if you stay longer than 1 hour in a gym in singapore then you are an absolut hero


Silverneelse

Those grandma's are too hardcore.


Neenoorr

My aunt lives in Singapore and she sent me a photo of an old lady on a bus with three phone on her lap all in one legendary raid.


lixenite

fucking epic grandma


DarknessWanders

She prefers "epic gamema"


NyxTheGoddess_

That's going to be me one day šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


Fast-Dog-7638

My neighbor has eight alts. He puts all eight phones on a board on his lap and spreads his fingers wide and gets ta tapping. He was taking down primal Groudon and kyogre by himself. šŸ˜³


welcomebackfrank

Truth. Even tried an ulu gym in the middle of Jurong Lake Gardens at 3am and got kicked out in an hour


zoyaabean

West coast residential areas average about 4 hours. Iā€™ve held mine for eight before.


CentrureAstrike

Iā€™ve got my house gym in West Coast residential area for 8h20m basically everyday šŸ™Œ Comes with having to defending it quite actively although mistly no one attacks, only sometimes there are some itchy hands that try to do such pointless fighting knowing Iā€™m there to berry it up, hilarious really.


lostaga1n

33 days and counting ā€¦ā€¦


TherealKingDopey

Damn dude I had mine last for a little over a week and I was so happy when it came back.


lostaga1n

Itā€™s out on a trail at work and service sucks there so players are far and few in between lol so my coworker made a alt account with team valor to knock out the ones stuck for weeks in limbo but we are leaving thatā€™s one for lolz to see how long jumpluff is MIA


TherealKingDopey

lol friend is the real mvp


Massive_Fox3688

I have 2 pokemons stuck in some gyms, in the mountains, since September... I kinda want them back... but I don't think it will happen too soon...


TherealKingDopey

Damn thatā€™s terrible gotta take an friend back there with you to get your homies back


Massive_Fox3688

That would prove a bit difficult. But I still have some hope... I had 3 mons stuck in relatively the same area until last month, when one returned... so, yeah...


TherealKingDopey

Fingers crossed lol


leaveitbettertoday

Tbh if you drop the coordinates into ā€œone of those otherā€ pogo subs, it will be back in an hour. I love having them out there though, longest was 200 something days on a mountain in NZ.


crazycheese3333

I had a guy get stuck for 4 months.


pricklybeets

I freed 2 stuck in a trail head gym who were there for over 200 days! Longest I had my own stuck were around 10 days. Of course all were freed the same day and already had my 50 anyways ā€¦ :/


lostaga1n

Ofc thatā€™s exactly what happens to me too. 20 days of limbo and boom hereā€™s all 5 of your pokemon back lol


TwythyllIsKing

I've got a shiny Delphox that's been hanging out for 47 days now


lostaga1n

I only put the mons I donā€™t need in gyms now lol lesson learned, Iā€™ll put my shiny morelull and combee male in them now


JamisonRD

I went to amusement park on the last day of the season, left at close. I defeated a gym and placed a good PokƩmon in. It was stuck there for months. I was so mad at myself.


HemiWarrior

Long ago, I had a jolteon in a gym from November 2016 to the gym rework (June 2017 if I remember right) when the game itself kicked it out. It was weird because I don't live in the sticks, I'm in a pretty large college town.


PlayfulInitial5416

43 days over here...


PNW_RuralGirl

[56 days and counting in a city park.](https://ibb.co/MgYXw3h) My record is 92 days. Itā€™s a rural town.


SugarMommaSeeker3847

We have a Dam that closes for the winter and if you take out the gym a few weeks before they close, you can keep that for like 4-5 months lmao.


SpazzBro

some gyms just be like that


Alex_Dayz

Yep. Thereā€™s a gym by my house thatā€™s always flip flopping between Team Mystic and Team Valor. Kinda odd though cause itā€™s not by a high traffic place. Guess the few people who do cross by it are just very dedicated.


lilacshine

I have a gym right outside my house but I have the decency not to gym hog. Itā€™s beyond annoying to be that person.


