That PokeAssistant link is really helpful, thanks knitting. Is it wrong that I have more PokemonGo related links bookmarked than news sites? Shock :o

I have enough Shellder candy to evolve a Very Angry Vulva. I still need 30 Bellsprout candy to get a Victreebell so that's 90km walking required...

Had a Bulbasaur searching day. Im 5 candy from Venosaur. So near yet so far!

BumWad · 06/11/2016 23:31

Went to my parents today, could not believe the variety on my sightings, Machop, Ponyta, Jigglypuff, Growlithe, Abra, Vulpix. There were loads! Unfortunately it was a flying visit so will be going back mid-week. Also saw another grey, I'm pretty sure it was a Tangela! Couldn't find that either.

Also had an Onyx turned up on my sightings when I was sat on the sofa, quickly out my hoodie on and went for a wander with DS but could not find it.

BumWad · 06/11/2016 23:47

I just caught a Goldeen (got shit loads) and got 700 stardust for it!! Shock is this the bonus thing do you think?

MuddlingMackem · 06/11/2016 23:51

Went out tonight at DD's insistance to nab a vacant place in our team's gym, only to arrive there and discover it had been taken over. Did my first ever battles and got the gym back. Very chuffed with myself, although I doubt I'll stay there long enough to claim any coins. However, on the off-chance I do, how do you claim them?

Also, on the way there I caught a Jigglypuff and on the way back hatched one from my 5km egg, so now I have enough candy for a Wigglytuff at my next evolving session. Good day. Grin

IhatchedaSnorlax · 07/11/2016 00:14

You claim the coins as soon as you get the gym (unless your timer hasn't run out yet as you need to wait 21 hrs before claiming coins). Go to shop & click on green shield on top right corner to collect them.

IhatchedaSnorlax · 07/11/2016 00:16

To be clear, there's a 21 hour wait to collect coins after you've collected them in the first instance but if you've not collected them previously / in last 21 hours, then you can claim them immediately on getting into the gym.

PickAChew · 07/11/2016 00:26

Yes, the bonuses have started.

Well the timing has clearly gone wonky somewhere, but I just (2347) got awarded 500XP for my first catch of the day - which very much was NOT the first catch of Sunday, but maybe the servers are confused & think it's already Monday?!

I finally managed to evolve my Wheezing (still sounds so wrong..) on Friday morning by walking my Koffing buddy. Walked Eggsecute from then & have just got a candy - I've only been out to GP to collect prescription & to Brownies & latter did not permit Pokémon-ing as got lifts to & from. Have played on & off over weekend, but my avatar doesn't walk much at home. The spawn spot over the road has started to produce things other than the interminable procession of rattata, pidgey & spearow - still plenty of them (well, this is Inner London, it'd be wrong & unrealistic not to have rats & pigeons all over everywhere...) but other things breaking up the monotony now.

Am hoping that I'll be well enough to go to ballet, um, later (it seems to be past bedtime, I blame the cats...) & then go on a Pokémon Hunt up in town. And my hospital appointment at Guy's on Thursday is bound to be so late I have to miss ballet (because that clinic is ALWAYS hours behind...) so I plan to head over to the IWM after that because I need about a billion bulbasaurs...

Really annoying that Guy's is nowhere near as good as Tommy's for Pokémon when am guaranteed to be trapped there for so long. Grump. Although it was a tiny bit embarrassing last week when I was catching a Pokémon when called into my appointment in the pain clinic & as I went to put my phone on silent, inwardly lamenting the waste, had to explain to the nurse specialist who manages my care & the opiate clinic lead (who I was meeting for the first time) that no I very much was not taking a photo of the consulting room I was trying to catch a tiny monster with my phone & they had interrupted me Blush

Have swapped to buddy a Grimer as need 10 more candy to evolve & I've not seen any info on hotspots, whilst I might be able to get myself to somewhere eggsecutes are known to be. With both of them it's been a case of one caught & one hatched - the Grimer I caught the first time I went through the "new" London Bridge to the underground (even that could not make me kindly disposed towards the new set-up); the Eggsecute was on a train - having been inspired by this thread to look up maps I now know there is/was a nest near the Millwall stadium: I must have been VERY lucky timing-wise!

MuddlingMackem · 07/11/2016 00:28

Woo hoo! Thanks. Just collected my first 10 coins. DD will be thrilled. Just need to get her in a gym somewhere now so she can do that for herself. Grin Can't see me getting in gyms very often, so I'll remember to check for coins straight away in future as I think there will most likely be more than 21 hours between.

ZebraOwl · 07/11/2016 00:36

My second first catch of the day. Well this one actually was, but that makes the last one awf'y confusing. Not going to say no to the XP though...

(It was a pidgey. And just in case anyone's wondering, the backdrop there's my PJs & they're nicer than they look in Pokéblur... what was it I said about past bedtime again...?)

Good news on the bonus.
Bad news: just read on Twitter that pokestops will now be speed locked and won't work if you're in the car or bus. If thats true it will be really annoying.

Good news: apparently if you take an enemy gym it's now locked for you for a few minutes to stop others taking it from you.

Thoughts?

TallulahBetty · 07/11/2016 07:38

Gutted about the pokestops. I understand not being able to hatch eggs at speed, but how is it cheating by getting items at speed? Angry

SailingThroughTime · 07/11/2016 07:49

Bad newz about the Pokestops but I don't know if it's happened here yet. I'm sure DH would have texted from the bus if it had.

jennielou75 · 07/11/2016 08:02

I was only getting every other poke stop in the car this morning so could be true. I was getting the come back later message.

LongtimeLurkerNowPokemonHunter · 07/11/2016 08:07

"try later" usually means you've got them Jennie

DoYouRememberJustinBobby · 07/11/2016 08:11

If pokestops are speed blocked then that's the end of the road for me with the game. When I'm in pain with my chronic illness I am unable to walk so the only way I can get balls is to pick them up when I'm a passenger in a car. What a shame.

SailingThroughTime · 07/11/2016 08:11

I've texted DH to find out. The 5 past the hour Pokemon we've been having for the past few days has failed to show up as well. Sad

SailingThroughTime · 07/11/2016 08:15

Rattata at 10 past (late-rude!) ran off for me and DS who is home from school with tummy pain and vomming.
DH also said he had lots of Try Again Later and that fighting up a gym was much harder.

LongtimeLurkerNowPokemonHunter · 07/11/2016 08:17

The spawn in my bedroom has moved down the street. Rude!

Natsku · 07/11/2016 08:40

That sucks about the pokestops. Nice to have the daily bonuses though.

JellyWitch · 07/11/2016 09:09

Sailing - I have a DS off school with vomiting too - joys of the time of year. Am hoping he feels up to a walk later to restock on balls - would be miffed not to get my PokeStop bonus.

SailingThroughTime · 07/11/2016 09:16

I'll be popping out when DH gets home from work. I levelled up to 30 yesterday so I'm considering using my incense but toming it to start straight after a vomit as we've got a 1 hour gap at the moment (only bile leftEnvy)

nuttelladreams · 07/11/2016 09:44

Longtime I got the "try later" message and when I checked the journal it was not there so it's definitely blocked. Very annoying indeed. This meant I've missed out on 3 this morning but got the ones when traffic was stationary. Oh well.

ZebraOwl · 07/11/2016 10:22

That's pants re: locked Pokéstops - hitting them on my train journeys both makes dealing with SE Fail more bearable & lets me stock up on Pokéballs for when I'm then stuck at home for days. Boo you, Niantec, boo you...
