    Downside of new house, no Pokestops! Plenty a short wander away, but no ability to just drop a lure and stay home if the weather is vile. I shall have to do something about this…

      My house has 3 pokestops nearby and a gym. If I feel like walking 3 minutes, 4 more stops and 2 more gyms.

      I feel blessed.

        I can currently get three stops without leaving the house, and often one of those stupid dynamax things. 2 gyms are just out of range. Spoilt rotten.

      I got so lucky during covid that our house was in range of a stop. At times the GPS would go weird and I’d end up at the nearby hospital where i could spin a few more as well

        The buddy pickup kept me going at the beginning until we moved here in a gap between lockdowns

      I had to look up what a pokestop was. I thought it was a franchise of shops that sell poke bowls. I thought you must really love salads. Then I looked up pokemon go and watched a short video on it. Wow it’s like a whole new language. Looks like fun though.

        It is alive and for sale. I was an avid Ingress player in it’s infancy days. I’m actually responsible for no small number of pokestops around Melbourne. The Preston strip in particular is mostly my work.

      I’m in between a gym, a pokestop and a power spot, but not within reach of any. If I walk the block, I get one more stop. But there’s a few route options nearby, so that’s nice.
