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

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...

Disturbing really.

Did you manage to resolve the connection problem (before I try to update)?

Me, I have been for a fairly lengthy gallivant. Possibly a bit more than I should really have done for a first trip out of the house in several days.
Am maybe just the VERY tiniest bit prone to that. I just get all excited & I bolt, galloping free, wind in my mane, refusing to be caught & returned to my enclosure... but at some point I always seem to end up back here. Zebras are not allowed to roam wild as they wish to prefer being stuck in my enclosure to the vet, mind you...

Anyway, I couldn't sleep so I got up at half six & went to to town (which meant paying for my travel!) and came home about an hour ago having gained: 2 more Dratini candy (managing to evolve one of my Dragonairs seems like an impossible dream tbh - genuinely don't understand how people have done it!); another Tangela; a Togepi (yay!); a Charmander (woo! bring on them descending in their thousands later, a Charizard SHALL be mine!); a few Squirtle (my Blastoise, bless it, is a feeble article possessed of a CP just under 800... we will be trying that one again, yes...); pile of things that were not exciting; and I caught enough Santachus to evolve another Festive!Raichu Xmas Grin

Am pretty close to moving up to Level 29 - need another 8139XP.
Wish I'd done mass evolves (even without lucky eggs) from the start. I didn't know to do them until I started posting on this thread: think of how much further ahead I'd be if I'd been on those mass evolves from the start.

I've to evolve my Machoke, Charmeleon & Dragonair and need to catch (though I've never seen one, but have a gym!shadow, which tbh I just find annoying, because what's the point of that?!) or hatch an aerodactyl & I'll have completed the European Gen 1 Pokédex - and I have an Elekid, a Smoochum & now a Togepi for good measure too... I know when the game was released they said you'd be able to hatch the Regional monsters anywhere in the world, it was the catching that was limited by geography. Has anyone heard of anyone having any joy that way?

it makes me genuinely sad there are people who cheat at Pokémon Go! Clearly there are far bigger problems in the world (& indeed in my own life for that matter) but it just... it's just Wrong. I don't understand how they can enjoy playing when any "win" isn't truly theirs. And how can they feel ok about spoiling things for children?! Everyone knows loads of children play & clearly it's shite to be spoiling the game full stop, there does feel something worse about upsetting wee folk. Gah. Wish Niantec could come up with a way to catch people cheating & suspend their accounts automatically. With deletion for repeat offenders, of course...

My gym has two pokestops next to it! Been exercising for 45 mins and getting them every 5!

jennielou75 · 30/12/2016 15:22

I mean real life sweaty gym!

eurochick · 30/12/2016 16:21

How do mass evolves without a lucky egg make a difference?

ZebraOwl · 30/12/2016 16:48

I'd've thought more carefully about what I was evolving & what I was just transferring...

ZebraOwl · 30/12/2016 16:50

Minimal difference without a lucky egg, I grant you, but some. And tbh comment more about me currently being extremely sleep deprived so feeling that those few tiny increments would be worth it.

jennielou75 · 30/12/2016 17:43

I got a message saying there would be more 1st gen around and reduced gifts in shop . Only for a limited time tho.

CantstandmLMs · 30/12/2016 18:04

This event is lackluster so far but I am enjoying the daily incubator despite the crap hatches. Cutting buddy distance and double XP are winners and they should stick to this (although they're trying variety I guess)

Natsku · 30/12/2016 18:45

Bugger, thought there was something I had forgotten today - to go out and get my daily streaks! Better walk down the road now then.

jennielou75 · 30/12/2016 18:50

Reduced by 50 coins for the middle box the others haven't been reduced at all,

jennielou75 · 30/12/2016 18:53

Change that none have reduced at all have just got sale on them!

CartwheelGirl · 30/12/2016 18:58

The update is 8pm tonight, so you're a bit early.

Wondered why I didn't see any starter 'mon while I popped to the pokestop.

DameDeDoubtance · 30/12/2016 19:28

Yey I hatched 2 Weedles and a Zubat! Sad

CantstandmLMs · 30/12/2016 19:31

If there's starters around the pokestops in half an hour I'll get up and brace the cold! 😩 We'll see...

jennielou75 · 30/12/2016 19:33

It says first partner Pokémon so I am guessing that is first generation.

Natsku · 30/12/2016 19:43

I've got no eggs left :( lots of incubators but no bloody eggs

JellyWitch · 30/12/2016 19:47

I stocked up on eggs in town briefly this afternoon. Was also pleased to see that the gym I prestiged yesterday is now a L10.

TheOtherGalen · 30/12/2016 19:52

I just bought a pair of gloves that have a little flap thing on each pointer finger so I can go out and play without losing digits to frostbite. I am ridiculous.

Natsku · 30/12/2016 19:59

I cut the tips off the thumb and middle finger on some cheap gloves for playing when I'm out.

PickAChew · 30/12/2016 20:17

New start screen and the boxes have completely changed.

DameDeDoubtance · 30/12/2016 20:21

New start screen and I see Bulbasaurs!!!!!!!!!!!!! Grin

NamelessEnsign · 30/12/2016 20:32

Still no babies here (another Diglet) but I bought a 250 coin box (with all my gym coins) so I have some incubators!

Same old bumf showing up on my nearby list here, which I'm a little grateful about because I am finally warm!

jennielou75 · 30/12/2016 20:37

I need bulbasaurs!
