I've caught a couple Eevees. Does that mean Clefairy aren't even in my area?
I think it can be fixed. I think it can all be fixed. But will it be, and in a timely fashion? All I know for sure is, it's making me real thankful for PAD and how functional it is and how much of a real game it is.
So I had to wait until this morning to start to see if a certain something was true.
Apparently it is.

Did anyone else have trouble putting their name in and have like everything be taken?
My ign is MatsuriShirabe because Framboise was taken and I couldn't fit many other words with Framboise.
It's 2016. Why are there such small character limits for names, still? God.
Also nice find on the Pikachu. I haven't seen one since I first started, and I never had a chance to go out and find it.
Wigglytuff, found at the coffee shop I walked to. Named her Powerpuff bc she's huge
Pikachu is apparently a "secret" that you can do at the start of the game. You have to literally get up off your ass and walk away from the 3 starters that appear three times. When they pop up again, a moment later a fourth blip will appear on the map, and it'll be Pikachu.
I had to be doodmaster3000 because like every name I tried was taken. Gonna be the best like no one ever was then vanish from the public eye.
smh gibe plis
I dunno man. I went to a different (enemy color) gym, and I totally STOMPED the Pokemon there, but it just stayed alive at 1 HP until time ran out. I beat the everloving hell out of that Drowzee and it just... didn't die. And the game lagged out. Fuck this.
God, this has SO much potential. I hate to see it go to waste.
Apparently a regular pikachu according to the games' pokedexes is 6.0kg, and 0.4 meters tall. This thing is friggin fat!
shes mine fite me scrub
you wouldn't dare
(for real tho if they ever get their heads out of their asses and enable trading I will trade you)
So I had to wait until this morning to start to see if a certain something was true.Yep. Part of it is that if the servers are down it gives you the name taken info. Part of it is their name database overlaps with Ingress, so... yeah.
Apparently it is.

[15:00] <Chirei> well+1 for game knowledge.
[15:00] <Chirei> I just had to apply videogame knowledge to real life
[15:00] <Chirei> there was a pokestop in a neighborhood but the entrance was streets away
[15:01] <Chirei> so I had to go up as close to the wall as possible and hug it pixel perfect so that the gps would let me use the pokestop
Yeah, XL and XS Pokemon are sprinkled in with the rest and have stats to match. Rumor is that it doesn't actually effect anything except certain achievements, but nobody actually knows. Because none of the mechanics in this game are actually explained anywhere.
i'm not sure why i expected not to be in a pokestop draught area :v
feels bad being ct man
Literally every large city has a dozen or more PokeStops. Not sure what country you live in, but I only have to go 10 minutes away to farm items.
Oh, and the weight probably does matter, for moves whose names I forget that calculate damage based on weight classes. Just about every Pokemon I catch is XL.
10 minutes for you (Which is a super generous distance tbh)
That isn't a real argument here.
a single graveyard
I will be fucking shocked if that turns out to be true. This game is waaaay too simple to have damage calculation like that. I hope they prove me wrong I guess, but that would be really out of place.

Found this lil' cutie in the parking lot of my building. I wish I had a cool AR shot of it sitting on the trunk of my car, but the AR still inexplicably doesn't work with my camera, so no dice.
It's extra small, so it's a Pocket Puff.
Click here (https://www.ingress.com/intel) and log in via Google; check around your vicinity. Ingress and Pokemon Go use almost all of the same locations, so just look for a cluster, and see how far away it is. Connecticut is just a bit less paved, though, so I see your point. I only ever go to places with decent roads (except San Francisco and even then), so I wouldn't know your pain.
It's a legit move that Wailord has. It's called... let's see... Heavy Slam.Level Learned: 70
Type: Steel
Category: Physical
Attack Power: ??
Accuracy: 100
PP: 10
The user slams into the target with its heavy body. The more the user outweighs the target, the greater its damage.
Source: Serebii
EDIT2:
Oh, did you think I meant that that was part of general calculation? Because that would be dumb, I agree.
Yeah, I know Heavy Slam is a move, but you're taking that text from an entirely different game. Pokemon and Pokemon Go are not the same game.
I have seen no evidence to back that assumption up, but the game just won't let me play in gyms 90% of the time. Has anybody seen any evidence that moves have properties other than type, attack speed, and damage? Has anyone seen any status or multi-hit moves or anything?Some moves are super effective. That's all.
I had to look this up because while my friend and I were driving in at a movie theater someone dropped lures at, apparently the refresh time for a pokestop is a mere five minutes. This might be something to look at considering there's only one pokestop where I live :ohdear:Sounds about right. I spammed 2 poke stops at downtown Disney earlier at that interval.
Some moves are super effective. That's all.
I have still already been on 2 pokemon adventures

