Pokemon Go

So, do you just pick one (how?) and send it to the gym? Then you can go away and leave it while it... works out?

You have to defeat the person who is already at the gym. If it's another team, you have to defeat all their pokemon - there can be up to 5. If you take a gym over, chances are that you've used all your decent pokemon in the battle to acquire it and may not keep it long. If you join a gym that's already on your team, it's a bit easier, especially if there's only one other person defending it. Each gym can hold pokemon from up to 5 different trainers I think.

There's not much point in battling pokemon who are stronger than you but you do gain XP I think

I may stick a low CP Drowsie in our local gym and watch the fucker get battered. I hate Drowsies.

Me too! Got loads and loads, and was starting to feel it was a comment on my figure/lack of racing about but it turns out they are hypno-pokemons so... well, whatever I guess :D Did evolve one into a Hypno (?) but it's not very inspiring.

Just to add to this, you choose 6 of your pokemon to go into battle with, and you work your way through the defenders one by one so it doesn't matter if the defenders have stronger CP because you can use 2 or more of yours to defeat theirs.
If you defeat all of their pokemon, the gym will drop a level so there'll be one less defender there. You keep working your way through until they have none left and then you can put your own pokemon in. If you don't defeat them all, they lose some prestige so may drop a level. You gain XP whatever.
One pokemon per trainer so helps if you have mates and can drop a few in.

If your team has a gym then there may be a spare slot you can drop one of your pokemon in to help defend it and you can train there which builds up prestige so you can put more pokemon in.

iirc I read somewhere if you hold a gym for 20 hours you get some pokecoins but lol I've never managed more than a few hours although there doesn't seem to be any record of what happens so no way of knowing when I've had one kicked out overnight how long they were in for.
In any case I've given up hope of earning pokecoins by holding a gym for ages and cba with them at all anymore except I'll drop one of mine in to a yellow gym with a spare slot if I'm passing.

I thought you got pokecoins just for owning a gym but extra ones if it's more than 20 hours?
 
Every 20 hours you can hit the shield symbol in the top right of the shop. At this moment you get ten coins and 500 stardust for every gym you are in. So to get more coins you can go around at 3am attacking and putting yourself in loads of gyms and then once done, hit the shield to collect your bonuses before people wake up and start kicking you out of them.

fwiw the weekend update seems to have smoothed things out a bit. Haven't had a single crash today :)

It's been horrendous for me today.

There was a new one outside my house this afternoon and I caught it and it froze. When I restarted the fucking thing had gone but it's showing on my pokédex as seen but not caught :mad:

How do I know if there's a spare slot in a gym, and how do I leave one of my critters there?
Click to expand...

under the name of the gym there is a crown and some dots, if one of those dots is grey/black rather than white you can put a pokemon there. Alternatively, 1 pokemon per gym level and see how many are already there.

If you can leave a pokemon there, there's a button that shows in the bottom left, can't remember if this is greyed out or just missing if all the slots are taken.

If you train at the gym you can increase the prestige, can't remember how much by, and that can open up a new slot for you.
 
Thousands of people are demanding Pokemon Go refunds

^^^ claiming refunds for IAPs after updates "broke" the game.

Tbh, any app purchase can be refunded. But it turns Apple into a total twat for several months if you try to buy any more apps (have to navigate a new pop up before every purchase, explicitly giving up your right to a refund if you actually download your new purchase).

Probably not such an irritation for anyone who doesn't DL two or three apps a week.

People are idiots.
 
We started playing it in Brussels. PoGo is a great way to get a teenager interested in new cities. :) Got 88 Pokemon from there (and Luxembourg), probably about half of which are pidgies and ratatas.
