Pokemon Go #22: Papa's got a brand new Grumpig bag.

[PickAChew]

With the upcoming Swinub community day, honouring the year of the pig, it had to be done.

Week 135. Still no Lugia or Sinnoh stone.

putthehamster what's your trainer name?

ds is Nightsprte (or however he spelled it). 10.30 is fine except he's got no gifts left a the moment, we should get some before that hopefully.

10.30 it is

@Igneococcus I'm Swirliecat.. I have a gift from your DS that I can open to trigger the level up...

Mona, DS is level 21 with fairly intermittent play too! It's raids that have helped him fly, plus the wider range of Pokémon so he's still getting lots of dex entry bonuses.

It is much easier to level up now. I set up accounts for my two youngest DCs around September and they’re both already level 30 odd. It took me around 18 months to get to to that!

But when the game first started it was literally just catching mons and the odd gym battle. They’ve introduced so much more since then, you can gain XP much more easily.

Great putthehamster

I agree Witch. "Young folks these days don't know how good they've got it! Back in the day we had to grovel on our hands an knees for every little bit of xp" said in a Monty Python sketch sort of way

I don't suppose @Tangelasvine or @Minicat79 are hanging around this thread this morning? If so, would you be interested in joining the levelling up party at 10:30 this morning? If I don't hear from you, I'll hold off until next week's CD.

I'm Rosiebear Tallulah

@putthehamsterbackinitscage if you're ready to go I'll put an egg on at 10.30, can you confirm with me before you open the gift?

Same goes for @Rupeomatic. Are you ready for 10:30?

@greenshadow and @witchsharkadder

The latest go update fixes the android incompatibility issue, as most people suspected (given the lack of official announcement) it seems to have been unintentional. It also fixes the gym distance view bug so good news all round.

@putthehamsterbackinitscage I think I'll wait to hear from you before you put the egg on, so post when you're ready to get going, as I realised you'd last posted over an hour ago...

Oh that is good news SirNils! There has definitely been less raiding in our group this week due to not being able to see where the raids are. That and what a bugger palkia is to catch

@MrsJamin egg is on ... ready when you are

@putthehamsterbackinitscage super - egg is ON!

Another shout got @vickster40 ... haven't seen you reply yo any threads in a long time ...

Do you want to level up now or another time?

@rupeomatic I'm opening your gift, so if you haven't already got an egg on, please put one on as soon as you open the app.

Hi @bettytaghetti
Am I too late or do you want to do it next weekend?

yay that worked @putthehamsterbackinitscage - thanks!

Woohoo! Thank you, Nils!

@minicat79 now is good! Are you ready for me to open?

Yes! I finally got an entei from my weekly box. Not sure it'll be much use but it's an entry for the Dex.
The Kanto is looking good these days, only a couple of evolves, which I'm working towards and then a Mewtwo and a Farfetched, which could prove tricky. I've suggested a holiday in SE Asia........
Anyone gold on the Tiny Rattata badge?
I've still only caught 20 tiny ones despite going after every Rattata I see. You need 300!
