Think a number of the people intrested in Pokemon Go are in their 20s and 30s, rather than being aged 10

Yep - just installed it myself!

It's not available in the UK yet, but it's as simple as finding the package if you're an Android user.

Nightmare on Apple though! You have to change your account to Australia or something couldn't be bothered with that haha

All tongue in cheek

I must have been in my 20's when it came out, so way beyond me. Genuinely have no idea what it's about apart from little stompy dinosaurs and a fella who looks like Bazza

I know people around my sort of age (22) who may be into Pokemon, certainly know some who played with Yu-Gi-Oh cards. I'm not intrested in either of these myself but there's nothing wrong with anyone who does like any of these types of things.

Suppose at that age, they have grown up with it. It has been out as long as they have been alive, with the phenomenon growing and developing over the years.
Some move on to new things, others stick with what they like - much like any hobby or interest really.

So what's everyone's best or rarest finds on Pokemon Go?

It's actually quite an addictive game, once you get into it!

My highest level Pokemon is my Raticate - which is 120cp haha


I have an Eevee is that rare?


I haven't really been outside for it for a full day, i haven't had the chance to.


Whats your best Pokemon?


Honestly, never seen such hype for Pokemon since it was launched in the UK and when they released Pokemon cards... i still have mine

Eevees are quite common when you level up. I've got one at cp238. 

I've got a few which I'm trying to level up - Pidgeot cp449, Dratini cp199, Beedrill cp274 and Psyduck cp210.

Pokedex has seen 38 and caught 37 different types.

Cool, where did you find  Dratini, Beedrill and Psyduck?

So far I've seen 12 and caught 10 lol

Dratini found at Gilesgate roundabout. Beedrill was eventually evolved from a Weedle. Psyduck was found on South Burns at Chester-le-Street, along with a Jinx!

Had a go on Pokemon Go today and all I seem to find is Pidgeys and Rattatas!

No idea about Pokemon so not sure which ones are rare.

Look somewhere else then! It's a game you need to travel around with, otherwise you'll get no where.

Catch everything you can, as it's all worth stardust and type candy. You can use that to evolve.

I have haha but thats all that comes up. And I haven't been able to get on it much anyway as it just freezes on the load page. Then again it's probably because it's so popular

The higher level you are the better your finds. Level 5 onwards. 

Also try newcastle city centre.  It'll be littered with Pokestop.

Ah right cheers that'll be why then. I'll try seeing what I can find there next time I go to town

I've just decided to download it to my phone, may try it out tomorrow as I may head out somewhere.

Aye it will be a decent game if you are moving around I think

You could play it on the bus haha

Not going get much when I'm currently sat in the house, trying to keep on track with my Flickr uploads

(19 Jul 2016, 5:34 pm)Michael wrote You could play it on the bus haha

That was one idea I had.

Keep collecting them - transfer the rubbish ones for candy and you can evolve some of the better ones. Helps you gain experience points, too.

3 pokestops accessible from old eldon square, plus the man with a pigeon above the escalators inside and the Percy street end of the bus station. The path up past the amusements to the library is a good spot as well. McDonald's and H Samuel clock on Northumberland street, too. They regenerate after about 5 minutes, so you can pick up quite a lot of balls and things, so long as the US is still asleep!

Metrocentre is another place with plenty of stops - all the silver people plus a few others.

Most of the pubs in CLS seem to have pokestops or gyms assigned to them.

Not a single stop in my village. Clearly not cultured enough for anyone to bother playing ingress.

So there is a lot in town compared to around mine - no wonder I can't find any. Hopefully will have a bit more luck when I go there.

Don't go to the Metrocentre too often though but next time I'm there will check that out too. Cheers for the info too

I always have voicemails. I reject calls after half 4 and get back to them in the morning. Call me dedicated....!

Show off. I've only got 2 eevees and one of them is only CP13. Even if I get enough good ones for the naming trick, it'll take me a year to get enough candy, at this rate.