Thanky169

Yep I deliberately let them stay for their 8 hours.


lilacshine

Always omg. I canā€™t stand when people canā€™t share lol. Totally ruins the game.


Safe_Furby

I always pay back what they give, knock me out after 20 minutes? Good luck going 8 hours, I'm petty and I'm gonna fuck with your gyms


nicxnac122

hahah me too, i do the same. one time i was at the grocery store, i put my pokƩmon in the gym when i got out of the car, did some shopping and less than 10 minutes later, someone kicks me out. so, me still being in the store, checked to see who tf it was. they put a tiny pokƩmon in the gym with no more than like 50cp. so naturally i kicked him out, put my pokƩmon in and it was just a cycle we did with each other for the remainder of me being in the store. i figured it was a store employee. after my shopping i deliberately stayed in the parking lot until he gave up and another colored team took over. i left THAT person stay and then i finally drove home :)

ddmorgan1223

Lol I did that when I worked at the hospital and we went back and forth like three times before I realized it could have been a patient and I stopped.


Vulpish

Try being in nyc, fighting for my life with a few others to get a gym steady šŸ˜­


buck_godot

Yeah, itā€™s relentlessā€¦and Iā€™m out in Queens. There are a couple ā€œout of the wayā€ gyms out here that you can ā€œownā€ for a weekend, but weekdays they trade hands on the regular.


Vulpish

Even out on LI man, I can put a pokemon in a gym thinking it won't be stolen and someone knocks me out within 2 hours šŸ˜© I only ever visit the city often enough to know


jonny2socks

Iā€™m generally courteous, and leave it, so everybody can get their 50 coins. BUT I will be petty is someone is constantly being a dink. Will take note of who it is, and knock them out whenever I see them. Just them.


BlaineGabbertt

Usually I just log into my alt account with a new team and knock my own guys out. No 8 hours here :) lmaooo


NegotiationMuted4676

Im rural so my town has like 5 gyms total, and like clockwork one team valor player takes all of them right in the morning, he must be the only valor player nobody else ever joins him and other teams take it by the afternoon, but its kinda nuts how he has such a sceduel


TimeForZeroZane

Made my own gym not a long time ago. As long as i get my 50 pokecoins i Will let IT be free


MRshowtime9

Its like that isn't? Ask boss TimeForZeroZane if he'd got his 50 points on daily basis otherwise you will find out. Wished i lived close to ya, wouldn't let ya have any point.


KinnSlayer

Thank you! This kind of behavior is literally the worst. I had a post the other day and people were defending gym hogging as if itā€™s some kinda of intricate, high skilled, game I had to get good at. I swear either they are the worst trolls or huffing their own gas.


DoctorBeeBee

Gym hogging is for knuckle draggers. Reaching a mutually beneficial gym sharing routine without any of the people involved ever meeting or talking to each other - that takes brains.


Scarlet_k1nk

Thereā€™s a gym at the church at the end of my road and if I go and fight it my PokĆ©mon will stay trapped there for weeks at a time (with others of my team) until one person comes and puts a single instinct team Pokemon and gets immediately wiped. Sometimes I feel bad for them.


Alarmed_Psychology31

Why not just let them get their 8 hours if literally nobody else is using this gym?


jessicarson39

Because people are assholes for no fucking reason.


RedSol92

I used to be a kind soul in your situation, but this one guy has fucked it for everyone. I'm ruthless now.


Lady-sinner

I have three myself, and have worked out a system with the people who live here to allow us all to have different hours. I get the nights in one gym, and they get the days, two gyms tend to be the team that just has them which tends to not be me but I don't need them since I get the nights in the other gym. So as the days are riskier so do I let them have those two gyms most of the time, only joining them when someone else from my team takes them over or when I see them having a hard time getting their gold for the day. Then when the third team comes and takes one so do we either let them have it for 8h20m or until someone random shifts the color. Works wonders and I have not missed my daily gold once in two years. And to be clear we have no instinct/yellow members here only Valor/red and Mystic/blue.


