Pokemon Go Kanto Event details. Starts at 4pm ET today - ty97 Apr 10, 08:08 24
- Double candy *may* be for Kanto only -- nm - ty97 Apr 10, 08:21 15
  - But I'm in Oregon! -- nm - Mop Apr 10, 08:53
  - Yeah - the announcement is vague on that. nm - Ash Apr 10, 08:22 13
    - The English version says 'all actions'. The Japanese and Chinese versions say 'catching and transferring' - ty97 Apr 10, 08:35
    - i am swimming in Anoriths. Blah. -- nm - Andie Apr 10, 08:26 11
      - Wow - crazy how different areas can be. nm - Ash Apr 10, 08:29 10
        
        I caught my first Lileep on the weekend. Bagon are somewhat rare but i've evolved all the way. Feebas, super rare. I only hatched too, i think. -- nm - Andie Apr 10, 08:30 9
        
        never seen: feeba, laleep, anorith. -- nm - amanda Apr 10, 09:11
        
        I need 20 more Bagon candy. I think I've only seen one in the wild. -- nm - Ash Apr 10, 08:40
        
        I have like 240 Feebas candy but don't think I have one good enough to evolve yet. -- nm - ty97 Apr 10, 08:35 6
        
        i have... 36. And that includes the candy i got by walking the required 20km. -- nm - Andie Apr 10, 08:38 5
        
        I haven't walked on yet. I've hatched a good number of them and caught a few by the Hudson. -- nm - ty97 Apr 10, 08:41 3
        
        i did the 20km when i hatched my first one. Just wanted it done. I didn't know it would take A MILLION YEARS to get more. -- nm - Andie Apr 10, 08:42 2
        
        do you need to walk the one you are going to evolve, or just walk any feebas? -- nm - ty97 Apr 10, 08:49 1
        
        Pretty sure the walking is linked to the specific Feebas. nm - Ash Apr 10, 08:50
        
        I have 63, also including the 20km. -- nm - Ash Apr 10, 08:39
- Dangit, I was just posting that. lol nm - Ash Apr 10, 08:11 7
  - does ANYONE have an Unown? -- nm - Andie Apr 10, 08:17 4
    - I have 1. nm - Ash Apr 10, 08:20 2
      - nice. -- nm - Andie Apr 10, 08:22 1
        
        It was like 11:15pm. nm - Ash Apr 10, 08:22
    - I do not. -- nm - ty97 Apr 10, 08:17
  - lots of speculation about regionals and new shinies, but no clue if any of that will happen. -- nm - ty97 Apr 10, 08:17
  - Wait - Unown isn't Kanto. So I take back...there's even less to be excited about. nm - Ash Apr 10, 08:14
Fortnite: Port-a-Fort coming soon. -- (link) - Shaun Apr 10, 08:04 43
- Need to put $1 in the comments jar. Gofundme for skins from a 15 yo followed by requisite "Get a job" comments -- nm* - just oblique Apr 10, 08:18
- That... actually interests me. The building is the part which has made the game a pass. -- nm - Spawn Apr 10, 08:13 41
  - I mostly like playing with J and groiny. You should join. I mean, it's free. - JaxSean Apr 10, 08:16 20
    - The building would frustrate me too much. All kidding aside, I don't enjoy games I suck at. But if that does what it promises? -- nm - Spawn Apr 10, 08:22 19
      - it is not Halo or Destiny. You can't really wing it and run off half cocked. - groiny Apr 10, 09:00 10
        
        Describe a match for me...how many people, how long does it take down to 1 winner? -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 10, 09:03 9
        
        100 people, not sure of total time to get to 1 but I'd guess up to 20-25 minutes -- nm - J Apr 10, 09:05 1
        
        it does not really seem like it though, because you are constantly searching for materials and better weapons or shields. - groiny Apr 10, 09:06
        
        solo games, are 100 people, a match at most will take 15 minutes. - groiny Apr 10, 09:04 6
        
