I'm logged in with Google and found loads at home and work, which are both saved places in my google but also generally busy spots (zone 2 urban/Canary Wharf) but none at my weekend residence (Yorkshire) 
Thought I'd try adding that address to my google saved places - think that might encourage the game to give me a break and pop them up here?

I don't think that will work. Everyone sees the same Pokemon except for those attracted to incense so I don't think you could get more to come around by doing that. Their numbers are supposedly higher where there is a greater concentration of players but I don't know if that is true.

Use the blue n red great balls or what ever they're called
Use razzberrys to entice the Pokémon, make them like you something blah blah
Face the fact that as you go up levels the Pokémon will become more difficult to catch, more escapey, more runnyawayy

Do it. I went for a 10pm walk last night and got loads. Sod all this evening. This afternoon, I chased a Jinxy a half mile after one popped up whist I was waiting for my smalls to spin in the Laundrette. Got to the venue with 2 mins to spare before she despawned, she escaped from the Pokeball near on eight times and then fucked off. Then an egg hatched and it was a fucking bastard tedious Ratatata. Fucking disaster. Total fucking disaster.

most annoying is when you catch them first throw then they escape and vanish, I always use the first throw to get the distance then move up to great ball or use a raspberry if I catch them and they escape. If I really want them and they are over 200cp I will start with a great ball. The colour of the circle that changes size shows how hard they will be to capture (green fading through yellow to red) and their cp is a rough guide. How well you throw doesn't seem to be a factor ime which surprises me tbh.
I think how many players are around affects spawning, it certainly seems that if I ride out down the canal near me I don't get much but when i turn round and come back plenty have spawned, been like this half a dozen times now and feels like a pattern, like they spawn because I've come past. idk though.
was threatening rain last night and occasionally spitting so I used a lucky egg and went on an xp mission to get to level 20, got two incubators
so will be trying to walk/cycle about 15k today at least! I got two 10k eggs in my first nine but haven't had a single one since which is frustrating, I've hatched 31 eggs apparently so surely I'm due another 10k soon.

Oh really? I was wondering about that. So I could end up stood on the pavement with a bunch of other people trying to get that same one? I thought the game gave me what it wanted?
Also - pikachu. Is it rare? Why is it the famous one?

Oh yeah, hence this sort of thing
It's kinda the brand ambassador for Pokemon, more people know about it than any of the others. I guess it's not too common in this game.

I keep seeing tortoise/turtle type one that some long buried cultural memory tells me I recognise but not got close enough to catch it yet.

Squirtle? Yeah he was somewhat popular too. We used to play Pokémon on the... super Nintendo? at uni and I think a squirtle was a more prominent character in that...and the cartoon.
What's the history of Pokémon? Was it a geeky top trumps style game first? Them cartoon animation? Then Nintendo thing? What order did that happen and was there anything else pretty that?

Gameboy first apparently - I first saw it in the card game which was based on the gameboy game and decided to avoid it entirely as I could see that it'd be endless amounts of money buying cards chasing the rare ones, never played the computer games though I'm tempted to have a look at the most recent one now and see what it's like.

It was a video game on the Game Boy first, then it developed into a trading card game and finally anime TV shows/films.
Bulbasaur, Squirtle and Charmander are the three starter Pokemon you could choose in the game, hence why they're so ubiquitous, and Pikachu is well known because it was Ash's main Pokemon in the anime series.

Has anyone considered long term tactics? There are 136 Pokémon in the pokedex. As standard you have 250 spaces for Pokémon. I reckon you need a margin of empty slots of hunting. I'm way off running out of space being an issue but maybe stockpiling candy now is a good plan? I'm trying to retain one of each type, generally with the highest cp.
I got 2 pokemon storage upgrades had to was in the middle of the hunt, so I can carry 350 iirc

Last night I put all my Pokemon through the IV rater. If it didn't say they were rock hard beasts they went off to the professor.
I'm not keeping any dead weight. I'd rather have the candy and be clear on who I want to spend dust on.
