Safe Travels!

I am looking for folks to connect with, but this reddit looks dead.

I'm usually the GTA and haven't seen anything on the atlas or my sightings yet for either Miltank or Unown. Has anybody here seen any and if so where?

I was wondering if there was a place where people from eastern canada (I'm from Montreal area) still active on the social aspect of the game.

I'd like to coordinate with some people from Instinct to train up gym in my area or things like that, but I don't know where to look for and ended here with not much hope.

Would be nice to identify some gyms that can be done from a warm public areas as well for people without car or even hotspots like Metro Lionel-Groulx that is a nest with 3 pokestops that can all be reached while inside.

So if you're in Ville-Emard on team instinct, you can pm me or reply hereif you want to set some things up!

Hello Everyone:

  It's 9C and drizzling today, the temperature is supposed to drop to 3C by tonight. I think winter might be knocking at the door, so I thought if we all pooled our spots together we could come up with enough places to play throughout the winter. Both indoor and car-camping locations.

  Just add your location and a brief description and address and we will beat old man winter when he comes calling.

Hello Everyone, I wanted to pass along how I'm keeping warm in the car without having the car idling wasting gas to keep the whole interior warm. I use a blanket, actually I use a $3 emergency blanket covering my lap, legs & feet. Compact, easily refolded and it's designed to reflect 90% of your body heat back to you. Keeps me toasty warm.

My simple mod:   Opened up, this blanket is 4 feet wide by 7 feet long, too large and awkward to work with in the car. When you take it out of the package it is folded into a shape that is 2 inches wide by 7 feet long. Cut this shape in half, and you get a blanket 4 feet long by 3.5 feet wide. Perfect for covering you from the waist down, and much easier to work with and refold.

Hope you stay warm.

Hello Everyone:

I've never seen this mentioned in the main Reddit, so I thought I'd share.

Sometimes when trying to catch a wild Pokémon you put your finger on the poke ball and immediately say 'I should be using something different.' But its too late, you have to throw this ball or loose it.

No you don't, drag you finger down off the screen and you will let go of the ball with no negative effects. You can now change to a better ball or a raspberry. Even decide not to try and catch this Pokémon.

Hope it helps.

What Pokemon are guys guys considering setting as your buddies? Any theories on possible Easter Eggs you'd like to test out?

I haven't yet been able to download the newest update, but I'm really stoked about the buddy system. Finally, an excuse to keep my less powerful Pokemon! I still have my starter Charmander, and since I've encountered very few of them, I'll definitely be walking it for candy. I also have a Victreebel that, while being one of my highest CP 'mon, isn't very strong, so she deserves some walking. I'm also down to walk my single Pikachu to get that shoulder mount Easter Egg.

What about you guys?

I'm from Hamilton. And lots of people who I have met playing PkmGo in the city seem to be pretty new at the game, or are having trouble understanding where the spawn points in Hamilton are to be. I have asked around, and have many friends who are playing the game in all areas of the city, I myself am level 23 atm and have walked ~175km all in Hamilton. since July 15th when I started.

There are a few hotspots in Hamilton that I would like to point out, and then would ask for feedback from other Hamiltonians on where they might find the best places around.

• Mohawk College - So far spawns near the college area are Clefairy, Jigglypuff, all ancient pokemon, Meowths, Machops, and Eevee. There are 3 Gyms at the school, and 8 Pokestops within the school grounds(only about 3-4 city blocks). This is a generally safe place to hunt as there are security on staff, as well as cameras covering most of the area you will be walking in. This is a relatively safe, and fun place to play as there are so many college students playing here.

• Bayfront Park - Water pokemon have a tendency to spawn near water, and myself being at Bayfront park, the lures there often give me Magikarp, Poliwag, Psyduck, and other common water types. There are also a large amount of rare pokemon that I have seen spawn down there including the occasional Lapras, Blastoise, and not limited to just water pokemon. The area is filled with pokestops as well, and is a generally safe place to go Pokehunting.

• Jackson Square/Gore Park - Gore Park has plenty of pokestop, walking back and fourth in the park will get your bag full in no time. It is the best place in Hamilton I have found for collecting pokestops. I often see Tangelas downtown, as well as lots of first and second evolutions. Myself, I have not seen or caught any 3rd evolutions in this area. I will say that you should exersize caution while pokehunting in this area and Downtown can be a bad place sometime.

