I went with an ultra ball and berry every time. It was also so far away, I missed with the ultra ball quite a few times. I used up a total of 18 ultra balls and many berries in catching it.

Oh, I've been there with Dragonite... at least you caught yours!

Candela September 21st, 2016 8:49 PM

I like a good challenge!

QUESTION OF THE DAY

Do you have any goals other than completing the PokéDex?


Phoenixstarz September 21st, 2016 11:10 PM

I intended to build a good team but with gyms being so easy to take down I stopped bothering so much with that, I still put a bit of thought into it for when PvP battles come in but mainly I'm concentrating on my pokedex, I'm aiming to get them all before everyone I know locally. It's definitely going to be close and could come down to lucky hatches/spawnings I'm at 137 and I know people on 129

Poké Bean September 22nd, 2016 12:12 PM

What is the number one Pokémon you're trying to catch right now and how are you handling the challenge?
Pikachu - Hoping to visit a park at the weekend where it apparently spawns a lot! Fingers crossed!

If you could add one feature to Pokémon GO, what would it be and why?
Trading or gifting items! I'm always so short but my brother has to delete so many every day so it would be perfect if he could give them to me instead!

How much time do you think you've spent playing so far?
Ooh I dread to think! Though it's pretty much down to just a few hours a week now if that.

What is your go-to place to search for new Pokémon?
The university is my favourite place for GOing! Can be a lot of the same but quite often new ones will pop up! The park in town is another great place! Other places have been good but not easy to get to regularly.

Do you have your own routines or habits? For instance, do your plan out specific routes to take each day?
Nah just take it as it comes really! If visiting my favourite places though I usually follow the sameish route and sit in the same spots when putting lures on and taking on gyms!

What Pokémon gave you the hardest time when you tried to catch it?
Probably my first Mr. Mime encounter, he was tricksy but got him in the end!

Do you have any goals other than completing the PokéDex?
Collecting all the Pokémon is my main goal but I like to get new medals too!

Very true, I am extremely thankful and lucky to have caught it before it ran!

This is also my goal. I'm still looking for any pokemon I don't have if they pop up of course, but I want all my fully evolved pokemon to be at a high IV and CP. I was looking for >90% IV, but I think I may have to lower that to >80% IV. I would love to be able to take down gyms with any pokemon not just the traditional Dragonite, Vaporeon, Arcanine.

Blanche September 22nd, 2016 8:19 PM

It appears many people are working on building strong teams...

QUESTION OF THE DAY

Which Pokémon do you use for Gym battles?


Phoenixstarz September 23rd, 2016 5:43 AM

Lapras, Vaporeon, Arcanine, Blastoise and Gyarados. those are the ones ive got over 2000CP atm, i desperately want more Grimer candy to get Muk up to that level as well

UltimateUmbreon September 23rd, 2016 11:02 AM

Mine are mostly Vaporeon (I have 5 at ~ 2000 CP or above), Arcanine, Slowbro and Dragonite. Powered up my Jolteon today to take on a mostly water gym, so that will be added to the list. I always like to throw in someone different too, like a Nidoking, Pinsir, etc. Using the same pokemon every time gets boring.

Poké Bean September 23rd, 2016 11:28 AM

Which Pokémon do you use for Gym battles?

Golduck and Hypno are my highest CP so favour them mostly but Seaking, Golbat, Kingler, Fearow and Pidgeot get a look in too. I look forward to getting more variety though!

Lycanroc September 23rd, 2016 12:22 PM

For Gym battles, I mainly use my Vaporeon because even though it's CP isn't good, it's the best I have right now. So yeah, I don't have much success in Gyms. Gotta get me some more of that Stardust.

VisualJae September 23rd, 2016 9:52 PM

I have my S and A-tier Pokémon for most situations... stuff you see in most gyms. Dragonite, Snorlax, Lapras, Vaporeon. Boring!

But I'm trying to work on some high IV Pokémon you see less often. I'm well over 100 Charmander and Jigglypuff candy because one of my more immediate goals is to rock an end-game Charizard and Wigglytuff. Just because :P

S­park September 23rd, 2016 9:55 PM

Whoa, looks like some of you are making real progress on the Gym front! Here's a question I've been really curious about.

