Huh. That's substantially less than my normal experience with incense. I'm not sure what kind of confounding factor may have applied in your case, because I would have expected at least five in that span even if you weren't moving at all.

What if there are no Pokemon showing on your radar? As far as I know, my niece here only caught one.

That's unfortunately kinda normal. If there aren't any Pokemon nearby, then you just need to go somewhere else.

Went into town yesterday, but mom was driving so I got to play passenger Pokemon Go! Several drive by stops and a couple drive by pokemon! I keep seeing Venognat on the radar thing but the darn guy never actually shows.

I found a gym with an empty slot but by the time I walked there, it was gone. Thankfully, the other gym nearby changed teams and there was a slot open. I put in my CP 58 Rattata thinking that I could train and swap to higher CP guy but apparently it doesn't work that way, so little Booker held down the slot for an hour or so. Got some training points and coins out of it.

Also, my egg hatched into a Machop.

Question: do potions get less effective over time? I remember it only taking 2-3 to heal my Vaporeon, but last time it took about five. Is he mad at me for using him too much?

Potions heal a fixed amount of HP (20), but your Pokemon's max HP goes up as it gets stronger. So yes, over time, potions will recover less of the bar.

I haven't powered it up recently, does it get tougher at all from training?

I'm honestly kind of hoping for more 2k eggs. Fast to hatch, and they have the starters.

No, they don't level up without spending stardust.

Don't know what to say then.

So I got the last spearow I needed to evolve mine, then the egg I was incubating hatched into another spearow about 10 seconds later, but it was a better spearow so I guess that's okay.

I find I'm getting stuck over when to evolve. I'm a little bit from my next level so I keep thinking "I'll just wait until I level again." Have all the candy I need for spearow and pidgey.

ovo territorial marking!

O.o

Okay...reconsidering whether I should join Instinct, now...

I still prefer Valor. Painting my gyms with the blood of my enemies is much better then tears or pee.....

I picked Instinct because Zapdos is best bird.

I'm kinda losing steam on Pokemon Go. I'm still interested in the game as a whole, and I'd LIKE to play it more, but given my schedule these days I just don't have time to.

That I agree with. Blood is fun!

And yeah, when you are carrying two bags around campus, it's hard to have a phone on. But it remains something to get you out when you have time.

I based my team choice on this:
