Pokemon Go

[trashpony]

I've never had a tentacool.

We've had 20 but only 4 clefairies It's a shame you can't do swapsies.

Am hoping to find all sorts of exciting poke things in NYC

 

[BigTom]

For a while there was a tentacool nest in the Meadows in Edinburgh. Seems to have changed to geodudes now though.

I'm in Edinburgh for a couple of days next week for work and I still need to evolve a golem (edit: it's 10 minutes from my hotel, two evenings with nothing to do...)

Trading will happen at some point possibly next month
If you see a Taurus whilst you are there, that's the American region exlusive... when trading does happen they will be valuable (unless you are able to swap with people around the world - I kind of imagined it would need to be people you are physically near, bluetooth connection or something, but that article suggests otherwise.

City centre isn't bad for pokemon - but if you can get out to Portobello there's a bit of a hub outside the town hall - a triangulation of pokestops, often all lured and lots of interesting pokemon.

Bit far to go tbf The Meadows is only 10 minutes from my hotel and I need geodudes so I'll head there if I go out pokemon hunting.

edit: actually not as far as it looked at first, but if I get geodudes in the meadows I'll just go back there, I know what I'm like.

Did you get a Far Fetch'd whilst you were out in the far east? They are that area's region exclusive, saw one in a gym at the uni this weekend, international students back I assume.

No I never came across one in Cambodia or Thailand. Loads of other cool stuff though in Bangkok. the two hotels we stayed in were both Pokestops and there were stop every ten yards or so. Shitloads of Pokemon

 

[Fingers]

Next trip out will be Regents Park. Lots of cool stuff there I hear.

If you can swap with anyone that would kinda make the game pointless, no?

Yeah.

 

[pengaleng]

well dont see the point of trading, I aint gonna have anyone elses shitty pokemon

 

[spanglechick]

At Guy's this morning, I am finding more ratattas than usual. The only other place I've seen lots of rats was at Kings. Hospitals = rats?

Hospitals seem to be busy with monsters generally. I think ingress might have been big with healthcare and lab types. I just watched a gym change colour three times in five minutes (my Clefable Queen is in there for now).



ION, I hatched a 10k egg to find a fucking Jinx. My last one was an eevee. Bloody swizz. OTOH, a recent 5k egg yielded my first Tangela.

 

[Ranbay]

game is pissing me off now, finding nothing new

getting bored.

 

[trashpony]

There was clearly a run of 10k jinx eggs. We got a Magmar today which is a vast improvement

 

[pengaleng]

hatching an eevee is epic tho the wild ones are made of shit

 

[Saffy]

All I get are rats and pidgies around my house.

 

[spanglechick]

I just caught three Oddish, and now have enough to evolve on my next lucky egg.

 

[pengaleng]

am thinking of changing me pokemon trainer name, atm it's ScampiFriez tho lol

seen a trainer round ere in a gym called touchmyballs

 

[trashpony]

Buddy update is now in the app store!

 

[BigTom]

Awesome, thank you, charmamder is now my buddy, just 120km to go!

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

I assumed it would be 1K per candy. But some are as high as 5K

 

[strung out]

Charmander is 3km per candy, so only another 300km needed before I get my Charizard...

 

[BigTom]

I assumed it would be 1K per candy. But some are as high as 5K

How do you know how far for each one? I need to go 360km for a charizard then I probably would have ended up doing 120km but 360km no chance at all, I'll get one evolution and not bother with the charizard.

edit: just found it by pressing on the buddy in the player info screen, I guess there are lists up on the internet for each one

If you buddy up with something it'll tell you how far you need to go until the next candy on the buddy info page

 

[pengaleng]

YESSSSSSSSSSSS I feel like total shit today there had to be something good

I have enough candy for a CharManDem and a ManLikeChar but all of my charmander are really shitty

now I'm even more annoyed that I probably cant go therapy tomorrow cus it's central and theres bare pokemon

and I'm pissed off I cant really go out for a walk now because I'm illin severely

my buddy is my Laprasy

 

[strung out]

Just been for a 5 mile run around Glasgow Green. Nothing much of note, but I did manage to hatch my first Lickitung

 

[BigTom]

tbh looking at the list of distances for candy from buddies I'm probably just about done with this - I imagine they done it for balance in the gyms but as I just want to collect the pokemon it's way too much distance - 60km just for the first evolution of charmander? fuck that. I've got a few incubators and some eggs to hatch, I'll get those done and see what comes from them / how I feel but right now I reckon I've got more or less as many as I'm going to (127).

 

[pengaleng]

dont you live near a charmander spawn?

 

[BigTom]

no, I cba to travel 45m-1hr+ each way to maybe get 4-6 charmander until my battery dies after an hour. I'd need to get 30 so that'd be at least 5 trips and probably more as there's no guarantees of getting any at all.

 

[aqua]

I have to confess getting a bit bored of it now. It's killing my battery, I rarely if ever find any new ones and I'm sick of fucking pidgeys. I work full time do the buddy system won't help me as I can't get anywhere to walk.

Am hoping the increase in students in the city brings an increase in players therefore more stuff when they arrive this month tbh

 

[Ranbay]

5k per snoralx candy!
