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

Interesting to see that your only bronzes are Magikarp and dragon type, Longtime. I wonder if anyone has managed to get a gold for the Dragon types.

I still have five bronzes, including those two.

That's true tumpy but it's annoying, over there they're as common as Mr Mimes (who I see multiple times a day) so if I went to these places I'd catch several easy...but I have no plans on going there this year and I'm a completist and it's bugging me!
I know someone in Aus and I guess someone will travel to Asia at some point...but we'll see if she manages this first.

I'm missing my game though!

cantstand I have a friend in Oz at the moment and wondered about getting her to catch my a kangastan. But have decided that kind of defeats the point of the game- the fun is in me catching the Pokemon, not just having them.

And yes I have a battery pack too. Wouldn't be able to play without it as my phone won't hold a charge for more than 1/2 hour if I am playing pokemon go. My battery charger is 5200. Am even thinking of getting another for when that one runs down. That's one thing this game has done- knackered my phone battery.

spiderlight I'm playing on an iPhone 5s and haven't had the glitchy problems recently. Only problem is Pokemon jumping out of balls all the time, but that's not the phones fault. Do we know if charmanders etc are around all day today? Just need a couple more!

HRH i have a portable battery charger i take out with me. Bought it on Amazon for about £15. It can hold 2 full charges of my battery (S4 mini) and is good to top up when out hunting.

Soubriquet thanks for the update, i don't think i'd ever hatched an evolution so no impact here but useful to know.

No extra Pokemon today as not been out yet but will do later (although not a long session).

I've currently got my friend who lives in Panama trying to get me a Tauros...I'm not even sure they're there but she said her friend said they are.

I know a friend who did this and got a soft ban so I am expecting one. I just hope she catches the bloody thing! She's never played before and I haven't heard from her since last night..which means I can't log on today (too risky).

Have you seen the egg hatching has changed again?

You can no longer hatch evolved Pokémon

These are my medals so far muddling
Prioritising catching fire and steel today
Seems more manageable that way!

Ah, yes, itsazoohere, have you got gold for all of the medals? Has anyone actually managed that?

And now another Nidoran. Argh.

Golduck is evolution of psyduck

I have just caught chameleon

One away from evolving pikachu and one away from evolving staryu

Caught a venasaur today and hatched 2 smoochums-v cute!

Just trying to complete the medals!

More crap eggs today. Zubat Nidoran Goldeen charmander and sandshrew. I've hatched so many and no togepi, Cleffa or smoochum!

I caught a golduck today, which my son tells me is an evolution of .... No idea.

Do you all have a spare battery for playing PG? It eats my battery chronically.

itsazoohere, maybe you need to find ways of raising money for foreign holidays so you can collect the overseas ones you're missing.

Or you could concentrate on powering up the ones you have and becoming the local gym mafiosa.

Congratulations, itsazoohere! That's amazing! I'm sorry it feels deflating, though. Maybe you need a new goal, like, get one of everything AND each has a CP greater than 1000? Or something equally impossible.

We're having a respectable snowstorm here so I gathered up my brand-new driver's license and drove down to a nearby parking lot to practice skidding. I'd just like to go on record as saying skidding is really, really fun. Also an excellent way to get the snow off the top of the car.

The reason this is pertinent is because it's also a fantastic way to rack up distance on Pokemon eggs! Ha! Screw walking for miles in a blizzard. I'm just gonna keep going down to the parking lot.

Sooo....you might all hate me for this, but I have caught them all. Apart from the ones overseas, obviously.
And it's really deflating! I thought it would feel better than this!
Now what??? Do I need a new obsession?
(Cleaning might be a good one to start with! )

I thought the babies in the eggs were only as long as the free incubators, which finished a few days ago, but I'm very happy to be corrected if they're still out there. Crossing fingers for the other two now.

Got a 2k egg at some point today from a pokestop, so I'm hoping for a Magikarp. LOL!

Has the game been really really crashy for anyone else today? I don't know if it's just my phone, but I gave up on it after about five restarts because my character wasn't walking.

I think I need a new phone, actually. Any recommendations for not-hideously-expensive Android phones that run the game well? Mine is a Samsung Galaxy Core Prime but it's agonisingly slow at even loading the game and it doesn't do the AR (which I wouldn't bother much with anyway but it would be good for the occasional photo).

Has the babies eggs finished? I thought it was just the startermon which were finishing?Today wasn't a great day in terms of Pokemon hunting, just a few Bulbasaurs and Squirtles and 2.5k of 5k egg. Vulpix is currently my buddy but might need to switch it out to evolve some of the pokemon i have closer to evolving. Only just hit the 100 candies of Magikarp and like muddling got excited to catch one the other day as hadn't seen one in a while for it to be ditto! So frustrating

pidgey Thank you for making me snort with laughter! Best description of a Grimer/Trump ever.

Thought I'd missed out on any more of the babies, then walking home from the supermarket my 5k egg hatched my first Pichu. Yay!

Only missing out on Magby and Togepi, so not bad going. :)

Good description Pidgey- my Grimer is my buddy too!

Haven't done any pokemonning today- DH took my phone and the dog for a walk and despite my phone saying he'd walked over 5k, my egg was at 0.7!