• Sam Lawrence Park

• Hutches by the Beach - And all along the beachstrip, you can walk all the way from Hutches to Spencer smith park in Burlington and you will not be disappointed. My little brother caught a Dragonite at Spencer Smith, and It is by far the safest and best place to catch pokemon near Hamilton. You can take the 11-Parkdale bus and it will take you right there.

• Gage Park - Please use cation in Gage park at night. I have heard people getting mugged there. Please use cation and travel with a group if you wish to play pokemon go at night. I have seen some amazing pokemon spawn in Gage, including Pikachu, Electabuzz, and a few other uncommons I haven't had much luck finding in the rest of the city. Plenty of pokestops and gyms in the park as well.

• McMaster University/Hospital

• RedHill Valley

This is only a basic draft as I even doubt many people from Hamilton will be using the SR.

If you have any other locations you enjoy hunting in the city, please let me know. I have been trying to map out nests here and there, however the only one I have found is in a exclusive part in Chedoke Golf course - Please do not trespass.

Manitoba isn't really Eastern or Western Canada, so I'll post this in both subs. How many other Prairie redditors are here? Any MB maps?

Here in Woodstock we regularly see players with Drowzee being around 50% of total Pokemon caught. Has anyone else seen something like this?

Travelling there this weekend. Could you tell me what sort of Poke's you run into there? In the prairies we have no rock, fire and very few electric. Tons of Drowsie here.

Let's keep everyone in the loop! If you know of any upcoming Pokemon Go meet-ups in your area, post about it here! When doing so, please include the following:

• Location:

• Date and Time:

I will include a list of meet-ups on the sidebar.

My friend group and I all downloaded the game yesterday and were going around for the day searching for pokemon on our bikes (Sorry Prof Oak) all over town and have found that sadly team red seems to have taken over all but one gym and left magmars... Anyone know the best pokemon to defeat them/counter them? Oh and that one gym they don't have.... we took it from them :3

Hey guys, I'm an Ottawa player and I was looking to set up some lures during my time down town this weekend (and in later weekends) there are bars in the city that are also pokestops.

Some of our 19+ users should hang out and celebrate the road together now that Pokemon go is in the city.

Anyone else interested in this idea?

I live in the middle of nowhere, but I used an incense at about 9:30am and caught 2 Weedles, a Paras, an Exeggcute, and an Oddish. Oh and my starter is a Bulbsaur because the app lagged and I never got to see the other two starters.

So my Pokemon are primarily Poison, Bug and Grass types. What do you have so far?

How are the rest of my fellow Canadians doing? https://imgur.com/a/piJiA

Hey Trainers, anyone in the Niagara region

There are a lot of travelers down in Southern Ontario. Id like to see how many we have north or west of the great lakes. I've touched base with a couple from Winnipeg, Manitoba, but haven't heard of any in the Thunder Bay area.

Anyone up here in the more 'central' area of Canada?

While I think its a very Canadian thing to do, we can't all do it. Whats Eastern Canadas color dynamic look like so far?

I was wondering who already had an external power bank and how big you chose to buy. Are there other people looking for power banks? Are you also coming across all the cool looking, cheap ones from China? I kinda want to go out on a limb and get one of them. Even though when I asked the Rep they said that they did put false mah sizes on their specifications. A 20000 mah is like 13000 I think a review said, which was what made me ask the Rep.

I can buy a moderately priced one when the game actually releases. I expect there'll be more purchases and reviews after Pogo releases, to help me choose.

I'm hyped for the power bank almost as much as I am for the game.

Hey, would it be possible to have a link on the sidebar to downloadable (preferably vector) flair icons? I'd really like to work on setting up a calling card for my area for fun.

Is anyone else going the CN tower as soon as Pokemon go comes out? I figure it's probably the most notable landmark in the area and I'm hoping there are some good Pokemon there. I'm downloading the game and driving downtown asap lol

This thread is specifically for trade route purposes. If you wish to be a part of the Eastern Canada Silph Road please comment with your hometown and areas you'd be willing to travel as well as frequency. For example:

Hi I'm MiniBattles! I live in London. I'm willing to travel between Toronto and Detroit. I will be able to make trips once every two weeks.

We'll be creating a formal map once enough information is gathered. Thanks in advance for your support of the road and safe travels!
