PokeVenting #2

[upanddisappear]

Today was supposed to be MY poke day, the best day I'd have to walk walk walk those eggs for the extra xp. But HEATWAVE!

How is the event going for everyone?

Yeah, too dang hot and humid around here - I've been going out walking in the evening after dinner but I *still* get sticky from the humidity.

Fortunately I've gotten most of what I wanted from the event, including saving up a bunch of extra Swinub candy for the eventual further evo in Gen4. Could still use a few more Sneasel for its Gen4 though, and of course hatching more eggs at 5x XP would sure be nice.

Also OMG @ people collecting 100 coins/day from gyms, that sounds so luxurious. It's a good day for me if I can get 20 or 30, and that all goes straight back out to incubators. Collected for today, I suppose I'll see if I can be on a few at the end of the night and collect in the morning if they haven't gone offline yet. Latest word on that is "probably sometime during PDT work hours" so who knows.

I have too, really, so I have nothing to complain about. I just wanted all that extra xp to help me get closer to 30. I caught all the swinub and sneasel I could.

Oh, I just recently started to get 100 coins per day more-or-less reliably, and I had worked so hard for it for months... leveling up high-level gyms at every opportunity, and retaking the competitors' gyms until they gave up on them. (And I still have to make rounds every day, to retake 3-4 neighborhood gyms which frequently change ownership.) I play alone, so I don't have the benefit of teamwork.

But I understand that most of the gyms are stagnating, and newer players also need a chance, it's only fair. Oh well..

Heh, fair enough! If you're putting in that much work you deserve the rewards. I've only got a couple gyms close by that I can take reliably, and while there's a cluster of several more in town nearby, more often than not they're all Lv9+ Mystic, and no way to I have time to take those down by myself. If I'm lucky I may happen by a few others slightly more out of the way that are often take-able (or prestige-able if they happen to be my team) but of course they require driving, and they usually still turn back over in a day or two.
