Pokemon Go #6: Where pokemon babies are abandoned in gyms at freezing temperatures

There used to be a Kabuto nest on my bus route home. I think it's something else now, but I snaffled up enough to get my Kabutops a while back.

Porygons, though - where the bloody hell are they? Never seen, never hatched, never even spotted on Nearby. If I hadn't seen one in a gym once I'd refuse to believe they existed.

Just read on a local FB group that there's a Kabuto nest at Bents Park in South Shields. Yay!

Glasgow is a bit of a trek for me as I am in Kent. Although that would get all my eggs hatched for sure! Who knows, might even get a 10k egg on my way there.

There's a few kabuto nests in Glasgow for anyone looking who is nearby?

I did catch a wild pikachu playing with the snow in my garden tonight.

I'm on level 29 now- it has taken me since the halloween to level up, so at this rate I should reach level 30 by June. 133 in pikedex with a few ready to evolve. My current buddy is a diglet as it needs the least amount of candies, then it will be duduo, vulpix, eggxecute and some other guy. I still don't have an aerodactil or a kabuto as well as a few others whose names currently elude me.

Dull not full.

Interesting. Today was the first day in 6 months I couldn't really be bothered to play. I liked the extra incubators and the babies from recent events but the game now seems a full grind. It sounds like some others feel the same.

Think you're right about the slant against rural spots. Sick of pidgeys/rats/ghastleys and nonsense

Pidgey, I've just levelled up to 29 too and only need Tangela, Aerodactyl, Snorlax and Kabutops to complete the Eurodex. I've hatched about a dozen 5k eggs in the past week or so but a Tangela still eludes me.

I've been using the game as a walking app from the off, that's why I started playing, so I like seeing the buddy candy climb up, albeit slowly at the moment as I'm also buddying Kabuto. I started with 17 candies and now have 32 in a couple of weeks, so it is starting to feel achievable, although some of that mileage was on the bus and car.

That's nice, TrashPanda, and well done, Longtime. :)

I am level 27 and feel the same Pidgey.

I have 490 pokecoins.. I did put myself on 2 gyms level 7 and 5 yesterday so I am on 4 gyms in places that don't get taken often.. 1 more often than the others.

Not really a lot to do..

Local group posted new nest movements and nothing I wanted anywhere.. so no motivation to do anything. I hope they release some more gen 2 soon ..

When / what might the next event be? That might liven things up?

Me too Pidgey, I'm using it as a walking app now. I catch one in the morning, spin a pokestop to keep my streak going and I'm trying to fill the gaps in my dex by buddying up.That's about it though, I am surrounded by pidgeys, rats and weedles. Sometimes that's all the nearest pokestops have, hardly motivating me to get out and about.

I'll keep plodding on but for now the buzz has gone for me, it's like the game is tilted so heavily against rural players that it becomes unplayable. Zero 10 k eggs, well 7 in 29 levels, just a bit crap really.

I'll keep playing and keep plodding though.

DS was very excited this afternoon because our 10K egg hatched into this.

I'm losing heart a bit. I've levelled up to 29 and now only need a kabutops, lapras and aerodactyl to complete my euro dex. I'm walking a kabuto but as it's 5k per candy and I need 47 of them it feels a bit pointless. Only catching and hatching rubbish from eggs too.

More rubbish hatches but got my steel and fire gold this week, aiming for rock next (24 to go!)

Suddenly going to London on Sunday, hope I get a chance to do a little pokemoning

Sounds like fun, ednabuckett. Apart from the cold beach.

Soz for the essay!!

Hi all - haven't posted for ages. I've got 4 of the babies (2 x pichu) but most of my hatches are pants. I have stacks to evolve but am holding out for another event. Don't know why - I think it's wishful thinking! I'm starting to fill up with pokes so I need to do something.

Anyway, my 6yo DD has got right into pogo. I think I mentioned before she's using an old phone to play and it was only a few weeks ago it occurred to me I could put her on my hotspot and she could come out hunting with me. Well she's been getting some real results! Level 16 already. She caught a charmeleon during the last event (which ran away from me), then on NYE a lickitung appeared at my house which she caught (that also bloody ran away from me) ... then with the handful of eggs she got she hatched a bloody Togepi! How?!

Despite all this we have a good little system going now where when I'm driving her home from school she's monitoring the nearby's. Tonight, when chasing a ponyta, which never materialised, we caught a sandslash which was a new one for both of us and then after catching a magicarp, another randomly appeared in the same spot - only 10 cp - caught it and it turned into the first ditto catch for us both. Well happy.

Fun as this sounds this chase for the bloody ponyta culminated on the beach in a bracing wind, in the dark, with an unhappy 3 year old in tow! Parent of the year!!!

Woah.... spooky snitcheryoo!

Finally evolved a Dugtrio today now walking Geodude. Just 2 candies left until I get my Golem.

Evolved this little trio today.

Also took a gym and prestiged it really quick using advice from here and silph road. Used under half CP battlers of lowest 'mon and yep, powered it up 1k every round to L4. I would have kept going if I had the time. Took me 20 mins.

I have 2 5200mAH chargers, now from a full battery I can hunt for about 9 hours solid. Not that I'd ever think of doing that. The only things I caught of note today was an Abra, so I'm now 57% of the way to Alakazam and a Doduo, which means I can evolve Dodrio..
