Pokemon Go, anyone?

[redt]

Pokemon Go and the Olympics - what a great time to be on maternity leave, haha!

Is anyone else playing? I'm just getting into this. It's really fun to catch them when I'm on walks with DS! I finally hit level 5 (well, 6 now). So I join a team, right? How do I pick a team? And I just go to a gym and then I pick, right? Can someone explain the gym/battles thing to me like I'm 5? And also how to evolve pokemon. And also, how do you get more incubators?

I've played a little bit and pretty much have then same questions as you!

Lol i love playing with my nephews (7 and 10)...

When u click on a gym after u reach level 5 it'll take u through what each team is about. Pick red. (Jk jk thats what I'm on)

Im not too clear on the battles, my Pokemon aren't strong enough (cp= battle strength) ill ask my nephew for a tutorial

You evolve by catching a lot of the same Pokemon and you get candy each time. Sell off you weaker duplicate Pokemon for more candy, u only need one of each. When you click on the pokemon in the index it says how many candy you need to evolve (25-50 usually).

More incubators come as you level up.

I've played some but am slowing down as I'm going back to work.
Idk how to pick a team really. You go to a gym and it asks you which team you want to be. DH told me to be blue so that's what I picked but idk what it means haha! I can't say anything else about the gyms since I've never done a gym battle.
To evolve a Pokemon go to your Pokemon list, click on the Pokemon you want to evolve, and on the screen that pops up there will be an evolve option under the power up option. You have to have enough candies to evolve it though. You get those by catching Pokemon.
You get incubators from leveling up I'm pretty sure.

Oh, and my nephew says to evolve before you power up

Does anyone else feel old trying to learn this new fangled Pokemon game? Lol

[redt]

Ok soooo why do you evolve them?

[nerdykitten]

You evolve them to discover a new Pokémon and it raises the cp which as pointed out before is important for battling. I am also team mystic (blue).

It changes them into a different, stronger Pokemon. You don't want to waste the resources powering them up if you're going to evolve them because once you evolve them it doesn't matter whether the original had been powered up or not. Might as well save the resources and add power to the more powerful one, if that makes sense.

I play a little. I may play a bit more when I'm back at work as there will be more around me. I think it may be good motivation to go for a walk on my lunch break!
