Flygon in Ubers, What.
Proof? Because Flygon isnt Ubers quality lol. It's because Flygon can Defog Primal Groudon and Primal Groudon is basically format-warping in Ubers, lol. It's literally the only thing it does, but because Primal Groudon is a stupid Pokemon, that's actually good enough.
To add onto this, Primal Groudon is the big baddie of Ubers, and Flygon resists fire/rock and can't be hit by ground moves through Levitate, so its a soft check to it while also having access to Defog and Roost meaning it can get rid of hazards while also having above average survivability.

Never would have imagined I did but I have started to like Pokemon Go, or rather what it has accomplished. When I had my niece and nephews over last time they went from wanting to use the playstation or play minecraft to now go outside and hunt. A game capable of convincing people to go outside I can having nothing but respect for. Tho they love to make fun of me for only being level 8 and not know what I'm doing, appearently every normal person should know all pokemons.
Hunting with them was pretty fun, watching them celebrate when they managed to take down a gym together was even better. Had them an entire weekend and not a single fight or argument between them, because go go go go Team Instinct. Watching them want to be more outside having fun with teamwork was awesome. It was great when they asked to if we could take a walk in the forest since they only needed a few kilometers to hatch some eggs, think it should be easier to get incubators for free.
Sadly there appearently isn't a lot of pokemons near my home, at least according to them. I it think seems odd considering there's a massive cluster of pokestops, there's a place you can reach 3 without moving and you can literally walk past one every 2 minutes if you circle around in the outskirts of a sports and playground area, well I dont actually know the frequency of pokestops but it seem high? I live close to both a school and high school so I thought it'd be a great place to catch 'em all due to what I assume a high density of players or is pokemon frequency not determined from a localized player density?
I think it's a great game for a generation that grew up with computer games you play inside or maybe I'm just an old fart with memories of spending most of my childhood playing outside whenever the weather allowed it.

Isn't it still summer holiday? Pokemon definitely spawn more often in areas where more players are playing at the same time.
Also the kids at the training camp are going on a "pokemon hunt" tomorrow. Like 40 of them signed up lol. I think the only thing holding that back from being the main activity is no pokestop's meaning they're all out of balls

Pokestops and gyms are landmarks that were gathered by playing Ingress and community staples like post offices and fire houses. If one lives in a typical suburban developement, or ever worse in a rural area where there is nothing of note, pokestops can be few and far between.
As somebody else said, the amount of pokemon in any given area is affected by player traffic. That's part of the reason why hundred of people flock to Central Park in NYC, because it creates tons of pokemon and better chances are rarer shit.

I just kind of want to skip work and play WoW. What a nostalgic feeling.

Even though I don't play I find this to be very disappointing. Why shaft all the rural people? =(

Ah. I see.
It's some really silly things that are marked as pokestops,for instance there's some benches and another is a pair of plastic chars nailed to the ground they are each a pokestop with approximately 10 meters between them. I suppose they are by a famous designer or something. There were no news, ceremony or anything when they were put in place so it seem kinda eeehhhh.
Guess I shouldn't complain anyway.

As am I, though I don't plan on doing a 24-hour run like I did for Cataclysm. I'll probably play a couple of hours, sleep, then go at it for 18 hours. :3

Contrary to popular opinion, I enjoyed most aspects of Cata.
Most of the raiding in Cata was great, PVP was also great. The problem with Cata was the introduction of Raid Specific Legendaries that started with Firelands.
Taragosa is pretty much the defacto reason why TONS of guilds hated dragon soul (Aside from the 18 month content cycle for them both Ouch). Because of its existance all content in dragon soul had to be tuned around there being 1 or more in a raid group. Because even though the item level increase from the new dungeon was significant, the casting "extra" spells from Taragosa for free caused casters to be much too strong. So much so that Heroic Spine of Deathwing was cleared by 1 guild before they nerfed it, where they paid other top guilds to steal their mages for exactly one lock out that had taragosa so that it was mathmaticially doable.
The raid comp consisted of something like 2 tanks 5 healers, 11 arcane mages, a hunter and a rogue. Thats not realistic back then for any group. The week after that they nerfed all the HP pools in the instance by 5% and introduced a way to turn that buff off. At the end of 18 months, only 10 guilds were able to beat that fight without any "nerfs" in place.
That said, the main juice of what everyone hated about Cata was that the dungeons were too hard. Mostly because people were still in the Wrath mind set of "I PRESS BUTTAN" when it came to healing. So healers actually had to have mana sustain which most had no idea what the hell that was. Add in DPS not kicking shit and tanks not pressing their active mitigation CDs (also introduced in Dragon Soul) made doing 5 mans pretty shit without people you know.
Now most peoples big complaint is actually a god send now in Looking for Raid. LFR is mostly a shit show in Dragon Soul. You show up, you press buttan for an hour maybe, and you leave with your purple pixels. Which is fine, however it gave the non LFR achievment for about 2 months which ment there was no way other the gear score to tell how well someone was at a player (now adays and prior to that mistake most groups didnt/wouldn't bring you unless you had the corrisponding achievement). LFR does what its supposed to do though, make the content of the raid able to be experienced by anyone so that mythic can exist and let people who bust their ass see the content that sets the apart from the rest.
However litterally no one sees it that way but blizzard because scores of high end people quit. "Why does that person look exactly like me but with a better color even though I did all this hard work to get this?" were alot of the complaints people get, coupled by massive burn out of raiding for 18 months.
PVP is another story, lots of little things resilience made entering a season late a total detriment. For the hard core once again this was fine because you were playing every week, but to a returning player it wasnt worth the time and often was just a total mess. In RBG's though not having resilience could be helpful as you could absolutely decimate scores of people by just having a firemage with Taragosa (remember that thing? yea turns out its op here too) accidentally "quad" a pyroblast on someone and remove them from the match for 30 seconds. That's how I got Grand Marshal lol. 4 Firemages, 2 Holy Pallys, 2 rogues, and 2 warriors running around just blowing people up for no reason.
The main reason I enjoyed it though? Guilds. Being able to run ponzi schemes on people (through a mechanic called cash flow) and then selling guilds his how i made my massive fortune. Get an addon that invited level 1s to the guild. Lock the guild bank down so only I can access it. Whenever someone in the guild makes any money in the world, 10% is created (not stolen) and put into the guild bank. Then once the guild hits 25, kicked everyone sell it for 100k and take all your money with you and start over. It was like garrisons, except with peoples alts doing slave labor for me. They got paid too, still got their access to their rewards and the other Guild Perks (leveling speed, mount speed ect) but I got the extra money. I call fair trade, some called foul play but to each their own.
That said,
Cata was great if you had a guild who could do everything for you or with you. Or you funded their whole excursion (like i still do).