        And let's say you suck and are out in the first minute -- do you have to then wait until the game ends to get into another? -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 10, 09:06 5
        
        and you will probably suck for the first week you play. - groiny Apr 10, 09:08 2
        
        Yeah, i'm not likely going to start -- I got my two games (Minecraft and Rocket League) - Will Hunting Apr 10, 09:10 1
        
        you should ditch Minecraft and move into 2018 - groiny Apr 10, 09:11
        
        nope, if you are playing solo, you can drop out once killed and go onto a new game, if you are playing in a team - groiny Apr 10, 09:07
        
        Nope, go back to the lobby and search again. Games happen quick with no real wait time -- nm - J Apr 10, 09:07
      - I don't really build. Like, at all. - JaxSean Apr 10, 08:24 7
        
        a key to winning fights is to have high ground, similar to real fighting. - groiny Apr 10, 08:26 6
        
        This is true but... - J Apr 10, 08:50 3
        
        I would bet 75% of your deaths where you do not kill yourself by falling off a moountain, is where someone - groiny Apr 10, 08:52 2
        
        I can honestly say I've never fallen from a moountain - J Apr 10, 09:01 1
        
        you just did LAST NIGHT!!!!! - groiny Apr 10, 09:03
        
        just give up Anakin! I have the high ground! -- nm - Obi Wan Apr 10, 08:27 1
        
        You beat me to it. -- nm - Spawn Apr 10, 08:27
  - This item could be a game changer for me as well. I can knock out top 10s fairly regularly, but building is still fairly foreign to me... - Shaun Apr 10, 08:15 19
    - me too. I'm not quick enough at it. This could be interesting to instantly throw up a pre-built fort. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 10, 08:17 18
      - I also can't snipe worth a damn, which doesn't help in some situations. -- nm - Shaun Apr 10, 08:19 17
        
        I'm best at staying alive by not engaging thus far. - JaxSean Apr 10, 08:22 16
        
        I'm best with the guns I can just hold down the trigger, so assault rifles and smgs work really well for me. - Shaun Apr 10, 08:27 4
        
        once you get down to lat 10 or so, you kind of have to build, or at least get on top of high things -- nm - groiny Apr 10, 08:31 2
        
        Or just hide. But at the last 5 or so, building does come into play. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 10, 08:34
        
        It definitely increases your chances of winning. -- nm - Shaun Apr 10, 08:33
        
        Same here. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 10, 08:30
        
        As big as that fort is, I’d think they are going to be pretty rare. -- nm - Volnelk Apr 10, 08:23 10
        
        it would take like 10 seconds to build a 3 tier staircase to get to the top of it - groiny Apr 10, 08:32 8
        
        How good are the grenades? I never use them and will always dump them for any gun. -- nm - Shaun Apr 10, 08:34 7
        
        in certain instances, they are useful, I recorded a clip - groiny Apr 10, 08:39 6
        
        i played a game over the weekend where I got a dance grenade. I sneaked up to a fort, and threw it in. - Truman Apr 10, 08:46 4
        
        a guy wiped out Jax and I last night with a dance grenade -- nm - groiny Apr 10, 08:48 3
        
        I was sad that every time I got online over the weekend - Truman Apr 10, 08:48 2
        
        it would be great to get an actual 4 man squad in game together -- nm - groiny Apr 10, 08:57
        
        yeah, I was at conventions all weekend, so I did not get much gaming in - groiny Apr 10, 08:49
        
