Weekend Free-for-All!
Hello, trainers!
It's been a couple weeks since we had a proper free-for-all, so let's catch up! How's the event been treating you? With the nest migration happening a couple days ago, anything interesting pop up near you? Let's chat.

During the previous nest migration, my local park hotspot had become a voltorb nest but I wasn't able to make it out there. Now it's a kabuto nest! But will I be able to get there before the next one happens? I also discovered the local skate park became a squirtle nest. Will I be able to get THERE before the nest migration happens? That said, the Silph Road is full of notes from other trainers giving advice about how to gather squirtles without getting out of your car. LOL But I need a kabutops. I need a blastoise! But I also need whatever voltorb evolves into and that wasn't enough to get me to the park. UGH!
This is so angsty and whiny. Sorry, guys!

Haven't hatched any baby pokemon yet, though. Hopefully in the upcoming week.
I was planning to go downtown and do a ton of eggwalking and gym battling, but we've dropped below -40 again, so that's... not happening, heh. I'm glad that the event will be going on for a while longer.

Santa Pikachus are easier to find than regular Pikachus, so that's adding to my Electric Type caught amount and my Pikachu Fan badge.
The cold is...sorta keeping me inside except for when I have to. However, going outside and walking is something I have to do fairly often as I don't own a car and depend mostly on walking and buses to get anywhere unless a friend or family member drives me. My fingers hate me.

(Now if only I can find an Ekans.)

But, yeah, in the northern hemisphere, this isn't the congenial season for long walks and hikes (even if one can win away time from all the end-of-year activity). :-)

On YouTube, I've seen images of the pokedexes of people who've hatched the other babies; it looks like the same kind of expansion for them: up to the highest species number that they've caught or hatched or seen in a gym.

When I do get out for a good walk, instead of holding my phone openly and watching for pokemon along the way as in the summer and fall, I keep my phone mainly in my pocket, taking it out -- and taking off my gloves -- only at pokestops and gyms. :-)

I've caught two of them so far. There have been others on my Nearby/Sightings, but I haven't reached them in time, or they were in the wrong direction. Ah, well, there are still many days left.
I walked seven miles over the last two days (omg ouch) and hatched a lot of eggs, all 5Ks acquired since the start of this event, but no luck yet with the new mons. Dang it. I'll keep trying, as my body permits, but man, cold ramps up my pain levels so much, it's hard to push through.

I've actually been finding eevee the last few days, so I'm guessing that's because of the event. Maybe one day I'll get enough to evolve them. One daaaaay.
I've been doing a lot of running around because holiday stuff the last week or so, which is good in that I've now got a small cache of pokéballs, but annoying in that I've been so exhausted I haven't been able to try doing any gym battling. I DID manage to finally break 1KCP, though, with my scyther! Hopefully it'll make training/gym takedowns a bit easier, once I have enough energy to go down to one. :3

Also taken way too many pictures of my cats next to holiday Pikachu.
I went for a walk in our first real snow of the season this morning, which was nice and holiday-spirit-inspiring, and just slightly below freezing, and also completely not a thing I would have done last year. I've been making deals with myself about which Pokemon on tracking are worth leaving the house for. 3 poliwag at the stop by the river, yes. Two psyduck and an eevee, nope. Three magikarp, depends on how cold/late it is or whether I remember where I left my gloves last time I came in.
We got hit with the edge of the polar vortex cold snap earlier this week, and that plus the approaching holidays seem to have cut down our already sluggish gym traffic. One of the gyms down the street is routinely level 2 with the free slot just sitting there for hours and hours at a time, no matter which team is holding it, and the gyms in either direction down the street have been s l o w l y leveling up unbothered for 5 days or so now. They were both well into level 7 when I checked this afternoon.
