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.

Kicking myself here.

Yesterday evening I spotted a friendly gym so went back today to help my team and pop mine in, he would have been top eevie. First battle went great - -
Apart from I'd used the one I'd wanted to put in, no problem I'd power him back up and put him in. But no, by the time I'd got back in the gym prestige was dropping. Thought I'd done something wrong.
I did 3 more battles to see the levels go up then down again.
Had to give it up after that.
Driving past the gym I spotted my adversary, they were just round the corner happily tapping away with a huge Alsatian.

I wish I'd walked around the corner, we could have both saved ourselves a lot of dead Pokémon.

Deep breaths everyone..

There are rumours that 100 new Pokemon are being released tomorrow!

O.M.G

I'm saving coins for Christmas. Just got level 30 on the way home today so am happily stocked up on incubators, lucky eggs, lures and incense!

I spotted this on a construction site in the City. It must be a spawn.

euro :o

I hatched a crap eevee, a crap paras (ten a penny, here) and a Dratini, today - so on the latter point... GET IN! Looks like I got the full whack of 30 odd candy, too. Just need to hatch another in the next 6 months for a chance of a Dragonite, as I now have 75 Dratini Candy (need 125 because my only dragonair is utterly pathetic!)

There's been a suspiciously large number of venonat around, today. More of them than weedles (which are nowhere near as common as they used to be)

And yes, I'm slightly on tenterhooks about these rumours. Catching all the bats I see, for a change. Need to check up what else to expect apart from steelix and other eeveelutions.

This covers it

And it's allegedly Thursday.

Is it me, or does Porygon 2 look like a giant butt plug?

I haven't been pokemoning much as I've been on nights. I have barely added 20k xp to my level since the double xp event ended. The spawning rate also seems to have gone down.

My poor Lapras did NOT have a good day on Sunday

Gym got attacked, someone else boosted it back, I then hoiked it higher. Then had whole family take it down together. Including Loud Parenting. Playing Pokémon Go is really NOT an activity that you'd expect to be LP'd, but maybe you reach a point where you can't switch it off? Round here Loud Parenting would once have simply meant the ability to make yourself heard across the park, but alas, no more. So as soon as they left I reclaimed the gym & prestiged it up & while I was trotting round the park stocking up on potions etc someone else joined me in the gym & we moved it up some more.

My poor little Lapras came back again that night, the gym having been taken by the 3rd team. Poor wee Lapras.

Local gyms have all been bouncing back & forth like mad since Sunday. I've not been back to one yet...

Caught no less than three Dittos yesterday (Tuesday) - a Magikarp, a Pidgey & a Ratatta. Got a Dratini from a 10k egg which was nice in terms of my ongoing quest to evolve my Dragonair; does not compensate for the Weedles & Caterpies of the 5k eggs though. Grump.

Ran TWO lucky egg mass evolves back-to-back (so now have my Kabutops) but didn't make it to Level 28: am at 247629/250000 so if I Catch All The Things today I might make it to L28 today. (Which would be a nice birthday present. Although not as good as them introducing 200 new Pokémon, clearly...)

Did they just listen to a toddler blabber random nonsense words to name the 2nd generation 'mons??

Update

No gen 2 mentions in that update

There isn't is there, I heard that gen 2 may be released as part of the Christmas promotion which, allegedly, will run from 20th till the 27th.

Wait. And. See! I guess.

Gen 2 being released over Christmas would make a lot more sense than on a random Wednesday.

I just spent 10 minutes sending a gazillion of pidgeys to KFC. My pokedex is empty!

If it's a free toffee nut latte for every pokemon caught, I am moving into starbucks.

My closest Starbucks is 76.2 miles (or 1 hour 54 min drive according to google maps) from my house, sigh, I would have a Costas ~ 5 miles away.

A random Wednesday?

I think would make perfect sense for them to recognise this Very Important Date. It is long overdue, frankly...

Pearl Harbour? The patenting of bakerlite?

Your birthday zebra ??

The gen 2 pokemon are already in the app, so it'll only require a service side update to switch them on. That can happen independently of a client side (app) update, so long as the relevant code is already in place. From what I've been reading, all that might need to be added is some new moves, which could be included with this update without changing the playing experience until the server is updated, which is why none of this would be n the release notes.

server side, not service side! Can only blame the autoincorrect in my own brain for that one.

Pants! I accidentally added 100 spaces to my bag (meant to only add 50 as it was tight after the L30 goodies. What a waste of coins!

I caught an oddish so enough to evolve a gloom...

I saw a ryhorn after walking mine for 2 weeks for enough to evolve..

My 10k egg was a jynx...So gutted.

The official date for the new release, with the new pokemon, is Monday, 12th of Dec. Only just been announced an hour ago. Time to stock up on the candy for Gen 2 evolutions.

oooh lovely...My sister is coming to visit which I do not enjoy but the prosepct of new pokemon fills me with cheer.
