I’m sorry for such an asinine question, but is this game worth getting? It’s nothing like I’m used to, but I get into games very easily.

Well it's free so worth trying.

I find it a good escape from work life and makes me go for walks at lunchtime instead of eating at my desk and sitting all day. It's quite entertaining seeing a big group of people in suits in Canary Wharf gathering for a raid biggrin

I also have a great local community so that helps with the raids and social aspect. And yeah I sit on stops too at home/work so that makes the game much easier.

I really enjoy the game, I’ve made a lot of good friends from it now. I’d think if I was about to start out I’d wait for niantecs new game due out in the next couple months, Harry Potter wizards unite. From past experiences with ingress it’s very hard to play 2 geolocation games at a time.

I've played pretty much since the start. It's changed a lot over that time but I use it to motivate myself to get exercise; walked 13km last night to get the weekly rewards.

No worries. I'd only have a tiny window too. But let me know if you do get a chance. Who knows.
Hi, I got back from Amsterdam last night, and would have really struggled to meet you around the airport, and I was travelling with a small group too.

Lovely city though, will have to go back with some more time for a non-conference based trip.

Might be old news but I just found out that there are 2 new evolutions of Eevee.

Rename Eevee to Rea or Linnea and evolve for Glaceon and Leafeon respectively

Anyone still playing? I've finally bought an Apple Watch but can't seem to get the damn thing to sync with Go.

I think a few people from here have dropped off over the last month or two.

Quite looking forward to the next event, with 4x walking candy and a big bonus for 50km in a week.

I need to go back and add in active PH players, so we can do gifts, since so many have dried up.

Took me a while to get mine working too
It isn't just ticking the AdventureSync box in the PG settings
You have to enable the Pokemon App and the watch in the sources section of the health App on the associated iPhone

Hi Jim, cheers for the input. I’ve tried everything, it shows my character but just says level 1 and won’t show incubating eggs or distance. I’ll try again tomorrow.

I'll get caught up on gifts later today, I've been out of my normal dog walking routine for a few days.

Worth getting out and about at the moment. 4x candy for your buddies, Larvitars in 2km eggs, and the new dino guy in the "spin 25 pokestops" task.

Hope you're feeling better soon.

I spent the time shopping with a 4 year old, and then to keep the petrol-head strong, I dropped into the Ferrari showroom and they let him have a sit in a 488 spider. Which was nice.

There's a lot about it on Reddit saying there were very few spawns, comparatively.

Happened to me a few times - I think if you have problems logging in and get to the point where you have to logout or click "retry" - it might reset a couple of the settings (including Adventure Sync).

On my Android phone, I've managed to get it working reliably when I run on the treadmill too - which is useful for egg hatching (there are quite a few factors that can stop it from working indoors).

Last week, I managed the 50KM top reward quite easily.

Normally I get several shinies without much effort but I only got 2 in about 2 hours of play. They completely dried up by the end and at one point I was in our local big spawn point with 15 pokemon, none of which were Slakoth.

You're lucky friends with my "baby" account (Junjie) so give me a shout if you're around London and want a lucky trade!

I got 4 in about 45 minutes, youngest son got 6. And about 250 candy. Shiny Slaking looks rubbish though.
