I’m getting there slowly but surely

This is how my pokodex is coming along:

My pokedex is relatively disappointing, since I was busy working when the game was released, so all my friends have a huge lead on me. Though I must say things are getting better fast, since my university’s campus has more than 10 pokestops, and quite a lot decent pokemon.

Dude, you’re not catching them all

Things have gotten better in the game overall. Sadly, with the last nest migration my house is no longer a spawn point.

Doing better than me, although I only have one pokestop and gym within 3 miles of my house...

Terribly.

Theres nothing at all to catch near where I live so its slowed down a bit. Its a shame they basically lock everything to fixed areas of interest so playing while wandering around is pretty pointless. It makes sense that they want you to see interesting stuff but it also makes the game useless for a lot of people that are over 10 miles away from anything that pokemon go works at.

My dex is missing a lot of stuff because I have not evolved much. The ones I saw but didn’t catch were a Gyrados, Dragonite and a Hypno.

I just pretty much hoard candy until a really great Pokémon comes along. PokeGenie is a great iOS app for checking stats (IVs).

Example of said hoarding:

This is my best Magikarp but I’m waiting for a couple more 90% and up.

Dang. That’s a lot of magikarps. I don’t actually go out of my way to play often. Most of it is while I work

Yeah. It is annoying for people outside of densely populated areas. Luckily I can play while I work around town. I rarely have time to go out and play just to play. When I do, I usually strike out. Have you tried any scanners? I have recently when something pops up on nearby but I can’t track it down.

If I couldn’t play while I work I’d probably be at 30/151. There’s one stop within walking distance of my house. No gyms that you don’t have to drive to. My house used to be a spawn point but since the last migration, it isn’t anymore.

Na never tried scanners. Back where I used to live there was a spot only 2 miles from my house that was excellent for catching stuff, so I was never bothered about trying much else. Now theres just nothing about. Shame because i was really enjoying the game itself.

Same, my main job at the office is in between 3 pokestops which I can hit while sitting at my desk. My weekend job is on a boat which stays docked at the pier for around 5 hours and it is also a pokestop. I racked up all those Magikarp from August until now at the boat job.

Also since the boat moves slow I can also get distance on my eggs and buddy so I hatch about 6 eggs a shift 2/5 km.

I’m at 109. I went on vacation for 3 weeks to a place with no internet so that didn’t help.

I’ll trade no internet for a 3 week vacation

Nice. On my little weekend vacation a while back I didn’t get to play much but it was on the coast so I caught more magikarp there than anywhere else.

I’m embarrassed about how lame my pokedex is but my top ones are ok

Unless you live in San Francisco this game is all about time put into it

I do realize this but I don’t have the time to go downtown where there’s pokemon actually worth catching5

Yeah. I rarely get to go to the hot spots. I’m all over town so sometimes I just get lucky. Egg hatching has helped a lot.

My game keeps glitching so when I try to look at my Pokedex it opens Tips. But I’m up to 83 now, last addition was a wild Seaking. My top nin ATM.

No where that I frequent has anything nearby.

Nice. Took me forever to find a magmar. Then out of no where I hatched 2 within a couple days of each other and caught one wild a few days later. Just recently got enough candy for a hypno.

My house was a spawn point which was convenient. After the last spawn shuffle last week it isn’t anymore. Only have seen pidgeys and weedles since

Hypno was one of the first evolutions I got. Drowzee are pretty common around me. I’ve actually evolve like four of them. That Magmar was an egg hatch for me also. I’ve got six 5km eggs and a 10k that’ll hatch tomorrow so hopefully that’ll ad some more to the Pokedex. Also I’ve heard that if you use an insense in an area with little traffic where there normally would be any spons you’ll get more rare Pokémon so I’m going to go out in the boonies and true that tomorrow.

Your jobs are like a Pokémon dream come true. I’m just pissed because there are two churches within a block from my house and neither of them are Pokestops.

The way leveling works even things out too. a beginner can get up to level 20 pretty quick but they guy that’s been playing since July is going to take awhile to get from 25 to 26.

I’ve heard that too but haven’t had any luck with it. Apparently I didn’t go out far enough.

Well, my work has “unlimited” vacation. That generally means none. Or it means, work when you get back to the hotel. We had a little public relations emergency while I was gone that did wonders for my fellow vacationers patience.

I only have 134 :( Nearly as many as you, but I play it a lot . I run a lot, and I’ve started running in specific places to get specific Pokemon. I catch them on my work lunch breaks in the city, and before/after work. These days I have a tracker I run as often as I can to track certain Pokemon. I crack egg after egg after egg to no avail.

But Pikachu/Kabuto/Omanyte/Charmander are so damn rare! I’ve never seen a Lapras or Snorlax in any form, despite the fact that everyone in the damn game seems to have them.

At least there’s the buddy system now - you don’t actually have to see Pokemon to be able to evolve them (eventually).

Most of the really rare ones I hatched.

4 Lapras. A snorlax (caught one shortly after). Porygon. Omanyte. Etc.

the worst is hatching an eevee. If it weren’t for eggs I’d only have about 12 charmander candies.

Nauraushaun > Funktheduck 10/02/2016 at 22:34

I’m like you, except without all the good hatching. I do only have a handfull of Charmander candies :(

My last 10km was an Eevee, and I only see 10kms once in a blue moon despite constant travelling. I’ve “walked” 60km since the buddy system was released!

I have managed to hatch an Aerodactyl, those are pretty hard to find.
