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!

Hm. I installed fastpokemap and it doesn't show anything at all...

It doesn't work on my (android) phone so I use my iPad and it works there. A Persian is showing in my nearby but when I checked the map it is over the railway at the back so not worth looking for it

Had anyone noticed when putting eggs on to incubate now there is a little trainer picture? I'm wondering if that means there will still be eggs that need potions? Also while at a poke stop today I saw my lady walking past through the stop is that new or have I never paid attention before?

I was at a Lurve module yesterday and the names of the kids who had put it on was there..I really did not like this feature.

I put on aegg on yesterday and noticed it going in a bubble never noticed before.

Isn't it just user names rather than the actual name of the player (who isn't necessarily a child!)

I think FastPokeMap has glitches occasionally when it picks up nothing (it did for me this morning but then found some a short while later) but I've found it generally reliable.

It gives the user name on the lure not the proper name

Never had to pop the bubbles

The bubble thing as been a while noticed it my accident but sure at the beginning you did. The username has always been there but you used to have to click on the lure and I don't think many people did now it's just there.

I've never had to pop the bubbles either

Just spin and close

the ones I saw was names like Harry and Sarah.. I guess this is the awarenss thing..Never really clicked on lure before

Got into 10 gyms and collected my coins this morning - first time ever! Still no Aerodactyl :( Up to 9 bloody gyarados fgs! Half way through level 30, 500k XP is just ridiculous - really not feeling the love for this stupid game at the moment

I've never had to pop bubbles since day one, I'm not sure it's a new feature.

The names have been on lures for a while too but you used to have to tap on the pink bit to bring it up.
I'd rather see how long is left on it than the username to be honest. I dashed to get a coffee today and planned to sit at a lure, but it had finished by the time I got back, I'd have parked my arse there for the last ten minutes and got coffee after if I'd know haha.

pokemongo your parents sound loads of fun, I want to come on a car ride with you :)

I've caught my first new Pokemon in weeks, a dratini in bishop auckland. I almost pissed myself with excitement as it's been soooooo long since I've seen a shadow. Also managed to take down a gymn and get 10 coins.

The dip in weather has put me off going out so much, Bloody freezing today, I ve had a 10 km egg that id usually hatch in by day or two but I think it's been almost a week now.

I'm now at seen/caught 133 and level 26 where I've been for about three or four weeks now.

I caught a Seadra and an Electabuzz today, making it caught 67, seen 68. For the 1st time I saw a Pikachu shadow but couldn't track it down. Looking at my eggs, I have 5x5km eggs and 4x10 and only one incubator. I reckon I'm going to wait to get to Level 20, drop a Lucky Egg and evolve everything I can. That means grinding loads of Pidgeys, Ratattas, Weedles and Drowzees for candy but I'll need the space in my Pokebag.

I think I'm going to have to install FastPokeMap if I want a Pikachu.

I caught a Blastoise today!
but no one in real life understands

I'm still hoping to catch/hatch a Bulbasaur. Does anyone know where one can be reliabily be caught in the London area?

Shit day today. Long walk and hatched a 5k egg with a bloody Drowzee.

And 3 2k eggs: a weedle, a caterpie and a rattata.

kpo Holland Park right now (and at every other time)

I was near there on Saturday (and went the other way from High Street Kensington station to Hyde Park)!

I did find a Kabuto at the station and many Clefairy in Hyde Park though.

I don't get any choice to avoid the weather. 4k of school run every bloody weekday!

Ds1 was suitably amused by the lickitung I caught in the garden across the road, this afternoon. Not his first, but the novelty of that one will never wear off!

Caught a lot of the usual crap lately so I can do some evolves with a lucky egg (haven't been bothering to catch them for the last few weeks) but nothing new. Still really far off getting a gyrados.

Clearly I need to go to London again and this time actually do some pokemon hunting instead of getting distracted!

Found an amazing soft play yesterday - 35 Pokemon in the 4 hrs I was sat there, unfortunately the pokestop was just out of reach but hey can't have everything!!!

Evening!

Had a mediocre day today, only good thing was a vulpix hatch, it's not a new one but only caught 1 before so that really helped with candy.

I'm only on 6/10k on my one and only 10k egg - getting impatient but no time to go walking other than to and from the bus stop. Be the weekend before I crack it I think.

What's this about bubbles? I see no bubbles?

Bubbles after you spin the pokestop. They contain the items
