Pokemon Go #17: Mankey Gone To Heaven

"I was in Chester recently and was amazed by how many Pokestops there are close together! "

TakeaChanseyonMe (great name!) Chester was given 120 new Pokestops and gyms for the official Pokemon Go Festival held there last year - they were allowed to keep them after the event! so they are indeed everywhere. I wish we lived nearer; we'd be there every weekend!

I need to stop looking at the nearby scanner at night - a Snorlax shadow has appeared (the only non legendary/regional gen 1 I need) but typically it’s in the middle of a park that isn’t lit at night.

@TheFimbleFowl sent you a friend request!

Apples - I was in Chester recently and was amazed by how many Pokestops there are close together! I had lunch near the town hall and was in range of 5 at the same time!

We go once a year as DH goes to an event nearby. I go shopping and sightseeing.

Thanks TakeAChanseyOnMe

I have a gift ready to send!

Aww that's lovely MonaChopsis - maybe we will get together for a raid in Chester one day!

Oriana - generally catch everything as every little helps. How often can you visit a place with lots of Pokestops? I dont really raid bar level 1/2 ones.

If you’re going to run low, you could only catch ones you don’t have or need candies for, along with the likes of Pidgeys and Whismur that only need 12 candies to evolve. Save up for a mass evolve with a lucky egg.

Almost up to level 25 but it’s hard going! Anyone got any tips for someone who never seems to have time/ be in the right place to battle or raid? Catch everything or be selective? (I keep running out of pokeballs).

ApplesinmyPocket that was me! I also live in a small village, Chester is just over an hour away but am contemplating a Community Day there if I don't have my daughter with me. I have just friended your daughter, would be goodness to have someone on my friends list that I might actually meet!

3984 7810 3279 Is me. I’m in a major city so not worried about location. No boxes yet but I only spun one stop today.

I've friended away

And, interestingly, the egg is shown as being from Murinae's home town...

MonaChopsis Yeah. It’s from the location she picked up the egg.

Just like if you go abroad and pick up an egg, then come back to the UK, the egg and subsequent Pokémon will be from the location you found the egg.

Hi cravingsilence and anyone else who has space for a few more friends!

My adult DD (29) is a keen player and we only have a small group in our village (just 6 of us) so she would LOVE more friends.

Her code is 9153 6391 2705 and her username is ss22

Someone in the previous thread was asking about Chester I seem to recall - we always go to Chester for Community Days, even though it's three changes of train from where we are - it must be one of the best, if not THE best, UK town for Pokemon - it hosted a really special Pokemon day last year - there's always a fabulous atmosphere, zillions of spawns, players everywhere and it's a very pedestrian friendly town too - with lots of interesting Roman bits and pieces - WELL worth a visit.

Awww so purdy!

Hi, I posted a few times on the early threads under a different name and have been lurking ever since. I know no one in real life who plays, even my own children think I'm sad. I am way too socially inadequate to approach people who might be raiding, but I would love some friends so here's my code - 7493 6091 7385 .

Ok. I shall be adding all those who's like friends, and here's my code!
2615 9584 9710

I have friended away and will gift as much as I can.

Also I see the same names in gyms and on raids so I know most of the active user names in my town and a few in person just from chatting if we're both at a gym etc.
Again completely understand if people want to play solo but everyone I've met has been lovely so far.

TangelasVine I’m not a solo player. I’m an original member of our very active raid group, which is pretty large for a small town.

The friends cap is one of the reasons I won’t share my trainer code here, as I know pretty much all players in our town, along with the fact that I don’t have enough gifts to send to the players I do see every day nevermind online ones

Hi, I've been lurking on these threads for ages but have come out of lurkdom to post my code - would be great to have some friends from here as I know no one in rl that plays!

My code is 2730 6333 5840.

I've added everyone who's posted their code here so if you have a friend request from MickSturbs - that's me!

I wish I had more gifts to give. Working in London next week and my client is a pokestop so should pick up a load then

Eviecharlotte thank you for my gift

Loving all the lurkers coming out of the woodwork!! Its a pity we don't all live closer, we could have a Mumsnet raiding day/trading day!
