Pokemon Go #1 - the one where we've discovered the gaming board

[FrogTime]

New chapter!

Join in, show us your top guys, how many lines in poke-bingo do you have (I'm 5!), currently 84 seen and caught!

Oh, and we've kept a Pokemon in a gym for the first time ever!

Oh my... Level 20 and received two incubators!

I just took a gym from a higher CP Pokemon with me Snorlax. My first successful battle!

Took my 18 year old to London yesterday, had yet another brilliant pokehunting day, Hyde Park was Clefairy City, managed to catch about 15! Also came home with a Mr Mime, but can't remember where he appeared.

We started at Queens Square, just down from Gt Ormond Street hospital, which seems to be an eggsecute spawning site, then round to Russell Square which seems to be a Ryhorn spawning site.

Caught a bus to Hyde Park, & then walked through to Holland Park, came out of HP with several Bulbasaurs, (new Pokemon for me!) caught a Nidoking in there! Ridiculously excited when I got an Aerodactyl out my egg, only the second 10k egg I've ever got.

Caught the tube to Tower Hill, & managed to snag a couple of Pikachu's, Dragonair, and a Wartortle! Along with the usual collection of Magicarp, Gastly's, Rattata, Pidgey, slowpokes, squirtles etc. etc!

There aren't enough hours in the day

Levelled up to 29 this morning so was able to power up my Dragonite to over 3000
I have ivysaur as my buddy - all I need now is Venusaur and Aerodactyl (other than the 3 regionals) 350000 to level 30 now so I think it's going to be back to pidgey catching to gain XP

So glad the update was all ok for you Pidgey!!

Since the update, I've been unable to use Pokemon go anywhere other than in a WiFi area. .😭

I need a revive myself after seeing that Red is on level 29

I'm slowly getting through level 28 but 29 is a long, long way away.

I evolved a 188CP magikarp with top IVs today and after a bit of powering up I now have a lovely 2000+ Gary. It's my second one.

I seem to be getting more 10k eggs now.

I haven't had a 10k egg for ages !

Great hour Pokemon hunting, went down the sea front saw my first Wild pikachu but he ran away got 4 pikachu candy just by walking though. Got to a gym just as a guy turned it grey, snuck in and took it, it was made hilarious by hearing a man in his 20s screaming NOOOO across the grass

New update is on! Not checked it out yet but I've attached myself to my slowpoke.

I've not had a 10k egg in over month. Anyone know why?
I was also considering having pikachu as my buddy but as u only have one I will wait and see.
Did 8k in walking with my clefairy today by leaving my phone on while stuck in traffic. Is that really bad?
Think my next buddy will be a gastly as I don't have a gengar yet and need 36 more candies at the moment.
100 out of 190k for level 25 but no new ones. Ever. So annoying.

A wild drowzee just appeared and dog didn't even flinch.

You lot are brave to be walking in this heat! I have been holing myself up at home where there's no sun.

I did manage to walk 500m today, so I am halfway to getting a Pikachu candy.

Heat I wish, it's comfortable but still cold enough to wear a hoodie here the garden hasn't recovered from all the rain yet. Hatched a ratatta where's my bulbasaur ???

I now have Squirtle as my buddy. I need 9 Squirtle candies to evolve my Wartortle into a Blastoise.

Am I the only one who didn't know the candy isn't added automatically and you have to tap on it from the Buddy screen? I was raging thinking I'd been duped of my pikachu candy as I'd walked 3km but didn't get the extra Pikachu candy

Today's been one of the better days I've had in a while.

Once I'd claimed my candy I evolved my pikachu, I had two with similar CP but one had IVs of 97 so I evolved him. I know I should have waited and evolved him with lucky egg, but I was too excited :) pokedex now seen/caught 133

Whilst out walking I also caught an exeggcute, scyther, Diglett, lickitung, none of them are new to me but better than pidgeys

My 10k hatched into a 1768cp Snorlax so I'm very very chuffed with that. I already had one but at 150cp he was crap :)

Im going to flick through and see which Pokemon I need the least candy of to evolve and make that my buddy.

My candy is being added to the stash automatically?

I don't understand what you mean as the candies just went onto my total and I didn't have to claim them

My candies also got added without me needing to tap on anything! I went from 31 to 39 today!

I wonder if it's a bug?
Or if it's just android?
I ended up going into the buddy menu and when I tapped on the candy underneath the "walk with your buddy" it took me the pikachu profile and the three candy added onto my current stash one by one.

I'd rather have them add automatically tbh as I'll forget and switch buddies and probably lose the candy if I've not tapped it. Hope it's just a bug and they fix it.

I have Voltorb as my current buddy but I've changed my plan and am going to pop something from the 2k eggs as buddy, as I'll earn the candy three or five times quicker due to having to walk 3 or 5 km for the candy for Pokemon that comes out of 5 and 10 eggs. So I could earn 10 magikarp candy in the same time it would take me to earn 2 dratini candy.

I'm on android and didn't need to tap anything. It just came up on screen 'pikachu has found a candy ' and then it was added

Omg I walked a fair bit today!

My candy automatically add too maybe it's the jailbreak thing bunchof? Today was slow sane old stuff to catch till I went to our local park 3 dodo's in 20 mins wondering if anyone has found nests changing again with this update as never had one there before?

I like the new update with the buddy too, although like others have said am very disappointed that my buddy (my Lapras) doesnt actually follow me around on the screen, that would be really cool.

I have found since the update that the game has been mega laggy today though. Especially if I've tried to look in a gym. The game has crashed on me so many times and getting back in takes several attempts. Hope they sort it out, as it makes it very frustrating, especially as I went out for a walk today especially to catch pokemon and then couldnt!

My tracking went a bit awry again today. Almost ready to evolve to nidoking and nidoqueen but looking g at the cp I should wait and evolve my basic Nidorans up first as they're higher than my nidorino and nidorina. Any recommendations?
