Pokémon Go Anyone?

[Homercidal]

I'd like to evolve my haunters. Other than that, I am good on the rest. I'm most interested in collecting them all right now. Still a ways to go, though.

 

[Newsman]

Get ready for Wednesday guys! I'm going to be walking my dratini like crazy!

I like this! Might have to get some extra Pokemoning in!

I'm focused on completing my pokedex also and this event is a great opportunity to help you do that. When the buddy system first started I started by walking any pokemon that only needed 1km/candy until I had all the evolved forms, and then moved on to the 3km/candy. Right now I am 1km away from being able to hatch my grimer finally!

With this bonus candy week you can get 4 candies per instead of just one, that can lead to evolving a lot of pokemon that you might still need! I only have 5km/candy ones left but if you still have a lot of 1 and 3's you can probably get a lot in during this week.

Magicarp time!

 

[TwistedGray]

The Halloween deal has begun, FYI

 

[Homercidal]

My Pikachu just got enough candy to evolve yesterday. Need to choose another one to walk with now.

So hard to pick one!

Has anyone noticed the gyms leveling up much faster since the last update (which allows you to train with 6 guys at a time)? Pretty much every gym in my town is now a Level 10 with 52000/50000 prestige. I am not sure how to go about attacking them.

Probably the same way as before. Might need to get a couple of buddies if they have high CP pokes in them.

FYI I went out at lunch with a girl from work and there were Gastlies, Haunters, Cubones, etc. all over the place! Much more of them than even the commons before the event.

Yup, same here except one or two gyms. Sucks

SOOOO many pokemons out last night. Ran out of balls.

Just went out at lunch today and burned through 38 balls. Crazy numbers of Ghastly and Cubone out there. Need to stock up on balls. Halloween night is probably going to be nuts.

Halloween night won't be any different than any of the other days during this event.

Anyone have a clue why so many Cubone? I didn't think it was one of the types that was going to be overrepresented during this event...

Because of the skull and bone I guess. Vaguely Halloween related.

More Meowth's around too. Black cat, beige cat that stands on two legs, meh.

I get Cubone. In gen 1 you got Cubone in the Pokemon tower with Ghastly and Haunter. Makes sense.

Meowth, I don't get it though.

Yeah, Meowth has been all over the place too...

Ghost type are hard for me to catch.

 

[Newsman]

Ghost type are hard for me to catch.

I've had little problems catching Ghost Pokemon. Pretty easy for me to catch. Sometimes I have to use a Megaball and/or razzberry, but I can usually catch them. I've even learned how to catch those blasted bat pokemon... hard to get enough lift to catch them without "winding up" on your throw

 

[Aristotelian]

Just hatched my first Snorlax from a 10k egg. Also evolved a Gengar and caught another. I am ready to do some serious battling tonight.

 

[Homercidal]

Mostly missed the event due to other endeavours. I *hope* to get to go around and at least cycle through some stops in Big Rapids and stock up on balls. I was planning on walking a couple of eggs, but didn't even get a set of 5Ks to hatch yet!

If we hadn't already gone out a few times recently I'd invite my wife to a "date night" and sneakily get her to drive me around town.

 

[Kharnynb]

I've been trying to get into it, but for some reason our town only has pokestops in the center of town, a good 5 km away from where i live and work....sadly the request a pokestop function is dead as well...ran out of pokeballs around level 5 and it's very slow going with verry little monsters spawning on our dogwalking routes...The few eggs i get when i go into town for shopping at the 1 mall that isn't near us get hatched within 1-2 days and then it's waiting for the weekly shop trip...

 

[betarhoalphadelta]

Going to say goodbye to all these guys... Deleting the app.

I personally can't take it any more.

Gameplay is terrible for anyone who doesn't have enough time to actually seek out fellow players to capture (and hold) gyms. I don't have time for that. Beyond that, what is the point? So I'm done.

My son has become intolerable, ALWAYS wanting to play. When I learned that my house had a xx:40 spawn across the street, he's constantly wanting to look at the clock and reminding me "Hey dad, it's 6:43. Can I catch it?" Ugh. As much as I enjoyed the early reasons to go on walks with him, it's not like I can constantly walk with him AND the other two kids AND make dinner / do baths / get him to do his homework, all before dark.

Supposedly he says his mom will him play it when she's got the kids. So I sent her the login info. Not like I think it's very likely, because she's a cellphone addict and won't like not having it surgically attached to her hands. But at least I got to soften the blow of telling him it's gone...

 

[Homercidal]

Bummer. I don't play as much as I did, but I attribute that more to the changing of the seasons, having a sinus infection, and having to get some things done before winter.

I didn't manage to walk much at all. The app wouldn't load on my phone after I did a factory reset. I am guessing it "requires" a camera for some reason. By the time I did some yard chores and went to BR to replace my phone and got that done it was late. So I missed most of the walking bonus.

I can't certainly understand that. I like the excuse to get out during the workday and go for a 2.5-5k walk...I'm lazy so the hatching of eggs is a great incentive

New update is pretty interesting. 6+ items from a stop is the norm now. Plus they rebalanced the fighting/training at gyms to give more weight back to fighting. I was getting sick of seeing all the gyms around me at Lvl 10 for weeks on end and full of Dragonites. It's back to lots more turnover already.

 

[Homercidal]

I noticed the major improvement to pokestop quantity the other day. It's really been helping keep the number of balls up for me. Haven't been catching as much, but I started hitting stops on the way to/from work and it only takes 1-2 trips through town to get good amount. For a short bit there was a LOT of pokemon popping up as well. Seems more normal now.

Wish I could find some new ones. I haven't seen a 10k egg in forever.

Loving this change! Of the five gyms within about 0.25-0.5miles of each other only two would change. The rest sat at Level 10 since the last update that allowed six Pokemon to train. I'm glad we have the full training staff, and now happier it's modified to fighting gyms more-so than defending.

Once you do take note of the location because supposedly those locations that push out 10k eggs do so more often than not. That's what I heard in the rumor mill anyways.

The seven day deal is worth doing. Lots of XP and items for the 7th day catch and poke stop.

I heard the thing with extra stuff and Pokémon at every stop was a bonus leading up to Veteran's Day. It went back to normal late Friday evening.

I've got my pokepedal route down now. Six stops in a loop with little backtracking.
