The other thread is right down there! vvv

O well, hi new thread! I had a great Community Day weekend. I kind of obsessed, honestly. I evolved 3 new Meteor Mash Metagrosses (bringing me up to 6), and 4 new Smack Down Tyranitars (bringing me up to 10). I don't need 10, but maybe they will be valuable for trading. I didn't bother making any new Draco Meteor Dragonites because they say Outrage is a tad better, but I did get enough candy to finish maxing out my 98% that I've been working on for a while. Also 2 Frenzy Plant Venusaurs, because I encountered some pretty strong wild Bulbas so why not?

Some highlights: 98% lucky MM Metagross (maxed out), and 98% lucky SD Ttar (3 powerups to go). Shinies: 2 Pikachu, 1 Eevee, 2 Bulbasaur, 5 Charmander (!), 2 Squirtle, 1 Dratini, 2 Larvitar, 3 Chikorita. Plus a hatched shiny Togepi. And I evolved 2 of those Charmanders into 2 more black Charizards, bringing me up to 3. I'm considering evolving my Dratini to have an additional pink Dragonair, my favorite. Even the weather was beautiful, high of 72 and sunny! It was such a good weekend! So much walking, though. My buns hurt.

Just tell me when B&W Pokemon are out. I want to have my Gothorita.

Or not, my diagnosis still includes seeing Pokemon without my smartphone.

Hey Mikachu! We do have Generation V Pokemon, although I have not yet seen Gothita in the wild. They just released a few more (Cubchoo-Beartic, Cryogonal, and a bunch of party-hat Pokemon that will be difficult to release later).

Sorry, everyone. I don't play Pokemon Go, but I just read the title and had to comment... I didn't know dodos had ever had beards!

I heard that someone was arrested in Spain for breaking the quarrantine in order to catch Pokemon.

[Magmar]

yes someone was loitering around catching pokemon and blocking a sidewalk. It's okay to go out and walk / play but you can't hoard space when people need to get from A to B quickly and without making contact.

@Mikachu we have Gothita now!

We just had the Pokemon Go Safari Zone St. Louis event that was postponed. Everyone who kept their ticket could still do the event remotely. I caught a bunch of Unown and Chatot but really wanted more regionals lol. Also I hatched a 100% IV Shinx!

@Mikachu we have Gothita now!

That's awesome!

I currently live in the middle of our village, it's the second floor, so I see pretty much everything what happens from my window. And if I'm not mistaken, I see some youngsters still playing Pokemon Go there.

I work at a Pokestop, so I'm always looking for more people to chuck gifts at. My code is in my signature.

I keep finding shinies. It's exciting, but it makes completing the shiny dex feel a little cheaper overall.

I don't play Go so I can't really comment on how it works in Go but anything that makes catching shinies easier is okay in my book.
