Pokemon Go #1 - the one where we've discovered the gaming board

My candies also got added without me needing to tap on anything! I went from 31 to 39 today!

I don't understand what you mean as the candies just went onto my total and I didn't have to claim them

My candy is being added to the stash automatically?

Am I the only one who didn't know the candy isn't added automatically and you have to tap on it from the Buddy screen? I was raging thinking I'd been duped of my pikachu candy as I'd walked 3km but didn't get the extra Pikachu candy

Today's been one of the better days I've had in a while.

Once I'd claimed my candy I evolved my pikachu, I had two with similar CP but one had IVs of 97 so I evolved him. I know I should have waited and evolved him with lucky egg, but I was too excited :) pokedex now seen/caught 133

Whilst out walking I also caught an exeggcute, scyther, Diglett, lickitung, none of them are new to me but better than pidgeys

My 10k hatched into a 1768cp Snorlax so I'm very very chuffed with that. I already had one but at 150cp he was crap :)

Im going to flick through and see which Pokemon I need the least candy of to evolve and make that my buddy.

I now have Squirtle as my buddy. I need 9 Squirtle candies to evolve my Wartortle into a Blastoise.

Heat I wish, it's comfortable but still cold enough to wear a hoodie here the garden hasn't recovered from all the rain yet. Hatched a ratatta where's my bulbasaur ???

A wild drowzee just appeared and dog didn't even flinch.

You lot are brave to be walking in this heat! I have been holing myself up at home where there's no sun.

I did manage to walk 500m today, so I am halfway to getting a Pikachu candy.

I've not had a 10k egg in over month. Anyone know why?
I was also considering having pikachu as my buddy but as u only have one I will wait and see.
Did 8k in walking with my clefairy today by leaving my phone on while stuck in traffic. Is that really bad?
Think my next buddy will be a gastly as I don't have a gengar yet and need 36 more candies at the moment.
100 out of 190k for level 25 but no new ones. Ever. So annoying.

New update is on! Not checked it out yet but I've attached myself to my slowpoke.

Great hour Pokemon hunting, went down the sea front saw my first Wild pikachu but he ran away got 4 pikachu candy just by walking though. Got to a gym just as a guy turned it grey, snuck in and took it, it was made hilarious by hearing a man in his 20s screaming NOOOO across the grass

I haven't had a 10k egg for ages !

I need a revive myself after seeing that Red is on level 29

I'm slowly getting through level 28 but 29 is a long, long way away.

I evolved a 188CP magikarp with top IVs today and after a bit of powering up I now have a lovely 2000+ Gary. It's my second one.

I seem to be getting more 10k eggs now.

Since the update, I've been unable to use Pokemon go anywhere other than in a WiFi area. .😭

Levelled up to 29 this morning so was able to power up my Dragonite to over 3000
I have ivysaur as my buddy - all I need now is Venusaur and Aerodactyl (other than the 3 regionals) 350000 to level 30 now so I think it's going to be back to pidgey catching to gain XP

So glad the update was all ok for you Pidgey!!

Took my 18 year old to London yesterday, had yet another brilliant pokehunting day, Hyde Park was Clefairy City, managed to catch about 15! Also came home with a Mr Mime, but can't remember where he appeared.

We started at Queens Square, just down from Gt Ormond Street hospital, which seems to be an eggsecute spawning site, then round to Russell Square which seems to be a Ryhorn spawning site.

Caught a bus to Hyde Park, & then walked through to Holland Park, came out of HP with several Bulbasaurs, (new Pokemon for me!) caught a Nidoking in there! Ridiculously excited when I got an Aerodactyl out my egg, only the second 10k egg I've ever got.

Caught the tube to Tower Hill, & managed to snag a couple of Pikachu's, Dragonair, and a Wartortle! Along with the usual collection of Magicarp, Gastly's, Rattata, Pidgey, slowpokes, squirtles etc. etc!

There aren't enough hours in the day

I just took a gym from a higher CP Pokemon with me Snorlax. My first successful battle!

Oh my... Level 20 and received two incubators!

Oh, and we've kept a Pokemon in a gym for the first time ever!

After a couple of slow days, we had a great day today!

We buddied up with Machop and were able to evolve him into Machoke. We caught our first Hitmonchan . Now we're a few hundred meters away from evolving Clefairy.

The tracking system is a lot better too, has anyone else noticed? We no longer have to walk three times as far as we need.

Was very excited to see the update this morning. However, it has been dreadfully laggy today. Anyone else had this problem?

Brownie the eevee trick works every time for us, last night I transferred the pyro one 700cp across to make 25 candies, then renamed the eevee pyro and it evolved into a 1500cp one. Was most pleased may not work every time for everyone though

I've got seel as my buddy as I'm nearly close to evolving to a Dewgong!

It's been hit and miss for me since the first time with eeves it doesn't hurt to try it

I've got Wartortle as my buddy. Need to catch / hatch some Squirtles though (we do get them locally but not enough) or I'll be walking forever to get my Blastoise.

Up to 102 in the Pokedex now with my first Electrobuzz catch and a Seel evolved into a Dewgong.

Is it true that the Eevee naming trick doesn't work more than once... my kids are insistent that there is no point renaming my best Eevee to get a better Flareon (the Eevee is 300CP better than my current Flareon).
