Well, saw this little one left overnight in a gym. Sad, really... Where are his parents? What were they thinking? Do they work night shifts too?

So many questions...

Seeingas you cant get to it i wish it would be drawn to my lure but it's probably afraid of crossing the irish sea incase it's tail gets wet. Instead I'm getting golden and psyduck. Yay

MakeMyWineADouble · 30/12/2016 23:09

I know it's practically begging me!! its obviously cold and alone 😢

NameSux · 30/12/2016 23:01

The charizard looks like it needs a ball to sleep in doublewine. Poor thing, out in the cold

MakeMyWineADouble · 30/12/2016 22:55

No baby Pokemon here yet ☹️ The starter Pokemon are everywhere though currently being teased by this when I'm baby sitting for my friend 😢

The event is happening in tge town but hasn't reached my house :(. I've got a lure on now so hoping to pick up a few. Got 1 baby out of 7 eggs today and 2 charmanders, 10 bulbasuars,5 squirtles and 2 pikachus in my hour walk (with incense). Good going but not sure I'll have the hundreds needed to evolve by the end of the event :/

TheOtherGalen · 30/12/2016 22:48

Walked a million miles barefoot through the snow and biting wind to hatch my bucket of 5k eggs and got ... no babies, and THREE MEOWTHS IN A ROW. I would've thrown the phone if my survival hadn't been dependent on the tiny amount of heat it gives off as it reams through its battery.

PickAChew · 30/12/2016 22:43

Another Squirtle in the back garden. I'm sensing a pattern, here.

PickAChew · 30/12/2016 22:33

And yes, I;m miffed that I was up to 396 play store credits from google opinion rewards and holding out for that final 4, but now the pack I wanted with the incubators has gone. The 100 red balls is great for DS1, who is crap at spinning when he can, instead of catching any old crap, but i chuck the bloody things out al the time, to make space for better ones!

PickAChew · 30/12/2016 22:28

Well, we just had a squirtle in the back garden, a pikachu next door and a charmander and bulbasaur in sightings. And that, knowing our luck, will sum up this eent for us, in its entirity, though I'm visiting my parents, this weekend, so might get a bit of a change.

CantstandmLMs · 30/12/2016 22:09

As for the boxes...lucky eggs yes but all I care about is lucky eggs and incubators and now there's no incubators in them!

CartwheelGirl · 30/12/2016 22:09

snitcheryoo, it's not that hard, if you know where to look, there are loads of apps spoofing your GPS location, you don't even need to touch PokemonGo app in any way. My local Facebook groups are full of advice. You obviously risk being caught and banned if you spoof but in reality by the time spoofers are caught (when and if they are), they've reached a point where they basically completed the game and no longer care.

I think most people started legit, but some lost patience because it got cold, dark and boring. Also if you're kicked out by spoofers all the time, then you have little chance of progressing through the game in a legitimate way.

ZebraOwl - kids cheat too! Not very young ones, obviously, but teenagers do. I don't think much can be done about it, tbh. It's pretty much impossible to eliminate it entirely, just like shoplifting, littering, hacking, pirate copies and other stuff like that keeps happening. It's a massively multi-player game so it attracts all kinds of people.

When I saw the new opening screen I actually squeeled Blush and actually got out of my PJS and dressed & I went out and caught 2 bulbasaur and about 4 charmander (and 1 squirtle popped up in the living room). Hands are frozen!! ...this game!!

BumWad · 30/12/2016 21:50

I'm so jealous Cartwheel

FrogTime · 30/12/2016 21:49

Oooh I love the new screen!

No bulbasaurs at home though Sad

Still no babies and hatched a magnemite and a caterpie today Angry, the babies were meant to have increased chance since 25th right?
Got an extra 2 10km eggs today, so I've 3 in total now, never ever had that many at once!
Anyone had some good luck with starters tonight?

CartwheelGirl · 30/12/2016 21:48

Loads of everything everywhere Grin I got charmanders, bulbasaurs, squirtles, geodudes, and hatched a baby pokemon, all within 45mins walk. There are new boxes on sale too, which include lucky eggs.

In other news, this is the last day of the Google voucher giveaway competition at Pokemon151 Forums.

if anyone was to contemplate cheating, which I am not, how would they go about it?
Google returns very little, apart from pages of code dumps which will never darken our portals.
They all promise "just enter your password and username and you'll be L40 by Tuesday for free"

Now, why would 'they' be so nice to do that Confused

BumWad · 30/12/2016 21:34

Bloody hell you've got another thread and everything.

I finally got a baby Pokémon yay!

Also been hatching a load of crap.

Haven't spotted any starter Pokemon Hmm

dementedpixie · 30/12/2016 21:23

I have no babies. Hatched 2 nidoran males and a bloody staryu today. Have 7 x 5k eggs in incubators so hopefully will get something better from them. Haven't had a 10k for ages and rarely get a 2k

ednabuckett · 30/12/2016 21:17

Well I hatched some right old crack from a mass incubation a few days ago but then got a random igglybuff then today a pichu! I have to say this has been helped massively by the fact I was very lucky to receive an Apple Watch for chrimbo so I'm walking (pottering around the house is working) enough to hatch them pretty quickly.

Tonight though it was obvious some kind of change had happened as TWO charmander appeared in my garden! I've only ever had one since I started playing the damn game! I hope it continues - aside from those hatches I've had pants catches lately.

I'm holding out for an event to do a mass evolve tho - should I bother? I'm hoping something might happen NYE/NYD?

jennielou75 · 30/12/2016 20:37

I need bulbasaurs!

NamelessEnsign · 30/12/2016 20:32

Still no babies here (another Diglet) but I bought a 250 coin box (with all my gym coins) so I have some incubators!

Same old bumf showing up on my nearby list here, which I'm a little grateful about because I am finally warm!

DameDeDoubtance · 30/12/2016 20:21

New start screen and I see Bulbasaurs!!!!!!!!!!!!! Grin

PickAChew · 30/12/2016 20:17

New start screen and the boxes have completely changed.

Natsku · 30/12/2016 19:59

I cut the tips off the thumb and middle finger on some cheap gloves for playing when I'm out.

TheOtherGalen · 30/12/2016 19:52

I just bought a pair of gloves that have a little flap thing on each pointer finger so I can go out and play without losing digits to frostbite. I am ridiculous.
