I saw a car that looked a lot like pikachu today, it was a little yellow MG, I think I want one!

QueenLizIII · 31/10/2016 14:53

Im doing dratini now. im not going to get in a frenzy. I'll get a few candies and that will be that Grin

ZebraOwl · 31/10/2016 14:42

reddA - it might sound a bit daft, but not only do I not know any different, I was also diagnosed dangerously late, so still get a bit giddy over things like not being in constant pain; and last year they managed to stop me from feeling sick all the time; & I have pretty well-controlled seizures...

Guy's & St Thomas' Trust have free WiFi for patients. GPS goes a bit in Guy's though: I blame the Shard... There are a couple of Pokéstops on the Guy's site IIRC (PokémonGO always seems to be misbehaving when I'm there...) Tommy's is COVERED with them though, & they're quite frequently lured.

I know when PokémonGO first came out children's wards & hospitals were asking people NOT to put lures on nearby Pokéstops: am glad that's changed Smile

Definitely think there should be permalures on all hospital Pokéstops. It would make those times you're stuck in hospital & well enough to be bored so much more bearable...

nuttelladreams · 31/10/2016 14:19

My local hospital has a message near the children's ward asking people to put lures on the two pokestops nearby in order to give the kids some joy. I think it's a lovely idea.

Natsku · 31/10/2016 14:06

My local hospital has a pokestop just out of reach from inside - so annoying!

reddA · 31/10/2016 13:21

Sounds gruelling Zebra :( They should have pokestops with free constant lures on at all hospitals - would definitely take peoples minds off treatment or long boring stays - might increase the blood pressure though when they keep bloody popping out of the balls or poofing! lol - Take care x

ZebraOwl · 31/10/2016 13:08

Thank you 😊

I have a hospital appointment on Thursday afternoon so will definitely get to play then: Tommy's is brilliant for Pokémon Grin last time I was seen in the pain management clinic the nurse specialist had to go & look for something in her office - she seemed a bit surprised to return & find me catching a magikarp in the consulting room Blush Cardiology is BRILLIANT because you're right down by the river & close to the gardens as well

I just wish PokémonGO had existed last year when I had to spend ages as an Inpatient. I bet I'd have mustered the courage to leave the ward sooner after my first NJ tube if I could go & catch Pokémon... (Am in fact comforting self with prospect of Pokémon-catching any time another NJ tube gets mentioned... Because I'm a grown-up. Who has never bought things on PokémonGO as a reward for being good at hospital/other medical appointments. No. Because that would be ridiculous. Even through my B12 injections HURT & I have to have them every 2 months & I'm not allowed them in my arms after August's one burst a blood vessel -& my bleeding disorder meant it looked VERY dramatic - & ripped a muscle. Sitting is quite sore due to a lack of padding. Add in the bruising... well let's just say I deserve to be able to hatch ALL the eggs at once...)

Good luck with your PokémonGOing lovely people Halloween Grin

reddA · 31/10/2016 12:30

Wish I was closer to London too!! I levelled up to 33 thanks mainly to Gastly grinding, it took 15 days to do 750000xp so averaged 50000xp per day. Only 1 MILLION to get to level 34 Hmm

Walked my 1400cp dragonair and evolved him yesterday to make dragonite number 3, he's not quite 3000 though as i've run out of candy. Walking bulbasaur for the last day as they are so hard to find up here and i'd like another Venusaur. Egg hatches have been crap during the event.

I should really do some work today but it's the last day and the sun is shining Blush Looking forward to the return of normal pokemon tomorrow - I don't like change! Confused

If London didn't entail a flight I'd be the same!

So tempted to go to Glasgow tonight but it's a few hours away. I want those Bulbasaurs! Rural living sucks for this!

nuttelladreams · 31/10/2016 10:40

Poke it's embarrassing isn't it. I've done the same on sat and the only people I've told is you lot!

Icouldbeknitting · 31/10/2016 10:31

I've not been out of the house since Friday as I have had the lurgy. It's bright and sunny and I must be getting better as I'm thinking of putting my boots on and going for a walk, I could do with another couple of pidgeys to match to all this candy.

I'm trying not to think about the walking opportunities I've wasted by being ill during quad candy, I got a day or so in before everything stopped for me so it's better than I would otherwise have had.

PokemonGo · 31/10/2016 10:14

Hope you feel better soon Zebra

I can't quite believe I'm doing it but I'm on my way to London to go Pokemon hunting. I'm much too old and sensible but .....double candies and quadruple KM and ...... Charmanders in Green Park. (I hope!) The temptation was too much for me.

I've got my comfy shoes on and I going to hunt those Pokemon down. Grin

nuttelladreams · 31/10/2016 10:08

Funny I've also got more pidgey candy than I can evolve.
Have collected about 60 to evolve and am in two minds on whether to do it tonight to get double candy when transferring out or wait until I have 80.

