This is how hard you need to fight for coins if you live in Hong Kong (or similar metropolis)

It is not really a question, but just a glimpse of how improbable, if not impossible you are going to get 50 coins a day when you live in a place like Hong Kong. Today is Monday evening, mind you.

Not a complaint though. Because we have so many stops and gyms and when it comes to CD or Raid Days, we have it so good. You can even monitor Telegram and receive posts from people about 100% and rush to get them. Free coins is pretty much the only thing we don't have here.

Yes i agree. Everytime i try to attack a gym, one of the following thigs happen:
* Gym motivation is instantly full after attacking the gym once
* 10+ people attack a gym until there is 1 Pokemon left and the 1 pokemon gets fed INSTANTLY after being beaten. After 10 mins there are 6 pokemon left.

The fortress of despair cannot be broke and this is the proof of it. To lift the fortress, a limit needs to be put on the number of GRBs fed on 1 Pokemon before it is knocked out (I think 3 should be enough).

Be grateful for numerous stops, plentiful spawns and easy raids. /s

I have sometimes managed to take down a gym after attacking it for over an hour.

I thought there was a limit on how many berries could a mon be fed both by trainer and by mon

Yes. 10 berries per 30 mins, starting from the moment you feed your first. However other trainers can also feed your Pokemon, and also for them is 10 berries per 30 mins. So just for 6 defenders you can coordinate and use that 60 berries to cover different time slots.

4 hours 190 berries fed! Still standing!

Do not forget one trainer can have anywhere arranging from 1 to 12+ accounts. So it might not be multiple people but 1 people with these multiple accounts.

I'm also in HK, and since I'm not active constantly my Pokemon never get 50 coins before KO. Last time, I threw a Rhyperior in the Olympic Station Gym, and like 5 minutes later it was dead. It is a completely different situation in my week long Japan trip, I was taking down the gym in my hotel and NO ONE even put a single berry into any of the defenders, and 10 minutes later, I took the gym, even though at the start every single Mon was at full motivation.
It's the cruel and sad truth that every PoGO player in HK has to face. Even my PoGO friends in Canada are complaining that a lot of players in HK don't let other players have their coins, but in reality, infinity GRBing your Pokemon in a gym is literally the only way to keep it there.

Which is why GRB is the best defender in the game. I completely agree with that because without it none of the player in HK would get more than 3 coins every time they are in a gym

And if you have only one account then good luck taking down any gym at all!

I don't always get the chance to place pokemon but if i did they either get kicked out after 5 mins or stay an entire day for me to get 30-40 coins.

Has Hong Kong become far worse than Singapore?

You mean there a place worse than Singapore?

Sometimes I go up the causeway to marvel at how a Mewtwo raid at 7pm, in mall can have nobody at the start

Any trouble doing tier 5 raids? I thought so. I still have less than 100 completed legendary raids.

You kidding me, Hong Kong is the easiest place to launch a tier 5 raid in the world. Even if Luvdisc was tier 5 crowds of 50+ appear on a regular basis.

That's his point....he isn't kidding you, he is asking a rhetorical question that we all know the answer to.

He is highlighting that many aspects of the game are far better for players in Singapore/HK than anywhere else and yet all we see is little entitled kids complaining about one or 2 details that are not already perfect for them personally.

In HK, you just need to find a gym in a popular spot (like a mall), wait for a legendary raid, and boom, players will just flock there. Even raid-exclusive Pokemon are being raided a lot, last time I found 11 people in a Shinx raid.

I suppose Hong Kong has an equivalent to http://sgpokemap.com/gym.html?

That is my point. I see whiners who complain about coins. You can do tier 5 at will. Stop whining.

In Hong Kong, you can enter most tier 5 raids in the last 3 minutes and get a full team of 20 players.

It hardly seems worth it to have to put that much time and energy into getting 50 cents. You could probably walk a few blocks and find that much in loose change on the sidewalk. I honestly wouldn't even bother if I lived there.

Well, without doing that once in a while, you have to cope with very, very limited bag space and pokémon storage, so I get it.