DUDE THERE WAS AN ABRA THOUGHAnyone who started out with gen 1 pokemans knew just how great the abra line was and how many emotions swirled around it. The patience needed to hunt one down in the grass north or Cerulian. The strategizing involved with putting it asleep or stunning it before it could teleport away. The success of capturing one. The exasperation on finding that they were a pittance at the Celadon game corner... Still, this was gen 1. Psychic was OP and the abra line was monstrous. Friendships were forged and cultivated for the sole purpose of getting Alakazam.
Does anyone know what comes out of 10KM eggs? I heard they're pretty rare.Here's a nice visual. (http://i.imgur.com/9HdbtXA.jpg)

That is not good, not good at all.
Make sure NOT to use your Google account, and if you have consider revoking access.
Pokemon Go doesn't even show up in my list of connected apps.
Ceci has hunted 4 mice so far, but a bug eludes her
(http://i.imgur.com/NeVJ7UL.jpg)
Apparently this is an IOS issue only atleast.
Which is good, but the fact it exists at all is a complete nightmare.
It's not showing up in mine and I run Android too.
I started the game with my Google account, but I figured I should just use the Trainer account I already have, so I deleted the game and restarted, logging in with that. But still, that's sketch as fuck.
I would be unsurprised to see this blow over but it really shouldn't, this is super beyond any reasonable allowance of incompetence.
I lost 20+ pokeballs today just from the game glitching the fuck out
e: I suppose using incense isn't cheating, is it? I mean I'm going to walk eventually but you know.

Also living in New England is a severe advantage in terms of stops because there are churches everywhere here.
I'm kind of jealous that all of my town's stops are legitimate interesting non-silly things. The "worst" we get are memorial benches.I have some cow sculptures in a center near my house and they get called "Cows".

He catches so much without getting off his butt meanwhile my town is full of rats, birds and bugs :fail:
Ah ha ha god dammit.
God dammit Niantic, you fucked it up.
i'm honestly kinda amazed how fast things are already going downhill
On the other hand, the google account permissions are fixed... kind of :v If the app already has full access, you have to remove it and allow permissions again so that it only gets the basic account info.

Hey, Hitmonchan's still really fucking cool. How strong did it hatch? Usably strong?
(it hatched with an HM move?!?)
Encountered an Eevee.

Lost the Eevee.
Hey, I caught one of them yesterday!
After one full day of hunting, this is what I got (having powered up a couple and evolved three) - don't know how good this is but I must've given the Professor a dozen Weedles:

