There's no-one quite like Yanma, I'm sure you will agree

So has the pikachu event ended then?

On Saturday, is the special event an all day thing or only during set hours? Because if it's in the evening or early nightime we won't be able to participate which would be a bit shit.

tumpymummy, I'm with you, I don't really like playing in an obvious way, it is a bit embarrassing being engrossed in a screen in public (and unsafe, I like to keep my wits about me, damn these distracting Pokemon!). I'm not sure how my DH would take it if I said I wanted to go on a PoGo meet this Saturday night. It is an odd one, he's not mental or anything but he doesn't get it. At all.

JoantheVampireSlayer Being a wonder is good! But the only type both steel and fire are good against is ice, and there aren't currently a lot of ice Pokemon.

I thought as much
She is a wonder Whatto which is why I bothered to evolve her, so it is a bit disappointing ha!
Just trying to decide if I should use a charged TM on her...

JoantheVampireSlayer Unfoetunately it's not great, sorry

Neither of the moves are the same type as him, which is what you'd want (a perfect Tyrannitar would be double dark).

What is its appraisal?

Just evolved my first Tyranitar but I'm not sure if this move set is any good? Any ideas?

Bugger my two pokemon I put in gyms today came back at the same time, not long after my mountain one came back

Kpo58 I thought it was the red gym leader! I had to quickly check that there wasn't a glitch in the game and I had been converted to red! Oh well, quite nice to have a new face around for a change

Yes, I keep getting the Red gym leader showing. I'm not converting!

Kpo58 I had this today too! Are you Instinct (yellow)?

This is weird, I got a couple of my Pokemon appraised and although it had the correct words, a different gym leader picture appeared.

Exciting news about the legendaries!

Hatched a pinsir today which is a a first so very happy about that.

Phew 😁

Does this make me a bad poke trainer?

No. Anyone can play, whether they're casual and not interested in PokeHistory like you or obsessed, stringent and well versed in Pokemon history, types and move sets like me

If I'm honest I'm embarrassed that I play

Why are you embarrassed to play?

I don't care who knows what I'm doing. I was so excited when I hatched a Phanphy for the first time that I screamed "I've got a Phanphy!" In the middle of our town centre

As someone who got into Pokemon -ahem- late ie when Pokemon Go came out, it's hard to get excited about legendaries as I'm not sure it'll make much difference to actual game play. DD8 tries to explain all these complex Pokemon things to me but I'm only interested in the game. Does this make me a bad poke trainer?

Bumwad the new gym coin system annoyed me at first, but on balance like icouldbeknitting says I am better off with the new system and it means less work. I used to average 20-30 coins a day on the old system, now I just make sure I have 1 or 2 mons in a gym. If I get my 50 coins early on in the day I don't bother trying anymore gyms until the next day. I haven't really bothered with raids as I prefer to play solo. If I'm honest I'm embarrassed that I play so I only gym at places where it isn't obvious what I am doing or ones I can reach from inside my car. I like that you can just walk past a friendly gym and drop one in now and you don't have to loiter around and train to get a place.

LEGENDARY POKEMON NEWS!!!

If we manage to catch enough Pokemon this Saturday (the world as a whole) during the event, a Legendary Pokemon will appear in Chicago.

If they manage to defeat it, that Legendary Pokemon will appear in raids around the world!

My last two 10s were a porygon and a dratini

Both very much appreciated

I do not want a chinchou I already have a lanturn

I've currently got a 10km egg on the go that's about 6km completed. Trying to put a positive spin on the fact it may be a chinchou- if it does hatch and it is a chinchou, I'll have enough candies for a lanturn, so another addition to the pokedex. Really hoping it's a Snorlax as I've wanted one since the very beginning. Another Larvitar would also be great.

I'm too impatient for remote berry feeding hope they hurry up and sort it!

Ahh no worries Yes, same. 10k eggs are so exciting I want to know asap what's in them!

WhatToDo yeah that's what I meant! I think i worded it wrong what I meant to say was, I love the idea of waiting until you have 9 10km eggs, and incubating them all at the same time for a mass hatching session don't think I would have the patience though. As soon as I have a 10km, I want to hatch it asap!

love the idea of saving all of your 10km eggs to hatch at once!

You can't save them to hatch at once; as soon as they hit the 2/5/10k walked, they hatch.

You can wait and put all your 10k eggs in incubators at the same time though, and then they'll hatch pretty much one after the other

But I get too excited to wait so I just constantly have eggs incubating (which is a science in and of itself of which incubators to use when!).

Oh yes, hitmontop would be good, too. I have a tyrogue, but its stats are wrong.
