With the upcoming Swinub community day, honouring the year of the pig, it had to be done.

I haven’t managed to get on here much lately although I have been quickly scanning for any egg shout outs.

SirNils I’ve added your DS if that’s ok.

Also, is Willmagikarp Ginupgirl and Wurzelperry we are about to go Best Friends if you fancy coordinating an egg and I can stop DS2 opening every gift in sight.

Sorry if I’ve turned down any trainer battles but have been a bit embroiled in something. Am usually up for battles after 8 pm, if that’s ok with Wailmer.

My seven year old has decided that the account he has been using is all wrong, and has insisted on starting a new one. This may be because he wants to be yellow. He won’t be told that it’s a mug’s game. Oh well, he’ll learn! (Predominantly blue and red area)

So we now have five accounts in a family of four. Community days are tricksy beasts!

I haven’t said anyone is playing the game wrong; there’s no need to be so dramatic. The game can be played however you like, but if you use a feature in a way it’s not intended for of course you’re going to come up against issues.

JuniLoolaPalooza · 18/02/2019 14:24

Haha sneaky I was like 'ooh gardevoir raids?!'.

I got a shiny swinub on Saturday, yay!

Glad it's not just me having pokegenie issues. Only problem now is that my google play isn't being very good so I can't update it! GAH!

putthehamsterbackinitscage · 18/02/2019 10:27

@SirNilsOlav I'm going to open his gift later or tomorrow...

@BaronessBomburst - we can level up next interaction - do you want to put an egg on later or tomorrow?

TallulahBetty · 18/02/2019 09:29

Yea SirNils I feel like that too. People can play the game the way they want, And shouldn't be lectured at or told their suggestions are silly. That is rude and not needed. This is supposed to be a fun thread about a fun game, but I don't find it fun reading some posts.

DarthBraider & Grebothecat
I’m really sorry, but I think my DS has just triggered our getting to Great and Ultra friends. Hope you’ve still got time to put an egg on.

SirNilsOlav · 18/02/2019 09:06

Actually it sometimes feels a bit like we come on one thread to be lectured at over and over about how we're all playing the game wrong...

On a less negative note, a massive thanks to all of DS new friends, he's totally thrilled! He's out of gifts but working at catching everything he sees so he should be able to spin stops to replenish soon.

tumpymummy · 18/02/2019 09:04

soubriquet you could have had one of mine, they're a real bugger to catch, take loads of balls!

Soubriquet · 18/02/2019 06:55

Another blooming entei for my 7 day field research.

Where the hell is my Lugia?!!!

Gald you think of us all as Internet randoms,

Of course we are, what else would we be? We all come together on one thread to discuss Pokemon; were not pouring our hearts out to each other.

PickAChew Fair enough if you’re friends outside of this thread too, but nobody has made a genuine friendship out of this thread (and no communication elsewhere) alone.

I mean I've made some damn good friends on this thread hmm just cause I don't know them personally doesn't mean we aren't friends.

SneakyGremlins I’m all for making friends online; heck, I had a couple of them in my wedding party. But that was after years of talking, getting to know each other, learning everything about one another, eventually meeting up in the real world.

Not a few months of random shoutouts to coordinate lucky eggs when half the time you don’t even know each other’s MN/Pokemon names.

In reverse order to the pictures Wink

Thank you for the stone, catchy!

DoctorTwo · 17/02/2019 21:34

Despite being unable to get out yesterday I managed to catch a couple of green pigs, so I'm quite happy.

dillite · 17/02/2019 21:31

catchyjem I am available if you are one of my friends

CookieSwirlC · 17/02/2019 21:28

Haha @MrsJamin DH calls it The Little Shit!

As a side note, I’ve done 4 PvP battles tonight and got a rare candy, a sinnoh stone and two lots of stardust, I thought you only got stuff for the first 3 battles?

MrsJamin · 17/02/2019 21:26

Thanks for the battles, @CookieSwirlC - your sunflora took me by surprise!

catchyjem · 17/02/2019 20:58

Anyone about for a battle?

catchyjem · 17/02/2019 20:58

Finally!

Is 21E*E on here? If so good battle, you have some beasts! (I’m RMPJT)

tumpymummy · 17/02/2019 19:01

MrsJamin well done, how have you managed that?! My most is 3 in a row, so have been stuck on the spinda task for days. Every time I encounter a nosepass or slowpoke or something with a big circle I end up catching it straight away! I need a field of ponytas!!
