Caught a shit load of pokemon, most of which I've never even heard of so I'm assuming they've added more to the game? yes, 80 new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I quickly ran out of balls always keep a couple of hundred balls spare. dump potions, revives, etc as you can pick them up easily when you need them.

I had over a hundred before I started yesterday, but there were so many pokemon and so few pokestops that I used them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Game is still "fun" but I never watched the majority of Gen 2 when pokemon was airing, so I am catching these things just to catch them. I think a lot of the fun was catching the pokemon I grew up with, but now it seems more of a grind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPower_14 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I only need a few more pokemon before i've caught everything available in Australia from Gen 1, so having Gen 2 Pokemon to catch in the mean time makes it a lot more enjoyable. It was a sorely needed update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nostalgia has gone from recognising the Pokémon (I used to have the Silver Gameboy game but don't seem to remember many of the new ones) but it has made this game much more fun again. I'd 'completed' it a couple of weeks ago by catching all the available Pokémon so it's nice to have so many new ones to go at! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I could kick myself the amount of errors I've made looking back. Like powering up my Chansey to full CP, using all the candies. I would have had enough to evolve to Blissey on day 1. Or evolving about 4 poliwraths, I'm now 70+ candies away from Politoed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wish I caught more chansey during the valentine's event. I also regret evolving pokemon like slowpoke, horsea, etc just to get the exp. Now I am stuck trying to find those pokemon which would've been easy a week ago, but they are rare now considering there are a lot more pokemon in the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moment of silence for your loss. But the valentines event was really good for Chanseys. I only ended up catching a few of them. A lot spawned, but they were a pain to catch so I only went for the ones with either really low CP, or the really high CP ones. It did help me get a 2000+ CP blissey, but I am a ways away from maxing her out sadly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPower_14 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Cracked 200 in my Pokedex yesterday by upgrading a Teddiursa. Just need a dewgong, weezing and gyrados and i'll be finished with the available pokemon in Australia from gen 1. I have 47 Seel candies with him as my buddy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPower_14 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I was talking with a mate at work who plays and thinking about how they should handle legendaries. Maybe every 100km you walk a Legendary will spawn for you and you've got the opportunity to catch it, but it's difficult to catch and might run away. Or maybe if you get 50 days of consecutive pokestops or catches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted February 27, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted February 27, 2017 What does the buddy thing do? I stuck a bulbasaur as my buddy just to see what happened. As far as I can tell, nothing did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 It's kind of ridiculous that they haven't released legendary pokemon or Mew/mewtwo yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game is already on its dying legs if you haven't noticed. I'd say for every 10 people who downloaded the game and played at launch, only 1 plays now. This is going off my friend group, and what I see on reddit/facebook. A lot of people lost interest a while ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPower_14 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I reckon they waited a bit too long to release the 2nd generation. Releasing the legendaries is something that might lure back people who had given up, then ideally they'll keep playing to catch the gen 2 pokemon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 It's another grind game with only the nostalgia value keeping it going. Some people will still play it until they've found them all. But I imagine the playing numbers are around 2% of the initial download base. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
