Pokemon Go #10. See ya later Feralligator, in a while Totodile

Been round town, no new gyms at all, gutted.

Still need a few gen one and only a couple of them can I get by evolving so the rest I have to hope to hatch or catch. Missing lots of gen two - my small town gets hardly anything :(

*dragonite

Great event, got Charizard, Typhlosion, Houndoom. Had to use pokehuntr last night to find the last couple of houndoors for DD

New gyms sound confusing. I don't think I want to join raids - I'm happy just mooching around introvertedly pokemoning on my own!

Saw a chart somewhere that says dragonfire (my best mon nearly 3000) won't be a good defender now, and neither will Tyranitar (precious new boy who gave me blisters). Apparently Umbreon will be good though, and I love him.

Haha, I walked very slowly around our gyms today just in case they suddenly popped up as I was there

Anyone else tapping on gyms every five minutes like a lunatic?

Boohoo, back to vermin.

After the gyms and raids have been properly rolled out, I am hoping for an electric event. So far we've had

Ghost
Water
Grass
Rock
Fire and Ice

Electric would be nice! We still need the gold badge, the Pikachu badge, a shit ton of Mareep and six more Electabuzz candy for gen. 4.

Nice thread!

Dd has started playing again with a shiny new account, she normally plays on mine when we go out. She managed to get a Lapras on her first outing.

I'm place marking too.

Just arsemarking

I hope they release some more soon.

They did say they wouldn't be releasing Gen 3 for a while as they want to work on game mechanics (like the gyms) and figure out a way to release legendaries safely.

So I would think not this summer. Maybe after summer, but less people play in winter due to the weather so it seems likely it might be next Spring.

Ok so my 232 includes the European and American regionals so there are only 2 available ones that I can catch. The unown which I need to catch and the second evolution of the mareep which I need to walk as my buddy to get candy.

I hope they release some more soon.

Finally finally got my last Dratini candy to evolve my Dragonite and finish Gen 1. Took forever.

Got enough candy during this event to evolve Houndoom and the Cyndaquil evolves which was very handy and leaves me with 3 to catch from gen 2 (Unown, Miltank and, bizarrely, Dubsparce) and 5 to evolve - I need to get my trainers on and get walking because some of them will take at least 100 kilometres to get the candy.

Muddling I'm still waiting for a Tangela too! I finished Gen 1 before xmas except for that Tangela. I've completed 6 bingo lines of Gen 2. Still quite a few to get particularly mareep. Have never seen a wild one but did hatch 1.

53rdWay Yeah, its late and maths is not my forte But hopefully I have it right now with my last post.

All info regarding legendaries, regionals and Pokemon not yet in the game is correct though

Sorry, I was wrong with my earlier figure of Gen 2 having 80 Pokemon overall (it's late!).

It actually added 100 new Pokemon, meaning there are 90 you can get from Gen 2 excluding regionals, legendaries and Pokemon just not yet in the game.

So everything else stays the same, but there are 232 Pokemon available across Gen 1 and Gen 2 for you to catch

Think your maths is off a bit, WhatToDo. I'm at 223 caught / 227 seen.

I have 232 on my pokedex now.

Where is that figure from? Because your pokedex and the Pokemon you have caught and not transferred are not the same thing.

There are only 212 available as outlined above so that doesn't make sense.

Last message was for you, inniu And yes, the pokedex is the pokedex for ALL the Pokemon in Gen 1 and 2, including Pokemon not yet in the game (majority of which are legendaries).

There are 151 Pokemon in Gen 1, but 5 of those are legendaries and are not in the game yet (Zapdos, Articuno, Moltres, Mew and Mewtwo) and there are 4 regionals (Tauros, Kangaskhan, Mr. Mime and Farfetch'd).

So that leaves 142.

Gen 2 has 80 Pokemon. Regular Pokemon Delibird and Smeagle are not yet in the game, and there are 6 legendary Pokemon (Raikou, Entei, Suicune, Lugia, Ho-Oh and Celebi) also not yet in the game, and of course there are 2 more regionals (Heracross and Corsola).

So that leaves 70 available to catch.

So excluding legendaries, regionals and Pokemon not yet in the game, that leaves 212 for you to catch

What todo,

I mean how many are there in gen 1 and gen 2 excluding regionals and legendaries? How many realistically can I have in my Pokedex. I have 232 on my pokedex now.

Are some of the blank spaces in my pokedex for legendaries? I know some are for regionals because I have a shadow for one of them.

Found the shiny new thread. Evolved a Quilava and Typhlosion and still have 140 odd candy left after that event. Up to 9k off Level 29 too. Need 6 to complete now. Walking Togepi to get Togetic, on 34 candy. Also need Flaafy & Ampharos, on about 80 candy, and Pupitar and Larvitar, on about 75 candy. Have a metal coat for Scizor but only about 10 candy. Started playing just after our biggest local nest was Scyther which is annoying.

Never really done much gym stuff. Hope to start after the update as I think you can get special items and strong Pokemon.

inniu Are you asking how many Pokemon there are altogether in Gen 1 and Gen 2 excluding regionals and legendaries? Or are you asking how many Pokemon you can hold at any one time?

As for finding out what you're missing, check your Pokedex. Where there is a number in a box, you're missing that Pokemon. A box with a shadow of a Pokemon means you've seen that Pokemon in the wild or in a gym, but you have never caught one.

What is the maximum amount of Pokémon you can have without regionals?

I have 232.

I know I still need the second evolution of a mareep and it is my buddy. I still need an unown. I don't know what else I need?

Although I must say if you have a wonder 200 CP Charmander and a not making much headway 500 CP Charmander, you should evolve the 500 CP despite the poor appraisal because the wonder one is too low; to get the same high CP you'd need a lot of stardust and candy, and it still wouldn't be good.

In this example though, the evolved Charizard would not be worth powering up because it would be take far too much resources in either case.

HandbagKrabby Powering up is how you get high CP Pokemon however there are a number of factors to consider.

Wonder, or caught attention, Pokemon are generally the only ones worth powering up. Anything lower than that takes far too many candies and too much stardust to be worth it.

So if you want to power up a Pokemon, you want the one with the highest CP and the best appraisal possible.

If you power up a Pokemon to the max for your level, then when you go up another level you are able to power it up another two times.

Unless a Pokemon has a CP of over 2000 when caught, hatched and/or fully evolved, it generally is not worth powering up.

Also never power up anything you don't intend to gym with as it's a waste.
