I'm kinda gonna miss the double items and surplus of pokemon.... though it's kinda tiring having to restock every other day...

Also, I'm not really liking the changes to the gym system. It takes too much effort to increase the gym levels, and is way too easy to take down. After doing one training session, I got 300 points for it, and I needed 2000, ugh... Then today on my bike ride, I fought against a rival gym and won, and it lost 8000 points from 1 defeat. Now this is just too ridiculous.

Did you know... that if you use dire pokemon to train at a gym that you gain more power for it? I've a mate who has fairly low CP Pokemon and he was boosting the Gym we were powering up by 400 per win, where as when I was hammering the shit out of it with my 2.5k Snorlax I was adding just 200 per victory against all of the trainers in the Gym so yeah, checked it out used a team of low cp mon against the gym rather than just Zen headbutting them all to death... added around 450 priestiege to it, can't believe they've made a system where you get a bigger bonus.... for using shit Pokemon in fights. Fucking Niantic man... maybe in their world you should go and face the Elite 4 with just a team of hundreds of Weedles and Pidgeys? that was their endgame all along lol.

Haha, I never thought of it that way. I noticed the bonus you get from using weaker pokemon, but I usually go with the recommended team to speed things up, and... sometimes when I try to do a gym battle, the blasted game will kick me out and show an 'error' message. Then I can't battle the gym until a certain amount of time passes. It's been happening more often lately, so getting an error after carefully selecting my pokemon just makes it tiresome arrange a team over and over... Sometimes it even boots me out in the middle of a battle. It's so irritaing when these things happen. -_- Come on Niantic...
