Pokemon Go #6: Where pokemon babies are abandoned in gyms at freezing temperatures

[CartwheelGirl]

Well, saw this little one left overnight in a gym. Sad, really... Where are his parents? What were they thinking? Do they work night shifts too?

So many questions...

Stopped walking my kabuto as I only have two candies. Am walking my tagopie sp? It looks cute as I am carrying it in my arms but it is 5k a candie!

I've caught two Dragonairs and I'm currently picking up one Dratini most days. They appear somewhere along the line of the canal which is now part of the national cycle network. It is teeming with water Pokemon despite the canal being dry.

Today I should be able to stop walking my Kabuto. It's taken an age because I've only ever caught two.

I throw a ridiculous number of balls at a wild wartotle yesterday and then it ran

I just caught a 535Cp wartortle in my house but it took 8 balls, I had no great or ultraball or razzberries left. I didn't think I would get it. Need another 16 candies to evolve.
I have another 12.4 km to walk with my kabuto, not sure I manage that today in the rain.

Hi all! Been quiet on here for a while, it seems newborn babies really eat into pokemoning time!

I've had a frustrating month because I knackered my pelvic floor trying to do too much walking too soon (definitely not trying to catch Pokemon!) so I've been instructed not to walk. Have not managed to hatch a single baby mon

I have found a local pub I can drive too that has a pokestop and loads of charmanders, bulbasaurs and squirtles so I'm really close to evolving the full chain for those.

DSD got a phone for Christmas so she's been pokemoning like mad and the three of us have had some fun driving to local gyms and taking them down as a team!

Hoping I get the all clear from physio soon to do some walking so I can start hatching my eggs

I've been watching Trainer Tips on YouTube, the Pokemon addiction has grown.

Anything good to share Shellder?

I definitely recommend it, nice chap who presents very well and I've learned a lot. Worth looking it up and seeing which episode titles appeal. I found the episode on how to dodge at gyms very useful and enjoyed his adventure in Japan (although his lack of punctuality made me shouty).

I've just started playing again after taking a few months break and immediately caught two bulbasaurs. The one Pokémon I've been wanting for months!!

Quick question, all my eggs seem to have changed colour. They are brown now instead of green. Apart from one. What does this mean?

Welcome back Soubriquet!!

The egg colour denotes they're distance - think 5k are brown, 2k green & 10k are purple.

Their not they're - that was autocorrect, not my bad grammar

Thanks Shellder.

Aaaah thank you.

Glad to be doing it again, bet I'm really behind everyone now

Got my first baby, an igglybuff. Not sure whether to keep it as it's likely to be my only one or level it up?

Experimenting with our local gyms today to see how long I can keep a Pokémon in one.

Gym 1 - 3 hours
Gym 2 - 6 minutes
Gym 3 - 1 hour

Bah! Those of you who get Pokémon in gyms for more than a day, do you notice a difference in gym location? I'm guessing city centre ones turn over quicker?

Still holding out hope for gyms 4 and 5 (currently 45 mins and counting, but in my MIL's little village).

I hope you enjoy it Snorlax I very much appreciated the recommendation of the Pokemon Go Radio podcast that I got from here, lovely to be able to share resources

Evening all! Welcome back soubriquet!

Got enough candy for my venosaur today, just 7 candy off charizard.
Level 26 now and only hatched 1 egg today - a bloody horsea
Got a 2km cooking at the mo, reaaaallly hope it's a cleffa or igglybuff.

D'ya reckon we'll have to wait til Easter for the next event? Or maybe Valentine's will be a smoochum event

Astonishingly, one of my 10k eggs turned out something useful - a chansey. I've never seen one in the wild so that was a bonus. I'm now at 142!

Thanks for the YouTube link, Shellder.

For any of you who are rural you might find this episode interesting:

Caught a wild Venasaur today although isn't a high level (CP 128) but isn't quite as impressive as the wild Blastoise a previous poster caught .

Still not hatched my egg, hopefully will hatch my 5k tomorrow.

Hooray! Finally evolved my Venusaur. And I'm very close to a Charizard too.

I caught a wild charizard on Sunday.

Someone in my local gym has a tauros. I'm in the UK, so quite impressed

53rd I was the same, I've now worked out that rather than taking back gyms at level 2-3 and hoping someone joins me quick, I find a level 8-9 one and battle my way in.
I've stayed in 3 for over a week now which is a miracle. That said-if anyone takes MY gum at the end of the road, I'm straight out in my slippers reclaiming it

Just joining here! I've been playing since the summer but had to start again in October as the email address I registered with went defunct.

I've loved the recent starters event, I now have all three evolutions! I am up to 139 on the pokedex. My best wild catch was probably a dragonite. I've been buying incubators as well and been quite lucky- got all the babies except Togepi.

Any theories on the next big thing? DH reckons that the increase in starters is a way to "finish off" this phase of the game and pave the way for Gen 2...I'm hopeful he's right!
