Oh yeah!! I thought you guys were messing about the Pikachu buddy thing.

pickarooney · 24-09-2016 09:51AM

Hatched a carp and caught a decent growlithe. Should have two new ones later today.

How is the game fairing these days, heard it was wanting popularity wise now.

Game is still doing very well.
Recent article from wired.com was posted 2-3 pages back.
It shows that revenues are actually up even though daily users are down from peak demand. Its still in the top 10 mobile games.
This is due to to normal 'fad' download of a popular free game/app. Casual users delete the game while genuine players stay interested and continue to invest in microtransactions.
Niantic has rolled out a couple of updates and has more planned, the pokemon background (which I was never into) has lots of scope for more updates in the future.

Had a strange thing happen this morning, Electabuzz on the Sightings but a Magmar spawned in (wasn't on sightings). As soon as I caught him the Electabuzz disappeared off sightings

Got an Aerodactyl of a lure earlier, great move set and IVs but only 150cp.

Are bite and hydro pump good?

They can be; Bite is the best "Dark" quick move whereas Hydro Pump is the best "Water" special move. What Pokemon are you asking for?

pickarooney · 24-09-2016 03:44PM

Gyardos, went trudging through the muck and rain to catch the last couple of carp and hope it wasn't in vain.

That moveset is joint 1st for attack for Gyarados; congrats!!

pickarooney · 24-09-2016 03:53PM

Phew. Will give him a run out in a gym later. Nobody fares go outside in the rain here so I should be able to find a quiet spot

Those moves give you the 2nd best attack and 4th best defensive moves, out of a possible 6; not too bad so. Just thank Jesus you didn't end up with Zen Headbutt and Earthquake

Since everybody dodges hyperbeam with ease earthquake is as good because people cant dodge it.

AMGer · 24-09-2016 04:16PM

Wish I had Gyarados with hydro pump, I got feckin twister

so I'm collecting candy towards a second one

You and me both! I think it'll be some time before I get my next Gyarados since I won't get out as much given the weather.

2k eggs are the bane of my existence, so many bloody zoobats, need crobat to be thrown into the game already.

pickarooney · 24-09-2016 06:24PM

2k are hit and miss for me. I've got some handy Charmander, Bulbasaur, Geodude and Magikarp amongst the dross. It's no sweat to hatch one, unlike the 10k ones with heartbreakers like Pinsir and Jynx in.

I'm getting well fecked off with mons spawning in inaccessible places. If they don't want people trespassing, getting knocked down or dying in mysterious circumstances they should stop spawning valuable pokemon in mental hospitals, on train tracks, in rivers with no paths and power plants. Missed two dratinis and a sandslash today because of this messing.

I'm up to over 200 bloody Zubat candy, I'll have an army of Crobats on day 1 of gen 2! Got a Charmander in a 2km yesterday and still want Magikarp aswell. Haven't hatched a Bulbasaur or Squirtle in ages.

Not to sound too smug, but all banter a few pages back about the lack of 10km eggs - I got 3 more from stops today

One of these has to be a Lapras!

pickarooney · 24-09-2016 06:29PM

The second one is the Lapras. The other two are Scyther and Amonite.

CraigM84 · 24-09-2016 06:36PM

im on to my 7th 10 km egg now, and ive already hatched 166 eggs

always get 2 and 5 kms, rarely 10s

AMGer · 24-09-2016 06:43PM

My 10km wants are Lapras>Hitmonlee>Kabuto>Dratini

A second Snorlax wouldn't be the worst either, I'd actually take another Eevee over another Electabuzz/Onix/Pinsir!

Irishbrick · 24-09-2016 06:59PM

Ah Christ second ten K in a row with jynx, I'm .03 from next ten K, and I'm dreading it! Got a Kabuto from a lure todaybamd a dewdong, never seen a dewdong in wild before!
And Tenger, you're a legend! Anything you're crying out for... That I may have (re the swap for tauros)

Diemos · 24-09-2016 07:04PM

Another damn Jolteon....I mean I like Jolteon but still.
7 Jolteon
2 Flareon
And 1 measly Vaporeon.

You've clearly never seen Mrs Diemos tackle a gym.
She thinks dodge is a car brand, nothing more.

When the second one appears with the same move set......take a deep breath and go for a walk.

Did a long-awaited lucky egg evolution today and added Dewgong, Poliwrath, Dodrio, Exeggutor, Wigglytuff, Jolteon, Marowak, Ivysaur, Nidoking and Vileplume to the Pokedex. Also ground through all the Pidgeys, Rattatas etc. that I've been saving up for the past few months. I'm so pleased with my new cleaned-up collection! Back down to one of each mon and it looks so pretty. I was getting tired of seeing the endless pages of Pidgeys, Drowzees etc. that I was saving up for the big evolution session. 118 in the Pokedex now.

I've also gone through each mon and favourited all the ones with the best Appraisals and added an asterisk to the names of the ones with the best movesets.

No, there is no better way I could have spent my Saturday.

Yeah 2 out of 3 of my Gyarados' have Twister and the other has Dragon Pulse

Rsaeire · 24-09-2016 10:58PM

The new feature that tells you what location your Pokemon was caught in is pretty crap. I installed the update about half an hour ago and most of my 'mon say "County Dublin" with a few "Meath" thrown into the mix, even though I've been nowhere near Meath. Hopefully they make it more accurate in a future update because as of now... it's crap!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they have the full GPS coordinates and the original version showed a little map of the area. It doesn't even have to be part of the main pokemon screen, but having an extra button to pop up the map would be nice.

AMGer · 24-09-2016 11:59PM

Same here, caught in Kilkenny for most of my recent catches despite being most definitely being caught in Waterford