That's okay, we had one of those here and it went down overnight. I think the odds are just stacked too heavily against anyone ever keeping a gym.
Yeah, speaking of that: If one Pok?mon is set to guard a Gym and is subsequently getting its ass whooped, can another member of the same team step in and tag in their own Pok?mon?
-Every 21 hours (?) you keep a Pokemon in the gym gives you a tiny number of coins. Nothing else seems to pay out anything.
-Every 21 hours (?) you keep a Pokemon in the gym gives you a tiny number of coins. Nothing else seems to pay out anything.
You only get Porygon from 5km eggs.
Also, checked out the gyms on my route to work this morning. Whole lotta scrubs in the 200-300 CP range. But then we passed by Harpa Concert Hall...
Yesterday my friend and I screamed. We drove by my university and one of the gyms had a Snorlax in it. We knew Snorlax was rare, so it couldn't have possibly been that high CP, but to our great dismay it was 1700+ CP. The guy must live near a spawn point or something...
I don't know, this game seems to have invented a new kind of whaling (which, as pee Drake's suggestion, will be called Wailording). In normal whaling you just pay to win in-game, but in Wailording you pay to win in real life too by spending a bunch of gas money to drive around battling gyms and farming Pokemon from inside your car.
And I don't know how, but I am 100% cerain that our biggest local Wailord has found a way to cheat at hatching eggs too, because there is absolutely no fucking way he's walked the hundred plus miles he would need to to hatch all of the eggs he claims to have hatched.
Or bought extra incubators and storage space?

This is the spookiest Pokestop.
There's berries and aigs in there.
Slow drive is probably how most people are cheating the egg game.
Cars, unsurprisingly (because they were also op in ingress) are the best cheat tactic. Which is unfortunate for so many reasons.
Someone took my gym with a Gyarados
I don't even know how you could do that with whaling. I've never even seen a Magikarp in our area. Maybe I should visit one of the lakes for a day this weekend.

Local Wailord (who I've been told by multiple people is actually hatching his eggs legit, albeit with ten incubators, which is actually really good to hear because he's horrifically out of shape and that's really cool) apparently has 200 Magikarp Candy. No idea how.
I saw a Moltres on the poke tracker at work yesterday. I never found it ;_;
Apparently this is a thing that exists for people who need more pokestops in their area. (https://support.pokemongo.nianticlabs.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=319928)
It currently doesn't work right now since they're full on requests, but something to keep in mind incase the situation changes, maybe.
Why use a car when you have a fan?
Not tying your phone to a ceiling fan like an idiot, holy shit?
Variable speed.
It doesn't matter how slow it is, if you're leaving it overnight.
To note, there's been analysis on terrain+climate done and some things are very likely to spawn certain types of pokemon. Being near some bodies of water is correlated to water type pokemon, so lots of Magikarp isn't that unexpected.RIP desert dwellers. The only Uncommons in my vicinity and work are Growlithe, Sandshrew, Mankey, Ekans, etc. with NO water types. Arcanine mirror matches are the worst thing.
Is it just me or has the game worsened a LOT in the last 36 hours? Aside from a bunch of connectivity problems, it takes 15-20 seconds on average to load PokeStops (which is usually enough time for you to walk out of range so you actually have to STOP and wait for it to load) and in my 4km walk earlier today I lost like 4 out of 5 catches to the freeze-on-shake glitch. It's never been this bad to me. I know Germany and the UK got the app recently, but is this happening to everyone?

Hmm, we don't have any of those. I don't know what counts as an uncommon, but I'd guess ours are Jynx, Magikarp, Krabby, Nidorans (?), and Tauros. We have no fire types at all and very few rock or ground (nearby college has Geodudes though).Uncommon == not Pidgey, Rattata, Spearow, Meowth, Zubat. :V

I mean, I actually had to wait a long time before I found Weedle/Caterpie, so even some of the 2km-to-hatch group mons can be no-shows according to region I guess.

Ratata, Weedle, Pidgey and Sparrow most from where I live.
Occasional Beedrill, Pikachu (caught today), Squirtle from here.
Meowth is little 20m ahead of me.
Growlith too 20m ahead.
Onix 30m (caught him today)
I'm running into pretty much a lot of types here.
Somehow caught a goldeen and staryu at work where there were 0 bodies of water nearby.
I do have 2 pokestops on the way to work and 3 back. May have to hit them up regularly since I'm getting low on balls.
I want to play this so bad, but everyone in my family has a Windows Phone, and only my parents have unlimited data.
If I'm getting a new phone, I'm getting an Android with an external battery pack.
Am I correct in my guesstimation that incubators are the best use for coins? With them you can at least choose the tier of bonus you get, to avoid wasting your efforts on the vermin pokemon.