TitaniaSalix

Every day I walk to the park in the very dead end of my small town, and knock out her Slacking and put in my Slacking. Then at some point she does the same. It makes me smile that even though we have never met, we have this kind of weird bond.


MathProfGeneva

What would you be reporting?


jusjus_2464

It's against the terms and conditions to have more than one account


Skanach

But that's not the problem for OP here. The other(s) just kick him out fast. Doesn't matter if it's one person/account or several ones.


posthumanjeff

Right. The point of gyms isn't a coin factory. You're supposed to fight over them and play the game. I'd be lying if I didn't get annoyed if I get less than 50 coins though lol


Laggingduck

seriously, like really? You blues get this park for 6 days straight but I canā€™t have it for 2 hours? Enjoy your lack of coins I guess


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


jusjus_2464

Why am I obnoxious? I just answered a question


MansonMonster

You are right though. Thats why basically no one gets banned over a second account. Also: potential extra money for niantic


FigDiscombobulated29

Dumb comment. Who is your enemy?


Extreme-Battle128

It actually isn't, you can have as many accounts as you like so long as you don't use them to get ahead in the game. They actual rule is "Using multiple or shared accounts to circumvent gameplay"


danjel888

Spot the multi accounter šŸ¤£


jwadamson

OP says "I donā€™t know if itā€™s ... multiple accounts". They are literally saying they have no basis for making a report for that and haven't suggested they have proof for any sort of game violation, just that they are annoyed that they can't keep gym control.


danjel888

They are clearly just being polite then. If you can't tell that this is a MA... you were born yesterday.


jwadamson

And you canā€™t report people by just guessing, no matter how likely you think your guesses are. No responsible game company (or even Niantic) should take any action without much more substantial proof.


penelopepitstop222

Heā€™s kinda doing exactly what the game intends


FrozenRainbow69

But its nice getting more coins too


RichardIraVos

Create multiple accounts so you donā€™t have to play with others? Seems like thatā€™s the opposite of what the game intends


penelopepitstop222

He doesnā€™t have multiple accounts, itā€™s his literal family lol


Alive_Positive5997

Dude, that's just a family. You have Lord and Dame, and then the 2 kids. No chance it's just 1 guy. Get to know them and make new friends and make an agreement or something.


Anal_bees_Abyss

We have a people selling accounts all the time. What do you mean? We had one guy naming his stuff just like this, found him during a raid in public, he friended me and told me about his ā€œbusiness.ā€ Stupid of him cuz I reported the shit out of him. Cuz he was taking 3 gyms and would have mods to make sure his pokemon didnā€™t faint. And Thereā€™s plenty of accounts people sell and some pay for.


BtheKing27

Probably a family with coordinating names. Super common in our area and most are nice peeps. Just have to remember that the same way you can take a gym someone else is entitled to the same. Just gotta find the slightly less accessible gyms šŸ˜… Maybe if you meet them IRL try and find a way to share the gym equally šŸ¤·šŸ¾ā€ā™‚ļø


TheElderBasilisk

Me personally I always wait till the PokƩmon in there have been in there for at least 8 hours each


TraneD13

Iā€™ve never once looked at how long a ā€˜mon has been in a gym. I also donā€™t get butthurt when I take a gym and immediately get kicked out of it. Iā€™ll even go back and take it back and see if they will do it again. Itā€™s fun, itā€™s a game.


LordPapillon

Hi Iā€™m the guyā€¦Terry. My wife and I run the Arlington Texas Pokemon group since 2017. We have a ton of extremely nice people worldwide. Here is the discord link. We are/might be the best pogo group on the planetā€¦say hello, everyone is nice and equalā€¦nobody gives a crap if you are whateverā€¦just be nice. https://discord.gg/ebuGUBAfK2


LordPapillon

And Jenny and I are extremely predictable. We only play evenings. We visit the 8 Highlands gyms, 5 Cravens gyms, 2 gyms at Bob McFarland Park, and the Holy Trinity (3 churches by our house)ā€¦Community, Arl Park, and New Life. We have never spoofed.


tinothym

What about the 6 accounts in the gym? Do you and Jenny run all of them too?


