I’ve been playing/have open Pokemon Go a good bit. Mostly just leave it open in my pocket and pull it out when I hear a sound. Overall life is going well. Hope everyone is happy and healthy.
Reminder I made a groupme chat room if anyone wants to join for the game

I haven’t really played much. And my phone just now decided it didn’t want to work so...... No idea what I’m going to do with that.

Wat dis? My girlfriend is a social worker and would get the kids all riled up when she said she had a level 99 Kakuna and that was the best pokemon.

My fiancee is obsessed with that game. I work in IT so I do my best to stay away from phones and computers when I’m not at work. Getting married in 4 days so I’m getting nothing done at work, days are long at the moment.

My daughter and I went on a ~3.1k walk last night to hatch eggs.

Not nearly as far as you with the pokedex, but I’ve been mostly inside because I’ve been having medical problems since July 2nd. I messed up a previous injury in my shoulder pretty badly, so I've been mostly getting the local Pokemon.

This is the best use of Pokemon Go.

I’ll hopefully be getting data on my IPad today so I can start seriously playing. I borrowed a tablet from a friend so we could get out an play together Sunday, it was awesome, we wondered around town for a good three hours. Caught a high CP Drowsee and a Pidgeot. My next goal is to get up my Kakuna into a Beedrill, and then I'll start working on getting a Kidoking, aka my favorite Pokemon.

My work is too far from the 4 stops and 1 gym that I can see. My house only has 3 stops around it and no gyms, and to hit all three takes a 45 minutes loop.
So...I’m only level 6 and I wish there was more to it, like battles or being able to connect with friends so they can stop sending me screenshots all day.

I am Pokepoor at home, but Pokerich at work. There are 8 stops and two gyms within a ten minute loop from my office.
Now my son has incentive to come to the office with me. :)

Fine, I’ll join the trend! I’m the MalwareTrainer.

I don't have much near my house either but my job has me all over town so that's a plus

Congrats. At least y'all can take walks together and explore the city

That sucks. Hope you get better quickly.
My friend has been spending a ton of time playing and is a higher level than me mostly from gym battles. I have a more diverse pokedex

That’s not bad for a kakuna from what I’ve seen but they go way up there.

New phone of course. It makes total sense to spend hundreds on a new phone just to play a game
![]() 07/12/2016 at 12:38 |

Why.

I have an old phone that would run the game. My S6 was working until this morning when it notified me that it was going to install an update that would take about 15 minutes to complete. That was over 4 hours ago.

Haha I’m only like level 4 so seeing the nearest gym being held by like a 500 cp ‘mon makes me doubt whether I will ever get to the point I can battle a gym.

I love the pokedex aspect. Actually, my neighbor, a father as well, and I went Pokemon hunting yesterday. As long as I ice myself afterwards, I’m usually good, lol. Plus I’m enjoying the fresh air.
Just caught a meowth moments ago too. :)

I been playing myself I wish I had a job where I get to be outisde more.

Thanks! Yeap, the dog benefits too.

I do. It has its benefits but it sucks in the south in the summer

It's not too hard really. It helps if you do it with other people

Married and have a 8 week old, I don’t get out much.

Just played for three hours. Took half my iPads battery, but I walked like 10 Kms. Lol

I'm practically married but my job has me out and about. Perfect excuse to get some exercise. Take the baby on a walk

The battery struggle is real. Turning off AR while catching helps out a bunch I've noticed. I walk about 7 or 8 miles a day on average anyway so I'm just getting the extra perks through the game
![]() 07/12/2016 at 16:14 |
|
But the AR is so much fun, lol. I've played without it and I guess it doesn't really take that much from the game. It is a neat feature though, my brother said his phone doesn't have the ability to use AR, that's gotta be a bummer.

Haha it rained yesterday so I couldn’t. Some bushes taunted me all evening.
![]() 07/12/2016 at 17:43 |

I've taken a couple good pictures while in AR. But during the day when my ability to charge is limited I do what I can. Just got a power bank from Amazon today so it won't be as much of an issue hopefully

Those bushes are a tease more often than not I've found. Once I had 3 rattatas, a pidgey, and a weedle pop out but most of the time it's nothing

Yeah I e got a battery pack thing laying around some where, I’ll have to keep it in my backpack. Here’s my MVPs right now. I've got a 10km egg I'm halfway to hatching can't wait to see what it is.

An office can feel like prison at times I got no windows so that don't help.

I haven’t even seen a lickitung. My current top hitters.

That sucks a lot. I can't do office settings. I can't sit still. Not sure how I made it through school. It's only gotten worse as I've gotten older.
![]() 07/12/2016 at 23:23 |

Maybe it’s only available from an egg, I got it out a 5km egg. I’ve got a 10km that’ll be hatching tomorrow, I’m pretty excited to see what it’ll be. I just hatch another 5km that was just an Oddish, but it gave me enough candies to evolve it, so now my Gloom is my #4 in terms of CP.
I’ve got to be honest thought. I hate the battle mechanic. I wish it was most like the Gameboy games. Either it’s really is just “button mashing” or I was doing it wrong.
![]() 07/13/2016 at 06:39 |

It's button mashing. You can swipe to dodge but it's pretty useless unless you have perfect timing.

I’ve noticed that this morning, hit 3 of them and nothing happened. Are they maybe pokespawns?
![]() 07/13/2016 at 09:34 |
|
Yeah. They're on the map to get you to investigate. Sometimes they're something good. Other times it was just a way to get you to walk a little more. I've gotten to where I ignore them because I've only had them turn out to be worth while once or twice.

Is there actually a difference in the teams you pick at level 5?
![]() 07/13/2016 at 10:57 |
|
Not that I'm aware of. I picked red. My friend picked blue. Haven't noticed any differences.
![]() 07/13/2016 at 11:16 |

I think I’ll pick yellow when I finally get to 5.

I’m loving this game. Currently in a battle to keep the Pokemon Gym around the corner in possession. There’s someone else who lives nearby who keeps stealing it from me. Once I went to take it back and he was standing there. Not a word was said, but we both knew.
