CNN contributor Corey Lewandowski is still being paid by his former employer, Donald Trump -- (link) - ty97 Jul 13, 07:11 2
- What.the.f**k. - Will Hunting Jul 13, 07:13
- That's a big black mark on CNN that they didn't disclose that. OTOH, it's not like there are any illusions of where his loyalties lie. -- nm - ÜMLaut Jul 13, 07:13
The new battleground state polls are a good reminder that just because Trump's a dumpster fire doesn't mean voters think Hillary is any better. -- (link) - ÜMLaut Jul 13, 06:59 18

  - Good thing nobody said they were the same except in being their party's least popular nominees in generations. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jul 13, 07:19 5

      - Were you slagging the voters captured in those polls? My apologies then. I thought you were speaking about ML. - Name Withheld by Request Jul 13, 07:24 3

        Jack, this is ridiculous. He posted polls. Showing that Trump is ahead in some swing states. Close in others. If you can't accept that, I just don't.. - Name Withheld by Request Jul 13, 07:37 1

- She is horrible and the only thing going for her is that her last name isn't Trump. -- nm - Bacon Jul 13, 07:04 7
  - She has some issues, but she is nowhere near as bad as Trump is -- nm - amoxy Jul 13, 07:09 3
    - after your comma is exactly my point. If she was running against a normal candidate, I wouldn't vote for her. -- nm - Bacon Jul 13, 07:10 1

  - How does the Kool-Aid taste these days? -- nm - Krusty Jul 13, 07:08 2
    - My fear, which seems to be growing, is that more and more people are buying the CrookedHillary line and the "Law and Order" Trump -- nm - amoxy Jul 13, 07:12 1
      - Yup. She has done some very good work for the American people over her career. He's Donald Trump. The same person we all mocked for the last 30 years. -- nm - Krusty Jul 13, 07:21
- And it feels like last week's events overshadowed what should have been a rough follow-up week for her on the emails/servers. -- nm* - Name Withheld by Request Jul 13, 07:02 2
  - I picture every GOP operative doing the Apu thing to Trump. "I can't believe you don't shut up!" - Will Hunting Jul 13, 07:11 1
    - Yep. When relatively neutral John Dickerson is on the Slate podcast just eviscerating her on the topic, you know it has potential sticking power. - Name Withheld by Request Jul 13, 07:15

It's perfectly normal that I want to think of an errand to run to capture some Pokemon, right? -- nm - ty97 Jul 13, 06:52 6

  - "Hello Police, there is some creepy guy driving around our neighborhood really slowly and randomly stopping in front of houses" -- nm - decline Jul 13, 07:10 1
    - My son said the cops were out at the pokestop by the watertower looking for people playing in their cars. I'm guessing that the Illinois restriction - oblique Jul 13, 07:12
- Today is my first day back to work since the game started and I drive all over for work. I have BIG PLANS to hit lot's of pokestops today, get tons - Bacon Jul 13, 06:55
- Duh. -- nm - mara Jul 13, 06:53
Ok, one other Go thing - we're all Team Valor, yes? And does that mean something? Like, can we all gang up on Team Mystic or something? -- nm* - Jim Jul 13, 06:52 8
- It doesn't matter at all AFAIK except locally because the team color determines your access to gyms -- nm - oblique Jul 13, 07:06 3
  - It doesn't matter yet. Once they allow trading? -- nm - Bacon Jul 13, 07:09 2
    - *shrug* I suppose if they limit cross team trading or something. My impression of trading was that it was in person, not regionally anways -- nm - oblique Jul 13, 07:11 1
      - Who knows. It will be exciting as this game evolves out over time -- nm - Bacon Jul 13, 07:12
- Tam Valor, although I think Ms. Jones went mystic or some such - decline Jul 13, 06:54 1
  - WHAT?? Traitor -- nm - Bacon Jul 13, 06:55
- There are a few that are something else, but I think the majority are pledged to Valor. -- nm - mara Jul 13, 06:54
- Ty and I are Valor that I know of and yes that is the plan -- nm - Bacon Jul 13, 06:53

So it appears I have captured 21 unique 'species' of Pokemon -- (edited) - ty97 Jul 13, 06:24 40