QUESTION OF THE DAY

What's the oldest Pokémon you currently own? Is it your original starter you got from Professor Willow? Or something else?


HyperMorian September 23rd, 2016 10:15 PM

"What's the oldest Pokémon you currently own? Is it your original starter you got from Professor Willow? Or something else?"

For me, it would be the Original Starter Bulbasaur from the start of the game; though shamelessly downloading the app through apk. as the game comes first in Australia despite not fully released at that time gave me a vibe of guilt. :/

This Bulbasaur also will never be released, ever.

Poké Bean September 23rd, 2016 11:52 PM

It's surprising how quickly that Stardust can disappear ain't it!
I like seeing different Pokémon left at Gyms too!

What's the oldest Pokémon you currently own? Is it your original starter you got from Professor Willow? Or something else?

Yeah my oldest is my starter too though mine's a Squirtle. He's favourited and shall never be deleted or evolved either, he's my little baby! :)

Phoenixstarz September 24th, 2016 12:01 AM

Vaporeon, which ive had since 9th July. i have kept feeding it stardust and it currently sits at 2083CP
i definately regret transferring my original Charmander though :(

Candela September 24th, 2016 8:27 PM

Aw, yeah, there's definitely sentimental value in your first Pokémon!

There's been lots of updates to Pokémon GO so far, with many new features. But so far none have introduced any new items!

QUESTION OF THE DAY

If you could introduce a new item to the game, what would it be? What will it do?


UltimateUmbreon September 25th, 2016 3:52 PM

I would really love an item that produces more stardust somehow. Stardust runs out so quickly when powering up pokemon and is so difficult to restore that it would be great to have an item that can help restore it more quickly. I haven't given it TOO much thought, but three preliminary ideas I have are:

1. Include double stardust when using a lucky egg. Instead of just doubling XP, double the stardust collected during the time of a lucky egg.

2. Allow your buddy to pick up candies and/or stardust. Maybe stardust is randomly found by your buddy instead of candy? I know that they have said on random occasions your buddy might find some other items, but I have not experienced that thus far.

3. A timed item that grants you a certain amount of stardust for each km walked. So maybe for 15 minutes you get 1000 stardust for very kilometer walked? Obviously the numbers could be tweaked but that would be my new item idea.

Blanche September 26th, 2016 5:26 AM

Here's a broad question...

QUESTION OF THE DAY

What aspect of the game do you want to see improved immediately?


Kotone September 26th, 2016 8:46 AM

I want them to add more pokemon. I feel like I've almost caught everything. Also I want them to fix the tracking.

S­park September 27th, 2016 6:55 AM

My turn again! This gets asked quite a lot, but most people keep it within their own groups.

QUESTION OF THE DAY

Between Instinct, Mystic, and Valor, how did you decide on which team to join?


Kotone September 27th, 2016 8:52 AM

I wanted to join team instinct because I like zapdos, but my boyfriend wanted valor. So I am on valor haha.

UltimateUmbreon September 27th, 2016 10:16 AM

What aspect of the game do you want to see improved immediately?

I'm a day late, but I have strong feelings about this one: gyms. It's really frustrating because where I live all the gyms are Mystic, save 2, and they've all been trained up to level 8-10. I go battle gyms but I don't have the time or patience to defeat a gym 8-10 times in order to take it over. And even if I were to do that, due to the lack of Valor members (applies to Instinct too for that matter), the gym I took over would probably be defeated within 30 minutes (not even exaggerating. It makes it feel almost pointless to take on gyms. I'd love a fix to that.

How did you decide which team to join?

Honestly, I chose 100% randomly. Luckily most of my friends also ended up choosing valor, so it all worked out.

VisualJae September 28th, 2016 3:22 AM

I definitely agree with Gyms needing improvement. Then again, I don't want them to rip off too much combat mechanics from the core series games. We'll have to see just how creative they can get.

Candela September 28th, 2016 3:27 AM

Speaking of Gyms...!

QUESTION OF THE DAY

What's the longest time you've controlled a Gym? Tell us how you did it.
