Huh?
The whole "augmented reality" thing is almost fun, but mostly annoying. It was interesting chasing a Pikachu through the office, but it kept going into locked rooms or outside through the walls.
Is there anything to do after Level 40?
I've been noodling around and I'm not totally bored, especially with the "research" quests. I just got my first gold gym and was excited when I got a butt ton of goodies from it, but it turns out that's mostly due to double rewards at gyms during a special event.
But I'm also not walking around for 4 hours in the middle of the night any more. In part, that's just because I've been to every walkable landmark in every direction from my place, but also because I'm no longer finding new species.
I just did a mass evolve under a Lucky Egg where I picked up about 30 new species I'd been sitting on, but I don't think I'll be able to do that again any time soon.
I have at least bronze in every medal, so that's a thing.
I finally got a wondrous Jigglypuff and I'm quite disappointed with how weak Wigglytuffs are. Early on, I evolved a really nice Venomoth, but I can dump meth and angel dust into that thing all night and it's still not going to be as strong some dopey thing with crappy genes that I pick randomly up on the side of the road with no training or feeding.
On the other hand, it hardly matters how strong your Pokemon are, or really even what moves they have. Is there any plan to make any of this meaningful?

No! It's only to keep the kids distracted for a couple of years, walk outside for once so Mom and Dad can get laid every once in a while; also sell ads to small retail outlets.
I think the big life ender coming will be MMO pokemon on the nintendo switch. I think I'll start heroin before I ever taste that because being able to hustle pubescent noobs in 6v6 via voice chat using a team of Red/Blue classics gives me a boner and I think that potentially qualifies me as a sex offender.

Pound + HyperBeam Wigglytuff was godly early on in the game. Then it got nerfed to hell.
After hitting Level 40, all you can do is push the goal posts.
A lot of people I play with are at or near 100 Million XP.
Shiny hunting has kept me going.

Back in the old gym system, since I could never seem to evolve a decent Fighting type, I used multiple Pound/Hyperbeam Wigglies (plus one with Play Rough) with 1400-1600 CP to prestige against Snorlax.
I still keep them around, but haven't been able to find a good use for them anymore.

Wigglytuff goes in pink gyms. And then gets depressed when the 6th drop is a fucking Rhydon.

I've seen this exact phenomenon happening around here. Some team's got a nice theme going and then some turd a drops in a Rhydon and ruins the whole thing.
Is the Rhydon famous for being a combo breaker?

I'm not sure why someone would drop a Rhydon in a pink-themed gym, but if I saw a friendly gym with a bunch of Pokemon weak to Electric or Fire, I would probably leave one to make it harder to sweep through them.
More commonly, I'll leave a Xatu or Scyther in gyms with multiple defenders weak to Fighting (Blissey, Snorlax, Slaking, etc).

I got me a bunch of Heatlamps today.
The lack of a game seems to actually make it a better game. If you had to concentrate too hard, you might as well sit inside. But paying just enough attention to wander into traffic if you aren't careful seems to be the sweet spot for getting you out of the house, and interacting with other humans if you want to take down a big spud.
I kept complaining about it not being much of a game, but it sure hasn't stopped me from picking it up every day. I am probably cutting the lifetime of my phone battery in half by burning it down with all these unnecessary polygons.

They finally added a Fairy-type fast move (Charm).
Wigglytuff is pretty good in Great Cup now.

It turns out I only have 4 genetically perfect Pokemon (they finally added decent evaluation and search capability!), and one of them is a Wigglytuff I'd already maxed out.
Now he knows 3 Fairy moves is ready to meet any Dragonite in a dark alley for a nonconsensual beatdown.
Oh, and one of my other perfects is that thing that can evolve into a Hitmonlee. I wonder if there's a way to make choose Lee.
Also even after catching over 200 Koffings, they are all terrible. Just like when played Pokemon Blue.
I don't know what this Team Rocket stuff is about yet.

That is awesome about the hundo Wiggly!
I've collected quite a few perfects; my most used are Machamp (Counter/Dynamic Punch, for beating down Blissey in gyms) and Gengar (Lick/Shadow Ball, for maximum DPS against Mewtwo and other Psychics in raids).
Just for fun, I keep a 100% Fearow and a 0% Spearow.
Tyrogue evolves into Hitmonlee if its attack IV/gene is the highest. (High defense = Chan, high HP = Top.) If there's a tie, then it's random.
I'm enjoying the Team Rocket battles -- much more challenging than the team leader PvP bots. I got my silver medal against them last night.
Watch for if they ever put Koffing into the rotation of shadow Pokemon you can rescue from TR, because purifying them boosts all their IVs by +2, so it gives you a better chance of getting a good one. I scored a perfect Crobat that way.
Send me a friend invite -- once we get to Ultra level we can do remote PvP. 3407 8063 4082
