don't necessarily listen to the appraisal phrases though? like, depending on the CP of your pokemon and how buffed your local gyms tend to be.
True, true. Your locale will determine whether you need to optimize to that level -- my extended East Bay neighborhood got plenty of Bay Area techies and University of Berkeley students, and these groups are hardcore. I've seen campus gyms stacked with 3,000+ mon, so I think I'm partially joining an arms race...and partially just hella competitive.
(Then again, I went west within the City of San Francisco, and in Cole Valley grabbing gyms was like taking candy from babies. :P)
