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

Really hope they go for reduced egg walking.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 12/07/2017 22:16

Omg YES! DH and I are not working on the 22nd so can't wait!!! So excited! Grin

Wreckingball25 · 12/07/2017 21:47

I'm getting married on the 22nd so no gaming for me Grin

I think the benefits the Chicago players will get will last at least 24 hours, probably starting the next day, as someone will have to make it happen on the server side.

Natsku · 12/07/2017 21:26

My parents will still be visiting but I'll make up some excuse to go out.

Did a croconaw raid this evening and caught him and have set up a deal with my little cousin to alternate days at the nearby gym (he's luckily a different team) for the remainder of the holiday to maximise our coins)

Dillite2 · 12/07/2017 20:37

So the event will only last a few hours and evening hours at that? Pffffffffffffffffffftttttttttttttttt!

SomewhatIdiosyncratic · 12/07/2017 19:27

Had a productive day. From the local FB page, I've joined the message group for raids and used it to get a 3* Alakazam in a group. I got a Bayleef earlier which is gradually building up for my first Meganium.

My only frustration is the go plus being uncommunicative again.

TrashPanda · 12/07/2017 16:48

Oooh the event looks like it might be good, it's been rubbish so far! I'm working on 22nd until 4pm so can go out afterwards. Do have DS swimming party at 12:00 the next day though.

Natsku · 12/07/2017 16:14

Those Chicago players better do well!

Deepest darkest lapland seems to be better than home - found another gym and pokestop the other side of the lake which are in sight of the farm. There's a raid there this evening so I'll take my little cousin with me to do it. Also caught an octillery which I've never seen before.

PsammeadPaintedTheLion · 12/07/2017 15:51

Sorry, that should be 5pm to 9:30 pm. Not 7:30.

PsammeadPaintedTheLion · 12/07/2017 15:49

This is all taking place on the 22nd July which is a Saturday. The challenges are set to take place at between 5pm and 7:30pm UK time, if my time zone calculator is correct.

PsammeadPaintedTheLion · 12/07/2017 15:37

Clickety click

Basically, what the players do in Chicago has an effect on what happens worldwide.

They get challenges and if they (and we in the rest of the world) complete them, we all get bonuses, like 48 hours increased stardust etc for catching a certain amount of grass types within an allotted time, etc.

PsammeadPaintedTheLion · 12/07/2017 15:35

Details are out about the event!!!!

Natsku · 12/07/2017 14:05

Really is a rubbish event. I'm not even getting any 10k eggs to get something out of the egg changes.

Niantic is testing Legendary Pokemon in San Francisco!

PsammeadPaintedTheLion · 12/07/2017 13:17

I think the Chicago event will involve a legendary raid, which will then roll out for us plebs. Which is great and all, but I'd have loved a dust or candy related sideshow!

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 12/07/2017 11:49

I have a suspicion a legendary may be coming from what I've read, but I'm not 100% sure.

If it does, it will make this event worthwhile!

PickAChew · 12/07/2017 11:46

That's more than we have in highest windiest co Durham, natsku!

All this event is is pikachu with a new hat and temptation to drop a whole tenner on pokecoins at once.

Natsku · 12/07/2017 11:23

My oldest is a dugtrio (obviously was diglett when I caught it) from 20th of July

Deepest darkest (or er lightest as its midnight sun time) lapland actually has a pokestop and a gym a bit down the road at the old school so will bike down there later. There's another pokestop further down the road at the church but that's several km so dunno if I can be arsed.

PsammeadPaintedTheLion · 12/07/2017 10:56

7 10km eggs! Shock

The most I had at once was 3, just before they changed them. I got a Mantine, Pineco and Gligar, obviously.

I understand about the eggs now. I guess this is not even an event thing but rather a general change to the eggs thing like they have now and then.

So basically, the 'event' has so far been hats on rats.

Sort it out, Niantic!!

Dillite2 · 12/07/2017 10:13

This even has been about as exciting when it comes to extra rewards as a wet fart! Where are all those surprise extras that we were told we would get?

ProseccoandPizza · 12/07/2017 10:01

Ooh I finally got a pichu only it's a chav pichu From a 2km egg I got yesterday.

BSJohnson · 12/07/2017 09:53

Has anyone else noticed a greater drop of 10km eggs in the new event?

I was saving them up to do a big incubation walk at the same time, as I get a kick out of multiple eggs hatching at the same time . I had three 10km eggs before the event started - now I have seven! Shock

BSJohnson · 12/07/2017 09:50

I'm not sure, but I think that while Chinchou/Porygon have been added to 10km eggs, Mantine and Pineco and Gligar have been downgraded to 5km, but other 10km egg Pokemon have stayed the same, so still Dratini, Snorlax etc as possibilities?...

PickAChew · 12/07/2017 09:42

Ds1 just hatched a larvitar from an event egg.

The problem is with some of the articles and blogs about po go is that they're utter bollocks or only have half the information, but other outlets just run with them as their own.
