Guess gen 3 won't be October

eyebrowsonfleek · 31/08/2017 14:48

Murkrow is good to sort out the dark medal.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 31/08/2017 14:48

eyebrowsonfleek It's not that regional really, since they'll all be moving around we'll still get a chance to catch them all Smile

I wish they'd take a break on the legendary raids though. I love them, but I want a break!

eyebrowsonfleek · 31/08/2017 14:58

I'm annoyed that they are dragging it out rather than the regional bit.
Could do with a break from raiding.

eyebrowsonfleek · 31/08/2017 15:01

When they did a week of each legendary bird, I understand why it was too short. A month to catch all 3 is plenty in my opinion.
With Mewtwo added to the mix, it's just too much raiding for my liking.

I will be back here moaning about not getting an EX raid pass on 6th September. 😂

DamnDeDoubtanceIsSpartacus · 31/08/2017 16:24

It's not that I don't enjoy raids but it's a lot of standing around waiting for people to not show up or travelling to bigger towns. I miss hunting.

I wish they would make eggs more exciting, reward walking more.

Oh well, fingers crossed we'll bag a few of these new guys.

MummySparkle · 31/08/2017 16:25

Oooh that's pretty cool! I think I might have to accept that I'm just not going to be able to do legendary raids though, I'm just never in the right place at the right time, even with the raid chat on!

I hatched a ponyta today, not overly exciting. Did a 4mile cycle ride, but PoGo only registered 2.1km which is a shame. I'm 8 coins away from another incubator. 8!!! So frustrating, but I mustn't buy any more.

Yeah, I can see why that would be annoying!

I'm lucky as I live in a small town where we have lots of gyms and stops, everything is walkable, and there's never any standing around because we all agree to meet at a raid at a certain time.

PickAChew · 31/08/2017 17:02

Just regionals, legendaries, Unown and Miltank missing for me. I don't have all the sheep, yet, but have hatched a couple recently and have a Mareep as my buddy, so that's pretty much sorted.

I'm ready for gen 3! Hopefully, we'l move house around the time they arrive, from one piddling pokestop a mile away to one right across the road (plus another half dozen stops and gyms within 10 minutes walk of the house! I can't think why this one stood out as DS1's favourite out of all the ones we viewedHmm)

DamnDeDoubtanceIsSpartacus · 31/08/2017 17:36

I am going to become increasingly frustrated as I don't like holes in my 'dex! Grin

RudeDog · 31/08/2017 17:43

I like an event but I'm not interested in doing raids so disappointing- i need something interesting to happen so,
Feel like I am plodding along at the moment

DamnDeDoubtanceIsSpartacus · 31/08/2017 18:01

I know what you mean Rude, I am swimming in Pokeballs but not very motivated to catch anything. I stock up on vermin for future double xp events but apart from that it's all a bit meh at the mo. Our few gyms are really static too, all low and rarely change colour. I take them over 'cos I can but there isn't much fight back at the moment. The players that were content with the 10 tier Blissey towers have all buggered off.

RudeDog · 31/08/2017 19:51

There is rarely anything new about (I am still missing a fair bit) and even though we've been out and about in the holidays to new places I'm not seeing anything - snooze

Ruhrpott · 31/08/2017 20:32

Why aren't unowns in the pokedex? Or if they are what number are they?

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 31/08/2017 20:40

They are; they're number 201.

Thought I'd share.

Thanks found them now!

No worries Smile

SomewhatIdiosyncratic · 01/09/2017 00:39

I wonder who's knocked me out of a gym shortly after midnight... in the middle of a Safari park??? Oh well, that was 43 candy claimed and no guarantees of getting anyone in a gym today.

Done a mass lucky egg evolution tonight... now on Level 33, so just under a million xp between me and Level 34, and I've also evolved Tyranitar from a strong Pupitar after biding my time. It's been a while since I've felt much novelty value!

I've now walked Flaaffy 100k and nearly halfway to Mareep. I think I might try and switch to umbreon/ espeon for some variation soon. I have two from the name trick but their appraisal is poor. I chose them onto CP. I catch Eevees, but they rarely get a decent appraisal.

I'm pleased that the go plus will recognise gyms as a poke stop, it was mildly frustrating when some were "lost". I like the go plus when running as it means I don't have to wave my phone around, and manually spinning gyms wasn't always practical.

Now to send lots of spares to the professor... I hope he's got spare space for a pidgey invasion Grin

At least you got 43 coins so you nearly got your 50. That's not bad!

I've now walked Flaaffy 100k and nearly halfway to Mareep.

Ampharos is the second best electric in the game after Zapdos so it's definitely worth walking and making sure you evolve your best one!

I catch Eevees, but they rarely get a decent appraisal.

Yeah, the best Eevees are the ones you hatch Smile

SomewhatIdiosyncratic · 01/09/2017 08:52

I can't remember hatching an Eevee this year! I thought they'd been taken out of eggs.

DamnDeDoubtanceIsSpartacus · 01/09/2017 09:21

I didn't know that about Ampharos What may walk that one next, just need a few more candies for my bayleef. They seem to have disappeared from raids round these parts but I may just be missing them.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 01/09/2017 10:14

Nope; they're still in 5k eggs. Hatched a great one last week Smile

Yeah, Ampharos is an exceptionally good pokemon; I use it a lot to fight with.

loc · 01/09/2017 10:25

Who let the dogs out?
Vaguely excited about trying to hook up with a raid party this weekend. Not got Moltres or Zapdos, so hopefully will get the dogs! And please, Gen 3 please!!! The events such as the water/grass one make it easy to fill holes in your Dex so i'm not worried about more Pokémon making the ones I need rarer. Mind you only miltank and unown missing (so that event didn't help me...).

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 01/09/2017 10:29

And please, Gen 3 please!!!

Considering we're booked until November pretty much with the legendary dogs, and there's the exclusive raid battles coming too, I very much doubt we'll see Gen III this side of the year.
