D-Lyrium Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Finally got chance to go out for a proper walk around the city... servers down all day. Booooo. I did catch a few pokemon in and around Yo! Sushi though, and "met" (made eye contact with and mutually acknowledged the existence of, it counts!) a cute girl though. ¬_¬ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek B Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 I had an eleven hour shift today so I've not had much chance to play... I did leave for work 30 minutes early so that I could swing through town and grab some more pokeballs as I was short... and since I couldn't get on at work due to the servers being down and briefly thinking I had used up my roaming data already, I've only just started catching some more things. Picked up a Hitmonchan from an egg and got a Gloom when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iruleall15 Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 Anyone got an idea how adding pokemon to a gym works? Sometimes I can and sometimes I cant add Pokemon to a gym on my team even if it doesnt have 6 pokemon. Im so confused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHK1978 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I cannot believe that some people are so stupid when playing this game (Note I said they were stupid when playing the game not for playing the game). You have idiots walking into traffic, you have that moron couple who broke into the zoo, I have heard others getting hurt. I just cannot wrap my mind around how people do not pay attention to their surroundings when playing this game. It truly does boggle my mind. I think that people deserve anything bad that happens to them while playing this game. Adults playing this game should not need to be warned over common sense things.

Im so confused If it's your color and there is an open spot you will see a button in the lower left. If there is no open spot I believe you just battle till the gym levels up.

Derek B Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I've added Dratini, Charmander, Geodude and a few more to my pokedex today, taking my total just now up to 54 at the moment with a few more coming via evolution later (like Clefable, Butterfree and perhap Nidoqueen)... best pokemon at the moment is still my Hpyno who is up to 905 and my next best is miles behind being a Pidgeot at 552... Having lots of fun with this, have been regularly taking gyms in town though it's not easy with my team having so little strength in depth. Hoping my next two 5km eggs will hatch into something good but my eggs mostly suck so far.... and I'm having no luck getting any 10km eggs either, apart from the one I hatche my Hitmonchan from. Also been chatting to some random strangers. I have a feeling I will one day be going on Pokemon Go dates and they will be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moon_lit_tears Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 So I'm so annoyed right now. Just spent like 60+ balls trying to catch a Butterfree...I will NEVER use Razz-berries again, they screwed everything up. Instead of the ball going right at the pokemon like it SHOULD, it went way off to the right. No matter how I threw it..like the Pokemon had a fan attached to it or something...

Big Roguey Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Finally spent time playing this yesterday. Caught a Dragonair and joined Team Instinct. Was pretty chill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek B Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Yay, more Instinct players! I'm recruiting everyone from work, so far we have 5 players for team yellow with two more perhaps on the way. Downside at the moment is that I'm struggling to get on the servers. I'm level 16 but if I head into town for an hour I can evolve a million pokemon and end up at level 19 or 20 easily. Also have a stockpile of stardust to raise up some of them too, so I will end up pretty strong. I think Clefable or Hypno will end up being my strongest, though Jolteon might be good.

titlebelt Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Absolutely have lost some weight while playing. We were in Boston this week and walked the Freedom Trail, about 4 miles (6.4km) and hatched a Snorlax! This might be obvious at this point, but if you're ever stopped at a PokeStop for lunch or whatever, plug in a lure, use incense and a lucky egg to powerlevel a bit.
