Though the Pokemon Go does seem interesting, regardless.
What phone do you use Hoodcom? Also there is a setting to turn down battery consumption in Miitomo. Also how much RAM do you use on said device?
There is a multitude of reasons of why your phone loses a lot of battery.

HTC One M9, though when I did use Miitomo, it usually was certain times at the office, and the signal is horrible there. So that doesn't help battery any.

Hmm, I tend to not use Miitomo when on the go, only when there's a WiFi connection, mobile data be costly in funds (well, if you've got data caps) and power methinks.

Unfortunately mobile carriers love to stick it to you on data caps. All it is, is about money.

I hear some ISPs do that as well, don't think I've seen it on my end, but I've heard it happens to some folks on your side.

Yeah there are plenty of crooked ISPs too. AT&T is one of the biggest offenders. So much so, they pay off the government to stop other companies from growing and laying out fiber optic so they can keep their crap copper without improving the Internet infrastructure.

The sad thing is, way back in the 90s, the government paid these companies to lay out fiber to begin with. Where the hell is it? What, not here? But you want to stop companies willing to use their own money to lay fiber lines? Ugh.

Hmm, I don't tend to hear much of AT&T, most of the time I hear complaints from your end, it's for a company called Comcast. The only thing I recall about AT&T is them having iPhone exclusivity a few years back, much like 02 did on our end.

Oh you poor thing, Lochy. :(

ISPs really have become crooked these days, big time. Fortunately the FCC has been doing things to stop it.

Yeah US cable companies are the fucking scum of the world, it's not getting better either. The FCC's rulings will crash under Trump/Clinton (especially Clinton) unfortunately, and considering that Obama literally went on Jimmy Fallon to sing some sort of Don't Hug Me I'm Scared type "big corporations and trade deals are good and you shouldn't question them!" song I have no faith in them feeling pressured by public outcry. They're going to kill innovation and censor speech with this, and of course the online news that "slow-lane" users get will be the big corps feeding everyone """""facts""""" about how great all of it is. Regardless, I'm planning to chip in some money to the awesome people who've been bringing light to the issue and swayed all the rulings so far.

Anyway, I've been getting back into Pokemon Platinum, and both then and now completely don't get why this is treated as the like "its ok i guess" title. It actually seems like one of the more innovative and creative games in the series?

Ah, Platinum. It was my first "third version" game. I really liked it, that moment when Giratina appeared was quite the defining moment. While it's true that later gens had more impressive legendary intros thanks to the expanded use of 3D models, this one is definitely still very atmospheric.

Interesting, though some of them were quite funny looking. The second one I thought looked like a miniature bus. :lol:

I think i've grown attatched to a few of them although yes some of them still look really wierd. For some such as the pika clone I think it's just the colours on the model that's off.

Since you can name your Pokemon, I wonder if the new game allows enough characters for that. :P
