Different service providers use different networks. My service provider doesn't have much coverage outside the city in my part of the country.

Do you see that as a problem with wireless services where you are?

It's just how it is here. Sometimes you lack reception. You can always do emergency calls as long as you don't go completely off-grid, the rest is just a matter of how important coverage is - since I mostly move in urban environments I get by just fine with a cheaper service provider with worse coverage in areas I rarely visit anyway.

From my store (Where I was all day Saturday) I can reach four pokestops and 2 gyms. I had all four pokestops lured all day long and had incense going for 7 hours straight. I only caught 3 shiny weedles. My Wife was home and caught zero

Probably because she keeps on switching between social media and POGO

My wife stopped playing Pokemon Go because it drained the battery too fast so she couldn't Tweet. Now she is playing Wizards United instead, I don't know if that is easier on the battery.
So now I am playing Pokemon Go, the wife is playing Wizards united, and the kid is playing Minecraft Earth when I force him to go outside.

Not gonna lie, I feel like that POGO has really been draining the phone battery this past month or 2 for the wife and I.

Did a Scyther raid for candy an research purposes and got a shiny. Unfortunately with 15/10/10 IVs so I am still a bit disappointed. Don't have enough candy to evolve another Scizor at the moment anyway though.

congrats on the shiny!

You are NOT wrong!

Spend the whole bug event frantically shiny checking everything in the hopes of getting a Venonat or Dwebble or Illumise and Lady Luck serves me up... a shiny Meditite? Not complaining or anything (I wasn't even trying to click on it - I wanted the Scyther next to it), just more of a "Huh" moment.

Awesome! A shiny is a shiny.

I just found this thread. Is there a place where everyone has their Friend Codes?

(You know, on the off chance of the one or two people who might lower themselves to be Friends with me.)

There's not a collected list but if you post yours you should get a lot of friend request.
