Thanks [mention=104200]LordSchmee[/mention] - it took me a while but I got there. Mission complete. Oh nice. I'm trying to get the gold medals now. I've got the Fighting one now, thanks to the increase of fighting types, Steel is not far off, but Dragons I'm miles behind.

Now the Alola forms are coming to PoGo too!

New Info and Update!

POKEMON GO news this week includes a new Shiny Pokemon release, Articuno’s return and the Let’s Go Pikachu game for Switch.

You can now obtain a Shiny Absol launched as a reward in the latest Field Research tasks. The Dark-type has only been available through Raids up until this point, making it a great time to add it to your team. Apparently, it's part of the “Throw an Excellent Curveball” quest and will be available this week. And If you are really lucky, you may encounter it in the wild!

The new batch of Pokemon Go Field Research tasks are live and focus on Water-type Pokemon, plus, after completing a week worth of Research Breakthrough, you can now obtain the Legendary Articuno!

How cool does that look?

Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee are being released in November 2018 on the popular handheld console.What makes them special is that they will be linked to Pokemon Go in some big ways. Pokemon Go trainers will be able to transfer Pocket Monsters they have caught in the Kanto region directly to the game.

Yay! Maybe I can finally complete my Kanto Pokedex!

Alolan Sandslash is now obtainable in Pokemon GO by hatching an Alolan Sandshrew from a 7k egg. Normal Sandslash lost its GROUND typing and gained a dual ICE and STEEL typing with this Alolan form. Not only did the typing change, but its appearance did as well, fitting the ICE look quiet nicely! Arguably one of the coolest looking Alolan Pokemon! Agreed wholeheartedly !

I got an alohan muk from an egg but I want a white vulpix Avg I got an alohan meowth

[lolin]

i have to admit, pokemon go really hooked me at first, but it was pretty disparaging when i learned my town only has one pokestop and one gym

small town life, i guess

[H03nn89]

Oh I know that feeling. There's like 2 poke stops in my village and that's it.

[lolin]

ouch, we're both poke-starved

[H03nn89]

We are by the sounds of it. Nearest town s like 10 minutes away for me though, so not too bad.

[lolin]

sorta the same for me, nearest is 10 minutes by car, but i think they've only got one or two as well

nearest city is like 30 minutes by car

i feel like the game is made for people who live in larger cities or who travel a lot

i can't just waste gas driving around for pokestops
