Pokemon Go #3 The Cubone's connected to your...

Or maybe I should just evolve 5 charmanders for the XP!

Would it be silly to evolve a second Charizard? I have enough candy and should have even more by the end of today. My first one is 98% perfect, powered right up and no good in gyms in Pokemon Go anyway (although I reckon at 2000CP I can get it high enough in the hierarchy to stick for a bit in home gyms).

Doctor a man in our thread
I see middle aged blokes all the time. In fact there is one who is always taking gyms near me - at least he's on the same team.

Saw a few guys with suits and briefcases in green park the other day and that was funny!

I've told dh I'm meeting a friend for a drink after work tomorrow. I'll spend 2 hours in green park. I'll come clean eventually!

45 and female, started playing with dd then kinda took over when she lost interest. She still walks every evening with me and goes on pokehunts but I get ditched near a poke stop when she finds a Game store.

Don'tBe talk me through the favouritng when your evolving again please

I have a physical list of my evolutions which I go through alphabetically, use the clock and never check back to the egg. When I evolve I tick the green tick before I go on to the next one, what happens if I favourite instead?

Doctor there are loads of blokes playing, when we chased down our Gyarados we were wading through blokes.

I'm 35 000 away from level 26 and we're off out today on a veeeerrrry ssslllooooow bus, happy days!

Doctor, I've seen plenty of men out your sort of age playing (not all of them with kids). I had a (mild mannered) run in the other week with a couple about my age (I'm late 30s) who were out taking gyms (my gyms!), having left their kids at home. I play locally with another mum my sort of age (we are more keen than the kids to be honest).

I've just had to take a gym back on the way to work. Also expanded my Pokemon storage as I haven't had time to appraise and transfer everything and I am on my way back into London again today. Working but hoping for good hunting too.

AIBU is a very scary place!

I'm 30 and female. Loved pokemon when I was around 11/12. Probably my pokemon cards are still in my parents' attic.

Queen I think that's wise tbh. It's a scary place!

Enid I am a bit scared of AIBU.

Get yourself over to aibu Queen and get it off your chest. People often sneer at stuff they don't understand. It's like they get worried someone is enjoying something without them. Everyone likes different stuff so it's ridiculous to be sneery about anything. Especially when it's as harmless as this.

Mid 30's. It helped take my mind off being long term ill. Really helped in fact. Not so much now as being ill is stopping me going out as much but it's still nice to follow what everyone else is up to.

One of my friends sneered at me for it. I told her to fuck off. Mind you my issues with her are for another thread. She is now an ex friend

I am 48 and female! I started playing pokemon go about a week after it was launched as it was something my teenage son (15) was doing and I thought it would be fun to play together. It was to start off with and a couple of times we battled gyms together which was fun, with him giving me tips. But he's stopped playing now. I am so glad this thread is around as darent admit to any of my friends that I am playing, they would think I'm mad! Hubby doesn't get it at all!

spun also 28, and chucked my pokemon cards not long ago. Gutted.

Im half way through 28, 6 pokemon to go! One is ready to evolve, and two are close so hoping to hit level 29 at 139 in the pokedex. I just can't get my buddy to recognise me walking. Such a waste on the boosted candy.

Oops I forgot to name change (again!)
It's me PokemonGo

Dilite. I evolved 79 Pokemon one of which was a new one.

People on Reddit get more than I do but I can't see how I can do it any faster.

I favourite all the ones I want to evolve and then I set a timer and the lucky egg at exactly the same time then get to work.

As soon as each one evolves I I click the favourite star as I close it. That way I just keep evolving which ever Pokemon is in the top left hand side of my screen. As I have the timer running on another screen I don't have to check if the egg has run out.

Aaand on other news I've spent £3.99 this evening. Bought 3 incubators and upgraded Pokemon storage to 400. Not been able to cash on any gyms today. They all seem to be high level and I can't get in. More people are definitely playing due to this Halloween thing.

I wonder what they will do for xmas.

I'm 29 and haven't played a game for this long since Candy Crush, although I am mostly playing for dd.

I'm a 'woman' (still don't think of myself as one) of 28. Myself and my best friend were heavily into Pokemon cards when we were around 11/12. Wish I'd kept them all now! This game is so nostalgic for me, I'm absolutely addicted and not ashamed to say it!!

Indeed - I'm 57 (can't actually believe that). My DD was born the year Pokémon started and has been a big fan all her life. I remember a lovely club someone started when she was early teens for Pokemon players, such nice kids. But now I'm beating her! [evil cackle].

Just out of curiosity - are we all women on this thread? And how long are people?

I'm 42. First time in my life I've been so into a game for so long.

Queen - awesome new ones. I want them. And you've flown past 28! Oh my. I'm 30k into 28 so 10% still.

How onbearth did you get 80 000 from an evolve session? Did you have loads of new pokemon to add?

I like to think I'm enthusiastic rather than obsessive. I just get really into things. I also love scrabble and tennis and can be 'obsessive' about playing those too. I'm good at finding things I enjoy. My kids think I'm a bit bonkers but in an affectionate and not too patronising way.. We all had an absolute blast playing PokemonGo in the summer with lots of 1am gym runs driving around the countryside so I can blame them for getting me hooked.
My kids grew up on Pokemon and will still play cards or Pokemon Stadium on the N64 even though they are meant to be sophisticated (haha) adults.

Even if we are all a bit daft we are not doing harm to anyone and it's healthy and dirt cheap. I'm sure DH rather I play PokemonGo than do other traditional naff housewife'y pastimes like getting my hair done or going for lunch.

It is clever how the game appeals to so many age groups. I wonder if they anticipated that 52 year old women like me would be playing.

I just levelled up to level 31 with a lucky egg mass evolve I got 80,000 exactly including one new Pokemon - an Alakazam

I forgot to look how much XP I need to get to level 32 . Probably best

There is talk of daily quests!