Canada when ;-;
Pokemon Go is getting frustrating because everytime I try to catch a pokemon it keeps freezing. It did it five times in under twenty minutes. Missed out on a Squirtle and Horsea because of it.Most of the time it freezes on catch, so wait for it to do the pokeball spin twice before restarting. Then check your box. It's not 100%, but it's better then losing a pokemon.
(http://i.imgur.com/Me9nkwc.jpg)I transferred it already, but I'm pretty sure I had a 23 CP Fearow show up just yesterday. Took it a while to cross the Atlantic!
Aw, look, it's a tiny tiny Fearow.
That about sums my experience up from last night. Seriously, camping a gym in the comfort of your car is fucking c h e a p.
fuckin' Team Red is such an epidemic here
I was at the mall, trying to capture a gym. I managed to wipe it out (fuckin' Team Red is such an epidemic here), but before I could get my buff as fuck Vaporeon in there, they took it over again, and whenever I tried to take it back, as soon as the battle would start, it'd take me back to the gym menu.
I call cheating shenanigans. :matsuriscowl:
(okay the actual answer is 'none, because fuck you there are no accessible gyms near you' or 'red because boobs')
Candela got da big baps, I guess. If I actually got to see the people instead of just their silhouettes when choosing a team, I've already forgotten what they all look like.
I bet you could get dates this way.
I mean, who knows though. Sure would be nice to have something like the ingress map.
What does that do?
Can anybody confirm or reject this based on their own experience. Onix for sure spawns always at same location here. So does Growlith.Yeah someone researched that and that's how it works, I think each spawn point spawns a Pokemon for 15 minutes, and then the Pokemon disappears, and it spawns another one same time next hour.
What does that do?
Well apparently everyone had the same problem this morning, and there were several news posts on google about it.
Okay Niantic, please, PLEASE don't fuck this up (any worse). I was just downtown for a couple of hours and there were hundreds and hundreds of people wandering around playing, hanging out, and talking. It was fucking magical. This game has so much potential to be something special. Hell, it already is special in spite of itself, and I want that specialness to last as much as possible. Please acknowledge that you accidentally made something better than the thing you made and take good care of it.
On an unrelated note, saw a Dratini and a KOFFING! on my radar, but I hunted around and couldn't locate either one.
Everyone seems to be throwing their hands in the air in frustration, but I remember people doing the same with PAD, and recently we had a "NA is actually good now?!" thread title.
Releases are hard, and the bigger the fanbase/app the more difficult it is. It can sometimes take days/weeks to fix what seems like a simple bug to the user. If you've spent money on things only to have the servers go down and waste it, keep note of that and inform Niantic once or twice a week, they absolutely should compensate you for that, but otherwise patience will help everyone.
To answer my own question from earlier about whether the IAP freebies on level up are a one-time bonus or not, they are not. I just received more of all of them at level 15. Good to know. I'm Lucky Egg power leveling right now, and it got me another Lucky Egg.
On an unrelated note, saw a Dratini and a KOFFING! on my radar, but I hunted around and couldn't locate either one.Dood, we have Koffing here, but I'd trade that and my own hatched Aerodactyl just for a chance to catch Dratini. ;-;
Still no Clefairy here, would trade Wigglytuff orz
Man it kind of pisses me off, even if I could catch her, she'd be worthless if I can't level her up :(
I have a 100% freeze rate on catch right now, so I'm gonna guess the server's fucked. Or maybe that's me, I don't know.maybe they split the servers now to shut up the east coasters because my server has been down completely for four hours straight.
According to /r/PokemonGO, the servers have been DDOS'd over the last couple of days.DDOS'd by players logging in by the thousands, perhaps :V
EDIT: But then, that's just hearsay, so take it with a grain of salt. Or sugar. Salt is bad.
I guess it's good that Pokemon GO isn't here yet.
Speaking of that, any notices about GO going to other countries ? I saw that it went to Germany one of these days.
[outoftheloop]That feel when Malta and Cyprus get added but not the rest of the Mediterranean. You can see us as a big yellow patch on the Server Downtime map. :V
Yeah, US, Australia, Canada, and all of Europe except France and Russia. Still no word on SEA.
EDIT: Or Africa.
Our best bet is 2km eggs, sadly.
I found a jigglypuff spawn point at an elevator of all things (They seem to like buildings??), but apparently the things only respawn every hour and I'm not staying at school that long.
I've been keeping a clefairy stash for you guys when trading starts. Kinda hoping it's not limited to local trading
I can theoretically catch Jigglypuffs from my bedroom if I can just figure out when they spawn. I can stack them up once trades are a thing and send you many. WTB Koffings, Machop, and Magnemites.
God damn, so I was just trying to sneak a few Pokemon into some gyms in a nearby graveyard since I'm, you know, not a whale and have. o better source of resources.
No fewer than SIX slow-driving Wailords immediately mobbed me the second I tried to battle a gym and start rapidly taking it over from each other with their 2500+ power Pokemon. I managed to slip a random Pidgey in and collect my single gym for the day, but... No gyms for me anymore ever I guess? Thanks whales, really making the game more fun.
