So... after chatting with a few people, if you don't want to wait, one of the best ways to get it on iOS is to pretend you're living in the USA. No address? No problem. You totally can live at Google HQ, Apple HQ, Disney world, Amazon HQ, Microsoft HQ, wherever you want!

I don't know why, but my first thought was that Sliver has an advantage if he decides to play. His Rascal is perfect for hatching eggs and reducing fatigue chasing pokemon.

When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”
That is all.

Also ideally with Incenses you use them while moving as that will dramatically increase the amount of pokemon you should find from staying still (around 7) to much more (have heard of around 20).


Yeah was on the entire time.

Got a lot on my dog walk though. Up to level 4.

Up to level 7 now. But my area of the city has some gyms that I literally can't even begin to touch.

Enjoying the game but it is going to be tough to level up much of anything being stuck in the office all day, and chasing rugrats when I get home.

Maybe the wife and I should get a dog.

Look up hot spots in the city. You can seriously accomplish in about 1 hour what it would take the average individual about 4-5x that amount due to the difference in density of pokestops and possibly pokemon spawning due to individuals dropping lures. The walking is more while you are incubating eggs. Walking around normally in your area might help with some of the more rare pokemon, but leveling up and getting more items, go find a hot spot.

See list:
https://dailyhive.com/calgary/pokemo...gary-locations

Turn off AR (Gyro + camera while trying to catch pokemon). The power drain on your phone will be more reasonable.

Most hotspots are semi enclosed areas. Having a rugrat or two shouldn't be a big deal.

Haven't been walking around deliberately chasing Pokemon per se, but I walked about two blocks between the mechanic and my house in Mount Pleasant and netted me two Drowzees, a Zubat, a Koffing and a Hypno!

I saw a facebook post about water pokemon wandering around in their community in the SW. So... I'm guessing, no?

EDIT: Random Shellder showed up on my map randomly.