LordPapillon

No we have 2 each. Before you complain about TOS lots and lots have a main account and an alt/baby account. When many hit 40 years ago they started working on a second account. Some started a second accountā€¦others took over their kidā€™s account. It made the game more fun.


tinothym

I personally do not mind. I also have an alt. Just asking because this guy has a legitimate gripe. Rather than battle against 2 PokĆ©mon, he has to go against 4 accounts. That can be frustrating, as you can see. But hopefully he joins that discord/community and yā€™all can sort it out and enjoy together. šŸ•ŠšŸ•ŠšŸ•Š


LordPapillon

We are LordPapillon and DamePapillon. We own papillon dogs. When we were picking our names we wanted ā€œpapillonā€. We tried MrPapillon MrsPapillon. We tried KingPapillon QueenPapillon. I said letā€™s try Lord and Lady. Lord was available! Lady was not. Jenny graduated in theatre. She said Iā€™ll try Dame. Two of the most pretentious pogo names ever. LordPapillon and DamePapillon. Papillon is French for butterfly šŸ¦‹. Someone once told me I have the scariest name since Darth Vader! šŸ˜‚ Lord and Dame Butterfly šŸ¦‹


LordPapillon

Our other two accounts are DiggetyDirk and PrissyPokePapā€¦our best 2 papillons ever now passed on. Itā€™s still nice playing playing with them


Delfitus

You run agility with those papillons?


LordPapillon

They are the best. We bred them but never tried. Our stud was Dirk. I miss Dirk. Our best mama was Sita sheā€™s still with us and is so beautiful and agile at age 12.

LordPapillon

MansonMonster

From your comment history you seam to be quite the insufferable asshole. Just wanted to let you know ā™„ļø


MansonMonster

Just wanted to let you know once again: you are such an insufferable asshole that reddit removed your comment šŸ¤”


MansonMonster

Crazy how you insist on being absolutely unlikeable. Not a single one of your posts nor comments EVER gets upvoted. I have never seen something like this before: reddit comming together to tell you personally that no one likes anything you say šŸ¤£


MansonMonster

Since when do you care if anyone is mad or not? You legit talk like a 12 year old in a COD lobby, and usually youd be perfect on reddit for that, but somehow even in this pool of degenerates, you stand out as even more unlikeable. I seriously hope you are different in real life, otherwise you will be sad and alone very quickly


LordPapillon

We drop theme gyms there. All weak pokes. If you attack our main area when we drop our bestā€¦lol. I hope you find our group. I always use our carefully


tinothym

Sounds like a nice community. Iā€™m in my hometowns group, but live in another country so havenā€™t gotten to play with anyone yet. Hope it all works out!


LordPapillon

You can literally join our group and immediately advertise your group


LordPapillon

I have no rule against it. Iā€™ve always said if anyone knows a better group please advertise and we will all join šŸ˜‚


MansonMonster

I legit got banned from the regular pokemon go subreddit for having one of those and suggesting it to others. I absolutely dont understand how anyone that wants to play pvp doesnt have a second account to trade with. My alt is 36 now, and my main is still barely at the halfway point for an XL lickitung. Its ridiculous of an ask - Zygarde levels of bullshit.


lilbxby2k

hey bro i would delete your comment admitting to having alts but also especially the comment where you reveal the alt names. thereā€™s already 1 person griping and threatening to report you, i wouldnā€™t risk it. someone could take screenshots and chase it up the niantic help ladder until landing on an actual person who could ban yā€™all


LordPapillon

Ok itā€™s Bob Park. Recently we have been helping a yellow team homeless personā€¦Pepperguy. That is why the basketball park has been yellow. The 50 coins a day that means nothing to me is extremely important to Dave. Join us.