I don't think I would have minded that much had they not ALL been slow driving, but that left a bad taste in my mouth.
The slow drivers are the worst because you can tell they're tryhards
STAB exists but it's weaker than normal. weaknesses are also weaker than in the actual games (it's more like 1.2x than 1.5x)
Game isn't balanced. Basically Vaporeon with water gun OP.
CP is just calculated from base stats (atk, def, and HP) so yes any difference matters. But it also doesn't matter if you can dodge like a god and it's possible to beat high CP gyms even with a 10 CP magikarp
Save your stardust until you get something good, like a high base CP Vaporeon, Dragonite, Lapras, Alakazam, or Snorlax. Getting high base CP pokemon completely depends on your trainer level. Easiest way to level is to spam pokestops and egg hatching, then mass evolve Pidgey/Weedle/Caterpie and whatever else you want all at the same time with a lucky egg boost. Also catch every wild pokemon with a "GREAT" or better (wait for the ring to shrink and then shoot the ball through it)
but vaporeon is cool :<
Okay, so what's good and what isn't?
vaporeon doesn't deserve anything 0/10 would beat up with a snorlaxzam is only good if you can dodge cause psywhatever
Vaporeon is the best easy catch option in the game, assuming you roll the right Eevee. Snorlax is the best pokemon for raw value in the entire game as well, but having no stab on base attacks.
Puff is the second best easy catch, and Lapras i kinda like a slightly better vaporeon. Except, you know, far harder to level up. Muk's pretty good but on the weaker side of all those.
If you find a dratini and want to waste time, Dragonite has the best CP but loses to everything else in hp by a pretty significant amount.
Everything else is basically 'bad' to 'okay but still not as good as other things'.
This game is even worse than the actual games in balanced, it's really dumb.
Edit: also alakazam is loving fucking TERRIBLE suikama what the fuck, that's lower than even jolteon and sub 100 hp, pidgeot is fucking better than it
It's so hot today that fire types are spawning when they usually never do, but with 65% humidity and a high of 100F no one is going outside
except the true pokemon masters!!!111
Easy catch you say... Eevee has been extremely rare for me at all times, I only have three.
the Pidgey power-leveling trick.
Vaporeon is the best easy catch option in the game, assuming you roll the right Eevee.I have heard that if you name your Eevee Rainer (http://pokemon.wikia.com/wiki/Rainer) it will force-evolve into Vaporeon.
Basically, evolving nets you the most EXP with 500 EXP per evolution. Pidgey evolves with only 12 candies (the lowest cost for a Pokemon), so the trick involves hoarding a lot of Pidgey and then evolving them all at once to get a ton of EXP, especially when combined with a Lucky Egg that doubles your EXP gain.
It works since Pidgey is supposed to be a common Pokemon, but it's unfortunately not the case for me 8(
I have heard that if you name your Eevee Rainer (http://pokemon.wikia.com/wiki/Rainer) it will force-evolve into Vaporeon.
Same is supposed to apply to Sparky (http://pokemon.wikia.com/wiki/Sparky_(Trainer)) for Jolteon and Pyro (http://pokemon.wikia.com/wiki/Pyro) for Flareon.
So Japan was supposed to get the game either today or tomorrow...
Man someone has a Starmie in a gym near me and I'm thinking, "now there's a Pokemon you don't see often" :V
To list all the common Pokemon in my area, it's Ekans, Sandshrew, Mankey, Machop, Geodude, Doduo, Cubone, and Rhyhorn. So many Ground-types `_` I hardly get Pidgey here so I can't even do the Pidgey power-leveling trick.
Brah if Caterpie and Weedle were common they'd be on my list `_` As it stands they're even rarer than Pidgey. I haven't even seen a Caterpie yet (I've seen a Weedle silhouette but I wasn't able to track it down)
Candy should be type specific not evo line specific. If a Pok?mon gains a new type or changes type in evolution the evo should require the new types candy. Eevee would eventually have a huge evo menu.This so much. Like every time I think of catching a super rare Pokemon in the wild I think, "What's the point? I'll have to get a gazillion candies for it anyway." Hatching and getting a bunch of candies from the hatch is the only option.
hey man at least we got some minor text fixes in the latest update B)I can imagine the management deciding at a crucial meeting with the dev team: "We need to release SOMETHING"
hey man at least we got some minor text fixes in the latest update B)
hey man at least we got some minor text fixes in the latest update B)
Yeah, I bet you anything they weren't important, either. They probably decided to fix a typo or some garbage, and shut down they servers for most of the day so that they could update them, too. It'd be funny if it were some Pokedex information that nobody reads.
Wait, is the Pokedex supposed to work? Whenever I open it it just twitches and jitters and crashes my game. Do other people not have that problem?no problem here dude
Wait, is the Pokedex supposed to work? Whenever I open it it just twitches and jitters and crashes my game. Do other people not have that problem?I don't.
And this one irritating problem where I'll have pokeballs that I throw straight and the ball goes up straight, but them arcs one way or another widely, like the pokemon has some sort of Protoss Shield around it.That's just a curveball happening when you don't want it to. I usually get it when I'm trying to throw the ball too fast.
Crap. Niantic isn't taking pokestop suggestions right. Was going to see if I could get a couple put at work.

