Pokemon Go #2. 6 balls to catch a Pidgey?!?

[DoctorTwo]

I'm a couple of thousand XP from level 20. Once there I might just grind up all the rubbish for candies and evolve the best ones.

I'm now the proud owner of 3 pikachu!

DS just hatched his 5th Snorlax.
Not faaaaiiiirrrr

Yay I am 3 candies to go with my buddy until I can have a Rapidash

My 10km egg hatched into a Scyther! That's the first new addition to my Pokedex for neaarly two weeks.

So jealous of all your catches!

I hatched a magikarp today

I saw a Chancey shadow today. Couldn't find it tho

I've never had a shadow of one Queen

2k egg was a fucking Rattata

Twitter says that FastPokeMap should be back Friday or Saturday and that they are currently testing it. :) fingers crossed!

That'll be great if they can get Fastpokemap back. I really miss it. I really think having an accurate tracker enhances the game. I wondered around our streets last night looking for a kabbuto, never found it. With a tracker I also venture to parts of town i would never normally go, but no point when I dont even know where spawn spots are.
Anyone done the new update yet? I cant see much difference except evolve times are meant to be quicker which will be good. Waiting until I get my last 2 candies for my ponyta buddy then ready to do a mass evolve. Does anyone ever set off an incense or lure at the same time as the lucky egg? Im guessing there wont be enough time with evolving (I have approx 44 to evolve)

I do all my evolving at home on the wifi. 60-70 evolves take the 30 minutes up. Stupidly did one this morning before I updated. Oh well.

I know have an arcanine, a ninetales, a sandslash and a superb Nidoqueen with earthquake as her main move (tried her against a gyrados earlier and she wiped it out!).

Aaah didn't know about the update!
That is probably why all the gyms are going up in levels all of a sudden.

The reduction in evolve times should help you tumpy. I have loads and loads to do as well, I usually set off a lure as well. Going to wait until this weekend (I'm going to London).

Hatched a Duduo yesterday. Something new in ages!

Has anybody actually spent any money and bought coins? I'm really tempted to get a load of incubators on the go but I've only got enough coins for 1.

I hatched a 2k egg yesterday..It was a weedle!!! I went on a level 6 gym yesterday..It only had one pokemon on it so added mine..Have been able to collect again this morning.

I want to buy more coins and get some incubators as I'm riding several kilometres every day now taking DD to daycare, and my person runs around like a maniac if I just leave it open at home. Hatched a Bulbasaur and a Squirtle today, got another 2k egg about to hatch, will probably hatch before I even leave the house. And less than a km to go before Pikachu goes on my shoulder!

There's a competition to win £10 Google play voucher at pokemon151 - might be worth trying your luck, you could buy loads of pokecoins for £10.

"Has anybody actually spent any money and bought coins?"

My hubby does. He bought 2,500 pokecoins for 14.99 early in the game, and he's in all local high level gyms, so he's now earning coins by just being there. I'm not sure it would help as much now (I'm level 24) because progress is slower and getting into strong gyms is harder. I don't mind hubby paying - it's saved him loads of time! - but I personally don't want to spend money on a game. It just doesn't feel right for me.

I spent a bit back in August. Taking it in from gyms instead now. Claiming for 6-8 a day.

There is only one gym in my area i can reliably take.

In town they change hands every 5 mins. So i only get 10-20 coins a day.

They change that fast near work but at home I've held one for a month now and another for three weeks; will be most put out when they get taken!

Liking the new update in terms of distances. Seems far more realistic today. Still a bit jumpy but I can cope with jumpy if I don't also feel shortchanged!

I bought the £14.99 pack a while back. I am a gym vulture but it's not consistent so I only get coins minimally. But I still have 1200 left . I upgraded my backpack a couple of times but other than that I really just buy incubators. And often only use them just for 10k eggs.

Decided the power of positive thinking was going to ensure my 10k egg was a snorlax. I hatched a magmar instead. Oh well

Fuckin Pidgey in a 2k egg.

Ive deleted the app it just wouldnt let me sughn back in i requested to change password and it kept saying they had sebt me a link but they hadnt. Very frustrating as i was enjoying the walks.

I spent due to lack of local pokestops and gyms. Needed to spend for balls as there are pokemon and no way to get them! I ended up upgrading storage so I stock up in the city when I go for work. I can't gain more than 20 coins from gyms ans they never last. Whereas I was in a gym for 8 days elsewhere.
Apparently dragonite spawned locally today. Rage.
