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.

New sightings is actually quite handy. I can see bulbasaurs are clearly spawning at the tennis club quite nearby but just somewhere I never walk past or to. But gonna take a walk in a bit as I need that bulbasaur candy and rarely see them.

I'm just getting annoyed with it again it's just coming up blank.

Yeah this is so frustrating!

Ds1 has caught a chansey and I've seen shadows of them, a few times.

Where pikachu? I forget who lives in London and who doesn't.

I suppose there is a chance of them appearing. I'm off to winter wonderland tomorrow so who knows.

Nutella - if you arwnovwr that way go and harvest eggsecute in Green Park. I have caught an insane number today - enough for 2 more evolves plus candy for powering up. I shall be drowning in eggscutors by the end of this round of nests. And St James' Park for bountiful Ryhorns.

Oh here you all are. Cheers for the new thread again doctor.

I'm not sure about the new feature. I am rural so as you can imagine the Pokestops are over a mile away on each side.

Not caught anything exciting. The local Onix nest has turned into a Voltorb one. And I agree it seems to have gotten harder to catch Pokémon too, I seem to be chucking loads and loads of balls at them then.

As for team yellow they are ruling our village and the next town up. I try to get a few coins. It get kicked out by the end of the day and they seem to level up quickly too. Gone are the days where I was collecting 60-70 coins without having to do anything!

Look who I caught as my first catch of the day. It was my only ball pidgey. Poor dd has been trying to catch every single pidgey ever since, trying to catch a ditto. She did put it into a gym to train against our kabutops. It was cool to see two of them go against each other.

I had a free afternoon in London with DH today. Whilst he is very tolerant of Pokémon catching I didn't think he'd fancy an afternoon of circuits of Green Park
We went on a boat trip from Westminster pier to Greenwich pier with city cruises. I can report that 0 Pokémon appeared and 0 pokestops were hit but the km counted towards the eggs. It was also great to see the city from a different perspective. The Cutty Sark was a clefairy nest.

Got a verify I wasn't a robot..I wonder if this is only change today

I am still in a gym overnight! That has never happened before. It was only level three when I left it. Wonder if I will be able to collect in three hours

Checking in now I've found you all again. We're level 28 now. My DCs love the new sightings update (but we're near loads of Pokestops).

My chansey sightings were in Durham.

Sightings is fixed!

We love the new nearby feature too-though DS when having a quick look last night saw an omanyte, which we didn't have and made me go and catch it!!!

We have caught a lapras in the wild. Hardly getting any eggs at pokestops at the moment 😒

Walking with a kadabra so can evolve (need 9 more candies!)

My sightings is working again. Yay.

The gym prestiging has been fixed! 1000 points now if your Pokemon are half the cp of the defenders. Defending is doable again, as is opening up spots for team mates!

Yay Jelly that is great news!

Bloody hell, just hatched a pikachu from a 2k egg!

Just hit level 31! What a slog to 32!

Bolivar, I remember hatching my first Pikachu. He came with 5 candies and through walking he now has 47.

I have done nothing today but sleep. I suspect the next 3 Saturdays will be the same.

I've had the same since midnight...

I got 2 10k eggs yesterday...Fingers crossed for something good.

I did a thing! I did a thing!

Another team STOLE the gym at the top of my road (clearly it belongs to my team, it is at the top of my road where I have lived my whole entire life [apart from when at Uni & my few months of working away, but for former I only had 8-week terms anyway...] & frankly other people thinking their team has a right to it is just another example of gentrification&entitlement RUINING the place as far as I'm concerned...) this morning.

So I took it back & prestiged it up to Level 4 & left my highest CP Lapras in there. Am just hoping some more of my team show up to shore the place up now. I physically couldn't stay outside any longer - I'd only dressed warmly enough to go & catch the [806 CP, my highest!] Dragonair that showed up at the bottom of the park (which I did, yay me!) so have the attractive blue lips + sheetwhite face thing going on. Uncontrollable shivering doesn't do much for one's battling technique either, it transpires.

Am going to be [disproportionately] upset ifwhen that gym comes down again today without at least someone else having joined me there.

But yes. Look at me. I defeated the smug twits. (And they were being EXCEPTIONALLY smug. Honest to God you'd think they'd gone 10 rounds with the monsters themselves. And not excited, smug.)

I am quite ridiculously excited seeing MY Lapras swimming around on top of the gym. And it feels like it's waving at its little monstery chums at home when it does its fin-swishy thing. (And here we see why I get on so well with my Brownies, yes...)

I did the thing with the gym & then did the other thing & I may be slightly hypothermic but I am WINNING! And my Lapras looks so cute, swimming around up there. (And I in no way worry about him missing his little chums. Or feel bad about Pokémon who get hurt battling. No. Because that would be ridiculous for someone who will be 33 on Wednesday, wouldn't it? Yes, yes it would. So clearly that is in no way at all a thing in my tiny mind. Nope. )

Do you think you might be taking this a teensy bit too seriously?

Having said that, I was battling a gym to increase the prestige so I could put one of my Pokemon in. Someone else was taking it down at the same time (how does that work??) and took over before I could increase it. Anyway, I waited for them to leave and took it down.

They came back and took it back.

So I waited til they left and took it down again. Then logged in as DS1 and put his top Pokemon in there too. I was so pleased with myself.

Even more pleased than when I stole the gym back off a 7 year old boy who dissed mySnorlax and then left a shit Pidgeot in the gym!

ZebraOwl I hope your little lapras has a jolly day

I put my highest Vaporeon in a level 8 gym in Bournville yesterday. I've never been part of anything higher than L4, and my 'mon was 3rd or 4th strongest.

I was smugly certain that I would be collecting coins for days to come.

Vapo came home looking cold and dejected this morning .
