I'm heading over for the Sunday, I've never been to Liverpool before so I'm looking forward to walking round one particular park for 6 hours glues to my phone

Are you doing early access, if so then enjoy 8 hours of the same park!

We are going down the day before for a night in the city first.

Sefton park is pretty nice, spent a few hours walking around there last year!

[grassomaniac]

Yeah I looked at it on Google Earth and it does look nice. I’m a member of a discord for people local to me and most of us are heading up on Saturday so it should be a good social gathering, I don’t play as much now and it’s the social aspect I enjoy the most.

I wasn’t impressed with the hidden tax or service charge and they are getting loads of angry messages on social media (I wouldn’t fancy working in their PR department right now!) but hopefully it’ll lead to some goodies for us if they have to address the hidden charges, which is looking likely.

ASA seem happy they have fixed their advertising, I’m not sure anything else will come from it now.

[grassomaniac]

Oh have they fixed it? Haven't looked since last night. IMO they may have gotten off lightly there then.

St Louis US event was cancelled. Suspect Liverpool will go same way.

Abra community day has been cancelled, Not much of a shame anyway. Who needs bloody Abras?!

Heresy!

Community day move could have made it a beast again!

Don’t forget to claim your 30 incense for one pokecoin compensation. I’ve used a couple today and noticed they were lasting for an hour rather than 30 mins. Also egg walking distance has been halved too.

I only caught and hatched a load of rubbish mind ....

they have also increased what they spawn, its normally 1 per 5 minutes, its currently 1 per minute!

Yeah almost certainly I would have thought.
But if they do what they did for St Louis, i.e. people who bought a ticket get spawns wherever they are, then I'd quite happily play the event while self isolating at home

And it's cancelled!

Fortunately I had 2 nights booked for 4 of us on hotel points, so fully refundable even before the crisis.

Someone has added a pokestop within reach of our house.

Whoop, never out of balls again

There's a new playpark just opposite my house and I keep meaning to propose a new stop there. Would be very handy!

Playpark is pretty much a guarantee of acceptance (As long as there is nothing else too near)

Only thing stopping me is that middle-aged men taking photos of playgrounds could be...misinterpreted

[Zad]

This is the problem I have / had. It makes you feel very uncomfortable! Fortunately, the one nearest to me is close enough that if I leave my tablet on, the GPS wanders around just enough that now and then my avatar wanders within range of the play area and the community garden. Strangely, sometimes he runs towards the pub, hangs around for a minute then runs back! Not spoofing, just poor GPS!

True 😂it’s not stopped me I’m at 110 successful submissions, but I do Make sure the park is empty!

Not difficult; they’re all closed and barriered-off at the moment! Won’t make for a good photo though, I’ll need to wait until the restrictions are lifted.

Today's the event for those of use who should have been in Liverpool.

Caught shiny Tentacools, Mudkip, Wailmer, Chinchou... seen shiny Arinth, psyducks caught by others.
