Pokemon Go

I've never played any Pokemon before this so I have no idea what I'm doing but I've caught 7000 Weedles so I have that going for me!

That's disappointing, but I guess harvest all the pidgeys and weedles (they take less candy) and then evolve them under the influence of a lucky egg?

I'm pretty sure lures are supposed to have a higher chance of attracting more uncommon Pokémon I think, so I feel like there should be some good stuff mixed in with the Commons. Maybe it just depends on where the lures are being set though?

Pokemon Go has definitely gotten me to walk around more, but now I refuse to take walks when the servers are down because it feels like a waste.

Today I had to look after my friends lunch at work while he went across the road to go and check out a lure.

I hope you ate it.

Apparently, we're having serious server issues in my area today. Went out to a few places to catch some more and spent most of my time staring at the loading screen before being booted out. The few times I did get on, the game quickly froze on me, which usually only "fixes" itself when I shut the app off and reboot it up, which sent me back to that loading screen and a dead battery.

I'm starting to think that I do better at night, it seems whenever I try to play in the day time, I run into these issues whereas at night, I have minimal issues.

I have the same issues in the late afternoon/evening. So it's kinda lame because I like to catch some Polemon coming back from work but can't because the game won't let me in.

Yeah, I tend to play more in the mornings because America is sleeping and that seems to make everything work a lot better. Can't wait for them to iron out all these issues, but it's understandable to some extent - they have to balance getting more servers to keep up with demand against the inevitability that a lot of people will stop playing soon after release, so figuring out just how many servers they should anticipate needing for one month from now is not an enviable task.

Still, would be nice if they communicated with us a little.

Also, omg, Growlithe, stop running away. Raspberry, Great Ball, escapes immediately and runs off. Doesn't he know how to play fetch!? You return to the person throwing the item!

I caught a Growlithe today! Catch of the Day = Pikachu, up to Level 18

There was an Eevee in my room :D

Thursday was a feeding frenzy for me. Caught like 10 new types, including charmander, squirtle, ivysaur, jigglypuff, meowth. I also popped a lucky egg and evolved like 10 pidgeys to get to level 18.

Been busy lately potty training the kids, but I did catch a nidorina in the Taco bell drive thru.

Caught a Pikachu and Bellflower today. Evolved Weedle and Ratata cause I finally noticed I had enough candy for both. I also hatched a Horsea and Tentacool from eggs. Level 9 currently and still no team.

The bottomless supply of Drowzee in Edinburgh means when I sort my Pokémon by CP, this is what it looks like...

I immediately transfer any Drowzee under 400 these days. I might have to edge that closer to 500 soon. x_x

I haven't been able to play much but today I really did play! :D

Hit level 6, joined Team Valor! Caught a Squirtle, Clefairy, Growlithe, Horsea, Drowzee, Ponyta, Zubat, Eevee, Oddish, Weedle, Caterpie, Kakuna, Venonat, and Seaking. I also evolved my Pidgey and got 2 eggs from various pokestops!

It was fun, I went out and walked a bit. Then this evening my sister and I drove around our town hitting the pokestops - some with lures. We took a walk through the park and it was just quite nice! :) When she was driving I was catching us both Pokemon on our phones at the same time haha!
