Pokemon Go (3 Viewers)

Caught a wild Gyarados outside of work today. Popped up nearby and I freaked. It's only a CP 259 and we are going to evolve one anyway, but still cool. Had never seen on nearby before. 10k egg is close; will hatch it tonight.

 
Currently holding 7 gyms.  Cashed in on 5 this morning.  Hoping all 7 hold till tomorrow morning.  At that rate I can get an egg incubator about every other day.

almost every gym I see now is level 8 to 10. Not a fan of this - the game should now be about battling for territories...maybe even finding teammates to take down gyms together. There should be rolled up stats to show gym ownership percentages locally or by region...something that keeps the user engaged once the Pokedex is over 100.

 
Level 29 this weekend. Usually have 10-20 gyms. I'm a nerd! Love the game though.

Guy walks up to me, conversations starts, and now I'm on a FB group that gets together to take down areas of town here in KC. Sounds fun. They bring family and stuff. Doubt I have the time though.

I've read updates coming include battling other trainers and eventually Gen 2 which may change a number of things like diverging evolutions (wtf?), babies, etc...

The last update was originally going to have the lowering of CP of guys in gyms so that lower and new players have a chance but it got pushed back.

 
I caught a Kabuto this weekend which brought my Pokedex up to 130. I can evolve 10 new pokemon through the buddy system. I would still need to hatch or catch Hitmonlee and Aerodactyl to finish my Pokedex otherwise (excluding legendaries, ditto and regionals). 

Of course it would take a ton of walking to evolve everything through the buddy system. Two of them would take over 200km which will probably never happen. I got closer than I ever thought I would though

I'll trade you an Aerodactyl  

 
Fastpokemap is back online - not fully functional but definitely somewhat working - helped me catch a Ghastly today (still need to  evolve a Gengar)

:nerd:  

I created a spreadsheet with the evolves I have left and the candy I have and need.  I then ranked them roughly by frequency that I've seen them and started working backwards.  Still 15 to evolve.

That's pretty impressive. I have a 2300 CP Lapras sitting near the top of a level 10 gym. I think that one will last for a while. Other than that my guys tend to get knocked out of gyms within a couple hours.

Trading would be interesting. I have to imagine that will need to come at some point. I can't think of a good way to add it though without a ton of restrictions (what pokemon you can trade, who you can trade it to, how many times can a particular pokemon be traded, etc).

Charmander here - need 85 candies and I almost never see them around.  I'm pretty close with almost all my other evolves.
Starters would be a good option. I have Charizard but still need Venusaur and Blastoise. Venusaur seems like it could do some serious damage in gyms versus all the water types.

Snorlax/Lapras/Dratini are tempting as well.

And the 10 k egg hatched a stupid Eevee! Ugh!
I had the same thing happen, but ran the eevee through an IV calc, and it was 100%.  Evolved into a Jolteon which is currently at 1849.  Can take out just about any Vaporeon I come across.

I'll have to do some thinking on who to use as my buddy for the event. 4x candy is pretty substantial
Snorlax for me, I typically get in around 5k every day, and need 4 candies for a power up.  I've got two currently - one just over 2,500 with maybe 3 more power up remaining, the other is at 2,300 with maybe 6-7 power ups remaining.  Once they are maxed out, I'll switch it up.

How about focusing on fixing the game...

 
Using the map I found the last couple I needed to evolve a Venusaur and a Rhydon.  126 down - 16 left.

Hatched I think my 5th 10k egg - Electabuzz - :mellow:

I've now gone Electabuzz, Hitmonlee, Eevee, Onix, Electabuzz  :rant:

 
Just curious which parts are broken in your opinion.  The only thing I don't like is the sightings/map issue.  Now that FastPokeMap is back I don't really care that much.  What other issues are you seeing?
The whole non-existent tracking system and flawed distance counter

 
I'm early LVL22 and have never seen a lapras or snorlax. I'm close to hatching a 10k egg so maybe I'll get a high CP one soon. Around my work all the gyms pretty much have some combo of Arcanine, Eggxecutor, Vaporeon, and snorlax. Very little variation. 

