Yeah, I know I'm scraping the barrel now... :o But at least you get an earworm.

Still just keeping up the streaks, but yesterday I HATCHED A SNORLAX. That's No2, and I have 40 Snorlax candy.

I get it re grinding up Pikachus, it just feels wrong. I do it though, 'cos I'm heartless. Wink

A 40km expansion would put Unown nearly but not quite in my area. I will wait for the sightings....

Was that in the city centre Derek? I was in the city centre for a few hours today and caught at least 5 kangaskhan and quite a few unown too. I managed to nab 2 zapdos in Glasgow today but DP never got any so we are heading back in a couple of days.

Kakuna. My DC are in their early 20's but were brought up on Pokémon right from when they were little kids and toddlers....... Pokémon Smash Bros, Pokémon Stadium, Pokémon Snap, the DS Pokémon games all of them , The Pokémon movies all of them and more Pokémon cards than you could ever imagine. They Recently decided to see if they could still name every single gen 1, gen 2 and gen 3 Pokémon - they missed a few but nearly managed it. (I'm so proud 😂😂)

It was my kids that started me on Pokémon go, I don't think they thought I'd get quite so into it. They think it's hilarious.

We still have our N64 with the old Pokémon games. Pokémon Snap is a surprisingly playable game. 😁

I'm on holiday in Glasgow, we have walked everywhere for the last 4 days and I've only seen 2 kangaskhan and 2 unknown....

Good luck PokemonGo!

PokemonGo · 08/08/2017 21:24

The increased spawning areas for unowns and kagistans (sp?) will mean that I can now have a shot at getting them. Phew!

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 08/08/2017 21:22

KakunaRattata Ahh okay, that makes sense Grin

eyebrowsonfleek · 08/08/2017 21:21

Looks like you don't have to travel far.

KakunaRattata · 08/08/2017 21:20

whattodo I mean I've caught the most on our account out of me and ds. I've had years of buying cards and ds games and running him to events, then this comes along and I think I got more obsessed than him!

jennielou75 · 08/08/2017 21:07

I live in London in Roehampton and haven't seen a kanga yet! Am going to have to travel in the rain to the centre.

PokemonGo · 08/08/2017 21:06

Can I please vote DoctorTwo for starting the next thread when we need it. He's done such a great job at thinking of hilarious and slightly naff thread titles I'm not sure we can trust anyone else to do it as well.

No pressure DoctorTwo Wink Grin

Yay!

KakunaRattata You can tell what Pokemon you've caught in your PokeDex; it says at the top Smile

KakunaRattata · 08/08/2017 20:59

Thanks doctor, I go through phases of being addicted to mn then taking a break. DS and I share the account as he's been pokemon obsessed for years, I reckon I've caught 90% of the pokemon but I've only just started battling gyms. We're only level 26 at the mo, there's an active community round here for raids but some of them are super elitist and think you're not worthy if you're below L30!

This came up on my feed.

DoctorTwo Thank you! Smile I've just caught a third Zapdos! Poor DH still not got any, though.

@WhatToDoAboutThis2017 Congrats on your wonder day.

@KakunaRatatta welcome. Please do post, we're always interested in what other Trainers are up to. We are a friendly bunch, in fact, in 11 threads I think the only person to have the piss taken is me, and it made me chuckle.

AbbeyRoadCrossing If you leave the appropriate travel time, it won't be able to tell.

If you give someone else your log in info, as long as you give it the appropriate amount of time for you to have been able to get there, they won't think you cheated.

If you give someone your log in details in London, they log in, then half an hour later you do, it will flag it up because you can't have travelled that far in that time.

AbbeyRoadCrossing · 08/08/2017 20:20

I turn my phone off when I'm on the train to conserve battery so GPS wouldn't work.
I was referring to the post on the other page by the way about people elsewhere in the UK getting someone else to log in. I can't see how'd they'd tell you hadn't flown over for a meeting then back?

Anyway Kanga has just appeared here so perhaps the event has now spread out!

eyebrowsonfleek · 08/08/2017 20:16

Essex, Luton and other places reporting Kangaskhan

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 08/08/2017 20:09

I'm a bit confused (as usual) I get the fast train into London some days so is it going to think I spoofed? How do they know the travel time? E.g. you could fly across the UK in theory.

They take into account all forms of travel, so they won't think you cheated because you used the fast train. They can tell by the GPS.

Good news on them appearing elsewhere. Seems daft to have them only in certain cities.

Caught Kanga today and saw a couple of unown shadows but couldn't get to those stops - was already on the train!

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 08/08/2017 19:58

*wartortle and eyebrowsonfleek Congrats on your Zapdos'!

There is a team dedicated to cheating/fraud; all big games have them. You haven't got caught yet, but it's only a matter of time.

eyebrowsonfleek · 08/08/2017 19:55

We're not in London and Kangastans have suddenly appeared. 😱

KakunaRattata · 08/08/2017 19:41

Evening, can I join in here? I've not posted since the early threads (probably under an old name).
