I'm considering starting up an Ingress account, just so I can go to the same places and when people try to talk to me about Pokeymans, I can just rebuff them with "I'm sorry, I'm playing the grown-up version".

Ingress is a decent game.
I got really into it for about a year.

Pokevision has gone down. Apparently Niantic has blocked all third party access to their servers to stop Pokemon finder services on the same day they've pulled the footsteps feature that was broken anyway. There's now to way to track down a Pokemon.
It's a game of pure luck now.

Edit: they've also decided to pull the low power mode too, so hatching a 10km egg will take about 3 full battery charges.

Oh how lovely!

I am relying out wifi while I am on holiday and there are two pokestops right outside my hotel. Get in! Also I evolved an Eevee into a Jolteon after naming it Sparky.

Battery saver still works on Android, it's been pulled on Ios due to stability issues.

Looking for Pokemon is total guesswork now, in fact I found myself not even looking anymore, just passively had the app open while walking around - no motivation to find anything decent because it just isn't possible.

If nothing else it's making the habit easy to kick Thumbs Up

Maybe they're actually trying to lighten the load on their servers?

On Friday I finally caught enough Magikarps to evolve to a Gyarados.

That was a big achievement I felt.

I still only have about 160 candies.

My biggest achievement is sticking a pokemon on a gym last Thursday and it's still there.

That is good! Around here they last like 20 mins - no matter what Pokemon you put on it. Gyms battles are weighted too much on the attack vs prestige and defence.

I take gyms down and leave karps behind just for giggles.

magikarps spawn a lot near me.

Earlier today my free coin timer was about to refresh so I thought I'd go take a gym and double my winnings.
Took one halfway between my house and the nearest Asda, claimed coins, drove off. Got to Asda less than five minutes later and I'd already been booted off. Might as well have left a Magikarp!

I think the novelty will wear off fairly quickly.. It has for me if I'm honest.

As mentioned, gyms are basically pointless, as it's impossible to properly defend them. I'm level 19 now, and have been for about 2 weeks, it's so slow to level now, rarely see anything new...

I had an update today and battery saver mode is back plus the nearby Pokemon now have grass behind them. I levelled up and took a gym whilst sipping a hipster drink in Starbucks earlier Thumbs Up

Self and Master Borg lasted a weekend before decrying it as a:

Diverting enough if you're already out and about somewhere, but you can only do the rounds of the the local dogging spots so many times before it's same-old-same-old.

I'm still playing. About to go for a nice afternoon walk around my local reservoir to catch a few magikarp.

I'm still playing too but not making much progress due to living in the arse end of nowhere. I went for a 7 mile walk and hatched all of my eggs though. Good times.

I just hatched a Magikarp (yay candies) and a Caterpie. Trying to get shut of all my 2km eggs to make space for stuff worth having.

This is true enough, you find your local haunting grounds where the best spawns are and go there a lot - becomes same old same old...

however, the group of people who have congregated in the area for the last few weeks we all are on a shared whats app and are arranging trips to other nearby towns (like Brighton) to get some variation in.
