Ok so, bit of story time.
I was pretty disappointed heading through the Imperial Gardens today with both the quantity and quality of the pokemon I got. I had the rest of the day spare after work in the morning so I decided to head to a regular haunt, Ueno Park, to do a little strolling and catching.
I decide to walk there (about 25m) rather than take the train. This proved to be fortuitous. As I approved the south part of Ueno park I noticed that the lake to the south of it had too many people. Like, way too many people. The place was packed. I was wandering in myself. When all of a sudden dozens of people started running past me. First thing I thought was "Where's the fire?" but I followed along and eventually saw what they had been coming for. A dratini. They turned the most popular pokemon haunt in Tokyo into a Dratini nest. Oh god.
This gives a sort of idea. The Lake is a circle, and there's a ring of about 30 pokestops around it. All were lured, all night. That picture has about half the lake. There's also a walkway through the middle of it. Total walk for one rotation is about 2km. There were also a bunch of stands selling Japanese street food, beer, cold water, shaved ice, all the way along the path.
This was the result of a few hours of farming.
I actually had to buy a pokemon space upgrade to keep going.
The real prize though.
I caught over a hundred magikarp, so these guys will be becoming Gyarados
Back at home now to recover a bit before I head out again.
