Pokemon Go

[Cav]

Well I missed out on the super incubators which would have been nice because I got 12 10km eggs in the equinox event. Wanted some 2km eggs because of Larvitar and Chansey.

Lucky eggs are good for getting XP and levelling though

[Kwacky]

I rarely use them. I will use them when Gen 3 arrives and I've got a few new pokemon around me. I need to use them when I'm doing raids but I always forget

[Cav]

Same here but apparently you only get 15k XP on a legendary raid and not 20k.. not sure if true though as I always forget too.

I'm quite excited about Gen 3, these are the games I spent most time playing. I really want a Treeko

[Kwacky]

I know nothing at all about Gen 3. I didn't play the games, only watched the first couple of TV series.

[Kwacky]

It took me about 20 minutes to collect the new ones

[Cav]

I don't think I have them all yet.. is it just the 1 that evolves?

[Kwacky]

Cav, I don't know if you're still playing but they've released Farfetch'd for a couple of days.

[Kwacky]

and Ho Oh was released last night for 14 days.

[Cav]

Yes still playing but not actively.. I just collect distance at my desk.

Not got a Raikou yet

Is Ho-Oh an exclusive or standard raid?

[Kwacky]

It's a standard 5 star legendary raid. Looks like you need 6 7 good players for it. My local raiding group are going for their first one now.

Raikou finishes soon, you'll need to be quick. They're easy to catch. Im 3 for 3.

[Cav]

Nice! Yeah I'll try and get one tonight/tomorrow. Gf really isn't fussed about it anymore but tends to just play out of habit.

When I know she isn't using her account I log in and get her distance in the hope that she hatches something good to then get her back into it. It's definitely not as fun as it has been

[Kwacky]

This last event was good with the double stardust.

The Harry Potter version is due for release soon. That should kill off this game.

[Cav]

Yeah most likely.. who's releasing the harry potter game?

[Kwacky]

The same people - Niantic

[Cav]

Why on earth would they shoot themselves in the foot?

[Kwacky]

Pokémon Go has pretty much peaked. I think we'll see the release of Gen3 and once that's been out there's not much more than can go with the game. Son release Gen 3, give it a couple of months then release the Harry Potter game. Makes good commercial sense to me.

[Cav]

You're right, I thought about it after I'd written that and it does make complete sense.

In the first 6 months there were hundreds of people I knew playing the game, still a lot after 1 year. There'll be a whole new market for the Harry Potter game as well as many of the Pokemon players so for another year they'll be making millions

[Kwacky]

Potter Go (or whatever they'll call it) will be massive, there are kids and adults who love the books and the films. I've read and seen none of them.

[Cav]

I'm an absolutely massive fan so will no doubt play the game but I've never spent real money on this game and I sure as hell won't on the potter game

[Kwacky]

Got an Ho-Oh. Took 2 attempts and hit it on the last ball. It's capture base rate is only 2%