- 32 unique -- nm - decline Jul 13, 06:41
- My Pidgey just evolved into a Pidgeotoo, what?! -- nm - ty97 Jul 13, 06:40
- I have 10 since last night but I have no idea what I'm doing. -- nm - Krusty Jul 13, 06:33 1
  - I captured around 40 yesterday (lots of dupes) which was my first day. Same. No clue. -- nm - ty97 Jul 13, 06:35
- I'm going to go eat my lunch in the cafeteria where I can hit the Pokestop, activate a lure, and my lucky egg - oblique Jul 13, 06:30 29
  - I've got 2 lucky eggs now. I'm holding 5 weedle, 4 pidgey and a sprearow ready to evolve. I need to find 30 min and a place to put a lure -- nm* - decline Jul 13, 06:49
  - I haven't decide what the best evolve strategy is yet for me. -- nm - ty97 Jul 13, 06:31 27
    - Evolve everything :) - oblique Jul 13, 06:32 26
      - What XP trick? - ty97 Jul 13, 06:34 6

        summary inside - oblique Jul 13, 06:37 3 1
        
        What sorcery is this? -- nm - Bacon Jul 13, 06:44
        
        I'm fairly certain that this is English but I'll be damned if I understood more than 1/3 of it. -- nm - spamlet Jul 13, 06:43 1
        
        Let me put it into terms you will understand. - oblique Jul 13, 06:45
        
        He talked about it yesterday. If you get the lucky egg that doubles XP - you wait to evolve all your Pidgeys til then... - Jim Jul 13, 06:36
      - How do you evolve them? -- nm - Krusty Jul 13, 06:34 18
        
        The guy I talked to said Eevees are the best to evolve I guess. -- nm - Bacon Jul 13, 06:41 4
        
        Eevees are a perennial favorite of pokemon players from the games. They are generally quite powerful and evolve randomly into 1 of 4 (I think) things - oblique Jul 13, 06:46 2
        
        In the game it wasn't random. It was based on where you were in the region or item they held. Not sure if that transferred to Go. -- nm - Qale Jul 13, 07:04 1
        
        You are now our Pokemon Librarian. Be available at all times for historical Pokemon questions. -- nm - Bacon Jul 13, 07:05
        
        the jolteon is a badass, but I'm not sure It's got the highest CP -- nm - decline Jul 13, 06:42
        
        Click on the Pokemon. There is an Evolve slider if it is evolvable. It takes candy - oblique Jul 13, 06:35 12
        
        So you power them up and they evolve when you max it out? -- nm - Krusty Jul 13, 06:36 11
        
        No. Power up and Evolve are different. If you don't see Evolve under Power UP, then your Pokemon is already at it's highest evolutuion - oblique Jul 13, 06:38 5
        
        Thanks! I see it on some and not others. Should I ignore the ones that can't evolve? Are they worth powering up? -- nm - Krusty Jul 13, 06:41 4
        
        Once you hit the highest evolution, you want to power them up. it increases their CP -- nm - oblique Jul 13, 06:43 3
        
        Thanks. -- nm - Krusty Jul 13, 06:48
        
        Ok, so let's talk Pokegyms...what kind of CP am I looking at before I even have the slightest chance at a Gym? Do we know? -- nm* - Jim Jul 13, 06:46 1
        
        Depends on your area. For mine I'm seeing anywhere from 200-1000 but they are changing hands VERY quickly - oblique Jul 13, 06:47
        
        Nope. Powering Up and Evolving are 2 different things. When you look at your Pokemon's page... - Jim Jul 13, 06:37 4
        
        Okay, got it. Thanks, guys! -- nm* - Krusty Jul 13, 06:39
        
        My Pinsirs only have the Power Up option (I see evolve on some other types). What's the difference? -- nm - ty97 Jul 13, 06:38 2
        
        They are already at their highest evolution. Look in the Pokedex for each Pokemon and it will show you the evolution chain -- nm - oblique Jul 13, 06:39 1
        
        Do I want to power up a Pinsir then? -- nm - ty97 Jul 13, 06:54
- How many is there? -- nm - J Jul 13, 06:27 1
  - 151 I believe -- nm - ty97 Jul 13, 06:28
I just got more details on my DNA test (i ordered a different level), i always knew i was super-white - my Ethnic Makeup is "100% European" - Andie Jul 13, 06:21 16
