Anyone got Unown yet, it's basically all I need.

Will stop after GenII, if they do a legendary event I will come out of retirement.

So I have a few questions, as I have started walking back into work and have decided to resurrect my career!

1) Are there any decent Gen 2 Pokémon?
2) Is it better to power up before or after Evolving ?
3) Is there any skill to gym battles!!??
4) What is the Best Pokémon in your opinions?

Cheers!!

Me too. A few of my fellow team mates have it. We had 3 spawn in Leicester in the space of 12 days recently, the third right in the city centre where a few of them work.

From above
1) if by decent you mean powerful then yes, Tyranitar and Blissey.
2) Power up only if IVs are good and moveset is what you want.
3) No, but this is supposed to improve.
4) Dragonite is the best I agree, I have 6 of these bad boys.

Anybody still playing? I started mine up again recently and am actually enjoying it. Added Mew to the game now too but having to complete quests in order to catch it. Finding some of it quite difficult!

All the original Pokemon are worth six candies at the moment, makes things a tad easier to upgrade!

Unfortunately this Kanto event does nothing for me. All I need to do is catch 9 ghost pokemon and a ditto for the Mew quests but all I find back home and in London is Ekans, Oddish, Bellsprout and Magikarp. I have 950 Magikarp candies!

Ghost pokemon and ditto being impossible to find is doing my head in :arry:

I never stoped playing. It’s still huge up here in the East Midlands. I hit level 40 in January. I took part in a survey for legit level 40 players and my stats were high enough to join the TL40 Facebook group for the world’s top players. I’m joint 1st in the world for number of gym badges! :lol:
I only need Cradilly to complete all of the UK available Pokémon. I have Tauros from a trip to Vegas. Going to Tenerife in a few months where there are 4 more regionals currently available.

I'm level 30, but went a few months without playing because I kept using all my data. But recently started up again, got caught spoofing so I am still shadow banned annoyingly. Should be gone by Tuesday/Wednesday next week.

I have definitely learned my lesson! The frustration is killer.

At least you got away with a shadow ban. I heard there are permanent lockouts for some accounts.

Yeah to be fair the fact I have got away with a shadow ban woke me up a bit! No more spoofing after it's over, definitely learned my lesson.

I didn't realise the amount of beef with legit players and spoofers, it has been pretty funny seeing the arguments online between them. But I only spoofed to catch pokemon when my data was low, still played legit on my walk in to work and around my town on the weekends when going to the shops. Didn't take down gyms from my sofa which I could understand would annoy players.

Annoyingly its been two weeks now since the shadow ban and still hasn't been lifted
