother to play. So it's extremely varied.

Bummer you can't maintain it anymore. =( I did think a question a day was too much though. Tiring to think of topics and remember posting them each day. Weekly might've been less exhausting?

Jonathan1990 October 21st, 2016 1:13 PM

Does anyone on here from America have Mr Mime like I do but I'm from the UK?
