Despite only really playing at the weekend due to working I'm now 180k through Level 31. Today I cheated somewhat. The M25 was stationary, so I opened the app and left it on. I had 8 eggs cooking and between junctions 18 and 22 managed to hatch 7 of them. Mantine, 2x Exegcute, Krabby, Eevee, Togepi and Magby.

Congrats Abbey on reaching Level 30, and commiserations Spammy on not being able to log in.

tumpymummy An iPhone 5s is terrible for Pokemon Go. We had when when we started playing and in order to actually play properly (too much crashing!) we had to get new phones.

Both got iPhone 6s which play it like a dream.

(P.S. we're on a new thread now! www.mumsnet.com/Talk/video_games_chat/2977286-Theres-no-one-quite-like-Yanma-Im-sure-you-will-agree Smile)

Can sign in now (after I've missed the opportunity to get in gyms and get coins for today). Agree about the second class citizen thing. I'm playing on an old iPhone 5s with knackered battery so would like to know what other phones are good for pokego too.

Kpo58 · 14/07/2017 20:06

Pokemon Go trainer accounts always seem to be treated as second class citizens.

I'm actually strongly considering upgrading my phone as I'm fed up of Pokémon Go constantly freezing.

tumpymummy · 14/07/2017 19:39

I haven't been able to log in this afternoon/evening either. Very frustrating. I've a trainer account. Whereas my son has a google account and that is fine.

Kpo58 · 12/07/2017 13:02

Why is it that EVERY lunchtime when I am at work and most of Wednesday, can I not log into Pokemon go?

I'm getting really frustrated as I want to join in this event, but cannot at suitable times.

PokemonGo · 12/07/2017 11:55

My oldest is a maxed out 2477 lapras - with frost breath and ice beam - 22/07/16. I guess I ground the earlier catches.

PickAChew · 11/07/2017 23:04

I ground up my first bulbasaur - caught it hanging from the calendar in my kitchen.

Oldest is a Machamp, originally caught 8/8/16. So I've kept nothing form my first 3 weeks playing!

PickAChew · 11/07/2017 22:57

he's as romantic as my DH, Soubriquet - he bought us a kindle firestick!

RudeDog · 11/07/2017 22:16

My oldest is a Mankey from June 27th 17.
Still the only one I've ever got...

Shiny new thread here. My oldest is a 14CP Bulbassaur from 29th August 2016. My first ever catch.

ProseccoandPizza · 11/07/2017 21:40

My oldest is a 495CP butterfree from the 11/11/16. However I know we started playing on 23/08/16. I assume I must've transferred out the others.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 11/07/2017 21:29

cottonwool125 Yeah, Donphan is adorable Grin

My oldest is a 41 CP Clefairy caught on the 17th October. I wasn't able to play before then as didn't have a device that would play it!

TrashPanda · 11/07/2017 21:21

My oldest is my 12CP starter Bulbasaur from 14th July.

AbbeyRoadCrossing · 11/07/2017 20:06

My oldest is pikachu from August. I must've deleted my earliest ones. I find it impossible to delete even the most low scoring pikachu though

HandbagKrabby · 11/07/2017 20:04

My oldest is a gloom from the 25th July.

Is anyone thinking of going to the event in Chester?

loc · 11/07/2017 19:57

Oldest Pokémon is hitmonlee from 25th July. I used to see these a lot in the early days. I never see hitmon types now. 😟

PsammeadPaintedTheLion · 11/07/2017 19:32

Wow, another new pokestop just appeared near me. That's the third one within 'sight' on my map since shortly before the gym update.

cottonwool125 · 11/07/2017 16:17

Oh and just to join in with your discussion- my oldest Pokemon is a Hypno from the 15th august! A spring chicken compared to most of your 'mon Grin

cottonwool125 · 11/07/2017 16:15

WhatToDo i haven't bothered IV checking purely because I know I have a better one, and the move set I don't think is very good (tackle and play rough), whereas my Donphan I already have has counter and earthquake. Comes in as 'strong' on appraisal, which is one down from 'battle with the best of them' so not bad by any means. Can't bring myself to get rid of her though! Love Donphan Grin

You're so lucky finding a wild one. Never hatched or even seen a chansey shadow Sad I have a 10km on 9.5 though so who knows!

PsammeadPaintedTheLion · 11/07/2017 15:20

That's dedication! We've only just got our silver a couple of weeks ago.

Dd1 loves the badges. We're close to jogger gold, magikarp silver and raid bronze.

I only really care about the 'type' badges. Ghost, Steel and Electric are all silver, Fighting and Dragon are bronze. The rest are gold.

BSJohnson · 11/07/2017 14:35

My oldest is a Horsea (now a Seadra) from July 24th.

I'm determined to get my Youngster gold medal this summer. Only 63 tiny Rattata to go.... Grin

HandbagKrabby · 11/07/2017 14:22

I'm walking mankey, finally got my bronze fighting medal after evolving polywrath as those types are so thin on the ground. Going to do sandshrew next I think as I've had even less of them.

PsammeadPaintedTheLion · 11/07/2017 14:05

That does make more sense. Grin

I'd love a Chansey! It's my last non-walkable, except for Unown.

I also have three to go for gen 1 and am in a similar position with Mankey. I don't have a great one, but I am not sure I need a great one. My problem is that I don't have any particularly brilliant fighting Pokémon. I have a highly rated Machamp, but it's got crap moves. So maybe a great Primeape would be worth the wait. Ho hum.
