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!

How do you use the fastpokemap? Is it just a question of opening and seeing what's around you?

I tried it when I saw the shadow of the electabuzz but still couldn't find it.

Hmmm. According to googlemaps, it's a 5 hour drive away. Bit far, even for all the Pikachus in the world...

Anyone else caught themselves muttering 'Fucking Pidgeys' at innocent pigeons wandering about?

Ive had an Electabuzz for ages. It just randomly showed up one evening. It is crap though, only a 240 CP so I cant battle it or doing anything with it.

I dont do it with ordinary pidgeons but when I see a Pidgey in the game and decide to catch it for XP, stardust and for the next big evolve session, if that pidgey breaks free of the ball a couple of times I think oh fuck off you little shit and dont bother trying to catch it! There are hundreds more where that came from.

This really made me laugh

Change its name to cock.....

I've got Onix, Lapras, Gyrados, Jynx for me it's some of the basic fuckers that everyone else seems to have - like a fucking Bulbasaur, seen not a one - got a sniff of a Snorlax once but otherwise no

I dont have an Onix. I have 2 Bulbasaurs never seen a Pikachu, just hatched one once.

I've never even seen a shadow of Snorlax. Getting a bit bored now.

I had despaired of Pikachu but got three close together - didn't get the third

Maybe there is hope yet for more Pikachu.

Does size matter?? I've been adding numbers to Pokemon names based on appraisals but not sure how important that last rating is. If it's brilliant in every way but tiny, do I keep it over one that's less good but colossal?

How do you use the fastpokemap? Is it just a question of opening and seeing what's around you?

Yes. When you first open it you need to pass the big round scan button though.

I did download one with a very similar name which didn't seem to work though.

I don't know if size matters - I've assumed not though. I appraise my Pokemon and put an asterisk by the breathtaking ones. I then run these through one of the online calculators and add their max percentage.

I get well angry when pidgeys and wheedles run away. And that seems to happen quite often these days.

I caught loads of onix when I was in Spain but have never seen any here. I hatched a snorlax on my only ever good egg. Now I only hatch rubbish. And still no 10k.

I am definitely less enthusiastic this week. Done 20k in 3 days and need another 180 to complete this level. No exciting catches either.

I find myself muttering that the Pidgey or Weedle should be bloody grateful that I am paying it attention :o

I've found it easier to catch everything since the last update, hardly any run away

I raise you this in the crap electrabuzz stakes queenliz I'm stuck on 118, I want some new ones!
Have 396 Magikarp candy now. Should I wait and power the little bugger up?

Just caught a 1120cp Seaking outside Morrisons with a single red ball. According to the snotty lady, he is colossal.

God that is a crap Electabuzz LongtimeLurker.

I'd just evolve the magikarp and power up once evolved.

I got a shit dragonair at 72cp or something. Cant do anything with it and must keep catching Dratinis.

Get ready to hate me...

I caught three magikarp at once today and hatched a Snorlax.

I just caught Mr Mine.. again..
Was the Snorlax a 10k egg...That is the only one I really am desperate.

I caught DS1 his first Dratini, this morning. It was just sitting there at the end of our terrace, waiting for me, when I got home from the school run!

So, if he gets home in a bad mood, tonight, I'll transfer the bloody thing!

It's 3 buses to Lumley castle for us, but that's not half the buses we catch on a typical Saturday, anyhow.

Yep, a 10k egg. I've also hatched another Ekans and another Doduo from 5km eggs this week, which means I nearly have enough candy to evolve them, so I am very content!

P.S. Regarding the escaping Pidgeys, look at this comic.

haha!

I'll not share that with DS1. He'll be horrified by the swears :o