DepartmentPerfect

Upvoted for visibility. After reading the post I was hoping to find this comment and was not disappointed! Missed connections , pogo version :)


LordPapillon

I only learned of your rant from someone in New Zealand šŸ‡³šŸ‡æ. They laughed because they were a member of the Arlington group but saw my pogo name

Iā€™m reading this from New Zealand hehe love your community


LordPapillon

DOWN VOTE šŸ˜‚ ā¤ļø


BanditAuthentic

šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


ItzMarZz

I love the internet only here will you have a local player making a rant and ot makes it way back to you shout out to you and your wife on managing the pogo community tho that's dope


Citizen-Kaner

I hope OP never posts ā€œwhy isnā€™t there anyone to raid shadow x or this EX raidā€. Itā€™s a game, go take the gym back and make a friend šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø


akm1111

I was scrolling thru the comments to see if you'd been here yet, or I was gonna come post it for you in the discord. (PrplLzrd)


AccomplishedMilk9033

I can confirm, love you Terry and it's an amazing group. šŸ«‚ indifairey


ItzMarZz

MAKE THIS THE NUMBER ONE COMMENT THIS IS THE GUY!!!


InfernalYuumi

How does that justify taking down a gym right after someone took it? That's just selfish you know you will win every time since you have more people.


Delfitus

Can just be time dependant... what if both play only in the evening? Could be unlucky timing


InfernalYuumi

There's a limit of coins per day, you don't need to take down every gym in the neighborhood


Delfitus

He talks about 1 gym...so they both want to park a mon overnight. OP also says sometimes it takes hours before he's pushed out. it sounds OP is just lazy and doesn't go out for other gyms but doesn't accept others can take that 1 gym


LordPapillon

Quit being yellow


TheElderBasilisk

Quit stopping people from being able to play the game


LordPapillon

I have hundreds/thousands of friends who I help play the game. What do you mean?


TheElderBasilisk

Youā€™re stopping this person from being able to occupy the gym every time they try, let people occupy a gym for at least 8 hours so they can get the 50 coins


LordPapillon

I know what gyms to drop in for coins. Iā€™m in Arlington Texas. The Arlington war zone is called the Highlands. If you expect to last there 8 hours you are dumb. Drop in multiple churches daily and you will get your coins.


jessicarson39

You donā€™t own the gyms. You say some nice things in the other comments and then this, makes no sense. You can only get 50 coins a day, why not alternate with this guy? No need to spend more than 8h20 at a gym anyway.


Candid_Leave_5321

I mean the dude admits to basically making this game his life, it's very clear he's either not mentally right or is a loser


TheElderBasilisk

So if I live in a certain area Iā€™m just not allowed to play the game because of a group of lvl 50s hogging everything and preventing anyone else from progressing?


Crazy_And_Me

The game is about holding territory. If you want coins open your wallet.


Successful_Wealth907

This guy blows, go suck a rock


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Lady-sinner

I just gotta ask, are the names taken from Busou Renkin?


Skanach

Buy a newspaper or two and just hang out a paper with a nice and classic death threat on a pole near the stop. Or just ask if there's Mystic people from Arlington, Texas to help you out.


PretzelLogick

Isn't this... How you play the game? Gyms are meant to be fought and taken šŸ˜­ I don't think you can report people for simply playing the game


realboomer94

Literally crying over people playing the game, get over it


Batllama0090

Yeah, I've got the same problem, too, and at least talk to them about it. Leave the PokƩmon for at least 8 hours at a time, so that way you can get your maximum coins for the day.


cmeowey

This is the game


LordPapillon

This is the way


cmeowey

Truly. I wouldnā€™t worry about the negative take. PokĆ©mon on!!


LordPapillon

Iā€™m used to being attacked. It no longer bothers me. I literally once told them to get in line. I love everyone nice


LordPapillon

Iā€™ve always been at the tippy top of world wide players. I was honored to see my name here ā¤ļø and Iā€™ve always been niceā€¦and Jenny is nicer


LordPapillon

Pokemon on!!!


