@BaronessBomburst I think I levelled up friends though? I was concentrating on my bacon sarnie rather than pogo at 10am Blush

Sorry @BaronessBomburst only just read today's posts as I was at parkrun this am and in the cafe...

We don’t have any kids in our raid group. There are a few parents of course, with kids of various ages, but none are actually interested in the game.

I’d say during community days we only ever have one or two children above five, if that, and they spend the entire time wanting to go home Xmas Grin

@TalullahBetty it so is. Some community days I look like the sodding Pied Piper of Hamelin! Only with a phone instead of a flute. It's fantastic wandering around with a dozen or so kids all asking questions at the same time and having to sit down and get them to ask in turn. It's an absolute privilege and of course I love it. These kids are the future of the game and their questions need to be taken seriously.

Right back atcha, Funnel Xmas Smile

Soubriquet You can tell if a Pokemon is shiny as it will have stars floating across its screen and also when you’re scrolling through your Pokemon they have three diamonds/stars in the top left corner Smile

If a Pokemon has neither of those, it’s not shiny.

Thanks everyone for this mornings level up session!

WitchSharkadder · 22/12/2018 11:16

Alolan Ninetails is my favourite Smile

Soubriquet · 22/12/2018 10:15

Aaaaah ok

My gf has an alolan sandshrew which is pretty cool

WitchSharkadder · 22/12/2018 10:14

Soub, Alola is the Gen 7 region. Some Kanto Pokemon have Alolan versions (Meowth, Grimer, Rattata, Vulpix etc) that Niantic made available via 7k eggs earlier this year. You can only get 7k eggs from gifts.

Soubriquet · 22/12/2018 10:11

What does alolan mean?

pottypotamus · 22/12/2018 10:08

@putthehamsterbackinitscage
Hi hamster, do you have a gift to send my DH, 'bansriish0m0'? He's out of gifts unfortunately.

Luco006 · 22/12/2018 10:07

Thank you @putthehamsterbackinitscage

BaronessBomburst · 22/12/2018 10:03

Hamster do you have a gift from SilkeCat? He doesn't have any to send on that account.

WitchSharkadder · 22/12/2018 10:00

Ready!

SneakyGremlinsBrokeTheSleigh · 22/12/2018 09:59

Did an EX raid today and met some lovely people. And caught Deoxys! I met an over excited 7 year old who loved my shiny Kyogres (not a euphemism) and 2 Canadians who were going to a panto later that afternoon. They didn't know (oh yes they did!) what they were letting themselves into.

@TallulahBetty
That's fabulous! I'm jealous too as I've only ever seen one stantler. I did catch it. Smile

TallulahBetty · 21/12/2018 21:31

If only shiny Stantler was out with a red nose..
