We solved the rural problem by making a shitton of Ingress portals which turn into Pokestops and gyms. Since I've lived here we went from nothing but two misplaced "Starbucks" Pokestops to three gyms and a spread of around 10 Pokestops around them.
Same though I live in the suburbs. We now have about 12 gyms and 20 stops that, if you're driving, is about a 5-6 minutes loop.
You'd need to play Ingress to add new stops/gyms in places that don't accept pokestop nominations.
I wonder if that'd make it easier or harder to get to the required level to submit stuff lol
You can't in the US either, but here we are, playing a different game in order to better our experience in another game.
Trying out the potter game and there's a lot more engaging stuff to do solo, but its pokemon go's cashgrab dialed up. Imagine the pokeball inventory being just for pokeballs, there being fewer stops, and each stop usually gives 1 ball. Also this ball cap starts at 40, and when it runs out, it'll popup an impulse buy of more energy.
I don't see a community day working when you have such a harsh limit.

Most impressions I see of the game are that it might be fun to mess around with from time to time but it's not a replacement for Pokemon Go.
And it has an annoying bug, where if you hit the flee button just a little bit off to the side, it'll prompt you to buy more energy and if you're just clicking through you might waste your hard earned gold on stupid energy. GRRR, still mad.
Energy system sucks tbh, it's a dealbreaker for me.
Niantic have announced the next Pokémon GO detials. First, from July 1st at 20:00 UTC to September 1st at 20:00 UTC, Latias, Latios, Kyogre, and Groudon will be the Research Breakthrough rewards. In addition to that, a new Spinda form will hit in Field Research, with there being a chance of Shiny Spinda from then on
In addition to that, EX Raids from passes obtained after June 23rd 15:00 UTC will be for EX Raids to obtain Speed Forme Deoxys

Uggh I'm real sick of Lati@s, they're the new dogs for me. Thankfully managed to get my first (perfect even) Lugia before the month is up.
Also shiny Spinda sounds like a nightmare to try and get. Better be like 1/5 odds.

Yeah Latios has been a real pain in my ass. I have a chance at 4 more breakthroughs (between 2 accounts) before Lugia and Ho-oh are out, hopefully one can either be shiny or 100 IV.
1/60 odds for shiny Spinda would make the most sense.
That way anyone doing 3 quests a day would have a 95% chance of getting one by the end of the 2 month period.

I'm also a little confused at why they'd put Kyogre and Groudon in breakthroughs now when Groudon will still be a raid boss.
i bet they bring the birds or Lugia/Ho-Oh back as raid bosses after Groudon is done at the rate they're going.

If you're from Brazil, there was just an event there a few months ago in Porto Alegre. So there's definitely a fair amount of players around the country I'd imagine. Best to see if there's a local discord server you can join so you can at least do some raids.
Not only does my baby account have a shiny Kyogre (which my main doesn't) but it now has better IV (15 attack) Kyogres as well. In fact I spent whatever dust and candy I had to power one up.
I have 600 Rare Candy waiting to power up a few 15 attack IV ones on my main.
Damn you Niantic!

Thanks! Joined a community, but seems to be quite inactive. No biggy. Really appreciate the link to that site, though, seems quite a useful center of information. Also, is there an ERA discord or no?

Did a little look at my recent shiny trades in last 5 months. Spent like 1,440,000 stardust on about 18 new shiny trades.
If literally noone plays Ingress in your area, don't bother playing the game unless you're willing to travel. Unlike PoGo, Ingress really requires the participation of the opposite team. You gain AP (Their XP) from claiming Portals, making links & fields and more so from taking down enemy portals. While an empty set of Portals will help you out, you will need wait a few days for them to die out (they lose motivation over time and once dead, they actually die). So it's much better to play in enemy area in regards to AP gain. For example, near me is mostly my team, good for refilling on items, but not so much in terms of doing anything else. Luckily my work area is a battle ground.
Nice! I've now added nearly 95 new pokestops since I started playing Ingress. I've lost count on how many gyms are directly responsible from me. lol. I live in the suburbs of Atlanta (Roswell), and these suburbs and directly touching suburb cities are quite big, so it was always pretty good with stops/gyms already. I actually now have a pokestop in my own neighborhood actually, might 1 day become a gym! lol
Well, most likely your area has local Ingress players, just they don't play PoGo. I bet if you go on the Ingress intercoms Chat, you could ask if anyone would be willing to help add things (obviously if you do this, have a decent list of what could be added).

Really starting to despise Kyogre now.
It's one of my favourite legendaries but after about 25 odd raids, only catching 4 of them and no shinies I never want to see his stupid toothy face again (Unless it's pink)

I'm at 35 without, for someone else I know it took them 46 raids til they got one. Record in my group is 52 tries til shiny Groudon. But if you've only caught 4/25 you need to be more patient with your throws because even with 12 balls or so you should be able to catch most of them. He is one of the hardest ones to catch though. When I got back into the game he was one of my first bosses and I got below 50% catch rate. But this time around I've only let one run.
Charjabug!
He eventually evolves into this:
Which is also cool, but I like his earlier stage better.
Haven't done any raids today but the raid group isn't exactly active right now which kinda sucks.
I was wondering, does something like a permanent nest exist? There's a park in my city that has the same Pokémon spawning in it forever. When there isn't an event there's a mix of Bellsprout, Alolan Geodude, Gulpin, Surskit, Barboach and Shellder. Usually with parks the nesting Pokémon changes every rotation but here it's always been the same. Or maybe it's not seen as a real park and it's calculated to always have those Pokémon spawning.. It's a shame because it's the best farming spot in the city, but the spawns never change if there's no event.
When there's no event that spot is boring because only Shellder of those spawns can be shiny... And I'm at 700+ checks without one lol

Aren't those just biome spawns? My neighbourhood gets some similarly boring spawns when there isn't an event going on and it sucks. This double candy reward week is a dud.
0/55 on shiny Kyogre now.
On the bright side, I traded with someone who went to Go Fest and had a makeup day yesterday so I have a Pachirisu from Chicago and one from San Francisco now. The San Francisco one being a lucky one. We also did 5 trades and got 3 luckies in a row. So I also have a 98% lucky Lucario from it too.

Now that WU has been released I hope Niantic goes back to making Go their priority and gives us a new feature there has been nothing for this quarter
