Pokemon Go #5. In which Grimer runs a Muk and gets slapped round the chops with a Flappy Fish.

Will one of you lot start the next thread when it gets to about 970ish posts. I'm going to get moaned at again, I can feel it in me water.

I now have 13 Festive!Pikachus & 41 Pikachu candy... whether or not I catch any more by next time I run a lucky egg, I will be able to evolve a Festive!Raichu

Also caught an Abra on the way home from Brownies. Which cheered up my Assistant Leader a bit as she was getting all frustrated over deciding to come what turned out to be The Wrong Way. Seriously. She doesn't play, she is just very lovely & we were both utterly exhausted so something nice happening perked her up some. Now have 123 candy as gained one while writing this post! Was torn between just walking another 6km OR heading back over to where we were as it looks like it might be a spawn, but decided to try latter & am now walking bulbasaur to try to get those last precious 11 candies to get my precious Venusaur...

I need 52 Charmander candies, 53 Dratini candies & 1 Geodude candy to complete my final evolutions. On which basis have just swapped to walk my Geodude & made happy HAPPY discovery I only have to walk him 1km for a candy. Yay!

Right then, back to sleep for me. I love my Brownies, they are awesome small people, but doing the Dancer badge with them has almost killed me. Again. They felt like "beautiful ballerinas" though. And two very shy Brownies actually volunteered to narrate & did a great job. So it was totally worth it. AND it let me publicly thank some of the parents who support the Unit.

5km egg a meowth as if were not all fed up of him after Halloween.

Where's my bloody Tangela!?

Only got 2 cooking now, a pre-announcement 10km and a post announcement 5km. All my eggs left are now 5km, fingers crossed there's a togepi or pichu in there somewhere!

Delurking to say hello. My friends and Husband think I'm slightly mad for being addicted to Pokemon Go but I love it. My husband will help me out though and walk my buddy when he's on his way to work.

I don't know any "real life" adults who play so I don't feel so alone when I come on here.

Currently on level 26 but did the level speed calculator last night and it's going to take me 8 years to get to level 40 .

Here's the link if anyone wants to give it a go.

trainerlevelspeed.de/#xp=500099&date=8/10/2016

Can't get that calculator to work I can type in the date and total xp but it won't or me change level or calculate it.

Probably be about a decade anyway!

Will lose my streaks today as I can't go out now so will restart tomorrow. Managed to get about 7 festive pikachus though, a way off festive raichu!

I caught a lapras yesterday while waiting at the lights at earlsfield station! Took two raspberries and three ultra balls and it set me up for the day!

So I now have 6 Pikachus (one normal and 5 festive) after having none until a month ago. I still have NO DITTO

That calculator says it'll take me 5 years to get to level 40 (currently level 28, having joined in July)

I usually add about 7,000 points a day plus an extra 60,000 every ten days but I'm not going anywhere near that calculator because I really don't want to know. I'd rather kid myself for weeks about being "nearly there".

Tried the calculator, got it to work once I realised you have to put in your running total. I started playing on 13th October and I'm on level 27, it reckons it'll take me 2 years and 7 months to get to level 40. I think that's a sad indictment of just how much time I spend playing it. LOL!

Such as last night, 13 candies away from a Charizard as I needed to do the double evolution to get it, only had one evolved Charmeleon and didn't want to use it. Looked at my nearbys just before going to bed and saw that there was a Charmeleon at a nearby pokestop so I got my shoes and coat on and legged it down there in time to catch it. So glad I hadn't had time to do my lucky egg session yet. :)

I got enough pikachus to evolve a raichu which I am very chuffed with. I also hatched an igglybuff, elekid and cleffa! On the downside, I went to visit what had been a bulbasaur nest near where I live and it's changed into a venonat nest. :(

Productive walk around leazes park. Have 82 candy now. Already transferred a few and left some alone in the middle of a very squelchy field.

And another screenshot of an appropriately spawned Pokémon:o

Oh happy day - I finally saw a Scyther. I caught it and then caught it again when it respawned later. It made up for the egg of the day being a Krabby rather than something new and exciting.

5k egg was a ponyta.....

Just picked up a 10k egg.

My 10k egg was a Kabuto would of been pleased normally as still need more candy to evolve but got no gen 2 yet .. trying my 2 k .

My 2k was a Spearow

Found a Bulbasaur nest, didn't manage to bag too many but will be putting some extra effort to go to that particular park in the new few days.

Hatched a Cubone again and an Ekans which I need because I don't have an Arbok.

Still waiting for that elusive baby Pokemon

I have enough candy for Raichu and Scizor. I am now walking Sandshrew, will swap to Geodude when I reach 50 candies. Eggs hatched today were a male Nidoran and a Krabby. At last I've got another 10km egg, moments after deciding to use my 3 use incubator alongside the infinite one.

I have a feeling I'm going to spend money on storage and incubators before long.

OMG A SNORLAX, I GOT A SNORLAX!

That's so odd- there were 3 red gyms on my map and all 3 suddenly turned grey almost simultaniously. And they are still grey. The only gym that belongs to a team is a blue one.

Yesterday I went to Surrey. I managed to get almost 200 balls just by hitting pokestops from the train. Today I have only 56 remaining as DD just chucked them all at stuff. She also got a ditto, of which she was super excited.

My pokedex has expanded and is showing that I have seen an electakid. I have not.

Congratulations Bolivar!

I knock over gyms and walk away but I haven't been out since this morning so it's not me. I do it when I know that I haven't a chance of holding it until the next time to collect coins so there's no point putting something in that I'll have to revive later. I will have to rethink this though because first thing yesterday morning I popped in a tiny Rattata just to claim the coins and it's still there.

Ok, this is just bullshit. For the second time this week I have hatched a charmander and for the second time this week it didn't have any candies with him. I thought that all hatched were supposed to have candy with them?

Icould usually you see flames when a gym is being taken down. These 3 had nothing, one moment they were red the next grey.

A ds1 joke:

What do you give a poorly Pokémon?

Parasectamol.

Dillite, it might have been bot players getting kicked off by niantic?
