I don't now what I'm doing with evolutions. I don't know which to keep (other than having higher CPs) and which to get rid of, and it is stressing me out!

You could use this chart, for any applicable species the game has (which is def not all of these).

You receive 1 candy when you transfer a Pokemon out of your party

At the moment battles are pretty mindless and might as well be fully automated, so I would just take the higher cp for now.

@Hadrak is a super nerd, but I haven't seen her post here. Is she not playing or is she just out there training to be the very best like no one ever was?

Antehe

I was going to ask what the blue dog in the cone of shame is, but it's your V-thingy posted on the last page.

Buford

So today I was telling my mom about how awesome Pokemon Go was from a social experiment perspective, and the effect it's having on people in general.

Her response? "I know, I've already caught like 10 of the little unicorns and keep getting the stupid caterpillars."

Needless to say we spent the rest of the evening roaming around town hitting up every pokestop we could find and catching random stuff.

Draiman

I SPENT ALL DAY OUTSIDE WHILE OFF WORK AND NOT AT A LAKE AND THERE WAS 0 ALCOHOL INVOLVED I MADE LIKE 3 NEW FRIENDS AND CAUGHT UP WITH AN OLD ONE POKEMON GO HAS TAUGHT ME HOW TO LIVE THANK YOU POKEMON GO

Serrice

I am extremely envious of you right now.

I'm suddenly curious as to what pokemon hang out in casinos.

Is there a Rouletteachu?

I'm still over here laughing at @Antehe's description of a Pinsir. Literally made my weekend.

However, I took my young brother out for a Pokewalk. 3 eggs. WHAT IS IN THESE EGGS?! Only more walking will tell me.

I need more Eevee's still for my Eeveelutions. I am jealous of anyone who has any. I'm looking at you @Buford.

I also need more Caterpie's for my Butterfree.

Who knew I'd want to spend this much time outside on purpose? My dog will get walks EVERY DAY now. She's happy.

Thanks Pokemon GO, sincerely, my dog.

A local outdoor mall area that has a movie theater had the perfect combination of two pokestops next to one another near an area that pokemon are likely to show up anyway. A bunch of people kept putting double lures up and it was pretty epic when everyone yelled "PIKACHU" at the same time when one showed up. Then we all ran to hunt down a Kadabra behind the theater.

So many glorious nerds. Was fun watching a bunch of 30 year olds lead a bunch of like, 14 year olds around helping them find the cool stuff.

I ended up walking 10+km in one day (including an earlier detour I took through a public park - nature?! SUN?! 98 degrees in Florida? Basically swamp? Don't care, Pokemon to catch!)

Nola

This is what I'm doing my next day off. I noticed a group at the mall the other day all hanging around a fountain but I was on my way home. Apparently our downtown area.. there's like thirty pokestops in the clusterf- that is that area. I want to go to the beach soon too, just to see what's there.

Antehe

I had a nice outing today and caught some things, though I find I'm pretty bummed with evolving them. I saved ones with 50 damage attacks to evolve, but then it just randomizes their skills again. so CP really is the only thing that matters.

Sarita

So my husband pulled out his phone to show me what he'd been up to today, and I noticed that there was something that looked a LOT like a meowth nearby. I went to enlarge the box to see the profile a bit better, but then the servers crashed.

I've never heard anyone say they've even -seen- one before. Did we just miss an amazing chance?

Emelle

I think they must not be terribly common, but I caught one and have talked to others who have seen them. I wouldn't despair!

Antehe

I have two Meowth, they do pop up more! It feels like they're emerging in waves.

Keroc

I would say common to uncommon.

Xenia

So I went out on a boat and there were pokemon in the middle of Lake Michigan but was out of Pokeballs! Dangerous, I know, but once I get more, I'm totally taking my phone out on the water.

Tedrunai

My girlfriend made me go out to try to catch a Clefairy.

We didn't get it, but ended up getting Lapras instead. Unfortunately mine was useless at 140 CP but hers was 850.

Weirdest Pokemon Go related moment so far:

Walking through the park on the way to the Farmer's market with boyfriend - neither of us are holding phones in our hands. Random dude right at the edge of the market has a basket full of pints of blueberries, moves in our way:
Dude: Are you Pokemon catchers?
Us: No
Dude: Did you know blueberries can help increase your sex drive
Me: ......
Boyfriend: I'm alright in that department, thanks.

Are these...... Logically related questions?

Sarita

I believe you met one of those hopeful, but geeky and socially awkward guys who played video games most of his life and is still a virgin. Yes, they can be related.

Solaria

I discovered today that they add new pokestops. When I went out like..first day or two the game was out, I passed by these spots and they were not stops. Today? Totally are. So, got myself three new spots to get some extra pokeballs.

Antehe

I caught a Fearow at my desk at work. How appropriate!

Demarcus

Toddler woke me up at 0500. Decided to get the wife coffee from Starbucks after just an awful, no-good garbage week last week (days without power = bye bye fridge food, everyone was sick but me, couldn't get to work or work from home because of those two things, and then to cap it off our credit card got stolen. Yay.) and asked her if it was too early for coffee. Her response: "It's never too early for coffee."

But Starbucks doesn't open until 0530. So I went to a nearby park littered with Pokestops. Saw another guy doing the same thing and as I went back to my car he walked into a pine tree. Naturally, I did the only thing suitable in a situation like that.

I yelled out, "Suddenly a wild pine tree appears!"

He did not find it as amusing as I did and then suddenly a wild milddle finger appeared.

Madelade

I'm gonna be honest. I know absolutely nothing about Pokemon. Nothing. Never played it before. Earlier today, I downloaded it and I think it only took an hour or so before I got addicted. I am still learning. I only have a handful of pokemons and a handful of eggs (just learned how the eggs work an hour ago).

Since I am usually tired after work, I will have to do my pokehunting in the mornings or weekends, but I can really see myself getting into this! I wanna catch 'em all! It's gonna be fun following everyone here in this thread and, if needed, perhaps even get advice.

Rasani

I was going to bed last night and a ghastly just popped up in my bedroom chillin' right above my bed. Rude AF.
Also, while on pain medication I named my entire pokemon team, going so far as to name my Drowzee "Jazzhands" and my bellsprout "Wigglewiggle"

Keroc

What team are you?
