    Am finding quite a few Clefairy near the Mational Basketball Arena just off the M50 in Tallaght over the last week.
    On sightings in that area every day.

    Is this game dying already? I was in Dublin city centre during the week and the place is usually hopping with lure modules, i think I only seen 2 this time

    Well it wouldn't surprise me. There was a bunch of talk of a huge drop off in players a while back. I'm still playing but I have to admit, I don't think I have ever played a game this light and unfinished feeling for this long. The buddy system is great and all, but I look at other free phone games I have played over the years and I think about some huge patches they put out filled with new stuff, almost every month or so and it was exciting. Then I look at this game, which has been a huge money spinner and yet it feels like there is just one ol' fella hunting and pecking away at a keyboard in the niantic offices.

    But then again it was a miserable old day weather wise so maybe thats a factor. I actually saw a lure up the road from me which is rare. It was in a pub, so someone was still getting some catching in while staying out of the rain.

    Apparently Niantic have less than 100 employees.

    ESB building on Fitzwilliam St, Dublin is where I've gotten loads of high IV drowzees at around 15 past the hour. Just in case anybody needed another drowzee...

    Interesting article on wired about pokemon go

    Some people speculate that Mew and Mewtwo will be common in Guyana.

    "some people"?
    1)This theory being based on what exactly?
    2)As above, how does this actually help members here?
    3) You do know those 2 pokemon (among others) aren't in the game yet?

    Does anyone know of a reliable spot to get some ekans?

    The regular games say they're from Guyana.

    That makes a lot more sense that just saying 'people'. I never played previous Pokemon games so am not familiar with the lore.
    Still not a great help to players from outside Central/South America however.

    Yeah, caught my only 2 on Bull Island, really good IV too, something like 97%


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,034 ✭✭✭✭It wasn't me!


    Have Stephen's Green and Merrion Square gone very dead lately? Where's useful in the city centre these days?

    Was up at bull island last night. Very disappointing. Used a lure and all. Best I got was 1 dratini. Altho did catch a few Abra which was good for candy. Is it losing its magic a bit??

    Was that on the bridge end or the causeway road end? I'm gonna go to the botanical gardens tomorrow as I heard that's a good spot, will report back if I see anything decent

    Back at bull island this morning. Place has defo lost its magic. Went out the wooden bridge and all but nothing special. But caught my first tangela on the way back into town so not a wasted trip.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 132 ✭✭Huntelaar


    Anyone any tips on where to come across a Tangela, Chansey, Lickitung, Aerodactyl or Snorlax? They're all I'm missing but can't seem to hatch them from eggs :(

    I was heading back towards town from bull island. Can't remember exactly where mate. Along the coast road in Clontarf??

    I was in the botanical gardens earlier and I have to say it was really bad there, definitely a wasted trip. Headed to causeway road after, caught a few really strong ponyta, just need 1 more now to evolve. I also caught a grimer, first time I've ever seen one so was happy with that. I woulda spent more time there but the weather wasn't kind today. All things considered, it seems to be harder to get more variety now. Which is not surprising since I passed 100 in the pokedex today.

    Was at the causeway this morning and wasn't anything even remotely as exciting as a Grimer. Last couple of times been a major let down for me. Might give it another go during the week but defo don't think it's as good as it used to be.

    I also seen a lapras there, it was ???CP, so at least 1700. Couldn't catch it though, he broke out of 8 ultraballs and then ran away.

    At this point I would take a CP 11 Lapras just to fill the gap.