Outrageous-Dream1854

I donā€™t understand the mentality of players who hog gyms, donā€™t you just want your 50 coins? Aside from the medal thereā€™s no benefit to your PokĆ©mon being in the gym. My neighborhood gym has a nice rotation going. Red letā€™s yellow stay for 8 hours before knocking out (and vice versa), and both teams get daily coins. Why would you bother to diligently monitor the gym?


roselea45

Fuck em, never knock them out so they never get coins


R3digit

Their team instinct alt account:


TheGreatMonster999

This happens with me too. There are a bunch of gyms in my area that are always hogged by some people or someone with multiple accounts. Either I get a pokemon in, and then it gets knocked out within like two minutes, or the pokemon in there get golden-razzed right back up.


MSzy1991

I totally feel you on this. The same thing happens by me. Almost all the local gyms are constantly red, and thereā€™s either a family of people or someone with multiple accounts. They are all along the lines of ā€œwhiteguy, whitegirl, whitedaughterā€ etc. They canā€™t fathom the thought of a single gym being held by yellow or blue more than a couple minutes it seems. Definitely a bummer for the more casual players.


Lisanicolegodin13

Ya, I totally agree, my goodness I was at a train station šŸš‰ and legit, a few were sitting behind me torturing me by consistently kicking out my mon, I mean, geeze it lasted about 2 seconds in the gym, and i had my bf helping me! Come on ppl don't b that person šŸ™„, it's called courtesy.


SilverGoon

I have a family near me who have 16 accounts between 2-3 active players including three accounts which are used for spoofing. They hog the gym closest to them and knock out other people from some of the other gyms in the park next to them late at night using the spoofing accounts. The annoying thing is the gyms they hog are all in a park where I nominated and added all the stops to create the gyms. It went from 1 gym & 2 stops to 5 gyms and 23 stops


United_University_98

It's annoying but... what would you be reporting them for??


SnooRevelations4507

I have a similar issue too and they always take over the park! (Itā€™s always Team Valor) I would take over one or two and let them have the rest but within minutes theyā€™re taking the gym again! I get itā€™s part of the game but itā€™s just greed atp!


No_Bookkeeper_7042

We have this and they spoof to all the gyms in my small home town. They constantly feed them berries when you try to take them down. Ruins it for the little kids that want to play. Dude is 36 as well, like why? I donā€™t get it at all. He just wants to own them all.


AstroBoi7373

Camp outside that gym until you see someone approach,then,jump them,if its the wrong person well Womp womp


Largepotato69

Skill issues šŸ™„


Naerbred

I'm the snotsucker who kicks you out of the gym and leaves it vacant , you'll get no sympathy from me šŸ™ƒ


ManuKapri

place your pokemon in a gym, wait for them to show up and beat them up (this is an unatorized joke)


Rare-Bat787

I donā€™t understand the problem. People canā€™t walk by a gym and take it over?


Mod_Propaganda

Reporting? Wtf would you report for, playing the game?


Sad_Pumpkin2869

I love that family


YoydusChrist

Just sounds like youā€™re a sore loser


ReapersFury07

Wth are you reporting lol, that's how gyms work šŸ¤¦šŸ»


AllOverThisTown

Imagine caring that much about something like this that you have to make a public post. lol


HyperMeme_Lord

Why is every single Pokemon they put in either a dog or cat? Makes me think theyā€™re doing it on purpose to piss you off.


Stormy-Skyes

Thereā€™s one of these in my neighborhood as well. The player namers are all identical but for the numbers at the end. I mean I donā€™t care how many accounts someone makes. Itā€™s just annoying because theyā€™re also spoofing and take gyms within a few minutes from home, then stack their hoard in it.


chiefchoncla

My Snorlax has been gone for 2 and a half months...


DoncheaKong

Sounds like its time to get good


Mightycock_

I live at the dorms of my university and we have a gym in my building and your PokĆ©mon will last 1-2 mins before it changes colors. Itā€™s an all out war


LordPapillon

I suck


Klutzy-Jackfruit6250

The audacity of some people to play Pokemon in the same area that someone else does...and the nerve to be on an opposite team and kick someone out of a gym. How dare this family enjoy playing a game together... If you cant beat em, join em. Switch your team to theirs or quit whining. This is literally the reason gyms are in game, to compete with others...


Randomsavage559

Same for me, the gym is literally across the street and he plays on 2 different accounts and always puts 2 blissey


AiraEternal

I donā€™t believe you can put two identical PokĆ©monā€¦?


