Pokemon Go #4. I'm a Pokemon trainer - get Meowth of here!

[DoctorTwo]

Hello you lovely lot. Nowt new today, but at least I caught a couple of Squirtles and have enough candy to get Wartortle, so that's 4 to add to my Pokedex when I do a Lucky Egg mass evolve.

You won't even have enough pokeballs to play the game. Are they hoping w will all spend money on a previous free resource?

I agree Lumpy, when I run out of Pokeballs I refuse to use them on Weedledicks, Pidgeyfuckers, Ratbastards and the like.

I had a delivery today in Lowestoft, about 50m from the seafront. I thought a 20 minute hunt was in order. I caught my first wild Pikachu and hatched a pretty good Bellsprout. Then 2 appeared at once, Machop and Ekans, both new to me. Within a minute they were both added to my Pokedex, so I have now caught 99, seen 113. Oh, a Rapidash ran away. That would've made the ton.

I was going to do a mass evolve tomorrow, but I'll just grind a load up for candy just in case there's a Thanksgiving event, as extra XP, items and candy is always welcome. I have definitely 4 new evolves which could be 7 by next Thursday.

I mean I refuse to use Great and Ultra balls...

I use great and ultra balls - that's what they're for! I got down to 10 balls total last night but have come home with about 100 in credit and a fair bit of catching done.

On balance I'm not sure that the PokeStops are giving that much less. But spawns increased last week and that definitely helped clear my bag out because I was catching more. I was stuck rurally more too which didn't help. I'm going to have stops on tap this weekend which will hopefully help.

Am very close to having enough to evolve (aiming for 80) but need to hold out until Sunday so I can run the lucky egg together with first catch of the day on day 7!

Def giving much less, 3 items max when it was always 4, 5 or more.

I need my good balls for more interesting stuff and if the pokestops aren't giving them out they won't be replenished. I always use normal poke balls then catch everything to level up, that's how I play.

My routines are the same now but I don't have enough balls to play.

I'm hating the drop rate. I've stopped using incense as I don't get enough balls to use. I haven't even done a lucky egg as it's not worth it. It's helping save candy but it's boring! I've made it to 200 balls now but thays taken hours of farming. Fed up.

I did a mass evolve last night and added a couple of new guys to my pokedex- a Poliwrath, a Machamp and something else I think that I can't remember now. I am now only 20k xp away from level 26.

Oh, and Slowbro. I am only 2 candies away from evolving my rhidon, but seeing that I don't see one for months, I may not be able to evolve it for ages more. I am now on 119 caught.

What do you all do witj your very high cp- won't do much in a battle type pokemon? Do you just bin them and evolve them anyway?

Facebook London group tells me all the nests have changed again. And they don't look to exciting. More bad news eh.

No link but hope photo is clear. So glad I got bulbassaur yesterday. What is it with all these commons?

By the way are any of you on that group?

I'm on my cities equivalent fb group, wish I needed to go to London to something! I usually only get sent maybe once a year for work. I'd be all over the kabuto/omanyte/bellsprout nests!

I am thinking of going to London to get some pokemon, but the £36 train fare seems rather excessive for some imaginary creatures. But I do want some decent pokemon though.

Is it me or is the fucking off rate higher this week?

Itd be closer to £100 from here dillite

An abra showed up at home last night and when I clicked on it it disappeared and said error across the top need as many of those as I can get!

Can you book a super saver advance fare dillite? Fifteen quid or so would be a good price for a cultural Christmas shopping trip to our nations great capital - and if some Pokémon should accidentally stumble into your phone at the same time …

I'm sensing that I definitely need to take the DPILs to the Imperial War Museum to see the War Films exhibition when they visit. Last time I went it was all Growlithes which was great, but I really need those Bulbasaurs.

Cheers for the nest update Nutella. That's a shocking collection - fucking Caterpie nests?! On the plus side, I'm going to be able to take a back seat a bit, restock balls with no pressure at lunch and maybe walk alongside the Thames again in search of elusive dratini.

Yes, fuck off rate really high. Keeping my gyms is the only okus but that's probably because other players are fucked off too!?

Okus? Plus

And yes, it's worth a trip to London anyway, with Pokemon as a bonus. Take in the Christmas lights and a museum exhibition or two.

Looks like Strathclyde Park I'd Bulbasaur if that helps any West coast Scotland folk

Yes looks like there are no bulbassaur in the imperial war museum anymore. Nests have changed today. Don't book any tickets without checking it!

This happened to me last time with Holland Park. Went there the day after nest changed and got bugger all.

Oh bother. On the upside I got enough Pikachus from Brockwell Park while it had a nest to upload to Raichu so maybe it will change to something useful.

I'm going to London tomorrow. I won't have time to be going to specific places just to catch pokemon, but it will be the first London pokemon hunting for me so I'm excited to see what it's like. Taking my chargers with me

Cartwheel Girl - the stretch of river down by the Eye seems to be consistently good. So if all else fails, half an hour in the crowds there will make you feel as though you've got something!

I just put my lickitung in a gym I had reclaimed. It's one that changes hands half daily so I think it's an appropriate Pokemon for the job. I do try to leave interesting ones in if I think they won't hold long.

That's a great tip, JellyWitch, thank you. I will be within walking distance from London Eye so should be able to get there for a bit.