Ahahaha I live on top of 3 pokestops, literally. 2 are in the private areas of my estate. This is amazing.

It was the top recommended for the one you linked. Old chip-generated tones hurt my head after a while, so things like this are nice.

What do you guys think of that Pokevision site that finds Pokemon for you? I'm pretty sure I consider it to be cheating, but apparently everyone around here has decided anything short of hacking your game is perfectly fine.
Normally I'd say tool assisted is tool assisted, but the fact that the in-game radar is completely broken and has been for some time is a valid point I guess.

the public's relative trouble of grasping what's generally allowed in speedrunning versus actually cheating. If this exploit, why not this exploit?Is it hard for people to realize that using a thing not in the game in any form is cheating? As in, code injection and (this one's borderline) cart tilting?
Livid? It was cute thinking of Niantic as a floundering seal trying its best and failing, but this move completes the public's change in perception of the company to "malicious". This is not the direction I wanted my hugely popular Pokemon fad to go in.
So the new pokemon update removes the paw-print tracking entirely. Not sure how to feel about this.
"Minor text fixes" is a meme.Indeed. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ueycNrzwF0&feature=youtu.be)
Indeed. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ueycNrzwF0&feature=youtu.be)This never gets old.
As for iOS, they just replaced the battery saver with background app refresh (http://i.imgur.com/C0Oj4JY.png) so you just don't need to have the thing unlocked while running around to begin with. So uh better. Pretty sure you should be setting Location to Always, as well.
Indeed. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ueycNrzwF0&feature=youtu.be)
In Settings, the options are "Never" and "While Using", unless I'm doing something wrong.Well, some people have said that's what they've been doing to keep steps tracked while locked. I can't really confirm, maybe it's fine just while-using; I don't know iOS.
Willing to wager they removed all tracking and websites due to the whole fiascos going on with trespassing and the like if the tone of tge pop-ups I'm seeing are any indication. I highly doubt it'll be coming back, and surprised that the nearby list wasn't removed as well.
My roommate's been sending me PoGo memes all morning. I still stand by Team Mystic because Articuno is so much better than Garbage Chicken, but goddamn, Candela is so much cooler-looking than Blanche...If only there was a third team.
Niantic came up with an excuse for this update.That's not an excuse, that's a non-answer and marketing speech.

