Got a Smoochum from 10km egg. That makes 4 of the Gen 2s!

I'm very surprised with the near dominance of Valor in this area. There are a few high traffic gyms still, but I don't mind. I spent way too much on this game and to get 100 coins a day and get locked into perpetually free incubators isn't a bad thing! The only problem is finding places to use all these Potions and Revives at......

Glad to see an update.

I still mess with it, a bit more lightly than I used to though. They're complete jerks about adding in the Gen2 stuff, and the eggs are popping nothing for me other than the igglypuff and pichu once.

Did have a nice surprise, I get mad with wasted time on stupid buses in the area here who don't opt to pull into side roads but block traffic, but not today. I had to stop, and POP Snorlax. Had not seen one of those for months (Oct or Nov) and while it was awful, the candy erasing it and the other I can boost up one of my 2 snorlax's twice. I have 2 that are the same move set but have a WOW with a different perk so I've kept both (hyperbeam shots) and now I'm finally digging up the weaker one.

I've got 5 Snorlax, 4 caught in the wild and 1 from a 10km egg. My best one (15/14/14 & 2530CP) has been in a level 10 gym since 12/31 as the leader but as of last week we lost a level and someone added in one that was higher so now it's 2nd from the top. The latest one I got in late December had some GREAT IVs (all 14s) but the CP wasn't all that great at just 750.

What I do now since I'm running out of Pokémon to put in gyms is to evolve Eevees that are 600CP or better and use them just as defenders, regardless of stats or movesets. I got a Jolteon and Flareon that both evolved at near 2000CP this way, I powered them up with the surplus Eevee candy I've got to their level caps, and just stick them in gyms. The Jolteon I just got has been in a gym for nearly a week.

May have to do that as well as I've got 250-300 eevee candy as I can't recall the last 'amazing' one I came across which sucks. Amazing seems to have dried up a lot.

Pokemon Go seems more crash happy to start up lately anyone else with that?

Snorlax#1 cp2199 - HP 207
Proud, Atk, Wow -- lick+hyperbeam
3500dust to upgrade

Snorlax#2 cp2024- HP 214
Decent, HP, Wow -- same skills, same dust upgrade

That's the best I've ever pulled with a snorlax, 4/4 found and caught, the others were awful so I candied them.

Best pokemon I think is my Charizard, it's amazing, attack, excellent -- wing atk/flamethrower 116HP maxed out at 2060cp for my level (26.)

The other 2 pokemon over2k I have are
Gyrados -2027, 122HP bite/twister - Decent, atk, wow (80% of arc filled)
Vaporeon - 2004, 171HP water gun/aqua tail - amazing, atk, wow (80% of arc filled)

From there next best is a 1819 vensaur.

I have not seen a 10k egg in over three months. Only 5ks.

The game is super crash happy on my end right now.

Same here, I think I haven't seen more than 1 10K egg in probably 4 months, and it popped up probably 2-3mo ago.

Also speaking of crash happy, I rarely can get it to even load up on the Android version on my shield tablet. I can fire it up but it just locks up on the loading screen and acts like it can not get in. I can restart it and sometimes it will pick up.

And I know it's Nintendo/DENAs fault on this crap because I can't even get INTO Fire Emblem in the least bit as it just sticks on the start screen and trying to enter just denies or just spins into eternity which is infuriating (while working 100% normal on my iphone.)

I doubt it, because neither Nintendo nor DENA is directly responsible for Pokémon Go. DENA aren't connected to the game at all, as it's developed by Niantic. It's also run by The Pokémon Company, which Nintendo only partly owns.

The Pokémon company does it's mobile content seperately to Nintendo, as you can tell by the other official Pokémon mobile apps and games, such as Pokémon Shuffle, Pokémon Duel and the official Pokédex apps. Many of these were available before Nintendo announced it would be creating mobile games.

I just deleted the app from my phone yesterday. Niantic are not taking this game seriously enough. There just isn't enough gameplay present in the game to keep me going. Now that Fire Emblem Heroes is out, I only have capacity for a couple mobile games, and that's now FE and my old standby, Marvel Puzzle Quest. Maybe they'll do something awesome and lure me back, but it's going to take more than bumping up the number of ratatta's I can catch.

Well someone is to blame on this and it's not my tablet. It's suspiciously just 2 Nintendo backed downloads failing to respond which makes little sense so you have to ask what all do they have in common nothing else I've got installed does?

Yesterday I played a lot of Pokemon Go.
I caught a Snorlax, five Charmanders, and eight Vulpix...Vulpixes...Vulpices... anyway, I found a nest and caught a bunch of 'em. I have more than enough Vulpix candy to evolve a Ninetails any time I like.

As much luck as I had catching Pokemon, I felt cheated on Gym battling. I leveled up a level nine Gym up to level ten. I thought the game gives priority to the player who leveled up the Gym, but not this time. As soon as I exited the battle screen, I found that some jerk had snuck his pokemon into the gym I leveled up. :evil:
