Level 24. I can't get the gyarados any bigger at this level, and my second monster is STILL in the fucking gym in cornwall

 

[spanglechick]

I have a jigglypuff buddy. Not only is she my favourite, but she pays out candy every 1km. Was going to buddy with my bulbasaur, but jigglypuff is better all round.

 

[scifisam]

Here's a list of how many I have of each (first number's seen, then caught).

It's not exactly a sign of lots of variety in my hunting grounds, but I have played i three countries and four counties! I'm just pursued by Drowzees, Pidgeys and Rattatas! Pretty much none of some of the ones you guys have a lot of, like clefairy and magnemite.

[bi0boy]

Don't see many playing it now, and I must admit I've kinda got bored of it. Maybe it's where I live and going for a five mile walk in evening and encountering 37 pigeons and maybe 1 pollywag or something if I'm lucky.

I think it will be remembered as that wild summer 2016 thing.

Is that any different to any other computer game though?

 

[Fingers]

Magnites have only started appearing around herd over the last two days. Quite a lot of them.

Caught an Ekans tonight. I found one in Bangkok but it fucked off and they have been taunting me ever since.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Good day today - reached level 25, got 2 new types (110 in total now), passed the 150km total walked and visited my 2000th pokestop

 

[pengaleng]

I aint been able to go out for a week, been well ill, need to soon cus I'm down to 8 pokeballs

this game is well fuckin awkward when you got hand issues, and do shitty throws all the time

am on 100 in pokedex, am holding out on bare evolutions

gonna rename me gengar 'ChelseaGrin'

 

[mrsfran]

pengaleng do you know the trick of holding the phone upside down when throwing pokeballs? It's much easier to do a straight line downwards than upwards.

 

[mrsfran]

I'm on 110 in the Dex now. this week got me Raichu, Vileplume, Charmeleon, the last of the 3 Evee evolutions, Ivysaur, Sandslash and Dodrio

 

[pengaleng]

pengaleng do you know the trick of holding the phone upside down when throwing pokeballs? It's much easier to do a straight line downwards than upwards.

no! I will try that one! cheers!

 

[trashpony]

That's a brilliant tip! 113 in the Pokedex here.

The foal took down a gym today and some older kids came along and joined it and were talking in hushed voices about how strong the foal is and what awesome Pokemon he has. He is 'very grateful' for my contribution apparently

 

[pengaleng]

has he seen sense on the shitty raichu tho?

thats what we all wanna know

 

[trashpony]

No

 

[squirrelp]

snorlax... "Your name's not down, you're not coming in"

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Another 2 new ones today, 112 total now

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Oh, also king of a level 7 gym, never been in one that high before

 

[pengaleng]

hench lapras bro

what does it lift?

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Errrrrr. Send me a young person to translate and I'll let you know

 

[trashpony]

I caught a 860 lickitung in the Texaco garage today. And finally got the Arcanine over 2000cp.

Thanks to the buddy system, now up to 115 in the pokedex. My current buddy is haunter who is about 5 times my size, looming over my shoulder in a threatening way and I need 41 candies to evolve him. I'm going on a gastly hunt tomorrow - he's doing my head in already

It had become level 8 by this morning. This could well be the first time I've ever managed to stay in one for the 20 hours

You'll be in there for ages - when it's that high, people don't bother to try and defeat it (IME)

There's definitely teams of people working together round here, so it'll go eventually. With luck these teams are all back at school now though

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Made it to 20 hours, first time ever

 

[fractionMan]

So I've done exactly one battle. I just mashed the screen clicking on the guy until he died. It was such a confusing interface I couldn't tell when to dodge, or when to do a 'hold the button special move'

Any tips?

 

[spanglechick]

There's a level 9 gym opposite my mate's flat. Everything in it is minimum 1800CP.

There's no way of defeating that is there? If my best critters range between 1000 and 1900?

 

[fractionMan]

Also, I couldn't work out how to pick my team or put them in an order. Am I just thick?

There is, it will just take a long time and you will use a lot of potions to do so.

tbh the "bash the screen" approach is pretty much all I do

When the 6 it chooses for you come up you can press on any one of them to change it. When fighting there is a button in the bottom right to switch out to a different one.

I usually just go with whatever it gives me though. I'm sure if you know what you're doing there are ways of picking the ideal ones with the correct attacks, but meh, life's too short
