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

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...

Woohoo! Just gone up to Level 30! Spent the day catching and evolving everything I could for the XP. Grin I was so impatient as I wanted the incubators for the 10k egg which was sitting waiting. I've already tied up my infinity incubator with another 10k, which I'm about 8k through.

We my DS1+ 2 and I went hunting) saw one on Saturday in our wee village. We caught him in a ball but he escaped then we got an error message, I think because mobile signal is pants. :(

It's hard playing in a wee place with no pokestops and not many Pokémon either. 😁

NamelessEnsign · 03/02/2017 18:55

That's hard luck DoctorTwo! I haven't even seen a Snorlax!

DoctorTwo · 03/02/2017 11:32

On Wednesday I was walking the last 200m on my final egg, with only 23 Ultra balls left. I checked the nearby sightings list and there was nowt interesting. I tapped it to close it and there, almost right in front of me was a Snorlax! I may have let out a little yelp and a "fuck me, a Snorlax!" I chucked all 23 balls at it, and it escaped from each of the 6 I actually hit it with. So near and yet so far. Sad

This was in a little park opposite the petrol station at Morrisons in St Albans. Gutted. But at least I now have something other than 5km eggs. Oh yes, 3 of my 9 are 2km...

Hartlepool is like that, Galen! Particularly around the headland.

I know a couple of little spots that always have staryu and Newcastle city centre is always full of clefairies.

GalenJustGalen · 03/02/2017 01:22

I live on top of a magnemite/voltorb hive. Day in, day out. It never changes. Not even when the nests change. I get more XP from evolving magnemites & voltorbs than I do pidgeys & wheedles.

Krappy central around here. More common than weedles!

I often screenshot pokemon at relevant pokestops. I'll see if I can fish a couple off my phone. Have yet to find a Porygon at Parson's Polygon, though (or anywhere, for that matter!)

Kpo58 · 02/02/2017 19:59

I once had a Krabby spawn outside the Fat Crab seafood restaurant that was opening. I haven't seen Krabbys there since they have opened. I wonder if they ended up on the menu...

SomewhatIdiosyncratic · 02/02/2017 18:05

Ditto is great from a Pidgey. Not from a Magikarp! There's a tiny fragment of water in my neighbourhood, so I try to make the most of going to a park with the river, but they're quite rare. I'm up to 339 candies, having walked up 59 of them!

Had quite a good couple of days. I drove out for a run yesterday and got a varied selection and a good pokestop raid. Had to pop into town today so more raiding. Only stopping to get a Magikarp. Town's definitely getting into a state, it's overrun with Rattata! Grin

wheezles · 02/02/2017 16:53

Ditto feels amazing, doesn't it?!

I've still only got one baby, a pichu.

DameDeDoubtance · 02/02/2017 16:51

Congrats on the ditto kpo!

I'm one egg thingy away from a new one, they are spawning at our local skate park so I'm snatching one or two a day and I have a beauty to evolve. Other than that it's pigey central, sigh.

Kpo58 · 02/02/2017 16:16

I'm still only on level 25. It's mainly because of the amount of times Pokémon Go refused to sign me in without taking 5-20 mins or when it logs me out when I said log in and then crashes my phone when I try to turn the AR off.

FeralBeryl · 02/02/2017 13:39

We care Kpo!!
We all have the Ditto belly memories Grin

I'm just under 2000 needed to get to level 33, I'm so pissed off with it all now. I've got all except the regionals and 2 babies (plus the togepi evolution) if they don't sort gen 2 out soon I think I'll lose interest altogether. My next level up after this will prob be 1000000 and with no incentive or anything new to catch along the way, it all seems pointless

Kpo58 · 02/02/2017 11:48

I just caught a Ditto. I needed to tell someone about it. I still feel butterflies. I thought that I was trying to catch a Ratatta, but turned out to be a Ditto instead. I wish that someone in RL cared about this.

wheezles · 01/02/2017 22:04

Ooh glad to find this thread.

I'm still playing- the Christmas Event made me fall back in love and made it to level 26 yesterday!

I still spend a disgusting amount of money on poke balls though.

AbbeyRoadCrossing · 01/02/2017 19:04

I've finally kept a pokemon in a gym for over an hour. I found quite a remote one in the middle of a park. Think it's locked overnight so hopefully will stick around a bit longer.

MuddlingMackem · 01/02/2017 17:11

Oh no, Nameless! Shock

Ooh, Galen, didn't think of that, wouldn't have thought the touchscreen would work through the plastic, but I'll put a ziplock in my pocket for future rain incidents and try it. Cheers! Grin

I went out for my walk and the rain held off, so at least I didn't need it today. :) I now have 37 Togepi candies (started with 22 from the two I hatched) so getting there steadily, and I'm only 45,000XP away from level 30.

GalenJustGalen · 01/02/2017 15:39

When it's raining, I put my phone in a snack-size ziplock baggie and carry on. I'm hardcore.

PickAChew · 01/02/2017 13:16

Ds1 and I both have the crashing problem. Good job I still have another 60km to walk my kabuto!

CantstandmLMs · 01/02/2017 11:55

Arghh nightmare!!

I'm gearing up for a mass evolve to take me into Level 31. Fortunately at 30 I got 3 lucky eggs and have 2 left!
Just have to walking 40km with my Omanyte Confused and I'll have enough candy to include a new one to my dex.

NamelessEnsign · 01/02/2017 11:45

Just bought a lucky egg and I have just done a mass evolve with 7 new types, and loads of critters.

Just realised I forgot to activate the egg 😖

MuddlingMackem · 01/02/2017 10:21

Ah, thanks, myelfnameisffs. I tried it this morning and it still crashed, so yes, hope they can sort it soon. Seems an odd thing to go wrong, but I remember with a previous update that my and others crashed when catching a Weedle, so these things happen, and they fixed that one within a couple of days.

I'm trying to summon up some enthusiasm to go out for my daily walk somewhere, but the weather is awful. I might get a walk but I doubt I'll get to do much Pokemonning if it's raining as my phone screen doesn't like it. Hmm

myelfnameisffs · 01/02/2017 06:25

muddling I reported it too and reading reviews on the play store it seems quite common.

Hopefully gets fixed soon!

SomewhatIdiosyncratic · 31/01/2017 23:37

I've had my second and third Dittos in the last two days. With yesterday's, I'd walked out of my way to claim some blooming Magikarp candy too! Tonight's "Pidgey" was more gratefully recieved Grin

Yesterday I got an Electabuzz for the first time in over 4 months. A few hundred CP stronger than my old one which was one of my first to be over 1000 CP!

I've been knocked out of my gyms today for the first time in about 10 days. At least I've got chance to get back in in the morning and claim my coins ready for another incubator. It seems to have been quiet on the local circuit recently- maybe it's the weather!

I also need to save up for a lucky egg for a mass evolution.