        Heh, nice. -- nm - Shaun Apr 10, 08:40
        
        I am thinking/hoping there would be different versions available. -- nm - Spawn Apr 10, 08:26
Bolton pushed Bossert out - Bossert had no idea until he was kicked out of the WH this morning -- nm - decline Apr 10, 07:58 2
- I don't buy that at all. That is just cover. Bossert wanted out of this sinking ship nightmare. -- nm - Jovian Apr 10, 08:18
- (this is fine) -- nm - mud Apr 10, 08:02
Florida Marlins somehow looking even worse than before... -- (link) - Beaker Apr 10, 07:58 1
- Is there something about the franchise that turns you into an epically corrupt douche, or... -- nm - Reagen Apr 10, 08:08
Need to vent: I just learned that we lost our softball field for the summer - Guigue Apr 10, 07:57 5
- Did you look between the seat cushions? - pmb Apr 10, 08:02 1
  - Thanks for the laugh, I'm hyperventilating a little less :) -- nm - Guigue Apr 10, 08:04
- if you build it, they will come -- nm - decline Apr 10, 07:58
- ohhhh, that sucks. -- nm - Andie Apr 10, 07:58 1
  - I'm now involved in municipal politics to try and get things changed. FML -- nm - Guigue Apr 10, 08:04
I don't want to go home - the temperature is less than half what it is here - 32 vs. mid-70's today as I get my first look at the Grand Canyon! - JenBro Apr 10, 07:53 6
- North or South Rim? -- nm - Covington Apr 10, 07:55 5
  - It's gotta be North I'm thinking - we stayed last night at the Cameron trading post - the night before at la posada in Winslow and tonight we're in - JenBro Apr 10, 08:11 4
    - There's a logging road (or used to be 30 years ago) off the road out of the canyon in the Kaibab Nat'l Forest. If you go to the end you'll be looking - Covington Apr 10, 08:15 3
      - So I was wrong, Meg says it's South! Heh heh -- nm - JenBro Apr 10, 09:25 2
        
        You'll have to go back for the North. -- nm - Covington Apr 10, 09:44 1
        
        Indeed! -- nm - JenBro Apr 10, 10:07
Congrats to our Dr. James Bond on his marriage!! -- nm - Meg Apr 10, 07:48 14
- whoo hoo -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 10, 19:30
- indeed -- nm - crash davis Apr 10, 08:51

- Aww thank you everyone. :) -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Apr 10, 08:36 1
  - Wow. Congrats. -- nm - pmb Apr 10, 08:49
- Woo! -- nm - JenBro Apr 10, 08:12
- Congratulations! - Covington Apr 10, 07:56 2
  - Wait 'til they start telling you about all the free time you'll have now you're retired. -- nm - Meg Apr 10, 08:11 1
    - Rule #1 learned from Meg - never volunteer. :) -- nm - Covington Apr 10, 08:17
- very nice! -- nm - Remlik Apr 10, 07:55
- Don Homer! -- nm - Beaker Apr 10, 07:53

- woooo ! Congrats indeed! -- nm - Andie Apr 10, 07:49
Seriously -- the link I posted last night, not a person's talking about it - Will Hunting Apr 10, 07:45 12
- Are we still pretending stuff like this matters? -- nm - znufrii Apr 10, 08:59
- If Ryan and McConnell don't care, it doesn't matter what I think. -- nm - mara Apr 10, 08:12
- The corruption that runs through this administration is on a scale so huge relative to history and expectations that it is overwhelming people's - pmb Apr 10, 08:01 6
  - prediction -- (link) - decline Apr 10, 08:13 [Backboard] 1
    - Heh -- (link) - Reagen Apr 10, 08:24 [Backboard]
  - Hard to believe that history may end up saying that Jeff Sessions is the man that saved the country. -- nm - Spawn Apr 10, 08:09 1
    - Any history that says that would be off-base. To the extent he did, it's only because he was caught in his own lies so many times he was forced to - pmb Apr 10, 08:17
  - This is in part why the Parkland kids have been so effective - Reagen Apr 10, 08:05 1
    - And that is the right tack for a lot of it. Reason and thoughtful discourse will be ineffective and give some measure of legitimacy to their opponent - TWuG Apr 10, 08:20
- But I mean, Hilary Clinton once talked to a Nobel prize winner. It's the same thing, really -- nm - Reagen Apr 10, 07:49
- It's all Michael Cohen's fault -- nm - decline Apr 10, 07:49
- I read about it yesterday morning, I think, but the news cycle is just flooded right now. -- nm - ty97 Apr 10, 07:48
Also – the chant the Wakandans are making in the Infinity War commercial I watched a few times last night is “Yibambe”. - Diva Apr 10, 07:35 3

- Yeah I looked that up - eag Apr 10, 08:12 1
  - thanks for the link to the commercial - otherwise I would not have seen it. -- nm - Epiphany Apr 10, 08:59
