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...

Well I hatched some right old crack from a mass incubation a few days ago but then got a random igglybuff then today a pichu! I have to say this has been helped massively by the fact I was very lucky to receive an Apple Watch for chrimbo so I'm walking (pottering around the house is working) enough to hatch them pretty quickly.

Tonight though it was obvious some kind of change had happened as TWO charmander appeared in my garden! I've only ever had one since I started playing the damn game! I hope it continues - aside from those hatches I've had pants catches lately.

I'm holding out for an event to do a mass evolve tho - should I bother? I'm hoping something might happen NYE/NYD?

dementedpixie · 30/12/2016 21:23

I have no babies. Hatched 2 nidoran males and a bloody staryu today. Have 7 x 5k eggs in incubators so hopefully will get something better from them. Haven't had a 10k for ages and rarely get a 2k

BumWad · 30/12/2016 21:34

Bloody hell you've got another thread and everything.

I finally got a baby Pokémon yay!

Also been hatching a load of crap.

Haven't spotted any starter Pokemon Hmm

snitcheryoo · 30/12/2016 21:40

if anyone was to contemplate cheating, which I am not, how would they go about it?
Google returns very little, apart from pages of code dumps which will never darken our portals.
They all promise "just enter your password and username and you'll be L40 by Tuesday for free"

Now, why would 'they' be so nice to do that Confused

CartwheelGirl · 30/12/2016 21:48

Loads of everything everywhere Grin I got charmanders, bulbasaurs, squirtles, geodudes, and hatched a baby pokemon, all within 45mins walk. There are new boxes on sale too, which include lucky eggs.

In other news, this is the last day of the Google voucher giveaway competition at Pokemon151 Forums.

Oooh I love the new screen!

No bulbasaurs at home though Sad

Still no babies and hatched a magnemite and a caterpie today Angry, the babies were meant to have increased chance since 25th right?
Got an extra 2 10km eggs today, so I've 3 in total now, never ever had that many at once!
Anyone had some good luck with starters tonight?

BumWad · 30/12/2016 21:50

I'm so jealous Cartwheel

CantstandmLMs · 30/12/2016 22:06

When I saw the new opening screen I actually squeeled Blush and actually got out of my PJS and dressed & I went out and caught 2 bulbasaur and about 4 charmander (and 1 squirtle popped up in the living room). Hands are frozen!! ...this game!!

CartwheelGirl · 30/12/2016 22:09

snitcheryoo, it's not that hard, if you know where to look, there are loads of apps spoofing your GPS location, you don't even need to touch PokemonGo app in any way. My local Facebook groups are full of advice. You obviously risk being caught and banned if you spoof but in reality by the time spoofers are caught (when and if they are), they've reached a point where they basically completed the game and no longer care.

I think most people started legit, but some lost patience because it got cold, dark and boring. Also if you're kicked out by spoofers all the time, then you have little chance of progressing through the game in a legitimate way.

ZebraOwl - kids cheat too! Not very young ones, obviously, but teenagers do. I don't think much can be done about it, tbh. It's pretty much impossible to eliminate it entirely, just like shoplifting, littering, hacking, pirate copies and other stuff like that keeps happening. It's a massively multi-player game so it attracts all kinds of people.

As for the boxes...lucky eggs yes but all I care about is lucky eggs and incubators and now there's no incubators in them!

PickAChew · 30/12/2016 22:28

Well, we just had a squirtle in the back garden, a pikachu next door and a charmander and bulbasaur in sightings. And that, knowing our luck, will sum up this eent for us, in its entirity, though I'm visiting my parents, this weekend, so might get a bit of a change.

PickAChew · 30/12/2016 22:33

And yes, I;m miffed that I was up to 396 play store credits from google opinion rewards and holding out for that final 4, but now the pack I wanted with the incubators has gone. The 100 red balls is great for DS1, who is crap at spinning when he can, instead of catching any old crap, but i chuck the bloody things out al the time, to make space for better ones!

PickAChew · 30/12/2016 22:43

Another Squirtle in the back garden. I'm sensing a pattern, here.

TheOtherGalen · 30/12/2016 22:48

Walked a million miles barefoot through the snow and biting wind to hatch my bucket of 5k eggs and got ... no babies, and THREE MEOWTHS IN A ROW. I would've thrown the phone if my survival hadn't been dependent on the tiny amount of heat it gives off as it reams through its battery.

NameSux · 30/12/2016 22:50

The event is happening in tge town but hasn't reached my house :(. I've got a lure on now so hoping to pick up a few. Got 1 baby out of 7 eggs today and 2 charmanders, 10 bulbasuars,5 squirtles and 2 pikachus in my hour walk (with incense). Good going but not sure I'll have the hundreds needed to evolve by the end of the event :/

MakeMyWineADouble · 30/12/2016 22:55

No baby Pokemon here yet ☹️ The starter Pokemon are everywhere though currently being teased by this when I'm baby sitting for my friend 😢

The charizard looks like it needs a ball to sleep in doublewine. Poor thing, out in the cold

MakeMyWineADouble · 30/12/2016 23:09

I know it's practically begging me!! its obviously cold and alone 😢

NameSux · 30/12/2016 23:20

Seeingas you cant get to it i wish it would be drawn to my lure but it's probably afraid of crossing the irish sea incase it's tail gets wet. Instead I'm getting golden and psyduck. Yay

MakeMyWineADouble · 30/12/2016 23:46

lol I tried a lure as a long shot I believe it had found shelter and wasn't coming out for anyone! I'm hopeful though that it means it's not just the 1st stage starter Pokemon that's spawn has been increased it maybe across the board!

MuddlingMackem · 31/12/2016 00:40

Just had a Chansey show up in the house! Caught it for me but it poofed for both of the kids. They're going to be gutted if I tell them in the morning. On the plus side I did manage to catch them a Hitmonlee each last night when I was out late, so they were happy about that.

Dillite2 · 31/12/2016 00:42

We went to London today. Hatched loads of shite- geodude, polywag, tentacool, sandshrew, bellsprout, cloyster and an igglypuff. We did not come across any extra starter pokemon or 10k eggs. And thanks to dd chucking more balls than collecting, we only have 200ish left.

LBOCS2 · 31/12/2016 00:51

zebra, I think you're near me! Many an hour I spent getting drunk around there (before it all caught fire and was regenerated) as a reprobate teenager Grin

I caught a squirtle in my bedroom last night and have just got a Santachu - I now have a festive Raichu and a non-festive one. I was excited to see the new start screen but haven't had anything interesting pop up yet...

LBOCS2 · 31/12/2016 00:54

Fuckit, there's a Blastoise at the pokestop up the way but I've drunk the best part of a bottle of wine and it's too cold to walk...

Imaginationfailedtoload · 31/12/2016 01:02

So many Pokemon that I'm desperate for on my sightings but got a friend staying and she's not a Pokemon fan so I'm sitting here just watching them disappear 😱😱😱
