PokemonGo #9. A journey to hatch a 10km egg starts with a single step.

I haven't been able to log in at all today either. Hope I'll be able to tomorrow if the event is extended. I was banking on the bonus XP to get me up to the next level.

I'm miffed that my daily streaks have been halted, although luckily today is only day three; I'd have been really peeved had it been day six or seven!

Ahh that makes sense; I couldn't play during the Valentine's event so missed out on Porygons and Chanseys.

We got a few in the Valentine's day event. And DS1 has hatched several - just never been lucky enough to pick up the correct special item to evolve one.

And I might not go out tomorrow because he's refusing to get his arse to bed.

PickAChew Jealous of your Snorlax! Where are you getting so many Porygon? I've never hatched or seen one.

Yay for extended event! One last chance to get a Magmar!

Glad it's extended! Might go out, tomorrow, then!

I forgot to say that on Sunday I HATCHED A BLOODY AWESOME SNORLAX!!!!!!! Gen 1 is now complete for me. Gen 2 is missing sheep and ampharos, cows, and unown, that I can think of but won't imminently achieve by evolving one.

DS1 still hasn't been able to evolve porygon 2 due to lack of up-grade. i chucked 5 of them away, last week, and still have 2!!!

Just seen on FB that the update has an awesome loading screen. Shame only Android people have it at the moment.

Event extended 24 hours!

Software update details!

I'm up to 229 caught. I have enough candies to evolve Blissey and espeon but I've nothing decent to evolve so I'm waiting.

I'm not a million miles away from evolving typhlosion and an ampharous (sp?)

I've got plenty of Taurus from a trip to the states and am currently meant to be working in Australia so will he getting a kangastan very soon! I didn't get a Corsola during my layover on the way to Australia - it was only an hour or so and I couldn't see many Pokémon despite using three incense. Hopefully I'll get a far fetched on my layover on the way back to the U.K. 🤞🏻.

I don't use scanners or groups so I think my chances of catching an Unown are remote 😭

I did a mass evolve session tonight and added a few new ones to my pokedex- 210 caught now, 227 seen. My new ones are:
bayleaf
quilava
jumpluff
steelix
donphan
pupitar

I also added a few more rapidash, eggxeggutor, chameleon, polygon 2,
arcanine, gyaridos, rhydon, golem, ninetails, a jolteon and the usual rubbish that you get when you do a mass evolve. Even though I haven't been out and about that much during this event, it has been fab. I look forward to another one.

I also found lots of water types today, hence finally getting Dragonite. It was weird though - it was a road in London but there was no water nearby. Unless pokemon go has been researching underground rivers!

After this event, from Gen 1 I still need 17 (excluding legendaries and regionals):

• Raichu
• Sandslash
• Clefable
• Gloom
• Vileplume
• Weepinbell
• Victreebell
• Duduo
• Dodrio
• Muk
• Exeggutor

• Hitmonchan • Scyther • Magmar • Porygon
• Snorlax • Dragonite

But most are evolutions that I can walk if I have to.

LBOCS2 - I have 4 to get from gen 1

Venusaur (7 catches away)
Primeape (3 catches)
Machamp (3 catches)
Chansey

And 9 to get from gen 2

Meganium (2 catches)
Feraligatr (too many to count)
Ampharos (too many)
Politoed (need king's rock)
Unown (fuck off, Unown)
Scizor (4 catches)
Porygon 2 (6 catches)
Blissey (don't even have Chansey)
Tyranitar (walking the shit out of Larvitar, still 70 candy away)

I evolved Charizard and Dragonite today so only 3 left to get for Generation 1. I'm now walking Abra. I also need Primape and Flareon. Then I'm done apart from regionals.

Gen 2 I don't know - lots?

Yes I get multiple spawns everywhere; always have done. And I only live in a small town.

I've got enough to get a Charizard, Typhlosion, Houndoor, Ninetails.

I think the only thing I didn't catch during this event which I desperately needed was a Magmar!

Ooh, just read about 'premier balls' which will be used in raids to catch the boss Pokémon.

I am impatient for the gyms to return! Raids won't be for a while, but the gyms should be back soon.

I am also impatient for gen 3. It may be that I am just lacking in patience generally

220 in the dex, thank you Charizard.

How is everyone doing with Gen1?

My Lapras was the last of the 'standalone' Pokemon for me to catch; regionals excepted. I've got four more candies to get to evolve Grimer into Muk, and two more to do Machoke into Machamp (I may catch one, they do periodically turn up around here). Then I've got 99km to walk to get my Exeggcute to evolve. Which I'm putting off until there's another event, I think. And then I'm done, woo!

I'm miles away from Gen 2. I don't think I've even completed one row.

Thanks! I am well chuffed.

Woo hoo congratulations on your Lapras Penguin

PokemonGo I second your non bitterness

Ooh you're lucky with your multiple spawns, I only get 1 at home

....not that I'm bitter but some of us dream of being able to catch a Pokémon from the comfort of our homes 😂

BTW I am actually a little bitter 😭

So after my lapras disappointment the other day, I got on with walking the two 10k eggs I had, fully expecting them to be more fucking gligar/pinecos. They were....

A miltank and.... A LAPRAS!

I think Mumsnet must have secretly fixed it for me. Thanks Mumsnet!

In other news, DH and I drove to work today because we couldn't face the tube, so I had two very decent catching/pokestop hitting sessions. I now have a full sack of pokemon and will be doing a lucky egg evolve.

Haven't had any difficulty logging in

Not been getting any eggs from pokestops though which is very annoying!

This event has been pretty good for me, been doing a few lucky eggs and incense while in the car (not driving obviously!) so catching a pokemon every minute and getting shit loads of points so finally got up to level 30 and now I'm not fussed about xp any more

No new gyms here :(

I'm not sure what the benefit of breeding Pokemon in Pokemon Go would be.

I still can't log in. I want to cry. I just get Unable to Authenticate every time I try. It doesn't get as far as deciding if my password is correct or not.
