Day 11/365: Random PokéGo Notes

[nanila]

Screencap of a 10 km egg with 6.66 km walked, because it amused me. Pokéegg of the Beast \m/

• On my most recent trip to London, I acquired no less than six - six! - 10 km eggs. That is more 10 km eggs than I'd had in the preceding eight months. This is great because I was becoming bored with lacklustre outputs from a seemingly endless succession of 5 km eggs.
  
• One of those 10 km eggs yielded a Slakoth. I have seen the Slaking in the gyms, and I very much want one, because it is soooo chillaxed.
  
• I have caught 14 Wailmers. Through the liberal appplication of Pinap berries, I'm now up to 66 out of the 400 candies needed for evolution.
  
• My Snorlax spent 13 days, 5 hours and 54 minutes in that rural Norfolk gym before getting booted out. It wasn't quite enough to achieve my first gold gym badge, but I'm not complaining.
  
• I'm very close to my gold walking badge. Less than 10 km to go.
  
• After missing catching one outside work months and months ago, a Miltank hatched out of one of those aforementioned 10 km eggs. I am glad to fill the hole in my Pokédex, but wow that is one, uh, glandular, Pokémon, and it's not afraid to flaunt it.

I haven't seen a 10 km egg in aaaaaaaaages. These days it seems like I have to be lucky to get even a 2 km one. The other day a shellder came out of my 5 km egg and it was very meh. I remember when hatching an egg was exciting. I wish they would remove some of the gen1 pokemons from eggs, or at least make them less common than the others.

I've caught one slakoth, but 400 wailmer candies, nooooooooo! I've only ever even SEEN the one I've got. That's gonna be a loooong walk.

Agreed! We don't really need Poliwags from 5 km eggs any more, tyvm.

Yep, even at 1 km per candy that is a verrrry long walk. Here's hoping there's an Event soon that cuts the distance per candy.

Yay, for badge progress!

I caught one very small and sleepy Slakoth during the recent event and have not seen any on my tracker since. *eyes currently incubating 10K egg hopefully*

I'm going to be doing a lot of walking to get enough candy to evolve some of the new Gen 3 Pokémon...

[nanila]

Aww, tiiiiiny Slakoth. <3

I'm still doggedly trying to finish off my Kadabra evolution as it is the only evolvable Gen 1 Pokémon that I have. But once I do, I'll start walking the Gen 2/3s.

Don't tell me -- it was two weeks for the gym medal, right?

[nanila]

Heh, it's only a little over halfway to gold, so I guess it's around a month to get to gold if you're just sitting in the gym? I didn't feed it many berries, which would also have helped.

[omnipotent]

LMAO, a Miltank! My friends and I used to poke fun at Miltank all the time. I remember in Gold/Silver/Crystal, you could buy an item called Moomoo Milk.

[nanila]

Moomoo Milk. I...I wonder how they're going to bring that into Pokégo. Does Miltank evolve? Maybe you'd need it for that.

[silveradept]

Miltank is indeed extremely glandular. And I would also appreciate eggs now preferring the latest generations for hatching, as it is not all that fun to hatch a 5km egg and get, say, a Venonat.

[nanila]

Agreed on both counts. Once again I have a satchel full of 5 km eggs and I am not thrilled. :/

[silveradept]

The trickiest business of it is the part where I can only get an incubator every three days, if I'm lucky to max out my coins each day. It would take a month to get enough coins to have all the incubators running at once, and that still means I have to clear out all the 5km eggs anyway. Only to have them all come back with equally uninteresting things inside.

[ayebydan]

Omg Miltank's teet bouncing gives me life!
