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...

Gateshead was resolutely blue when I passed through, this morning. The interchange doesn't seem to have changed for weeks.

spiderlight · 30/01/2017 13:57

Caught my first Omanyte yesterday - first new thing for ages. I was at a sports tournament with DS and mine spawned inside the hall, but I had to go trailing round outside in the pouring rain with no coat to get one for him because his phone was saying 'GPS not found' indoors. Seem to have found a nest though, as there were several others in 'Nearby' the next time we looked.

IhatchedaSnorlax · 30/01/2017 12:33

Very true Pick & since then I've caught 2 more Snorlax & hatched a Lapras, so not too bad really!

Our gyms aren't changing hands much either but unfortunately we're not benefiting from that as struggling to knock them down. V annoying.

MuddlingMackem · 30/01/2017 12:06

Instinct are taking over all the gyms around here too it seems, Eating, which, since I'm Team Mystic, is damned annoying. Grin

EatingMyWords · 30/01/2017 11:48

Thanks Mackem and Pick.

Our gyms are changing less too Dillite. But our instinct lot are still keen, so I've been in a few gyms for longer lately too.

Dillite2 · 30/01/2017 09:55

I am barely playing lately. Still on level 29, 90k to go until level 30.

We went for a walk and hatched 2km egg which was a Cleffa. The most exciting thing to happen for ages!

I have also noticed that a lot less people are playing around here as I have been in 2 gyms for a week now- they usually change daily.

jennielou75 · 30/01/2017 05:58

Level 32 750,000 to get......not sure I will keep going now.

PickAChew · 29/01/2017 23:59

Yeah, but YOUHATCHEDASNORLAX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IhatchedaSnorlax · 29/01/2017 23:51

We only ever had one baby too - very annoying!

PickAChew · 29/01/2017 23:49

Still wanting:

Venusaur (stupid me - squirtles all over, yesterday, but no bulbs)#
Chansey (Had one in sightings at home the other day, but saw it too late)
Porygon
Kabutops (one got away, months ago and slowly walkig the candy)
Snorlax
Omastar (next on the walking list)
Dragonite (94 candy, but need 125 as my Dragonaire is teeny tiny)

les than 50K off level 31, though.

Still only one baby.

IhatchedaSnorlax · 29/01/2017 23:43

This dropped off my Threads I'm On - so annoying!

Still on level 29 with a long way to go to level 30 but after spending yesterday in London, we caught a Porygon & walked our Kabuto buddy enough to get a kabutops - they're the first new ones we've had in months!

Now buddying an Abra to get an Alakazam but it's a long way to go!

PickAChew · 29/01/2017 23:27

Never caught a wild Tangela, though. Only ever hatched them.

PickAChew · 29/01/2017 23:26

Eating, dratini are back in Durham city centre, particularly on the riverside. Theree's a pokestop on the riverside near leazes bowl roundabout that usually has staryu and psyduck and occasionally dratini and, this migration, the dratini are there.

When they're there, they often appear in or around the marketplace, too.

PidgeyfinderGeneral · 29/01/2017 20:54

Nests changed last week I believe. I use Reddit and the PG London Facebook page but most of the decent nests seem to be west.

MuddlingMackem · 29/01/2017 18:47

EatingMyWords, for your Dragonite, depending on how far you are from enough candies to evolve, the Roker to Seaburn coast often throws up a couple of Dratinis if you're looking for somewhere to go walking. I would think that any of the coastlines might be worth a try though.

Tangela, nope, no idea. I'm just having to plough through all the 5k eggs I'm getting and continue to hope for the best. Hmm

DameDeDoubtance · 29/01/2017 17:16

Finally hit level 30!!!! Local nests seem to have changed so I'm sticking up on Eggsecutors, or whatever they're called, 6 more to go!

EatingMyWords · 29/01/2017 15:05

Just need dragonite and tangela to get the gen 1 lot, except for the regionals! I don't suppose the NE people know where I can get them from?

Caught a wild lapras yesterday which was exciting- though DS was sad because his phone froze then it vanished before he could restart it.

spiderlight · 28/01/2017 20:13

Just downloaded Pokemon Duel. Don't geddit. Confused

AbbeyRoadCrossing · 28/01/2017 19:55

I've had a good few days. Hatched a Hitmonlee and caught two Lickitungs at the station. Walked enough to get my Rapidash. I've never seen a shadow of those 3 before so pleased to get them on my pokedex.
Now walking with Ekans as rarely see them enough to evolve any other way.

PidgeyfinderGeneral · 28/01/2017 17:36

So close to completing my gen 1 dex! I just need a hitmonlee and a kabutops. The hunters on the Pokémon Go Regionals page very kindly got me an aerodactyl, tauros, farfatch'd and kangaskhan. Have now totally run out of ultra balls though so I'll have to spend a day spinning the stop outside my office.

SarcasmMode · 28/01/2017 17:30

I live semi rural so not many PokeStops!

Also it's always Pidgey's and Rattata's.

A lot of electric types near my parents house though. Went for a 4km walk a few weeks ago to get some more Magnemite, Voltorb and Seel's.

53rdAndBird · 28/01/2017 14:33

Level 28 here. Yes you can incubate multiple eggs at the same time - some people have 9 on the go at once! I usually just have one or two though.

I'm still trying to collect all the Gen 1 Pokemon before Gen 2 comes out but I don't rate my chances. Still need Omastar, Lickitung, Lapras and Porygon. I'm buddying an Omanyte now for the Omastar with only 9 more candies to go, but the other three I've never seen hide nor hair of.

SarcasmMode · 28/01/2017 10:02

Are latecomers free to join?

Just been on PG! For 3 weeks.

I'm just level 11 but making a steady pace.

What levels are everyone at? Can you incubate multiple Pokemon at a time as long as you have enough incubators?

MuddlingMackem · 27/01/2017 17:00

Spent the past few weeks slowly accumulating credit through Google Rewards, working towards the £3.99 I needed for 450 coins. Finally, this morning, got a survey which took me just over £4. Went to the shop to buy my coins . . . and they've only gone and changed the pricing! It's now £4.99 for 550 coins. Sad So I'm back to waiting for surveys to slowly build up my credit.

I've been getting incubators with gym coins, but I want to expand my box and bag storage again, so was saving up the money for that. Bah!

DoctorTwo · 27/01/2017 16:40

I chucked 3 Ultra balls at a Lapras, the fucker got out of all three then fucked off. I finally have enough Geodude candies to power up Graveler and evolve Golem. I have enough Dratini candy to evolve Dragonair.

Other than that nowt interesting has been seen.
