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

Yes I caught a Porygon last night but that was my first for weeks.

If they made pokemon easier to find and then you could catch them all, then they could change the game and add more.

But just making it utterly impossible to find anything good or then you just get one and cant evolve it as you have no candies....I am getting tired of it.

I reached level 20 two days ago and have already burned through my new incubators. From what I can see that's it until level 25 unless I spend money.

I feel like all I'm doing now is grinding for candy, I've had a few new Pokemon recently but they've all either been evolved or hatched, I never see any new ones to catch. I'm hoping Niantic bring out either some new Pokemon to catch or some new challenges as the game is getting pretty repetitive.

And once you get the higher CPs you can power them up even higher.

Dont waste your stardust on level 20. Once you get a bit higher, the CP starts jumping dramtically from anything you catch, so you naturally get higher evolves. I caught a Pidgey with over 400CP and evolved it and evolved it again and now I have a Pidgeot with over 1500CP and is one of my most powerful.

Wait until at least level 25 before you start using stardust.

I have squirtle as my buddy as I need one more candy to evolve. I could just cash in my cp 10 one but he was my starter (who I've called carl)

I got a Lapras in the back garden this morning.. I also forgot to put it on this am on school run..So walked about 2.5k just taking children to school..No pikachu candy from my buddy and could of hatched an egg.

You only get incubators every five levels unless it has changed?

I am now on level 22. Did a mass pidgey evolve last night which game me the necessary 15k xp to move up.

I am finding it so creepy seeing my avatar's head walk through the pokestops.

Last night I saw all of my town's gyms turn red in seconds amd alll of them are now level 9. How do they do these things?

Make the most if your levelling up 'gifts'. Couldn't believe it today. I have spent weeks levelling up from level 21 to 22. Finally did it today and got f**k all, not even a poke ball. Was hoping for an incubator as I only have the one infinity one left. Getting fed up now that it takes so long to get through levels, the amount of XP you have to reach is ridiculous.
Some of you are really lucky with yr gyms too. Where I live I never stay in more 2 -3 hours. Have never managed to get in 2 gyms at the same time. Nearly managed to today but both of my defenders both got booted out half an hour before my 21 hr timer ran out.
There was space in 2 gyms I could see from my house in my colour tonight (first time ever), but it was after. 11pm and one of them was in the middle of a park in amongst dark trees so really wouldn't have been a safe place to go. But worringly I considered it until common sense prevailed!

Oh just wait. A fucking low level Pidgey needs 6 balls the higher you get. It is so annoying.

but then i caught a 600cp Eevee with one ball. it is so random.

Finally on level 20 and ooh lots of goodies - an ultra ball!

Only thing is it seems harder and harder to catch Pokémon now I'm at a higher level - I'm using at least 3-4 balls per catch but even then sometimes they run away! Anybody else noticed this?

Yes LBOCS2 it is so annyoing. Most of the buddies need 3k or 5k for one fecking candy.

The only thing you can do is evolve all the shit all of the time but that gets dull.

Queen, I think I caught one and hatched two so I ended up with lots of candy like that. I 'buddied' the last four. It's not a particularly high level one.

It's mainly that I hardly ever see shadows any more and I'm miles off evolving anything again because they all need SO many candies.

Also my GPS seems to have messed up or the app has.

I left it running on the bus so I could drive by pokestops and collect.

I put a new 5k egg on the boil and when I got off the bus it had registered 2k travelled. It was going too fast to count as walking. Not that I am complaining.

It must vary depending on where you live as I have never seen an Ekans or a shadow.

That would be huge for me.

*arbok.

Evolved a magneton and finally got my last candy so have an Arbuk. Yay!

Getting a bit bored now tbh. I never see anything different or interesting.

I have been having much better 5k eggs.. My egg today hatched a Tangela and caught first Omanyte..very pleased.

My regulars are becoming a bit better quality.

I have had a load of Squirtles and Eevees lately.

I have enough to evolve a Paras but will wait for tomorrow as Clerfairy is my buddy and need 2 more candies to evolve.

Built up enough of the usual rubbish to have an evolve session.

Bit of a crap day but then this shadow showed up and I found it. Shit CP though:

Not posted for a while as I've been busy with work. Change in weather and earlier nights have also curtailed my Pokemon fun.

I've seen and caught 134. I also have two gyms that reliably churn me coins every day. They're at a National Trust house and one is based out of the ice house, about 500 metres from the main house. Kerching!