 
I love gyms with Arcanines in them. My  Golem just eats those things for dinner and my Electabuzz seems to have little problem with Snorlax.

Stupid Vaporeons seem to give me trouble though. Right now the game is being stingy again with revives, so I have multiple dead Pokémon.  :(

This appears to have already started.  I had to head to my son's school and just randomly did a scan on the map.  Ghastly everywhere.  Caught 8-10 in about 5 minutes.  Got enough to evolve a Gengar (first one).  Saw a bunch of Drowzee and a Hypno for the first time in the wild.

 
Noticed different colored eggs too - they've always been green but now I have a bunch that are orange - anybody else notice that?

Also, as they mention the distance to get candy is updated.  I quickly switched to Charmander and already earned a couple.

 
I just may go rent a golf cart and drive it around for a few hours.  This 4X candy thing is great.   Going to have a Kadabria, Warturtle, Poliwrath and a victorybell before the weekend is out

 
Two new entries into the Pokedex today. I hatched a Hitmonlee and evolved a Growlithe into Arcanine. Nice way to start off the event :thumbup:  I'm walking Bulbasaur now.

Also have had a ton of issues with trying to battle gyms and getting errors.  Happened all the time last week

Yep - days like today are fun.  I was already at 124 but managed to add 4 new ones (Gengar, Rhydon, Venusaur and Dugtrio)

Also caught a Muk, Marowak, Arcanine and Hypno.

Coincidentally, I'm playing golf tomorrow and plan to have the game running with my portable charger.  Curious to see how much I get.

I've had that happen a couple of times but not a lot - both times once it started it was consistent.  Just had to leave the gym alone for a long time (maybe even the next day) and then it was fine.

My biggest complaint right now (excluding tracking) is the number of level 10 gyms there are now.  I think the 6 Pokemon training has somewhat backfired, at least in heavily populated areas.

On the tracking - if you aren't using FastPokeMap do it, things works great - although it's been spotty with the scans since it came back online.  It consistently accurate on location and spawn times.  Some may feel like it's cheating but I would have probably abandoned the game except when playing with my kids if not for it.

 
A good 10km egg hatch has always felt like winning the lottery and during this event it's just ridiculous. I hatched a Snorlax and received 58 candies

I hatched an Exeggcute from a 5K and got 34 candies. I've got three cp2000+ Exeggutors that I've been wanting to power up, but haven't had the candies to do so. So I was elated to see this. Of course all three are currently in gyms, so I'll have to wait until they get kicked out. 

 
Was in the process of hatching a 10k egg.  The "Oh?" screen came up, but the game froze.  I gave it a few seconds but nothing happened.  I hard closed the game, and opened it back up - went to my egg screen and that 10k egg was gone.  Went to my list, and put the recent ones at the top, and it was something I caught in the wild 5 minutes before.  I didn't get whatever hatched.  Ticked me right off.

That's rotten.

Yup.... it's the egg lottery for the next few days. I just used a few incubators on 2K eggs just to clear them for the candy.

 
Finally gave up on this a few days ago. Booted up and sure enough ,  a ??Dragonite is right in my living room . 

Threw every great  ball I had left (like 30) and could barely hit him. everything was short no matter how I tweaked my technique .  I'm usually really accurate but probably only hit him like 3 times. He broke out after 1 wiggle every time until I was out of balls, so I'm done

Was a fun little distraction for a while

Ouch, that's painful. Yeah, I'm starting to lose interest too. Tons of the same old junky Pokémon each day. Even middle of the road ones seem to break out repeatedly even with good throws on a tight circle. (Is this just a ploy to get us to use up our poke balls?).  Eggs hatch mostly junk, even 10 k ones when you do finally get one. Have multiple Pokemon we have never ever seen and will never hatch out of eggs. Idk, the perpetual carrot-on-a-stick is getting a little frustrating.

 
Halloween promotion is awesome, hopefully they do more stuff like this in the future.

For someone like me who was still playing here and there but completely sick of catching pidgeys, ratatas, and weedles all day, this keeps it interesting.

Gonna be in Vegas this weekend, hopefully I can remember to open the app up, I'm sure there will be some good stuff out there considering I'm on the east coast.
