    QUESTION OF THE DAY

    What is the number one Pokémon you're trying to catch right now and how are you handling the challenge?

     
     
    Chansey, it's the only Pokemon I need for pokedex that I can't evolve using buddy system.
    To achieve this goal I am running around (actually running for miles and miles) to hatch 10k eggs still no luck so far

    That's brutal. That was like me with Aerodactyl. You never know, though. I would spend time around as many lures as possible and hope for some sweet luck.

    Did you know Chansey's Japanese name is literally "Lucky?" >_>

    i know a spot where Chansey has been seen a few times in my nearest city but i dont get much chance to actually get up there. im just hoping that one random 10k egg gives me a chansey ive really stepped up with getting distance since the buddy system update ive done 766km in total and 47k of that is since Tuesday evening
     
    Grimer and Muk. Never seen one. Never hatched one. Hatching all my 5k eggs in the hopes of hatching one. Going to NY this weekend and I'm going to hunt nonstop til I get that Grimer!

    Good luck with that Chansey, keep hatching eggs and check for it at all times. I found my wild Chansey randomly at work where there were no pokestops, lures, or anything rare.
     
    despite living near a waste recycling plant i expected to see loads of Grimer but i had to get mine from 5k eggs, ive finally got a high IV muk but its low CP atm, will be worth getting candy for though as Muk is awesome

    I do love Muk, its personality in the anime was so awesome. I want a muk to attack me like it did Prof. Oak.

    Believe it or not, Grimer and Muk are rarer than Dragonite, Snorlax and the like in NYC. It's so odd. I've gotten lucky by being in the right place at the right time, but the Grimer line is definitely something you want to keep an eye on here.

    Wasn't there something about Niantic decreasing the spawn rate of Grimer and Muk because they were causing some sort of glitch or virus in the game? If so, that wouldn't surprise me that they are so rare.
     
    It is certainly enlightening to hear about everyone's goals.

    QUESTION OF THE DAY

    If you could add one feature to Pokémon GO, what would it be and why?

     
     
    There are a lot of features I would love to see but if I had to pick one then it would have to be Gen II, reasons being I'm at 135/142 at the moment so it's very rare I find something I need and I'm missing that feeling of "I need to run around until I find that new Pokemon".
    Also the longer it takes for gen II to come in will likely mean a longer wait until later generations and I really want Gen IV (I really liked the evolutions of Gen I Pokemon like magmortar, electivire, rhyperior etc) so if they only add each generation once a year then I've got a long wait until then but if it's every 6 months then I could have my Magmortar by next Christmas.
     
    Whoa, it's late here!

    QUESTION OF THE DAY

    How much time do you think you've spent playing so far?

     
     
    Hmmm interesting question probably a lot more than I would like to admit to, 2 1/2months about 3-4 hours a day (some of that walking to and from where I would have gone anyway) but usually a 2 hour round trip to town and back to get pokestops and take gyms
    Probably about 300 hrs total so far
     
    Hmmm. Good question. Probably close to 100 hours if I had to guess. I don't play it as much anymore, I much prefer the traditional games.

    I don't even want to think about the hours I've sunk into this game already.

    I try not to compare this game to the core series games. It's a good thing they're two different animals, which is why I hope they take a more innovative approach to things we love in the core series games and adjust them to fit GO rather than provide watered down versions.

    *cough* combat system.

    QUESTION OF THE DAY

    What is your go-to place to search for new Pokémon?

     
     
    I go to my local city which is Bristol and the rich area is Clifton and apparently there was loads of ingress players there so there is pokestops on almost every street. There is also a zoo with 10 pokestops in (where I got my dragonite) I also found a kabutops and aerodactyl up near there. At the bottom of Clifton is the triangle where Chansey have apparently been spotted so that's where my focus is right now.
    Only problem is that entire area is a massive hill so exhausting to be running around it for too long
     
    Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of places where pokemon spawn around me either, and when they do, they're the common pokemon that appear so frequently, I am sick of even seeing them spawn.

    If I had to choose a go to, it probably would be right outside my apartment. It's been VERY rare, but I have seen a squirtle, pikachu, lapras and so I just keep an eye out on my nearby list while at home so I can catch anything interesting that spawns. In the meantime, I've been focusing on just collecting pokecoins by taking over gyms and in doing so I walk enough to hatch plenty of eggs and collect buddy candies, so I feel like it's a good system for what I have available.
     
    In NYC, it's a toss-up between Central Park and Battery Park for me. Central Park is arguably one of the most infamous locations for Pokémon catching as you can literally complete the entire North American Dex by just being there day in and day out... with some luck, of course.

    I would lean toward Battery Park simply because of how comfortable it is there. Plus the periodic Dratini spawns there certainly help.
