142 Club

After being super patient I decided to risk it and use my lucky egg for my final evolutions on Wednesday afternoon as the storm loomed over us. Luckily I made it in time finishing my countdown just before the power went off for over 14 hours. So it was pretty exciting to say the least.

 

Lil' Boo was the final addition to my Dex <3

So here is what my Pokedex currently looks like:

So now what? Now that I have completed my Pokedex, the next obvious thing is working on my badges which currently look like this:

So, I have a lot of walking, fighting and catching dragons, clams, and electric mice to do. Also I have got to train up some excellent Pokemon if I want to "be the very best like no one ever was". So far I have had two perfect IV mons which hilariously were a Goldeen and an Ekans. The Goldeen tragically rolled a woeful moveset on evolution but the Ekans is okay, for an Arbok I guess, well it could be fractionally better but I probably wont use it for battle anyway. 

Things I learnt during the power outage, 1) tragically after a little while of no power mobile towers also go out, 2) try as hard as you might you can not convince unwilling participants to play murder in the dark, and 3) a lot of people will be having babies in 9 months time (according to the radio, I mean they only mentioned it every five minutes). I was mighty glad of my power packs I had bought as a result of PoGO. So later on Thursday I was able to complete my full list of evolutions and level up to level 27.

Eggs, Eggs, and Exeggcute!

My phone is getting incredibly packed with PokemonGO screen shots so I feel like it's time for a egg hatching update.

Monday:
 
 Also found these gorgeous eggs in real life!

Tuesday:

Wednesday:

Thursday:

Hatched a dratini, which in turn saved me a total of 75km worth of walking with a buddy in the future! Although I currently would need to walk 235km so I'll probably just keep hunting dratini at the beach. 


Friday:

Saturday:

Sunday:  

Hatching a Machop brought me over my total to evolve a Machamp, which left my final Pokemon as Gengar. I was lucky enough to find a couple of Gastlys to get that candy so have switched my buddy back to my Lapras for now. 

Lil' Boo did great! He even came hunting with me (if you zoom in there is a tiny Gastly above the Pokeball) when my app had a glitch.

I am being indecisive about when I will do my final evolutions and complete my Aussie Pokedex. It is totally anticlimactic ending things this way! I will try to be patient so my lucky egg doesn't get wasted, just gotta catch a few more Pidgeys for the party.. so obviously my house which is normally full of them is not. 

A wild Exeggcute appeared!

10K egg reveal!

My plan to collect 10K eggs at the beach was reasonably successful scoring two throughout the day. It has taken me a while to hatch them as it has been raining and there are only so many laps of the house one can do without going insane/being murdered by ones family.

Anyway the first egg was super disappointing.
Yet another Bruce Lee.
I think it might be slightly better than my last one (depending on the IVs).

So I had pretty much given up all hope on scoring anything good from the second one. And low and behold it was amazing af.

Look at my beautiful baby, he's so cute <3
I was pretty happy about this for about an hour until I realised I missed out on catching a wild one cause I was tooling about catching magikarp I don't even need. lol

Sema Sunday Highlights

Before I get started, I must share my Pokemon based insult of the day. My brother said to me, "You look like a Weepinbell". To which I replied horrified, "Oh my [Arceus] NEVER say that. Do you know that people refer to that as 'nature's fleshlight'?". Then we laughed until I cried. 

Yesterday was pretty successful on a whole. Within my first five minutes I found and caught a Lickitung, no running, no innapropriate quid pro quo was exchanged(friend's IRL you may inquire about the "Lickitung proposal" if you wish ^^). 

I finally ate at the Mexican place I had been eyeing off for over a month. So good. Soon I will eat fancy ice cream.

I totally ordered lemon squash, but that was definitely margarita mix. 

Not too bad of a view from the jetty

I hatched a bazillion eggs, and found two 10km eggs (be multiple Lapras).

And I levelled up.

 

A weeks worth of eggs

It has been a pretty non-eventful week (buddy update non withstanding) in the world of PokemonGO for me, it has rained a lot and I was reasonably busy with work. I still managed to hatch a few eggs, although nothing super exciting. I had planned on emptying my eggs to fill up at the beach tomorrow (if that theory rings true) but the rain stopped me from fulfilling that but I'm sure I'll do a bit of walking and hatch the last four if it isn't raining.

That there is some amazing photo editing.
I was pretty happy to get a Chansey as it gave me a pile of candy which means I don't need to buddy up with one in order to power it up. I like leaving Chansey's in gyms as they have such high HP so they are a little annoying.

Anyway over to the more exciting topic of the buddy update. I was finally able to show the world my love for my Lapras, Light by choosing it as my inaugural buddy. 

I got enough candy to power her up then I had to set my sights on my goal of completing my Pokedex and am now walking with my hastily named Gastly, Lil' Boo (I don't feel like a Pokemon without a nickname could be my bud). My theme song for the next zillion KMs will be Walking With a Ghost by Tegan and Sarah (which is thankfully a great tune). 

 

2 months and 2 days later

I've been playing this game over two months now and I'm not sick of it. I usually get sick of these things pretty quickly but surprisingly I haven't. I find it pretty funny when people complain that they have been waiting for months for something or other to happen, when the game hasn't been out all that long and they probably weren't on the beta. I am looking forward to having my Lapras as a buddy though so I can get some candy for it.

Today I got served up some epic burns from my mother that I need some of this:

  






1. Walking down the street she spots a terrifying looking dude in full Pokemon trainer mode, sporting an Ash Ketchum hat and all. She turns to me and says, "hey, there's a friend for you". 

2. I had a Pikachu run away from me, devasted I turn to her and tell her of my woe to which she deadpans, "I would have run away too".

I went for a walk to hatch my 10km eggs this afternoon, as I am kind of interested in the whole theory going around about certain Pokestops spitting out the same Pokemon in their eggs. I'm pretty sure I got my two eggs from the same stop, and my last few had all been Electabuzzes (although I didn't keep track of where I got them). Anyway long story short my eggs did not confirm the theory as I got a Nicki Minaj and an Eevee. I also hatched a bunch of 5km eggs but sadly no Lickitung.

Super Exciting Intro

Hi there, I'm super not into writing intro posts so I hope you aren't getting your hopes up too high. This here blog will be a place for me to ramble about my PokemonGO adventures because I'm pretty sure my family are not interested in my repartees about how I found a terrible Charizard ever again. 

Things you should know:

1. Proud Team Instinct member
2. I like to give my Pokemon stupid names, like so bad I am starting to forget their real names and I used to know them
3. Don't ask me my favourite, I love them all - except Mankey, Mankey can get the hell out of my house.
4. Body by PokemonGO (and Cadbury)

My current Pokegoals are:

1. To be the very best like no one ever was (obviously).
2. Battle everyday to claim my rightful place (and coins - mostly for coins and xp).
3. Complete my Aussie Pokedex (I need 6 more but no rush)
4. Actually be able to run further than 100 metres (more like 30 metres) without dying.
