Nice.

I've managed to put a fair amount of effort in the last week, managed to now get up to level 14 when I was only on level 8 this time last week.

Unfortunately I still have some issues with the app, can only get the app to properly work if I fire it up when connected to a strong WiFi network.

I caught the victreebel two days after I started, at the time I had no bellsprouts but I find them when I go to school on a morning so I can power my victeebel up. It started on 106cp and is now 1372

Yep have bought another incubator and lucky egg with google reward credits to make the most of it. Should have a charmeleon and exeggcutor to add to my pokedex after that evolution session. Such a shame that cleadon park, where the carmanders are currently hiding out, is so hard to get to (well not hard - it's on the prince bishops route but definitely longwinded for us!), but we're due another migration in the next couple of days, anyhow.

Peterlee town centre is reliable for bellsprouts

Caught 131 seen 140, btw, but I'm well into level 29 (much faster progress with this week's thanksgiving event!)

Not "seen" Porygon, Charizard (ready to evolve one) and Chansey (only seen shadows - bigun caught one, of course!)

On top of those and the new evolutions I'm ready for, still missing venusaur, charizard (both a long way off!), muk, lapras, omastar, kabutops (git escaped) snorlax and dragonite (a very long way off evolving, as my only dragonaire is CP20!)

Have a feeling this one will be interesting because its rumoured we have a massive update in December... Including gen 2.

Only seen a Porygon at a gym or as a shadow 

Seen a few shadows of Chansey too.

I'm still looking for loads, including Ditto

It'll be well timed to keep me going because I'm all set to stop caring once I hit level 30, otherwise!

have had ditto from pidgey and rats.

Wonder if they'll increase the max level with gen 2 coming out, so it'll go to like level 50.... But takes ages to get it.

(28 Nov 2016, 10:59 pm)BusLoverMum wrote have had ditto from pidgey and rats.

Alright for some, i've yet to see one too... As its supposed to appear in your Pokedex even if it was a pidgey etc.. Not sure how accurate it is though

I might have been playing this for 4.5 months, since it started, but can't see me being at level 35 before the next 4.5 months is out! Without events, it's taking me almost a month a level, now.

you definitely know it's ditto because you get an animation for it.

Taking me a while too.

I'm off to Beamish tomorrow, does anyone know if anything decent spawns?

Last time I passed (couple of weeks ago on the waggonway) I only got a sporadic signal on both 3 and EE, so no idea! Do log in when you pass through CLS, though! The marketplace is gold for watery stuff - and is where bigun saw his porygon shadow!

Cheers, i'll be getting the 78 so i'll be getting off at CLS, so i'll keep my eyes out.

I'l let u know if anything decent spawns though, same at Beamish (depends on the signal).

Went to Durham a few weeks back and got a few decent Pokemon.

I was thinking about going to that park in CLS but haven't had time with work etc.

I'm wondering if anyone has actually reached level 40 legitimately.

If I do ever catch a porygon, I'd like to do it at Parsons Polygon.

Update:

Trainers,

We will be expanding the Nearby Pokémon feature to the rest of the continental United States and large parts of Europe. We will continue to review the feedback submitted on our official social media accounts and in other channels and make changes if necessary.

The Pokémon GO team

Click on the picture and then click on the foot prints it shows you where the pokemon is.

Finally, although its a beta still, i think.


Edit: It only ever shows Pokemon at Pokestops... what's the point in it?

----

Nests have also changed...

Barnes park in Sunderland now a Ekans nest
Mowbray Park is now a Machop nest

It's rubbish. I can only see what's right in front of me in what's left of sightings as we don't have any poke stops nearby. No more throwing my coat on and hunting down a bulbasaur.

Currently have 9 eggs going:

1 - 10km egg - currently at 7.5km
2 - 2km eggs - 0km done
6 - 5km eggs - 0km done

Hatches are getting worse too.

My tracker has gone back to the old one..

Wait... it seems to change, so old one if you aren't close to a Pokestop and new one if you are.


Not sure if its just me but the game is being annoying, the speed thing keeps coming for no reason...

Yep, it was the old one if nowhere near a stop but it wasn't showing anything that hadn't already spawned. Thankfully, it's been fixed now, so the bulbasaur hunts are back on.
