I thought Sabrina's gym had a lvl 55 entry gate, I just tried it and it was lvl 45. Did this get patched out already or was that just incorrect to begin with?

Version 1.0 is still the latest version so I doubt it.

Also, how nice is it to have a perfectly complete and working game days after release. That's refreshing for sure! :lol

Just missing Nidoking, Hitmonlee, and Legendaries and my Dex will be completed. I can almost taste that shiny charm.

So funny thing. Since we didn't get a selection of names to choose for our Rival, I named him Blue.

What happens after the first gym? BLUE appears.

So we have Blue and BLUE.

Spent a bit of time laughing at hat when I saw BLUE lol.

I chain Caterpie, then go elsewhere and sit whilst I'm doing work
Wait so the pokemon you're chaining doesn't actually matter, the overall chances of a shiny will increase across the board for all species?
I assumed chaining only made the chances increase for whatever particular species you were chaining.
So you're just chaining a common monster and then leaving to get different spawns?

Maybe I should just get the shiny charm before trying to get more shinies. I think I got spoiled by getting 2 shiny Vulpix just by chaining and a lure.

Chaining will at least cause that pokemon to spawn more often.

I just named him Yellow...I am starting to think that name is too good for him and that I should have given him the name Blah.

How have you been finding the game without your staple mascot? I know that I would have been frustrated if I couldn't have Charmander on my team.

Is there a designated trading thread/anywhere you'd recommend to go to seek trades? Guessing this thread isn't the best option?

But just in case...
anyone want to trade my Haunter to so I can get Gengar? I'd like it back though too (I'm a bit funny about using 'my own' Pokemon haha). Let me know!

Apparently, the only "problem" (depends on whether you care or not) I see with this is that your shiny won't have 4 maxed out IVs for sure, or does that carry over as well?

I had a chain of 43 on Caterpie and went exploring up to Pewter/back and forth in Viridian until a shiny Pikachu spawned. It has 4 perfect IVs on it.(at least...I think it does. I'll have to double check to be sure but I'm pretty sure it does)


Also I dont have to be slightly envious of everyone getting shinies. Tried a chain of Caterpie and just sat for a while in Viridian, looking up occasionally to see if there was a shiny. I just beat the E4 and started seeing Charizard and Dragonite spawning as well so I was trying all over for one.
Now to hopefully hunt some more shinies since...yeah this wasn't too bad at all!

Not sure how I feel about being able to swap in Pokémon from my box during the Elite Four. I already kind of feel like it's cheating doing it out in the middle of nowhere, but it makes sense to be able to do so. But during the league? Ehh, feels like it takes away all the planning and tenseness from it.
