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

The new update seem a bit confusing right now, but I'm sure they'll make sense eventually.

I'm so relieved you don't have to waste your candies feeding them, and it's only berries!

Bit pissed you can only have one of each type in a gym though.

Prosecco my Pokemon app has been fine today - have managed to catch a few and spin stops as normal. Although in the last hour all the gyms have disappeared! I can normally see 6 from my house and they've all gone! I guess it's for the update. Very pleased that I still seem to be able to collect my coins as normal though as my mons haven't come back to me. Hoping they last another 1.5hrs so I can collect my 50 coins.

Oh Rafals, that sucks!

Gyms are disabled for a big update

A Lapras turned up while I was on the bus into work this morning. Just as the wifi went down. By the time it was back up again the bus was just far enough away it had disappeared.

Gutted doesn't come close to covering it.

Gyms are down, update underway!

I think it definitely puts lone hunters like me at a disadvantage. I've only seen 2 regular PoGo players at my local gym. (They are husband and wife - lol)

Woah!!!!! Sounds awesome! Just for the fact that you can spin gyms alone.

Anyone else having trouble with the app today? Catching Pokemon in the ball but then it crashing? My local pokestop has turned fuzzy rather than the photo. I've just got to it and although it's blue and spinning it doesn't drop anything. I just hit another pokestop five minutes ago and it worked. Arghhhh. Frustrated!

So exciting!

Big update on its way!

I caught a lapras! Woo! It was just at my normal pokestop. There's a dratini there now but it's too hot to run out and get it.

I'm asked the kids to wait until Wed before we evolve our new Pokemon in case we find better ones.

I managed to catch a wonder 794 CP Growlithe, which when evolved to Arcanine will be 2000 CP +. And that's without being powered up.

My current highest Arcanine is 1500, so I'm really chuffed as Arcanine is one of the best fire Pokemon.

My dc is beside themselves if we don't immediately evolve new Pokemon! I've got enough candy now for more ninetales, houndoom and arcanine anyway, it would be lucky to get another typhlosion or charizard but you never know.

I'd love a fighting type event. I think I've less then 10 catches/hatches out of over 2000 that are fighting types.

I wish I could wait, I really do.

I am led by dd though as we share an account, that's my excuse and I am sticking to it!

They will have to be very careful how they proceed, encouraging kids to get out is great, encouraging kids to meet strangers is a no no.

I was thinking that the interacting with strangers bit could be dodgy ground. Will have to wait and see what they come up with I suppose.

I find it hard to resist evolving any new ones to my dex Dame. I'm waiting until the event ends though. Just about managing to wait so far

I never evolve on the spot. I always wait until the end of the event to make sure I have the best Pokemon possible. I'd hate to evolve only to find a better one!

AbbeyRoadCrossing Yeah, they do want to encourage people to interact however they will have to tread VERY carefully because lots of kids play the game and they don't want to get in sticky waters with them interacting with strangers.

I evolve on the spot Abbey, way to excited to see my new guy!

I do hoard candy though and do mass evolves when there's a double xp event on which kinda balances it out.

Meanwhile I've got enough Houndour candy now and enough Cynquadil for all the evolutions. I've not got any wonders though. Just 'caught my attention' ones. Hoping I get a wonder before the end of the event. I'm rubbish at waiting to evolve!

That would be good too WhatToDo as I'd happily interact with others if there was a way to do so. I don't know anyone else that plays IRL

I heard similar that it's one of each type in the gym. And feeding them a new berry every so often to keep them in there. Although not convinced that'll stop spoofers as they could spoof over there with the berry.

Visiting the gym will only work if it deters spoofers, if they can just ping there and visit then it will only have the effect of making them even harder for genuine players. Just have to wait and see.

That was so odd about the grey gyms, someone had bothered to bring them down but not add to them, weird. Oh well, nowt so strange as folk!

Another rumour is that you'll have to feed Pokemon in gyms. So if you put Blissey in the gym and have 10 candies then you'll only be able to keep her in the gym for 10 days (1 candy per day)

I really hope that's just a rumour; that would be awful. Candies are really rare for a lot of gym Pokemon and are needed to power them up not waste them like that.

I think they'll have to have restrictions on what you can put in gyms in future. E.g. 1 Blissey only

I have seen two grey gyms today, I wonder if that is them making changes?

I very much doubt it. Official announcement says they start disabling tomorrow, the 19th. There would be little point starting earlier and pissing people off.

I have seen two grey gyms today, I wonder if that is them making changes? They were empty for about twenty minutes before they were snagged. I love fighting in the gyms but they are all level 10 blue team and stuffed to the rafters with Blisseys so no point.

Levelled up to 33 today, only 1 million till 34! I still think the rewards for levelling up are crap though.