I never really found the tracker particular helpful to be honest.
Oh yeah? It was clunky, but it did work for me. Admittedly my sample size was small, but I successfully used it to find Pokemon as intended on a number of occasions.
So I just saw a Clefairy spawn near my house. I really, really want a Clefairy, so I went outside, completely arbitrarily picked a direction, and walked in it until the Clefairy disappeared from my radar. That told me that it wasn't any further in that direction, so I turned around, went a block over, and went in the opposite direction until the same thing happened. Theoretically given a lot of time I would have eventually found it doing this, but it despawned after ten minutes or so before I saw it. With the footprint system the amount of space needed to narrow down the possible area to search was much smaller because you just needed to see the number of footprints change, which made using this method within the time limit much more possible. Still not good, really, but it wasn't completely luck-based like this current system is.
Edit:
Used incense (as I never used one before). The results were to cry for. Did anybody encounter anything awesome with incense? A high CP weedle/pidgey/rattata doesn't count :V
No. I've been told the only reason to use incense is stacked with attract modules but I haven't tried it yet. I may tomorrow.
Essentially, not having an XP bonus for good timing is a bug, as is low-CP Pokemon breaking out all the time.
To be fair if you're playing the game right (not slow-driving) and don't live in a rural area the social element of tbis game is huge. It's legit amazing.The video shows 3 v 3 trainer battle with the title 'Go play together' Since battling isn't even in, you can't socialize much on this point to be honest.

