I hatched a cleffa! Now I just need to evolve my togepi, and my pokedex will be as complete as it can get until they release some more pokemon into the wild.

Iām not sure what porygon have to do with Valentineās day, but theyāre spawning out there. Iāve seen five in the last three days, and I caught three of them this morning. Before that, Iād seen a grand total of two. One that I missed when back in July (I was driving and there was no place to pull over) and one that I caught in December.
I evolved a togepi into a togekiss today, so for a very short while, I had all of the pokemon that were available to catch.
The new pokemon are out there in the wild now! There was about half an hour of horribly slow performance, but it seems to be resolved now. Iāve caught 13 of the new types.
Edit: Make that 14 of the new typesā¦

The new update allows you to customize your avatar a lot more, too. There are items that you have to pay pokecoins for, but hey, there are plenty of people who will do that.
There are two new types of berries that you can get from pokestops, but I havenāt tried any of them yet. If you catch a pokemon with your first shot, itās worth an extra 50 XP.
There are new evolutions available for some of the gen 1 pokemon, but they require extra items that I havenāt seen yet. Iām guessing that theyāll probably show up at pokestops.
Thatās what Iāve seen so far.

I wonder if I got the update yet. Iāve been so busy with the new clinic I havenāt had a chance to go huntingā¦ And sadly, while it sounds like itās going to be beautiful here this weekend, I will be at work. Yay.
Have you caught anything fun yet from gen 2? Iāve caught about 40 types. (Yeah, Iāve been out hunting a lotā¦ 
)
Noā¦Iām not sure Iāve even seen any, to be honest. But we have to go down into Columbus to really find any variety, and sometimes thatās just more than I feel like doing. 
Iām up to 200 entries in my pokedex. I still have a ways to go, but itās not a bad start.
I have been toying with the idea of doing this with the boys, if for no other reason than getting us out of the house once in awhileā¦ I still might need some convincing.
I didnāt read the entire thread. Iāll just ask here: Since using it for as long as those of you have, what kind of memory/power toll does it take on your device? How up-to-date does the device need to be (for instance, can we put it on my older Moto G3 and have it work as well as it might on my new LG)? Any caveats to be aware of? Obviously, there are many pros, because it looks like youāve had a lot of fun with it.
I play ingress more than PGo, but theyāre made by the same folks, so my experience should hold trueā¦
The app is constantly using the screen, GPS chipset, and cellular data chipset (3G or LTE), and at least one processor, so it is going to consume power pretty heavily. At least as much as a navigation app and probably more. Memory shouldnāt be an issue. It should work fine on the Moto G. Depending on the age of the battery, it might only run for an hour or two, but if you have a portable charger, thatās not a problem.

Pokemon go is a battery hog. My HTC 10 lasts about three hours of constant play. I donāt know how well it works on older phones, but it uses a lot less data than youād expect. When I was out and about three/four hours a day on my data plan, I never hit 1GB of data during a month.

Welcome, ypw! Itās been a while since we had a new member join the madness.
Edit: Though I see that youāve actually been around for a while, you just havenāt posted.
Good point. Thatās how I get a couple days out of my tablet - turn down the brightness.
Also true. It is constantly checking in, just doesnāt say much. 
Wow, three years in and first post. Thatās longer than I lurked!
I remember you! Long time, no post, indeed.

So, yesterday, Iām walking around my neighbourhood, and one of my neighbours who plays (weāve talked a couple of times, but thatās it) pulls up and starts talking about pokemon. Her daughter is in the back seat, and it turns out that she was going to pick up a friend to go pokemon hunting, so I ask to tag along. For the anti-social me, this is quite unusual, but the four of us (representing all three teams) had a lot of fun wandering around town hitting pokestops and catching magickarp. We may do it again.
I now know another person on my street.
Edit: Oh, and Iām up to 219 entries in my pokedex.

A lapras spawned right in front of my house today. It was there when I got home from a gym rampage. I trotted over to the neighbourās house and told her about it, and she ran out of the house in her pajamas to catch it.

I got a shiny magikarp! It was a 13 CP weakling, and turned into a 200 CP weakling gyarados, but Iām powering it up. I also got a blissey, finally.
Iāve been capturing creatures, but still donāt really know what Iām doing. Iāll have to consult with one of my nieces soon.
