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!

Done my mass evolve. Got 69k points and have moved to level 26. Now need 200k :/
123 on pokedex and 10 lines on bingo.
I'm also planning a sneaky trip during working hours to tower bridge. I will be gutted if I don't find a pikachu!

Does anyone ever power up their pokemon before evolving if you have spare candies?

I have done in the past with my dowsers as I have thousands of the things

Got him to 700 I think and he turned into one at about 1450 - I could then evolve him a little bit before my trainer level was too low.

I'm going to have to schedule another trip to London in a few weeks, I can't get out and about at the moment but soon as I can my search will be on again thankfully I live on a PokeStop

pepsi I saw a shadow once a few weeks ago but this electrabuzz came out of nowhere when sat at home. I get NOTHING at home usually. Doubt ill get another one!

Hoping to finish off the 1.3k on 2 5k eggs left over tomorrow so I can start cooking my first and only 10k egg. Really hoping for something I haven't got already

DS2 told me I should always power up fully before evolving them as evolving doubles the CP.

We got our first wild pikachu today (hatched one when not long after I started playing!). I read -probably on here- they were in Tynemouth so we went after DS's karate grading in North Shields and he caught one not long after we left the car! Good reward for his brown and white belt

Our ponyta buddy got us enough candy to evolve her into a rapidash too- they are lovely.

SoupDragon I wish the CP did double on evolution but it doesn't

I evolved my 800+ Ponyta yesterday and it only went to 1400+. I was gutted.

Have done so well today I'm chuffed. Local event

2 Pikachu showed only caught one but I got my first Electabuzz, Nidorina, and Porygon for the Pokedex

Also got Cubone, Growlithe, Machop, Nidorin m/f, several Paras, Eavee, Mankey, Charmander, an exeggecute, lots that I hardly ever get. Well worth it

I have 36km to walk before I can evolve my ponyta, which will be the day I use a lucky egg and evolve everything else in my inventory of monsters! I'm already prepared to evolve two Eevees, a Kabuto, and a fair few other things.

Got into three gyms at once today and hatched my first Doduo, so very good all round!

I have three bingo lines, btw.

Not caught anything new over weekend, other than a wander around the block I've done really done much playing at all, recieved 10k egg which is incubating and caught an Abra on my doorstep and a lickitung at my Mums today, other than that it's been pidgeys and hats of disappointment.

DS1 tells me that different Pokemon have different multipliers.

From Google, average for a Ponyta is 1.49

I can see two gyms from my settee, I walk past one of them on what is now my daily magikarp hunting walk. I've knocked it over three times today, on two occasions I left it grey. It's Sunday, not raining, let's see who I can tempt out for a walk. It looked like a family of three took it the last time, a high level player and two lower ones.

I have a cp28 electrabuzz 😱😁😨

Good day. My son caught a wild ivysaur which is his favourite Pokemon and we found a machop nest

I caught cp10 Mankey Bet you're all jealous.

Otherwise, stuck inside so it's all hats of disappointment an the odd drowzee.

Ooh no, hang on, the Mankey has a cp of 11! Woah!

I caught a Gengar!

CP... 25. The local gyms are toast, I'm telling you.

I hatched a Machop today from a 5k. Had one already but needed the candy.

2k egg gave a Zubat

I have 4 bingo lines.

Totally just wasted a lucky egg through bad maths.

And only £2.51 in Google credit. Its going to be a long time til I can buy the £8 bag of coins. Stupid 11p surveys!

On the plus side I did get a 1300+ slowbro and a wigglytuff from evolves.

I've had a fab day today. Caught a Lapras and a Snorlax! Also got DP hunting and battling, so I'm hoping he'll get the game when he gets his new phone. I'm now level 23, seen/caught 108, 6 bingo lines.

Oh and hatched my 10k egg today. Another bloody Magmar.

Oh no frog, why? What went wrong?

Eek where do you live? Can I come round?

Those tiny cp poke in may actually be brilliant for gyms.

Bubblestrat is something I've recently read on reddit, it's something about the tiny cp Pokemon with bubble as a move fighting other types and gives a lot of xp and prestige and using the Bubblestrat system you can get enough prestige to have a gym at level 10 in less than 10 minutes and makes it very difficult for it to be taken down while you're defending as you earn loads of prestige.

I'll try find a link but it's made me no bin the tiny cp Pokemon so hastily.
