What’s the longest amount of time you’ve defended a Pokemon Go Gym for? A player shared the story of their Gible being “held hostage” online with other fans recently.
One Pokemon Go player took to social media lately to share how they had accidentally left theirShinyGible at a remote Gym, and other fans jumped on the chance to share their own stories.
Popping upin this Reddit post, a player noted how they’d accidentally left theirShiny Gibledefending an “abandoned” Gym in a campground while watching the eclipse. They joked how they were, “invested in seeing how long he is held hostage” and asked other fans about their own records.
Another player revealed that they’d left Pokemonin a Gymwhile on a trip abroad, confidently declaring “365+ days for 3 Pokemon” and sharing that they’d even put in Regional ‘mons to try and get some extra Candy in the process.
Some players in the Subreddit couldn’t relate to this story, though, thanks to living in such a densely populated area. A fan in New York shared “I live in NYC so a few mins” and another jokingly replied, “gotta love losing your Gym after only 5 mins”.
Pokemon Go offers such a different experience for players based on where they are in the world. It’ll be interesting to see whether we get any changes to remote gameplay andPokemon Go Gymsas the year goes on – and if OP’s Shiny Gible is still holding down the fort.
