Starter Pokemon glee

[kaberett]

So I started with Squirtle (... as always), hatched a Charmander in fairly short order then found a place Charmanders like hanging out near work, and last week hatched a Pikachu from a 2km egg.

... Bulbasaur is my second-favourite starter Pokemon and is missing from that list, about which I was very frustrated -- except I'm visiting a friend this week and SAW MY FIRST BULBASAUR just outside their house.

... whereupon I fed it a Razz Berry and threw an Ultra Ball at it and it ran away.

... the second one that appeared in the same spot did a similar thing.

... by the time the third one appeared in the same spot I decided I was probably camped on top of a Bulbasaur spawn point, and so far I have caught four and had another two run away from me, and firmly intend to spend the rest of the week saving up. :D

Bulbasaurs are WEIRDLY difficult to actually CATCH, I've found. I haven't the foggiest clue why. But spawn points are the BEST. XD

[kaberett]

I am not used to CP400 Pokemon routinely running away from a Razz Berry & an Ultra Ball! But I am V GLAD that it is Not Just Me.

[lireavue]

Totally not just you! There's a good walking park in my city that turned into a Bulbasaur nest when the spawnpoints rolled over a week or two ago, whenever that was? And it's a damn good thing the place also has a ton of pokestops to make up for all the pokeballs I was using up.

...now if I could just find where the Charmander nest moved TO.

[recessional]

NO. IF I CAN'T HAVE FIRE LIZARDS NEITHER CAN YOU. *FOLDS ARMS*

[lireavue]

*footstomp* WHY DO WE LIVE IN SUCH WATERY AREAS I WANT MY FIRE LIZARDS AND MY SANDSLASH.

[recessional]

You know it occurs to me also that this is why, despite weedles and pidgeys being as common as the zubats, I hate the zubats more: at least around here the fuckers are even stroppier than Spearows about popping out of the damn ball, per cp.

[kaberett]

I have transferred
the Zubats
that were in
the icebox

[recessional]

Hahahah. (I just transfer them immediately and accumulate the candies anyway.)

It's kind of annoying because in theory I like bats! In theory I would have no problem just endlessly catching bats and making Golbats for XP.

BUT THE FUCKERS ARE REALLY ANNOYING?! AND EAT UP MY BALL SUPPLY WORSE THAN THE FUCKING PIDGEYS.

I am still lacking a Pikachu and this saddens me. There's basically only water Pokemon in Leuven (or in Belgium in general, as far as I can tell) and it was pretty much the same in Dublin. Aaaah.

[recessional]

I have had relatively good luck with 2km eggs for Pikachus, fwiw. (And seen like one in the wild here, so.)

[recessional]

BAH, WHY YOU HAVE MORE BABY FIRE LIZARDS THAN ME. * sulk*

;)

[kaberett]

I have enough to make a medium fire lizard! I WOULD SEND YOU TRIBUTE OF BABY FIRE LIZARDS IF TRADING WERE A THING

I also have SMOL FIRE HORSE about which I am v please, and a Fire Puppy that came out of the egg at CP666 and is therefore, obviously, named Hellhound.

[recessional]

Oh good grief re cp. XD Fire puppy = Growlithe, or something I haven't come across yet?

[kaberett]

Yes! Growlithe. Which the Pokedex describes as a "Puppy Pokemon", so. >_>

[recessional]

fair! I don't think I looked and on reflection altho my first impression is still "punk tiger" given the name "arcanine" that makes sense. XD

[serpentine]

I am still hoping for a Charmander to hatch. I have had no luck despite hatching all my 2km eggs as soon as I can. And good luck with finding fire Pokemon here. We are very watery. The only starter I've seen in the wild is Squirtle with the occasional Wartortle. Though I think I've seen Bulbasaur on the radar.

(I need to find some good areas to hunt in that have rock/ground, fire and lightning Pokemon tbh.)

Bulbasaurs are cranky little buggers! My area is rich in grass Pokemon, so I have had a few of them, but they run away more than anything else!
