For various reasons, I'm planning to reward myself with a very, very long Pokéwalk when I'm in London this week. Are you still playing? Has anyone just started? All types and levels of squee are welcome in the comments.

- I HATCHED A LICKITUNG! From a 5k egg I picked up in the USA, I think.
- I also hatched another Vulpix. I’m still not in reasonable candy number/walking distance to a Ninetails, especially with several other candidates that are 5 candies or less from their first evolution.
- I popped a Lucky Egg and deployed the Spreadsheet of Evolve. I now have: Kadabra, Abrok, Machoke, Primeape, Gloom, Parasect, Graveler and Rapidash.
- I didn’t even get to the 16 Pidgey evolutions before the Egg ran out, but did them afterward and reached Level 24.
- I maxed out the Kanto medal with the latest set of evolutions. 102 registered in the Pokédex.
- Very close to maxing out the Collector (2000 Pokémon caught!), Scientist and Backpacker medals.
- I now have two Gyarados. So many Magikarp. But it’s worth it because the end result is another beautiful blue dragon. My new dragon is CP1800+ and over 400 kg. Ginormous.
- Most of the way to silver medals in the following, but assume achieving gold is probably not a sustainable goal: Fisherman, Ruin Maniac, Hiker and Hex Maniac.
- That said, every time my interest begins to wane, I have a trip to London and I get hooked all over again.
- I walked my Ponyta for 27 km until I earned a fire unicorn. O gorgeous Rapidash. Such a shame that to stroke your mane and tail is to set one’s hand alight. <333
- Currently walking my Omanyte. Three candies to Oma-something-or-other!
- This past weekend I was walking with Keiki in a Poké-rich location. I came across a gym headed by a CP400-ish Pidgeotto and thought, aha, I can take this before Keiki gets bored in his pushchair, so I’ll just have a quick play. No sooner had I installed my Rainer (Vaporeon) atop the gym than a door nearby opened and a boy rushed out. “Was that you?” he demanded. “Er, yes,” I replied, taken aback. “That was my best Pokémon,” he replied, crestfallen. “Oh, um, sorry,” I said. There was a pause. “Tell you what, I’ll drop a lure on that Pokéstop and maybe you can catch something even better.” I did, and he pootled happily back inside, thereby hopefully mitigating the Adult Woman Accidentally Ruins Child’s Day scenario. WHOOPS

Unfortunately my device is also running an operating system that is no longer compatible with the most recent pair of updates (CyanogenMod not Android) and as of yesterday morning the app won't load for me. Which I REALLY want to fix, because I have enough for my Ninetales, but I have not yet had the cope to sit down and follow instructions... possibly I will look pathetic at one of my young men this evening :-/

Boooo to not being able to load the app and collect your lovely Ninetales. I hope you can get it sorted soon.

It's amazing what difference going to a big city to play Pokemon can make. I just played in Las Vegas for the first time, and it was a blast. (And I thought there were a lot of Pidgeys in my corner of the world!)

Yes, when there are lots of Pokéstops around, with loads of people dropping lures on them, it's a bonanza. I can imagine Las Vegas being a place of Poképlenty!

It really is!

Good idea with the consolation lure too :)
I briefly had enough candy to evolve my Growlithe only I somehow managed to hit the power up buttom instead. At which point my insomniac brain decided that I was going to go for it and power him up all the way. So I'm still wandering along whispering "Good boy" under my breath every time he finds another candy. Nearly there though.
Nearly every gym I pass has a Snorlax sitting on top of it. I have seen the shadow of one in the wild, once, in all the time I have been playing. I am developing a serious case of Snorlax Envy.

Awww, I hope your Growlithe rewards you with a very powerful evolution indeed, after all that!
I really want a Snorlax too. They look so adorably sleepy. I've only seen the shadow of one in the wild and that was in South Ken.

I did miss out on snorlax twice over the weekend though. Saturday evening I was browsing fastpokemap and saw there was one with two minutes left on it well out of my reach. Not even if Husband had driven me could I have got it in time. ("Why do you torture yourself with that page?" says he). Next morning when we went to do our week's shopping, I heard a couple of excited boys telling their mother "we just caught a snorlax right over there, look!!!" And there I was having not brought my phone with me... Argh.

Commiserations on missing out on Snorlax. So frustrating to be so close...

Yes, they become raichu, I believe it's spelled. Can't remember if there's a third stage as well, but I don't think there is. With a nest so close to work, I should have collected enough in no time to get the raichu. :)
