Belated Free-for-All!

Hello trainers!

I hope you're enjoying the double XP/stardust event and that, if you live in the US, you had a lovely Thanksgiving.

The current in-game event + Ditto + CP rebalancing seems to have stolen a lot of attention, so not much in the way of news. I did find this little piece about how PokeGo can be used to encourage interest in conservation efforts. I thought it was a nice change of pace from all the "POKEGO IS DESTROYING OUR PARKS!!" articles, which -- if you do enough digging -- a not-insignificant number seem to stem from affluent people freaking out over the riff-raff.

Since it's been a while, how are y'all doing? Enjoying the in-game event? Struggling to find a ditto? Mad about the CP rebalancing? Let's chat.

When I'm low on pokeballs, I pretty much look for a pokestop dense area and make a couple circuits to load up. I made a note of those places around me during the summer.

Ahh, I think I'll have to go into town for that kind of place. But hopefully I'll be able to hit more local stops soon, my goddamn ankle IS getting better, so!

I also managed to take a rival gym down from level 3 to level 1 today! Wasn't able to defeat the last defender, but since it was a vaporeon with ~2K CP more than my strongest pokémon, I feel okay about that. (I've ALMOST broken 700CP? Almost. Gotta do an evolving and levelling up part sometime soon, probably.)

That's some good gym battling - go team!
