    rileysowner - my son tells me Ditto was not just for the Thanksgiving bonus and it hides as pidgies, weedles, and zubats. I've caught one but he hasn't. We are in a busy Pokémon town, though.

    Broomstick_Boo - is Majikarp your buddy?

    That is correct about the Ditto. They are still around, but pretty rare, and it requires catching a lot of pidgies, weedles, and zubats to find one.

    I've caught 4 dittos.

    @Broomstick_Boo I evolved a magikarp back in October with the Halloween special. 4 candies for a km, and 12 I think when you caught them, 20+ when you hatched one. I walked the pier with a lucky egg and incense to get them for three days plus walked 4-5 miles a day everyday during the special. #noregrets :smiley:

    Maybe they'll be another special soon. Or you can go "fishing" too.


    For everyone,
    What Pokémon do you want to catch? Battle strategy? Favorite Pokemon to battle with?


    Idk what I wanna catch. Right now it seems they are stingy with the balls. So everything is a pidgy since they evolve with only 12 candies. Points points points! I wouldn't mind finding some dratinis. I've only hatched one. Never seen one in the wild.

    I heard that's second gen might be out this week.

    Caught a Dratini in the wild about a month of so back. Have not hatched one though.

    I don't know what I would like to get at this point. I am working on getting enough candies to evolve a pretty good Oddish to a Vileplume. At the moment my favorite battle pokemon is a vaporeon and my many Gastlies.

    Yes! The ditto is anything you want it to be! Haha! I'd like it to do a sweet transvestite impression. (Tim Curry Rocky horror picture show). :kissing_closed_eyes::smiley:


    Eta- although, I guess they all are nude. No clothes on any of the pocket monsters.

    New stuff? I didn't know. I'm at Level 26

    I'm guessing it is because of the holidays. I got a Ditto last week. I also caught a Grimer the other week. And because of all the additional Pokémon around, I've caught a ton more ...and was able to evolve a golem and a magneton, which got me up to level 27 FINALLY!!!

    And I even play less than I once did. The updates with streak points make it easier!

    Annoying. Seems as though all the neighbours playing this game need to refuel in my garage .... Uuugh!

    No, he isn't. Been evolving Mankey to Primeape, Charmander to Charmeleon and Ekans to Arbok.
    I popped to the local pond two weeks ago in the hopes of a good haul- used incense and a lure and caught a grand total of one Magikarp! :weary:

    I'm only level 23. I feel so far behind everyone else!

    It's interesting seeing what everyone else is finding rare. I got my Magikarp evolved after two long walks around the lake. I still haven't evolved a Growlithe, Jigglypuff, Clefairy... Haven't seen a Snorlax. I caught my first Rhyhorn in Arizona but haven't seen one back here, I bet I have to walk my way to a Rhydon. Geodudes have started showing up more but I'm really far away from a Golem. Ekans are everywhere here and my husband hates it, snakes freak him out.

    Voltorbs and Magnemites are things I don't see around at all, but I played in the Oakland airport once and caught about 40 of both. It was insane, they were everywhere. Traveling is the only reason I'm doing decently at this game...

    My buddies have been Vulpix, Ponyta, Bulbasaur, and now Charmander.

    yes! I saw my first ever Dragonair last night. After many ultra balls, berries, and backing out and starting again I got her! Only a 500 but I am still so happy!

    Caught my first Dratini on the way to work. It's only CP 10, though :unamused:

    Where are you from and what were common in the area you found the Dratini?

    I'm in England., South London. It randomly showed up on my train journey to work. :smile:

    Interesting. My app has been a bit glitchy lately- keeps chucking me out of the game. Hope the update sorts the problem out. Unless it's my phone...

    Have they said what to expect from it?

    Just evolved Growlithe to Arcanine. :smiley:

    When they changed the passenger access in the car it really makes it lame, that I cant even do it when someone else is driving. Not to mention they really need to tone down the walking distance for your buddy or reward you with more candy if you are walking 3 and 5km.

    Why? The calculation is fairly simple - half of the distance of the egg it takes to spawn the pokemon. I don't mind that distance at all After all When I am walking I am and walking an egg and collecting candy. The way I see it every step now counts double.
    TBH I would find it dull if they would make it any easier to get what you want.

    I saw that there was a leak about Pokemon Go & Starbucks that is supposed to start tomorrow. Supposedly, all starbucks will be becoming pokestops/gyms and Starbucks will have a special Pokemon themed frappuccino. I can't wait to see if this is true.

    It definitely won't be the 8th, going by this tweet: https://embed.gyazo.com/4ea308e3753d1f2bda6e3f5ec97e3730.png

    It probably won't be the 12th either, they'll just release details then. I suspect it'll be a week or so after, or around Christmas (Christmas Eve, Christmas Day or Boxing Day). Or possibly New Years. Worth baring in mind too that it's not necessarily gen 2, it might be the legendaries.

    "Games industry analysts are getting somewhat peevish at the continued perception that Pokemon GO's a dead fad. Dead fads, after all, don't keep making cash hand over fist for their company."

    I caught some in Key Largo, Florida. Not a lot - it was mostly psyducks, Magikarp, and tentacruel.
