My boy is really upset that friends/trading isn't enabled on child accounts frown All his friends at school are playing it - most on level 30 plus. I guess I should have created him a proper account and lied about his age, like you have to do on most other apps.
Same here - my boys can't even trade with each other. They were pretty annoyed when they found out. F@cking Niantic with dumbass implementation.

Eh? I thought I'd done it properly? Obviously I'm an idiot silly
Not an idiot. You had the genius idea, all geniuses are flawed in some way. Your failure is execution!

That's a bit harsh!

My 6 year old has been pestering me about this for a few weeks and i finally installed it on sunday.

he's hammered through 80 pokeballs so i need to get more from stops. I get this much.

what else should i be doing? a short walk into town and back has 4-5 stops and a gym ( whatever that does). I walk / run /cycle a bit so hatching eggs is covered but we dont seem to have many balls.

any tips / tricks advice?

I cycle round the village (about 15 pokestops) steadily to not trigger the driving warning, and spin the stops as I go. A couple of laps usually tops me up nicely. I get some when I walk the dog too.

I’m playing as Beanicat 1501 6646 1944. Have already added some of you. I’m currently on holiday in Asturias, Spain and collecting / sending as many gifts as I can find in rural Spain! Feel free to add me.

Edited to add - I have no clue how to update the Wiki if some kind person wants to do that for me!

Wondered where you were!!!

It’s quite fascinating getting details of far flung ‘stops!

Not really much more to it. You can get more balls by giving gifts, but I think you might need to level up a fair bit to access that.

Try and get some Pokemon in gyms, even for a short while, and get some coins to spend on a bag upgrade so that if you do go to big city, tourist spot etc. where there are loads of stops you can fill up.

Try to visit at least one Pokestop every day. The first one you visit each day gives bonus items, and each day up to 7 gives incrementally greater rewards. You still get them even if it will overfill your bag. Similarly, trap at least one Pokemon (for points) and do a Field Research task - they can give handy rewards and completing 7 gives you a pop at a boss Pokemon. The latter doesn't have to be done every day.

Wiki updated and friend request sent.

Looks like after 2 years playing I'll finally get a Snorlax or three. Field research in July to get Snorlax biggrin

I'm not sure, I was getting plenty of them this morning as I cycled round town.

The contents have been well nerfed, luckily I got up to nearly 400 blue balls and over 250 yellow balls before they shut it down...

I got a gift from every stop I went to yesterday on the way home, this morning I've had 1 from 15 but it was the same yesterday morning, think it's luck.

I've run out of gifts now, so please don't feel offended if you haven't had one yet today, I'm trying to get as many out each day as possible...

Does anyone know if the 100k XP for "Best Friend" is real?

Same here. I'm trying to dish out as fairly as possible. But I don't get to spin many stops in the week.

You don't need to win 10 raids, just complete them. So you do the same raid 2 or more times, but time out each time. Stick your Blisseys and Chanseys in, and then wait to run it again.
