What CP was it and what level are you? I was happy enough with Dratini earlier today. A similar thing happened in our town yesterday when Poliwrath spawned by the river, atleast thirty odd people were either side of it having a go.
I'm level 22, mine was 1900cp, powered up to over 2200, hes a bit of a beast

That's mega. My highest is 1200 at level 18 atm with 50K stardust waiting. Evolved a Psyduck into an 1150 Golduck this morning which will be handy taking out gyms.

My mate completed the Magikarp grind and now has a 1750 Gyrados. I've hatched a few rare ones, like Chansy, Onix and Pikachu. We also caught a Wartortle and I now have 55 Squirtle candy building up to Blastoise.

^^ handy little reference for you in working out whether or not to power up pokemon. If they're nowhere near their theoretical max CP there's little point in using up stardust to raise their CP.

Saw a Venesaur last night, sadly it ran away.

Seems in the town at least everyone has stepped their game up, Gyms are no longer easy pickings with 3 or 4 1000+'s, and usually a tank at the end that's just not worth trying to train against to make more space

I played the original Pokemon when I was a kid. It involved sitting on your own in the same place. The new one is just too much effort.

I did however have an old gentleman in work ask me what all the fuss was about.

" Your a youngun' whats this poke ball thing you lot are going mad about "

I just told him it was a craze that would be dead by the time the schools go back in September.
I absolutely guarantee this is not a phase and will still be played by millions this time next year.
I guarantee it will be over by Christmas
I thought you just said September? But now it's Christmas? Make your mind up!

IIRC a game has never been as successful as this game. How many games have you seen made 50m+ people get up and outside, meet with friends etc? It's none. This is only going to get bigger and bigger.

But I'll remember this post in December when you're wrong and I'll quote it smile

Definitely feel they're going to have to expand some of the features of this if it's going to be a long term thing.

Having some feature of the game you can "play" that doesn't require you to leave the house seems like a must, especially once the great British winter kicks in. Pokemon hunting ain't going to be any fun at all then...

What happens if you have 9 eggs, does it prevent you from getting more? If so, is there a way to get rid of eggs in the hope of getting a 10km one

The 40 min walk today was quality over quantity, i only get 4 1 of which was a hatched 189cp rhyhorn and caught a 218cp (my highest so far) jinx which took about 10 attempts to catch, even spinning the balls.

I did take over a gym by beating a 318cp kakuna with my 218 jynx but it did swap to my rhyhorn at one point during the battle but lost the gym again within 5 mins

No way to delete eggs, just need to be hatching them, ie getting out and actually walking. One thing I'm not really doing at the moment, so I've got 9x 2k eggs at the moment frown

Ok thanks, i had 6 eggs then walked for 40 mins and had 9! Where i walk there are a load of stops, must have got about 20 or so today so i am not short of items, just pokemon

I have decided to use my infinite incubator for all the 2k eggs as so i can use my second incubator that i found for all the 10k eggs so it doesn't destroy itself so quickly

So annoying last night. Was parked up and checked pokevision to see there was a nidoqueen and pincer down the river. Had 6 mins left on timer. Drive it like I stole it to get to the river in time but I went to the wrong side frown

I've just been trying to clear eggs as quickly as possible, so using all the incubators I have. Way I see it is if I'm full of 2ks the spare incubators are pointless as I'll never pick up any 5/10ks.

It seems that most of my friends are cheating at this now.

They have a computer application that logs them in and walks round in a 10 mile circle catching pokemon and getting pokestops.

A friend left it on all night and is now level 24 (from 0 he started a new account the same night) after evolving all the pokemon it caught with a lucky egg hatched.


Meanwhile im on still on Lvl 9 becuase im playing properly and am a lazy git and dont want to walk anywhere hehe

Accounts have been banned for this, hopefully it's not long until your friends are banned too furious
