POKEMON INFO (What everyone really cares about)
SPAWN
There will be an increased spawn of all Kanto and Johto starter pokemon, as well as Pikachu, Larvitar, and Lapras, along the event route the event route. (Confirmed: source)
Region-specific pokemon will not appear at this event. (Confirmed: source) (Note: Tauros will likely still appear as normal, uncommon background spawn.)
It is reasonable to assume that Unown also will not appear at this event as there has been no specific mention of them.
Speculation: The special spawn is described as appearing on "the day of the event" (source), which may mean it will begin late in the evening of Saturday, September 16th.

GYMS & POKESTOPS
Temporary gyms and pokestops will appear "across the Viva CalleSJ route", which will be "centralized in Japantown, St. James Park, Mexican Heritage Plaza, and Lake Cunningham Park." (Confirmed: source) UPDATE: Event gyms are now live! (Credit to /u/hibryd)
Temporary pokestops are live! About five are clustered around each of the following four locations: Japantown, St. James Park, Mexican Heritage Plaza, and Lake Cunningham Park. (Confirmed: source)
Temporary gyms are live! There are three in St. James Park and three in Lake Cunningham Park. (Confirmed: source)
Many (but not all) pokestops along the route will be lured. (Confirmed: source)
Note: The 25 gyms and 130+ pokestops mentioned here already exist and are not specific to this event. It is not known exactly how many temporary gyms and pokestops will appear, but we do know that they will be in addition to the existing gyms and pokestops. (For reference: Ingress intel map of San Jose)
There will be two "Sprint Gym Battles" in San Jose from 12pm-5pm PDT on September 17th, near-ish to the event route. One is located at 2710 McKee Road, and the other is at 2080 Tully Road. (Confirmed: source) (Credit to /u/justchen563 and /u/natureruler)
A total of ten $50 Amazon gift cards will be given away, five cards at each of the two Sprint Gym Battles. From the official rules: At the conclusion of the Gym Battle, five winners will be randomly selected from all registered participants who are members of the team that owns the gym at the end of the event window. (Credit to /u/DeletedUsernameTaken)




I was really hoping there might be regional pokemon making an appearance, but it still seems like it will be a fun event with a reasonable potential to load up on some of the more rare pokemon's candies.

Are any other b8ers going to be there? I'm about to hit the road and should be getting there around 9 or 9:30 AM PST.

Best is currently 2017.

Worst was probably 2009 or 2010, had some rough patches dealing with stuff, but ive been either content or happy at pretty much any point in my life.

Rank your top 8 dark type pokemon.

When you are done with that rank your favorite 6 electric types.


And then determine if the dark types or the electric types would win in an all out melee between the two.

This is very neighborhood dependent.

In the right neighborhood you are probably fine to go out late provided you dress is a not shady and suspicious way.

I can't really fault the actions themselves of the police not releasing further information.

Isn't that just common sense for cases involving minors unless they are tried as an adult?

If you ever need caps you just need to make a settlement into a massive water farm. Just make a bunch of generators connected to a bunch of the water pumps (the huge ones you put in water). And just throw missile turns down to defend the whole thing.

Then show up periodically and collect your hundreds and hundreds of Purified Water which you can use to trade for any item you could possibly want.


Or set up trade kiosks at the same base and trade the water to them whenever they get more caps or if they ever get a useful item (they almost never do).

Vlado.



Attempting to murder someone is illegal.

Attempting to swing an election is illegal.



It doesn't matter if they succeeded at everything that were trying. The fact that they were trying is still illegal.



But you can't even wrap your head around that much.

Vlado posted...
It is researched and a fact, but it doesn't even need to be. "Innocent until proven guilty." There is not a SINGLE PIECE OF EVIDENCE implicating Russia so far.

And you're choosing to ignore the clear evidence presented on that site... That's entirely on you. You choose to be ignorant.


June 3rd, 2016. Donald Trump Jr. received an email care of the russian government that offered to give the trump campaign dirt on hillary clinton.

Now that doesn't prove that Russia was successfully able to swing the election in Trumps' favor. But it does show us that they were TRYING to.



June 7th, 2016. Only FOUR days later, and before the arranged Russia/TrumpJr meeting took place Donald Trump himself gave a campaign speech indicating that the following week he would have even more dirt to dish on Hillary. Specifically hillary and her russian connection.

This proves that Trump KNEW about the impending meeting, or at least knew that people in his campaign were about to get their hands on something.




So here is what I see:

We can conclude with reasonable certainty that Russia was attempting to swing the election. And it isn't just from the meeting, there are a litany of damning implications.

Further, we can conclude that Trump was at the very least AWARE OF these efforts enough to promise to deliver information from a secret meeting that hadn't taken place yet.

Therefore it is pretty reasonable to say that Trump was aware of the attempts at criminal activity to swing the election on his behalf. Even if we can't yet prove they did enough to actually have an impact on the results, the fact of the matter is that they tried, and that's still a pretty fucking illegal thing to do.


"Well you see officer, yeah I shot my gun at her a bunch of times, but all my shots missed so really no crime was committed, right?"

^That type of logic does not work.




But then you, seeing the same evidence decide to say "WELL LETS NOT JUMP TO ANY HASTY CONCLUSIONS. YOU ARE READING TOO MUCH INTO ALL THESE SHADY DEALINGS. AND STOP CONNECTING LINES. TREAT THESE ALL AS FULLY UNCONNECTED AND EQUALLY UNLIKELY SCENARIOS."


I put that in ALL CAPS because in my mind you have your fingers shoved in your ears and you are shouting as loud as you can.

Vlado how do you think search engines should work?

Should they not have an algorithm in place that punishes sites that regularly post false "news" and instead promotes legitimate sites?

Every news source is wrong sometimes.

But you can still trust the source that is nearly always accurate more than you can trust a source that is rarely ever accurate.

And more reliable sources will issue a retraction when they run a story that turns out to have been incorrect.
