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

Everybird I dont get it either!

I'm gutted. I had a spawn spot in my house. It wasnt very prolific, normally approx 8 pokemon a day (mostly drowzees and clefairies recently). However since all the nests/spawns changed 2 days ago mine has completely disappeared. Now I'd be happy if even a pidgey or spearow spawned, but there's zip all.

I'm living in a pokemon desert now, will have to try Incense when I've finished with all the moving and unpacking.

Really don't understand the IV thing, or how you find it out.

I'm 3 Candy off my Raichu, hopefully get it today

Evolved Graveler yesterday and caught Machoke the day before as long as I get one new one a day at this point because I'm on 103.

I need about 15k to get to level 22.. I still have a lucky egg saving for a marathon evolving session.

60 is about my limit.

I upgraded my pokemon storage once and bag storage a few times. Been seeing some different pokemon since last update - pidgey/Weedle/venonat spawn spot now spawns shellder, and been seeing ivysaur nearby. All the best/rarest ones are on the paper factory grounds though so can't get them :(

Frogtime some people wait until they have about 60 evolutions to do, but I'm too impatient and my pokemon storage is filling up so I am going to do one soon. I've saved up about 30. I label them all as favourites so that they are easier to find quickly. Have a lucky egg that I am going to set off at the same time. Unfortunately I only have 1 left after that and since I have only just reached level 22 it will be years before I get anymore again from levelling up. I'll also do it soon because I'm getting a bit bored of the game now and hopefully will provide some excitement for half an hour! It's a treat for when I have finished some work that I have to do.

Nutella, I've only got one lapras. I was just lucky to be in the right place at the right time and that it had great CP, HP and IVs.

You know what I would like to see? A facility to message other players via the app. I see the same team mystic usernames in the gyms locally and would to be able to band us together properly to tackle nearby villages! It would also be useful like today when I have left 3 open slots in local gyms, to be able to ping a message round, asking team mates to pop a Pokemon in the gap ASAP. I don't always check all my regular gyms out but would divert to them if I had had a shout out to do so.

I'm so jealous of all these Lapras!!! I've not even ever seen a shadow of one.

My best lucky egg session got me 75k and that was including 6 or 7 new ones. Nowadays I only have one or two new ones per session so the best I've managed is 69k.

It was my Mum that found the Lapras as I was driving luckily I didn't crash the car. It was in a road a few hundred metres from the harbour. I don't use pokevision so it was a really good find.

I found another one in the wild before but it ran away and I have hatched 3 others. Today's Lapras was only 396 CP so I was both happy and disappointed 😂

Wow poke what an amazing day. Where did you find a Lapras???

Thanks for sharing what you have done with bag upgrades. I've decided I'll do the Pokemon first and then the bag. I'm also not spending any more money (spent 7.98 at the beginning) so need to collect coins.

I upgraded the bag to 450 and the number of Pokemon to 300. That's just about OK at the moment (L24; 111 in the pokedex).

It was a pretty good day today making the most of the new nests and spawn sites. I caught a few Pinsirs and an Omanyte. Also a Muk. All firsts. Plus my second elekrabuzz, which was quite exciting.

Has anyone else noticed fewer pidgeys, weedles and caterpies since the upgrade? Still no drowsee shortage though!

I have found extra Pokemon storage helpful on the higher levels as it takes so my xp to level up you need the max possible form each lucky egg to even make a dent so being able to store enough rubbish to evolve and not have the worry about missing the rarer things you need makes it easier. That said it's also increasingly boring as you level up so while I spent real money in the beginning I would only spend poke coins on it now

I bought extra Pokemon storage and extra item storage. I spent £3:16 when I first downloaded the game on increasing each by 50. I've since increased my item storage to 500 using pokecoins -
I think it's worth it especially at higher levels when the Pokemon are harder to catch so you can use up loads of balls very quickly.

I've just spent a few days on the coast and have had a very productive time. There seemed to be loads of great Pokemon.

Today I caught a Lapras, a porygon, a slobro, a doduo, 2X poliwhirl, a koffing, eevees, 2X magnimite, a 200CP magicarp with top stats (So happy - it's the best I've ever caught ), 2X pichachu, jigglypuffs, a growlith, lots of voltorbs, a tentacool plus some of the normal stuff.

I missed a ponyta and an electrode.

I wasn't even pokemon'ing that much. I was on a pier, a beach and a harbour. Looking back at the list it's easily the best haul I've ever had. There was one lured pokestop but that's all.

Imagine if I'd had any incense left.

I also cashed out 8 gyms 💰💰💰💰💰

The absolute best thing though was training up my 79 year old Mum to play for me while I was driving. She was catching Pokemon like a pro. 😂

Same here re being bored of repetitiveness. Nothing new. Have enough candy to evolve pikachu but as I've only got one and its cp11 I won't evolve it. Now I've got machoke as my buddy- I'm on 82 and trying to get to 100.

Quick question- has anyone bought extra Pokemon storage? I'm finding just before an evolve session I'm very close to my limit (which is 300 already) so I'm thinking 350. Worth it?

Disappointment were a 2k Rattata egg and a 5k Ghastly egg

You probably used Stardust to get that Hypno to over 1000CP?

When you get to about level 24, the drowzees you catch can be over 600CP.
I caught one at 683 and evolved it into a 1439 Hypno. In that case you would then discard your 1000 Hypno that you have used stardust on.

Had an ok day today. Got some new stuff. Evolved a Paras and a Clefairy to new ones. Hatched my first ever Ekans.

Caught a wild Duodo which I've never seen before.
Saw a Pikachu but couldn't find him.
There seem to be Eevee's everywhere now.

Just had a massive evolve session. 9 Rats, 15 Pidgeys and a load of other stuff.

Got a new Jolteon from evolving and Eevee.

This morning, quick play on way to work, I got peed on by a dog as I sat catching a Venonat.

Hoped it was lucky, but my 5km Egg hatched a bloody Staryu!
