Pokemon Go #12: "It's in the trees! It's coming!" The Houndooms of love are calling me (to join in a raid).

Checking in again. I got fed up for a while raids are annoying rurally. Got all 4 birds now and ganging around to see what happens with mewtwo. Gen 1 and 2 dex completed.

Caught a double ice jinx today,
It looks good all round, happy lady ;) hope you all had a good hunting day ;)

We were doing a raid yesterday when a running club went past. The leader asked if we were speed dating and using our phones to rate each other.

That's what it's like in the town up the road, all sorts of people. Here it's lone teens, one even asked me out

Strange how the demographic differs. All children here turn up to raids with parents (even the teenagers 😂) Not at all unusual for gran, grandad, mum, dad, baby and toddler to turn up together.

At the moment, as well as stockpiling candy, I'm also trying to stockpile coins. I got caught out with hardly any when Gen 2 was released and they sold pokemon storage half price, so I want to stock up on storage if they do the same with gen 3. I'm trying to hoy the kids' pokemon into gyms too for coins whenever I see an opportunity.

I am in a group in a larger town up the road that is mixed but here, in my town, it is mostly kids who play.

What In my small town they are mostly kids.

Btw, the reason they're recommending you save candy for Gen 4 evolutions now is because when Gen 4 hits, there will be 493 Pokemon in the game.

So if you're trying to find that last one of any Pokemon, you'll probably come across the other 492 and get frustrated! So make sure you stock up.

Oooooo are there more Evolutions

Eevee has lots of evolutions, but there are many other Pokemon that do too that you need to save for.

For Eevee, in Gen 4 we get Leafeon and Glaceon and in Gen 6 we get Sylveon.

Gen 3 doesn't give you any new evolutions for any Gen 1 or Gen 2 Pokemon, but Gen 4 does.

War title,what's a damage ball?

When you do raids, you can get extra balls for doing lots of damage. If all your Pokemon faint and you have to rejoin the battle, you don't get any balls for damage, and when you're trying to catch a legendary, all balls count!

I don't really want to network and hook up with others as they are mostly kid

I very much doubt they'd be mostly kids. Of the 50+ people in our small towns WhatsApp group, there's only two kids and that's because their parents were into it first and got them into it (and they're both under 10). Majority age is 30.

The game is played by adults because it was brought out when we were kids and we grew up with it.

I hoped it would be this summer

They would never have released Gen 3 this summer; they only released Gen 2 in the Spring and they like to give people lots of time to get everything.

Most likely outcome for Gen 3 is next Spring, then it's been a year and everyone's had ample time. They might release it late autum/winter but I doubt that as people play less in the winter and even a new Gen wouldn't be very tempting when the weathers awful.

They've also said they're 6 months behind from where they wanted to be due to all the problems they faced at the beginning and had to rectify, so in the next 6 months it seems likely we might get PVP or trading.

Sorry, Wartotle

War title,what's a damage ball?

Still no legendaries, ds is the raid battler and just can't catch them, I may have to sneak off without him!

Oooooo are there more Evolutions? I'll start saving too! I'm thinking October for Gen 2, shall we have a sweepstake!

Yep wanting gen 3 here too

Been saving up my eevee candy so I can evolve them straight away

I'm also eagerly waiting for Gen 3! Are there any rumours as to when this will be released in to the game? I hoped it would be this summer, but with all of the new updates re gyms/raids, and the later it gets, it seems unlikely

I'm with you loc. There aren't the numbers round here to raid, I'm more of a lone hunter so gen 3 would be wonderful. I keep walking to raids but no one is there and it's expensive travelling to larger towns and cities.

I don't really want to network and hook up with others as they are mostly kids and it's not what I enjoy about the game. I like to walk and add to my dex.

I don't want to sound ungrateful, Mewtwo is VERY EXCITING, but am I the only one kind of hanging out for Gen 3? I just want to do a bit of boring Dex filling.

Yes ends in London on 21st- I used the London pogo map last week when I was there for a day and got 3.

Loving that legendary birds available rest of this month- managed to join a moltres raid, justified the special trip out as needing to buy my 8 month old more teething gel... I didn't drag my baby out just for that 😂😂😂

I put my Blissey and Chanceys in gyms just so they would faint and be sidelined. I don't mind swapping them out at the start of a raid but as we're usually short handed and when I faint out and go round again one would occasionally sneak in.

Tomorrow I've planned a solid hour of potion farming which should be sixty stops. I must pick something up other than red balls and revives.

Don't waste potions of Blissey and Chansey if you're like me and sick of them being suggested for legendary raids.

Does the unown event finish on 21st? Been to London for the day with family. Train leaves in ten and the missing unown has popped up. Bugger. No way can I risk missing the train and although we've got day tickets I can't ask the family to step off and get a later train 😁😁😁😁😁

The obly problem with doing raids on half health is that if all your pokemon are knocked out and you have to renter the battle your damage resets so unless everyones are knocked out you lose out on damage balls. So while I revive everything I try to fully heal my main fighters before each raid.

I'm going to get more Tyranitars in preparation for Mewtwo
