JessOfAllTrades Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 I assumed my phone couldn't handle it, but alas, here I am two days in, at level 6, on Team Mystic. My town isn't a great spot for stops and pokemon, but Annapolis, Baltimore, and DC are supposed to be great. 1 Quote Storytelling Rebel | Blog | Twitter "“You've seen my descent, now watch my rising." ~ Rumi Link to comment
UnquietBones Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 I'm not lucky enough to have a pokestop next door, but there are four at my work (and four gyms!) so you know half the building is constantly playing. The joys of working in IT! You can add me to Team Instinct because lo, me and my coworkers are underdog sorts! (Although there's enough yellow where I live that we're in control of the gyms at least part of the time...) We are lucky to have a good representation of all three colors at work, so the gyms trade back and forth constantly-- I've been putting in time trying to learn all the type offsets and how to dodge (apparently you can only dodge the secondary attacks?). We are lucky folks, eevees spawn almost as much as the rats and pigeons around here! Now if only the servers would come back up so I can go to the city center's fountain tomorrow and farm my Gyarados. 2 Quote Learning the art of Failing Upwards...

Just fyi. :-) On a side note, I got one of those nifty battery packs, so I can venture out for longer periods. 3 Quote "Insanity - you make my world a better place man, you really do!

Resistance over here, only level 4 though. Pokemon has the advantage of having a game to play between the stops/gyms. I find Ingress a bit difficult as I have to either walk 2km to the park where there's a cluster of points, or travel into town. 1 hour ago, insanity said: I read up on Ingress, it actually sounds really badass.

I've been pretty lucky with my area that we have team meetups and plots that we hatch every now and again. And both sides are active here so it keeps things...interesting Quote The valiant never taste of death but once.

We had a bit of thunder roll through today, and all the teenage lifeguards put a lure on the pokestop by the neighborhood pool while the pool was required to be closed.

Ceasefire Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 My local PokeStop I have to get eerily close to the Church in my neighboorhood and look like a creeper. Work is on a hiking trail at one location and a fountain across the road at the other. Both are out of my range at work though. Probably a good thing...

Sarah Rose Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 Yay for the game coming to Canada!! Made my nightly walk so much fun! I live in the suburbs, and I didn't see one Pokestop. But a few gyms. I only made it to level 3 tonight because the Pokemon were pretty sparse. I work in the downtown core though so I'm holding out hope 1 Quote Link to comment

Mike_d85 Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 Man I feel like it's unfair that I walk through Boston Common as part of my commute. 4 gyms, dozens of pokestops, and so many people set lure modules that you're tripping over pokemon when you walk through. After work today I'm going to a spot where 2 pokestops intersect like a venn diagram. I've got 2 lure modules and if you set both and run incense you can see 5-6 pokemon at a time. I'll try and grab some screen shots so I can brag properly. 2 Quote My Battle Log I'm on Strava for my running now. Check out Kick! too. You unlock gear with your progress on Strava. Link to comment

iatetheyeti Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 Slowly, slowly inching my way up through the ranks. Levelled up to 7 on my walk home from work, but the thing crashed every single time I tried to catch an Eevee... Plus there seem to be a bucket load of Caterpies in this town, it's insane! Probably going to have to make a city trip for new work shoes soon, so I'm looking forward to seeing the differences.
