Almost a third of my catches are electric type. Voltorbs and Magnemites everywhere. I'm going to start walking near the beach to get some nifty water types (also it's cooler there anyway).

I better still be able to fish pokeballs out of the local 9/11 Memorial.

I'm glad pokevision confirms that there are currently only pidgeys, ratatas and spearows in like a 10 mile radius of my house in the middle of Denver.

That's definitely true.

I wonder what the dropoff in IAPs has been. That lunch spot has two stops within range and used to be nearly constantly lured, but rarely is anymore.

Or maybe just everyone figured out you just get a bunch of Magikarp there.

Heard at work that somebody got caught trying to sneak into here (the water tower is a stop).

Somehow they didn't notice the NO TREAPASSING BY ORDER OF THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY signs.

There's a gym a block from my work, the problem is that it's in the courtyard in the middle of a hospital and I can't reach it from the public walkways. Time to order some scrubs on eBay.

I came home to find two Dratini chilling in front of my house today. I saw Dratini there once or twice before, though. Not sure if much has changed here... I hope the Pikachu nest near my place is still intact.

The largest hospital in Austin (and only one with a level 1 trauma center so they some nasty cases) had to put a bunch of signs up around the ER and ICU telling people to stop hunting Pokemon in restricted areas of the hospital.

They really should populate the area around graveyard PokeStops and gyms with Ghost-types. I have no qualms about capturing someone's dear old grandfather and forcing his ghost to fight on my behalf after naming him "Fifth Element".

"Do not attempt to catch Pokémon in the ICU, or Security will justify your presence in the Unit".

Is pokevision super jank for anyone else? It doesn't seem to show everything for me. Pokebliss shows a lot more pokes in the area than pokevision.

Pokemon Go

The rarest Pokemon of all has been spotted in the Smithfield Police Department processing room: Ditto!

Since it so rare we can only allow a limited number of people in the building to capture it. We put the mainframe computer in the basement to work and came up with a list of random citizens eligible for this rare opportunity. If your name is on the list below, you are one of the lucky folks invited to come to the Police Department for the capture!

Marc Eley Burton
Terry Carsolerick Cobb
Anrea Irma Goins
Neshaeka Divonne Harkless
Karolyn Yvonne Heath
Henry Lanauze
Cydny Charleston Lewis
Wilbur Pair

This list will be updated periodically, as long as Ditto hangs around!

Apparently, it's a list of wanted criminals. I hope this works. :allears:

17 magikarp? That's like 10% closer to a Gyrados.

Last time I dropped a lure, I got 4 pokemon... total.

Good.

Yes, they need to fix the in game tracker but seriously, it ruins the spirit of the game entirely and it was a pretty huge turn off for me when I found out about them.

Overnight all the the local PoGo hotspots I frequent went from hundreds of people spread out to hyper concentrated clusters of people all standing in the exact same spot, not actually walking anymore, waiting for spawns to flip while staring at whatever data scraping app they're using.

Pretty loving weak rear end poo poo if you ask me. I was happy when that garbage got ousted from Ingress and I'll be thrilled when it happens here.

I would gladly pay money for a bigger radar and not have to deal with all the walking around to find stuff.

I'm a busy adult with plenty of things to do. It's nice knowing I can go down a certain path To lunch to catch something. These apps are a blessing.

Thanks to Pokevision I was able to spot a Venusaur, and thanks to my bicycle I was able to ride over to it just before it despawned. I caught the sucker and then the servers suddenly started being lovely. Yeah, I do think I'm done playing for today.

Question. How do I choose which Pokemon to evolve? I have a couple Pigeotto that are close in CP. one is XS with lovely attacks, and the other is XL with slightly better attacks.

My Zubat went from being XL to XS when it evolved and it's moves become worse as well. Is it just completely up to chance?

You don't. You just keep grinding for candies and startdusts until level 40, looking for the Pokemon with perfect IVs, and then you dump them all into them to make 1 ultimate Pokemon.
