Tokyo is packed full of pokestops, I've started throwing pokeballs away and most potions just to keep up and make sure I get eggs.

There's a really good mix out here. Pinsir seem to be crop up a lot as does the Ponyta Very few ghost pokemon, only had one Ghastly.

The Farfetch'd is the Japan exclusive. I've not seen one yet but had one appear on my sightings

I've caught some good wild ones I've only had from eggs before, including a 1166 Magmar, a 1572 slowbro, a few dratini, lots of Doduo and loads of Eevee.

Hatched a Snorelax, got loads of Abra around a temple and caught my first Tangela and Dodrio.

They've changed the buddy system so it's 1/3 of the usual distance required to get a candy. I think it's only for Halloween.

I think you're right.

Not sure which pokemon to use as my buddy now. Might get a dratini in there

I'm not going to catch a Farfetch'd seeing as they've flooded the locations with ghastly and their evolved forms.

My work seems to be a Kadabra spawn if this morning's sightings are anything to go by... :D

Looks like they're trying out new things to keep people interested. You now get 500xp for the first catch of the day. Last night I walked the dog and took my phone. I've not been doing it recently but I went to a Pokestop and got a massive amount of bounty from it. I've also noticed a lot more variety of the type popping up on the Nearby screen.

I still think they need to bring back tracking. With so many people not playing now I reckon the servers could handle it.

I can barely be bothered now the trackers are all down. I can't invest large amounts of time so used the trackers to get the most out of it when I did.

The popularity of the game has massively dipped and that will continue over here now that winter is just around the corner

Looks like the latest update is designed to encourage people to log in once a day.

If you do the 7 day pokestop streak you get 20 items. If you catch something 7 days in a row you get an extra 2000 xp

If you leave it for a while, when you open it up there should be a Pokémon party by your location. I've had all sorts of them pop up lately.

Users logging on have really dipped. No tracker and not being able to swap make it a bit crap.

Totally agree with the tracker situation. But the continuous days streaks have encouraged me to use it a bit in the last few days. The weekend in the city helped too.
