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

I bought extra Pokemon storage and extra item storage. I spent £3:16 when I first downloaded the game on increasing each by 50. I've since increased my item storage to 500 using pokecoins -
I think it's worth it especially at higher levels when the Pokemon are harder to catch so you can use up loads of balls very quickly.

I have found extra Pokemon storage helpful on the higher levels as it takes so my xp to level up you need the max possible form each lucky egg to even make a dent so being able to store enough rubbish to evolve and not have the worry about missing the rarer things you need makes it easier. That said it's also increasingly boring as you level up so while I spent real money in the beginning I would only spend poke coins on it now

I upgraded the bag to 450 and the number of Pokemon to 300. That's just about OK at the moment (L24; 111 in the pokedex).

It was a pretty good day today making the most of the new nests and spawn sites. I caught a few Pinsirs and an Omanyte. Also a Muk. All firsts. Plus my second elekrabuzz, which was quite exciting.

Has anyone else noticed fewer pidgeys, weedles and caterpies since the upgrade? Still no drowsee shortage though!

Wow poke what an amazing day. Where did you find a Lapras???

Thanks for sharing what you have done with bag upgrades. I've decided I'll do the Pokemon first and then the bag. I'm also not spending any more money (spent 7.98 at the beginning) so need to collect coins.

It was my Mum that found the Lapras as I was driving luckily I didn't crash the car. It was in a road a few hundred metres from the harbour. I don't use pokevision so it was a really good find.

I found another one in the wild before but it ran away and I have hatched 3 others. Today's Lapras was only 396 CP so I was both happy and disappointed 😂

On average how many evolutions can you get through in one lucky egg time?

I really wish the video sequence was shorter!

I'm so jealous of all these Lapras!!! I've not even ever seen a shadow of one.

My best lucky egg session got me 75k and that was including 6 or 7 new ones. Nowadays I only have one or two new ones per session so the best I've managed is 69k.

Nutella, I've only got one lapras. I was just lucky to be in the right place at the right time and that it had great CP, HP and IVs.

You know what I would like to see? A facility to message other players via the app. I see the same team mystic usernames in the gyms locally and would to be able to band us together properly to tackle nearby villages! It would also be useful like today when I have left 3 open slots in local gyms, to be able to ping a message round, asking team mates to pop a Pokemon in the gap ASAP. I don't always check all my regular gyms out but would divert to them if I had had a shout out to do so.

Frogtime some people wait until they have about 60 evolutions to do, but I'm too impatient and my pokemon storage is filling up so I am going to do one soon. I've saved up about 30. I label them all as favourites so that they are easier to find quickly. Have a lucky egg that I am going to set off at the same time. Unfortunately I only have 1 left after that and since I have only just reached level 22 it will be years before I get anymore again from levelling up. I'll also do it soon because I'm getting a bit bored of the game now and hopefully will provide some excitement for half an hour! It's a treat for when I have finished some work that I have to do.

I upgraded my pokemon storage once and bag storage a few times. Been seeing some different pokemon since last update - pidgey/Weedle/venonat spawn spot now spawns shellder, and been seeing ivysaur nearby. All the best/rarest ones are on the paper factory grounds though so can't get them :(

I'm impatient too tumpy I've only got enough for about 20 so far and told myself id wait for about 100 but very sure I won't have time to do all 100 at once.
If the consensus is about 60 I'll hang fire as it's my last lucky egg.

£5.56 on Google credit now though, couple more quid to go and those coins are mine!

60 is about my limit.

Right-o I'm waiting. Need 45k to level 22 so if I can get 60 done that'll get a start on 23 too.
Although couldn't help myself, just got my last clefairy so evolved a clefable. quite strong moves but low cp so will need to power up lots.

I need about 15k to get to level 22.. I still have a lucky egg saving for a marathon evolving session.

I'm 3 Candy off my Raichu, hopefully get it today

Evolved Graveler yesterday and caught Machoke the day before as long as I get one new one a day at this point because I'm on 103.

Really don't understand the IV thing, or how you find it out.

I'm living in a pokemon desert now, will have to try Incense when I've finished with all the moving and unpacking.

Everybird I dont get it either!

I'm gutted. I had a spawn spot in my house. It wasnt very prolific, normally approx 8 pokemon a day (mostly drowzees and clefairies recently). However since all the nests/spawns changed 2 days ago mine has completely disappeared. Now I'd be happy if even a pidgey or spearow spawned, but there's zip all.

Great day today went out to try and get the 3 candy I needed for Raichu. Got first Kabuto, first Weezing, and first Sandslash too

I'm a lurker here, but just had to share this beauty hanging around in the work loos!

I had a good day today
Caught enough charm anders to evolve a charmeleon
And Machop was my buddy and got enough candy to evolve a machoke

My bulbasaur nest at work has changed to a charmander nest !

We caught Pikachu today!

My Bulbasaur spawnpoint is gone, and I only needed to catch three more for Venusaur. Mind you, it's my own fault really for evolving a rubbish Bulbasaur to an Ivysaur, before I got the hang of thw IV checker, which wasted candy. Then I had to start again with a decent Bulbasaur. If I hadn't done that, I'd have had my Venusaur ages ago!

Ah well, it's just a matter of having one as a buddy and walking a bit, and meanwhile my spawnpoint has turned into a Squirtle spot. Definite plus there.

Don't you have to walk 3km for one Bulbasaur candy though?

There are pokemon in my house! Nothing better than pidgey and rattatas (and their evolved ilk) but this is very new for me.

I think I may have a rattata nest down the road. The other morning there was a Raticate surrounded by about 7 rattatas. It looked like a king being worshipped by its minions.
