"I work in a town where NO ONE plays. I threw my best 5 in Gyms. If no one ever beats them, I'll NEVER get them back and NEVER get any coins?!"

#PokemonGO: Is this actually real? The town I work in has literally less than 5 players, and I think we're all Mystic. The 5 gyms in town were level FOUR Mystic for months on end. Collected coins daily from them. As soon as the gyms went live I went to them and threw my best Pokes in them. Fast forward 16 hours and they're still sitting there. I thought ALL Pokes returned when their motivation drained, but I just read they need to be defeated at least once!So basically:*My 5 best Pokemon are in gyms that NO ONE visits*I can't claim coins from these Pokes whatsoever until they're returned*I can't get these 5 guys back since NO ONE will ever go battle these gymsSo basically my 5 best Pokemon are locked out from my inventory forever with no chance of reward. Am I missing something or is this the stupidest thing Niantic has ever done? If I can't get either a reward from having them in the gym or a way to get them back, I'm done. I worked so hard on those 5. They're basically just gone now. via /r/pokemongo http://ift.tt/2s3l8Y2