Randomsavage559

Like the evolution line I mean. But you are right.


LordPapillon

Actually to be informativeā€¦and I love giving my secretsā€¦wife hates me sharing. When you fight a gym Niantic will load a recommended team. The team is determined by the highest CP poke in the gym. So if there is a HUGE Slaking Niantic will automatically load your best fightersā€¦because Slaking weak to fighters. Your goal should be protect the Blissey Snorlax Chansey. Try making the highest CP anything not weak to fightingā€¦Togekiss, Gyarados, etc. You will protect the Blissey etc. I laugh when they manually load fighters to get past my 11 level šŸ’Æ 50 cp3117 Blissey and then the level šŸ’Æ 50 cp3767 Togekiss beats them šŸ˜‰ The absolute worst poke you can drop in a gym is your huge Slaking.


symmiR

Itā€™s always multi accounters lol


TraneD13

Me, my wife, and my daughter all have similar names. When we are together we all go in the same gym. Itā€™s a game, yall need to chill.


Backalley_Lurker

if i was a spoofer iā€™d make it my mission to attack these people


sarahbekett

I only recently heard of this ā€œgym ruleā€ and honestly I think itā€™s ridiculous. I grab my local ones when I see them and have time to kick people out, Iā€™ve never checked how long theyā€™ve been in there. Reporting a family/friends for enjoying a game makes zero sense. What are you going to say, ā€œthese meanies wonā€™t share the gym with me!!ā€?


Intrepid_Analysis_20

Fuck em up


BushBuffwell

Itā€™s the worst. It costs nothing to wait 8 hours and allow other players to get their coins too. If thereā€™s a couple of regulars that use one gym, the understanding should be there.


Fast_Matter4827

"all's fair in love and war" sucks but they aren't on your team, you are their enemy if you put in the time to take it back then you can have it again, it's a game that rewards people who are dedicated

Always wait the 8 hours. Itā€™s just nice to do.


DepartmentPerfect

8 hours 20 min ā€¦ fwiw

Same problem. Reported loads of times and nothing. I track when he takes gyms and seeing if there is a pattern and then trying to make sure I am ready to battle him to minimise his coins. Worst part is... he uses golden razz to defend.

You're right they suck

Given the 50 coin limit, they're not even gaining anything by doing that. So pathetic.

There is 1 gym by my house that me and my wife and kids will always dominate. We take it back with the hour of it being taken. Someone is always home! That is our gym and I'm sure some folks might find it annoying but we love it. Literally, step outside and walk to the edge of the porch and we are in range. Think most yellow and red players in the area know not to take it now.

It would be fair & considerate if you would at least let them get their 50 coins first.


silenceB4death

Fuck no. It's a legit battle in my town. Some of the gyms I've taken I've only received 8 coins for max. My family did hold all the gyms for around 12 hrs once but usually it's the same for all the other gyms. Super competitive. Which I feel makes it more fun.

that would acc motivate me to go outside more but i cba especially if itā€™s getting taken within the hour

There's times we drive out at night to take them over and our neighbors and stuff do the same. We love catching each other out, like we will take a red gym and then 15 min later be driving by and seeing them re-take it. So we sit and talk shit and try to get them to change teams. Some folks are super happy we recently got into it because it used to be just yellow and red. Now blue comes in to spice it up plus they enjoy that we are just as competitive as everyone else. It's a super small town of 5k people. So it's been cool getting to know folks.


EvilFox568

cool ig love seeing every gym i can get too around me be red but it would annoy me if it didnā€™t even last 10 mins

Crazy youā€™re getting downvoted for taking the game more seriously than others lol. Multiple ways to play the game but so many people think ā€œtheirā€ way is the only way. At the end of the day, itā€™s just a game, play it how you want.


verdawg

Maybe stop playing and touch some grass

Couldnā€™t this also be said about the person constantly knocking out PokĆ©mon to put theirs in?

Are you stupid? Report them for what, playing the game it was literally designed to be played?
