PokeVenting #2

[upanddisappear]

Today was supposed to be MY poke day, the best day I'd have to walk walk walk those eggs for the extra xp. But HEATWAVE!

How is the event going for everyone?

Finally got a Piloswine and a Typhlosion! Caught two more Lapras. Used 2 lucky eggs while egg-hatching and mon-catching - much more fun than spending half-hour evolving Pidgeys and Ekanses.

So, it's all good :) Just worried about the gyms... I guess I still have time to collect my 100 coins once more, but afterwards, it starts from scratch again :(

[upanddisappear]

Yay! I was also able to evolve to piloswine and typhosion!

Haven't seen any lapras. Ever. Hoping to get one from an egg someday.

I had a lucky egg from my last level up. But I accidentally deleted it 😢

[catness]

Oh noooooooo... deleting a lucky egg is so sad :( I hope you get some more soon!

Once I accidentally transferred a nearly perfect Bellsprout, and kicked myself for it for days...

I've made so many mistakes with this game. And I still look back and smh at myself.

Yeah, too dang hot and humid around here - I've been going out walking in the evening after dinner but I *still* get sticky from the humidity.

Fortunately I've gotten most of what I wanted from the event, including saving up a bunch of extra Swinub candy for the eventual further evo in Gen4. Could still use a few more Sneasel for its Gen4 though, and of course hatching more eggs at 5x XP would sure be nice.

Also OMG @ people collecting 100 coins/day from gyms, that sounds so luxurious. It's a good day for me if I can get 20 or 30, and that all goes straight back out to incubators. Collected for today, I suppose I'll see if I can be on a few at the end of the night and collect in the morning if they haven't gone offline yet. Latest word on that is "probably sometime during PDT work hours" so who knows.

[upanddisappear]

I have too, really, so I have nothing to complain about. I just wanted all that extra xp to help me get closer to 30. I caught all the swinub and sneasel I could.

Oh, I just recently started to get 100 coins per day more-or-less reliably, and I had worked so hard for it for months... leveling up high-level gyms at every opportunity, and retaking the competitors' gyms until they gave up on them. (And I still have to make rounds every day, to retake 3-4 neighborhood gyms which frequently change ownership.) I play alone, so I don't have the benefit of teamwork.

But I understand that most of the gyms are stagnating, and newer players also need a chance, it's only fair. Oh well..

[kirin]

Heh, fair enough! If you're putting in that much work you deserve the rewards. I've only got a couple gyms close by that I can take reliably, and while there's a cluster of several more in town nearby, more often than not they're all Lv9+ Mystic, and no way to I have time to take those down by myself. If I'm lucky I may happen by a few others slightly more out of the way that are often take-able (or prestige-able if they happen to be my team) but of course they require driving, and they usually still turn back over in a day or two.

Cold but clear here, which is great for walking. There's not usually many fire Pokemon where I live (some ice, though), so it's really exciting to see them around. I've managed to evolve a Cyndaquil to a Quilava, and I'm almost to a Charizard.

I'm looking forward to the changes to the gyms. There's only one gym in my town, which I have a fair chance at, but if I go to other towns I can't sit there all day working on level 10 gyms full of 3000+ mons when my highest is 2300!

[upanddisappear]

Ahhh, sounds like heaven! I'm glad your weather is good for you.

I've got enough candy for a Typhlosion and a half, but haven't caught any Quilava that are 90% or higher yet; I've gotten forty-five so far, and they're all been in the 80%s or less.

On the plus side, I did finally get my gold Kindler medal, enough candy for a Charizard, more Stardust than I know what to do with, and no fewer than three 90% Houndour, one of which I've even managed to evolve. I'm just slightly bummed about how long it's taking to get that 90% Quilava.

I'm also up to eight Lapras, most of which I am sitting on in anticipation of trading becoming a thing, and only one of which is below 80%.

Still no gold Skier medal yet, but Swinub are fairly common around here even without the event.

I do also wish that Sneasel were more common; my highest is still only in the 80%s, and I'm almost exactly as many Dark types away from the gold Delinquent medal as I am Ice types from the gold Skier medal. Plus I want a 90% of each gender, since they've got a fairly noticeable difference.
