Just wanted to say I have one extra Darkrai code for anyone who missed the event and really wants one!
EDIT: It has been claimed!

And thanks for the updates, Silver! <3



But there will come a time
You'll see, with no more tears
And love will not break your heart
But dismiss your fears
Get over your hill and see
What you find there
With grace in your heart
And flowers in your hair



"Tomorrow will be a good day."

Hey there Shaymin!

You can pick up a Gracidea to transform your Shaymin by bringing one to Snowbelle City Pokémon Center (XY) or the Berry Master's house on Route 123 (ORAS).

You know how I said I wasn't really interested in Pokémon Go?

Well! I downloaded it anyway, and I've been playing it for the last two days. More fun than I expected! I also am really surprised to find out that there's a lot of local content.

Popping in to say that Pokemon go is quite a lot of fun! It's still got a good number of bugs/server issues currently going on, but that's only to be expected with a new game launch. In spite of those though, it's quite addictive, and the bf and I are definitely having a blast with it! Now, just to make sure that I don't get sucked into the microtransaction side of the game...haha. XD

I got it as soon as it launched two days ago and yeah, minus the fact there's a 200m radius around my house that seems to be a dead zone, (ie I can't get in the game without the 'failed to get player information from server' message), and the fact that I can't battle without it crashing, it's actually quite fun. And it's actually giving me more incentive to go on my 2 hour treks around the neighbourhood and actually get some fresh air and sunlight. I will say, the CP of wild Pokemon deeeefinitely spikes once you hit level 7. xD Also if you can get to built up urban regions, there's pokestops and pokemon literally every 10ft. A loooot of these stops come from user submitted landmarks on Niantic's Ingress app, and I've definitely hit a few out there ones on my trip through the state's capital xD

I'm super keen to test out my three 400+ CP pokemon and take down some gyms once they finally fix their server issues though. c:

I have pokemon go as well although I have no idea how to use it other than throw pokeballs at pokemons that come around... My brother got three eggs and we aren't sure what'll come of those.

Speaking of strange pokestops there is a bar connected to my work building and their sign is a big boot and I guess that qualifies as a something.

I like the app so far I just don't know how to use it lol.

I downloaded it last night and I can't figure out how to battle wild pokemon either. All  I know to do is throw the pokeballs, but I guess I suck at it because I always end up throwing the damn things through the pokemon. I missed a Ponyta earlier today. :(

Yeah the game is literally, tap on pokemon in the world as they appear and then swipe up to throw pokeballs! There's no battling wild pokemon, however you can fight gyms once you hit level 5 and pick a team (Yellow, Blue or Red). If you've played the basketball game on facebook, the capture system is very similar to that. If it helps, turn AR off because it reduces shakiness, lagging and glitches.

I guess the general idea is to go walking, catch a bunch of stuff, transfer the duplicates to Prof Willow for a candy, evolve your pokemon once you've got the right amount of candies, visit pokestops to top up your resources and fight gyms to claim it for your team. I thiiiink... battling is just manically tapping the enemy pokemon right now, so it's not all that exciting.

Ooooooh. That is SUPER helpful! I've heard you can swipe left and right to dodge attacks...

Yea pretty much! You can also fire off your special attack by tapping and holding. (It'll be the second attack on your list - the first is the one you use when you tap.) It charges up when you use your tap attack, which is displayed as the blue bar under your HP. (Saying this on the behalf of everyone who is learning.)

One of my strange Pokéstops is a control/power box that's painted like dogs on a beach, haha. There's also a gym less than a block from my house, but my battling keeps freezing out when I win. I guess it's having a hard time processing the end of the fight.

Yeah, the bf and I have visited several gyms held by other teams, and we've theoretically won all the battles, but they always bug out when the defending Pokemon reaches 1hp. Then they proceed to remain invulnerable, and you can't even run away from the battle. Each instance this has happened has required a full shut down and restart of the game. I hope this gets fixed soon, since it's a huge part of the game that we currently don't have access to. That aside though, we're definitely having fun running around and catching stuff though!

Yeaaah, I've seen a huge amounts of complaints about that on the big facebook group I'm a part of 8'l That charging is useful though, thanks for that! I only knew about that tapping because there was a PSA on reddit that it was probably the quickest way to knock down an enemy.
They could have worked on a slightly better tutorial imo but yeah.
Also a note is to keep an eye out for pokespots that have a circle around them! That means someone's set a lure and more pokemon will appear! Also there may be an influx of other people wanting to use the lure. Apparently there's a bar crawl in my city and some of the pubs involved have invested in these lures, it's actually crazy x'D

Guys I finally got that gym! I'm a silly amount of happy about it.

The lure thing Kreepy's talking about looks like this. It has what looks like falling sakura petals around it, as well as a pink circle on the ground. That stop is almost always lured during the day - it's right outside a very popular shopping centre. (Which is right by my house, yiiis!)

I haven't really been able to play much since the servers keep going down (and I'm almost out of internet data olol), but just now I caught a Tentacruel....by sitting at my desk in my dorm :'| That's how you play this game, right? :'D
