[pengaleng]

[pengaleng]

I suddenly have a very powerful Rhydon, which is nice.

Elite trainers!!

people are reporting they have found ditto while capturing a normal pokemon (pidgey, zubat, rattata) thats harder to catch than normal and when you catch it it transforms into ditto (I've been fucking pokemon off all day cus they were having none of it and am kicking myself now a bit)



the hunt is on!!

 

[aqua]

yep I woke to that news too I'm catching every single little fucking thing today AND it's double xp, AND the sightings thing has been rolled out to australia, western america and parts of canada too so surely it can't be MUCH longer coming here?

AND the rumour is the new monsters will be out this side of xmas

AND I need to stop reading silphroad

 

[pengaleng]

am going out to find this little blob today

 

[aqua]

No luck so far

 

[pengaleng]

I am readying myself with weed and coffee, it'll be a bit before I go out I just woke up and my head aint right

 

[scifisam]

I got a ditto!

Really need a phone to play this on so that I can actually see how many are in my pokedex.

 

[pengaleng]

went to my park for a bit today - couldnt do much cus I'm doing loads tomorrow and worked yesterday - noticed a distinct lack of pidgeys they aint around when you want em

 

[BigTom]

didn't have any luck at lunchtime but am going to brave the dark and cold and go for a walk in my local park in the hope of getting one. What was your ditto masquerading as scifisam ?

 

[scifisam]

Think it was a zubat (full name NotAnotherFuckingZubat), which I don't always bother catching.

 

[pengaleng]

I might go for a walk up the main road in a bit theres usually those kinda shitty pokemon around

 

[Fingers]

Caught 25 shit ones today and no ditto. I did however pick up my first Scyther last night around Marble Arch.

 

[aqua]

Caught a snorlax and a Ditto which was a Pidgey, took three Pokeballs, two great balls, three ultra balls and raspberries. Bloody thing it was 189cp

 

[mrsfran]

I caught a Ditto too Loving the extra XP and dust.

 

[aqua]

Just did an evolve session of the stuff caught in the last couple of days, with lucky egg = 82k, which shunted me up to level 29

Bees is not amused

Still have my Dragonite and dotrip to evolve, am saving them for pickle

 

[pengaleng]

just went down the road - no ditto - having trouble walking with my right hip, it aint co operating and is quite painful - i keep forgetting to rotate my joint instead of picking my leg up and twisting me pelvis to move it for some fuckin reason - walking takes a lot of concentration hope I am good for city pokemissions - no pain no gain

 

[mrsfran]

Go somewhere you can whiz about on a mobility scooter maybe?

 

[BigTom]

got me a ditto this lunchtime, from a zubat 36cp lol, just needed a pokeball, caught it and then instead of saying "zubat caught" (or whatever the words are) it said "oh?" and then morphed into ditto.

 

[BigTom]

Tried it attacking in a gym to see how it worked but got killed just as it managed to morph into the defender. Did fight someone else's and takes on both the type and the moves of whatever it is facing - was hoping it would take the moves but keep it's type as that would give tactical opportunities but still cool, if you have one with enough HP to get to morph and face off whatever it's facing.

 

[Fingers]

Caught endless shit ones on the bus today and no Ditto.

 

[pengaleng]

The Chinese think that Pokemon Go is a surveillance conspiracy by Japan and the US to monitor Chinese military bases. The Chinese plan to retaliate by launching their own version of Pokemon Go, that can be used to spy on military bases in other countries.

They have also totally revamped their military, in part because of the Pokemon Go threat.

"Pokemon Go" is a conspiracy between Japan and the U.S. to undermine the BeiDou system, Chinese national security officials say in earnest. Using GPS, the game makes it possible to draw maps and take photos of restricted areas and identify the locations of missiles by positioning game characters in various places across China, they say.

The claim suggests China may plan to probe military facilities around the world by releasing a Chinese version of "Pokemon Go" that will use the BeiDou system. If China realizes a "military that can fight" through Xi's reforms, the military balance between the U.S. and China may be affected.

[pengaleng]

fuck off, china. no ones gonna play your shitty fake pokemon game.

 

[Fingers]

How long is the double XP for? I need to evolve a hell of a lot of stuff with a happy egg. 2k for each evolve. 4K for a new Pokemon.

[mrsfran]

I did a shit load of evolves today with an egg, got about 80,000 XP from it.

The double XP lasts for 1 week, so until next Wednesday.

 

[mrsfran]

I now have a Blastoise and a 100% Machamp with a decent move set

If you're into it, it may be worth putting an alarm on your phone to remember to stick a lucky egg on before hitting a pokestop and catching a Pokemon on your 7th streak day. Mine's Sunday.