As for pokedex I have 12 left to collect, 2 of which I am ready to evolve (charizard and weepinbell) so that leaves me 10.

4 I can only hatch or catch - lapras, hitmonlee, tangela and chancey.

6 can be evolved
Alakazan - need 41 candy
Nidoking- need 4
Ivassaur - need 79
Dragonair - need 18
Eggxecute - need 23 (but only have one so would like to catch one more)
Muk- need 22

So the 6 are doable. The 4 seem impossible as all my eggs are so rubbish I'm losing patience.

LongtimeLurkerNowPokemonHunter · 31/10/2016 09:34

Sorry to hear you're having issues zebra

LongtimeLurkerNowPokemonHunter · 31/10/2016 09:33

Typo- reduces me to 125km not 100 Blush

LongtimeLurkerNowPokemonHunter · 31/10/2016 09:32

Done some pokemon geeking out this morning.

I have two still to get: dragonite and Venosaur.

I have a good Bulbasaur that needs 51 candy to get to Venosaur or a poor ivysaur which needs 27.

Thanks to the event, dragonair needs 35 candy to get to dragonite.

At event pace, I need to walk Bulbasaur 38.25km or catch 7. Tomorrow this increases to 103km and 13 catches.

Dragonair needs 43.75 at event pace, or 5 catches. This increases to 175km or 9 catches tomorrow.

Realistically, I can aim for another 10km today on dragonair which makes me 8 candies closer. I'm also contemplating transferring my only current dragonite too for the second candy. If I do this, I reduce myself to 100km (lots of ifs and buts!).

Pleased that I've reduced the distance so much, just greedy. Glad I focused on dragonair for this and miraculously found Muk as I'm in a much better position than I was to start with!

Epic post, sorry! Blush I may be a bit too overinvested.

ZebraOwl · 31/10/2016 08:51

I don't think I'm going to be well enough to go out today. I'm meant to be upset about the general functional ability business & cardiacWEIRD & All The Rest, I know, but mostly I mind the lack of PokémonGO. Unf.

LumpySpacedPrincess · 31/10/2016 07:37

It is isn't it queen, I actually have more pidgey candy than pidgeys as I hatched some. I have 73 to evolve, gonna have an evolving session after we've combined trick or treating with a last halloween pokewalk. I'm hoping to notch up enough candy to evolve my Geodude. Happy Halloween everyone! Halloween Smile

QueenLizIII · 31/10/2016 01:15

I made about 50000xp from the evolves.

Here are my newbies.

Weird to be evolving cubones and meowths instead of pidgeys.

I'm caught 139 but that includes tauros's from a holiday so I still need;
muk (need 18 more candies)
venusaur (need 53 more candies)
charlizard (need 55 more candies)
Golum (need 65 more candies)

I don't think that's impossible. 😀

So far,
Captured 6874 Pokemon
Evolved 1167
Visited 9215 pokestops
Walked 952. (Some might be in my car or on my bike) 😂
Hatched 264 eggs
Battled 897 gym battles
Trained 469
Highest CP Arcanine 2540
Spent £11.15 of real money
Not used pokevision except for that one time 🙈

LongtimeLurkerNowPokemonHunter · 31/10/2016 00:40

Stops on the first, I read 10am our time but could be wrong

IhatchedaSnorlax · 31/10/2016 00:30

I think that might be happening in my area too tumpy & I have to say I hate it - I can see why it's good if you're in that group, but it's crap if you're not & it's now so difficult to get into gyms that we've stopped bothering to try & it's taken a lot of the enjoyment out of playing for my DSs. It must also be crap for casual players so I wish Niantic would do something to stop a particular team having a stronghold for so long!

I think it all stops after tomorrow, so not sure if you'll get double candies on Tuesday.

tumpymummy · 31/10/2016 00:22

By the way does anyone know when this Halloween event actually ends? Will I still be able to get double candies and extra buddy candies on Tuesday morning? Have been away and unable to play so really want to walk my eggecutor but will be busy a lot of tomorrow with Halloween stuff. Hoping I can fit in a long wAlk Tuesday morning?

tumpymummy · 31/10/2016 00:19

jellywitch there's a Facebook page for Instinct in the town I live in. It works really well with different people covering different gyms. If one of our stronghold level 10 gyms is under attack a message goes out on Facebook. Or if someone takes a gym and levels up so there are free spaces again a message is posted for people to come and fill. I think it only works though because I live in a big city. It's great fun though feeling like part of a team! They even had a social get together where they all met in a pub (with pokestop of course) but I didn't go along!

LongtimeLurkerNowPokemonHunter · 31/10/2016 00:19

Just made it onto 29 snorlax wondering if I'll get Venosaur and dragonite at 30?!
