Pokemon Go

Poor fucker:

On Saturday, Russian officials announced that atheist vlogger Ruslan Sokolovsky has been detained for two months for “inciting hatred” and “insulting religious feelings” after posting a video of himself playing Pokémon Go inside a historic cathedral. He reportedly faces up to five years in jail if convicted.

Because Mr God was offended. Or something.

So I finally caved and downloaded the app yesterday. I'm now level 6 :)

I do live a bit in the sticks so the nearest gym is right on my horizon. It was occupied by my team with a 2000+ somethingorother. I stuck in a CP13 psyduck to help :cool: Will this mean anything, what happens now?

It will get totally battered and returned to you a a bad state. You will need to revive to make him better and then potions to get his health up. Poor bastard!
 
I caught 5 evees today. They're only uncommon in the card game, but they're rare in Go, right?

Another Q. I've got all these low CP pokemon. They're never going to amount to much, right? And i should just trade them in for candies.
 
What happens if I evolve my crappy cp135 evee? Should I just not bother and wait until I've caught a bigger one at a higher level?

What if I evolve him when Im a higher level?

You can claim coins every 21hrs for having pokemon in gyms, chances of him staying there that long are pretty small but if you're in the sticks there might not be many other players around and you might stay there for a while. Yes, you can send knackered pokemon to the professor same as if they had full HP - I use weak drowzees/pidgeots/raticates/golbats when I'm doing a gym run to get coins, then transfer them away once they get beaten rather than using potions up to heal them.

You can keep or transfer your low CP pokemon. There's no point in powering any up until you are up to level 20 because you'll level up fairly quickly up til that point and catch wild pokemon that are stronger anyway, and you just waste dust and candy. You want to evolve them for xp though and remember to use the lucky egg / pidgey farming XP trick (catch a load of pidgeys, they only need 12 candies to evolve so you can evolve one for every 3ish you catch and get loads of XP).
You probably want to keep hold of the eevee candy, if you happen to be somewhere where they are spawning regularly then you'll get better ones as you level up and will want to power them up. There's a naming trick to evolve it into vaporeon (rename as Rainer, needs capitalising), jolteon (Sparky) or Flareon (Pyro) but if you decide to evolve one for the XP you probably want to not rename it as you can only use the naming trick once for each evolution then it's random. It doesn't matter if you level up, the pokemon you've caught remain the same.

Cheers, really useful!
 
We went on a walk along the coast today at a place which a couple of people on my local facebook P Go site had recommended. Put on two lots of incense and in a 5km walk (there and back), we caught/hatched 73 pokemon including a Kadabra, a Grimer and a Hitmonlee. Kadabra is a new addition to the pokedex. And another 10k egg - our 3rd :rolleyes:

Pokemon are so regional! There's one on my nearby list right now - you'll have to come down here ;)

Finally, we caught the bulbasaur we needed to evolve an ivysaur. Also evolved an Arbok. Nearly got enough for a Nidoqueen. Without the foal 'helping' today, I've caught 30 pokemon in about an hour and still have quite a lot of pokeballs left. Hurrah for school :D

You're just making Pokemon names up now! I've never seen or heard of any of those. :(
Today I hatched 2 x2k eggs. The first one was a pidgey ... and the second one was a weedle. FML! :mad:

I have a 9 year old assistant who is v familiar with all things pokemon ;)

Ivysaur - 1st evolution of Bulbasaur (which you can hatch from a 2k egg - he's a starter pokemon, as are pikachu, squirtle and charmander). Arbok - evolution of Ekans, snake pokemon. Nidoqueen is 2nd evolution of female Nidoran. :)

I got 3 pidgeys from 3 out of 4 2k eggs today :rolleyes:
 
Has anyone been using that appraise function? I just got it to evaluate the mankey I just caught. 'Room for improvement. A BIG one!'

It has a CP of 32 and HP of 13 :hmm:

A Big one means it's XL sized but I dunno why they bother telling you that since it says so anyway. The rest of it refers to the IVs which can be high because they are not level dependent, CP and HP are level dependent (ie: high level = high CP + HP), so the appraisal will say a pokemon is good or shit (in this case more towards shit than good) by its IVs.
You can raise the level of a pokemon by powering up, but you can't change the IVs. They don't make massive difference but if you're choosing between two similar level and CP/HP pokemon then this can tell you which has the higher IVs and is likely to evolve into a better pokemon (amount of dust needed to power up tells you the level roughly, higher the level the more dust you need). The moves they have are more important than the IVs anyway and you can't know that until you've evolved them.