And I am living in a city. I cycle usually. Slow driving is waste of gas + dangerous. Meeting plenty of people having small chat is common thing. But everybody is feeling iffy after that since you can't do much aside than show each other's e-peen with your pokemon.
I cannot deny the fact that that is a wonderful thing of course. Perhaps I am being slightly too whiny / picky about this. Maybe because hitting a certain level and number of pokemon makes it a bit dull.If pvp gets implemented before next Reitaisai, I will battle you then. Already planning my next trip.
I'll wait patiently for future content.
I'll be happy to crush you with my Nidoking and Nidoqueen.in b4 ruka has a 3000 CP dragonite
About future content: I kinda stopped playing last week until they implement trading, which they said would happen very soon a month ago. If they can't keep their promise, well... So long.
"The [tracker], although enjoyed by many, was also confusing and did not meet our underlying product goals."It wasn't confusing until you hit Pokemon with 3 footprints that was anywhere between 2 blocks or the entire length of Route 66 away and your GPS service sucked so much it wouldn't register you turning, effectively rendering the "right direction" pulse feature useless.
Yeah, no, it wasn't confusing at all.
Can anyone confirm if the "nearby" window has ANY merit, or is it just a broken troll with no correlation to reality?The nearby window is indeed strange, sometimes it feel like the pokemon in that thing like to avoid you and occasionally some common Mon that you could swear weren't there a second before appears out of nonwhere, then other times it work kinda fine and you start finding all the cool things that are on the radar even if your movements are severely restricted (being in a building or in a car (that you'd better not be driving) for example) I don't know if there is a secret mechanism beind it or if is just lag and/or the servers don't working like they should
(http://i.imgur.com/Wz1xMQQ.jpg)
This was the view from my bedroom a few minutes ago, so of course I dropped what I was doing, got up, and scoured the neighborhood. And of course I didn't find anything. Something like this has happed like 8-10 times in the last week alone, and I have NEVER found anything cool that popped up in that box. What gives?
(that you'd better not be driving)
I don't know if there is a secret mechanism beind it or if is just lag and/or the servers don't working like they shouldIt's a really straightforward system that is obfuscated by what's unknown to the player, i.e. where spawns are located, when they're active, what pokemon they spawn and with what distribution.
@ Tengu. Gym battles are a complete joke once you have 2-3 strong pokemon. A single person shouldn't be able to take down a multi level gym. And solo you'll never be able to hold a gym unless suddenly people back you up. And half of the time those backing up people are cheaters (GPS spoofers) who appear out of thin air. And you're wondering who put them there.
Also says the new radar has been added for "a subset of users" in patch notes. Im seeing a vast improvement and if you are not, then this could be why.
So I'm level 21 right now and I have two Pokemon with capped levels, a Flareon and a Cloyster. Their CP is about 500 apart though. Cloyster has a little over 1100 CP, and Flareon has about 1600. Why is that? Does each Pokemon within a species have a different cap, or do species all cap at the same CP for a given level? Does this mean my Cloyster is horrible and I should never use it, or does it have some other trait that offsets the low CP?Each Pokemon has its own Level, base stats and a random generated set of bonus stats for Attack Defence and Stamina (called Individual Value (IV)). IV is determined upon "birth" (or when the Pokemon is encountered). All this combined form the CP as far as I know.
So wait, how is this supposed to work? I have a new radar but I don't understand it. Nearby window has been replaced by a "sightings" window and all of the Pokemon in it have a grass icon behind them now, but what does that change? Is it somehow now possible to actually use this to track?
Edit: For the first time ever my Pokedex is functional after this update, so that's something at least.
I haven't updated yet, but from what I hear, when you tap the icons in the Sightings window (it's been renamed), it goes to a zoomed out map in which you can get a much better idea of where the Pokemon you're looking for is.No idea where you got this info. Nothing happens when I tab it. Rebooted the app several times > still nothing happens.

If you're level 21 and you have maxed out Flareon and Cloyster, it means they are level 21,5. A pokemon can be never a higher level than the trainer (excluding the 0,5).
I am unsure how you can read out the base stats, but their IV can be checked here: https://pokeassistant.com/main/ivcalculator
Two Flareons can technically have the same CP for exact same trainer level and exact same IV. But a Cloyster and Flareon are two different Pokemon.

Edit Reading around on Reddit, there is a 'sightings' and 'nearby' in the tracker menu. The 'nearby' is the behaviour you described. The sightings is for now doing nothing

No idea where you got this info. Nothing happens when I tab it. Rebooted the app several times > still nothing happens.On one hand, don't take my word for it as the info I find could be completely wrong, and I haven't bothered yet to test it, but on the other hand, here's the source (reddit). (https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/4wu2bo/is_this_the_new_tracker_seems_like_im_part_of_the/) The functionality was mentioned in the title, and I'm not seeing anyone correcting this OP. In fact, somewhere in there, this video (twitter) (https://twitter.com/ummjackson/status/762860057159618561) was linked, which backs up the claim.
So what does that mean practically? Does that just mean the Cloyster is horribly weak and should go straight in the dumpster because the combination of those factors is showing a CP so massively lower, or does it not matter so directly?
Obviously in real Pokemon IVs could cause some variance in stats, but never to the point of one Pokemon of the same level having fully 50% more stats than another.
How do I get to the "nearby" menu then? All I see is Sightings.A selective number of users seem to have been "blessed" as a form of beta test or something. If you don't have it then you're not selected. (I don't have it either).
If you use a PTC account, can you log in through the website? That's the first thing I'd check to see if it's something local or not.
From my experience, it's the PTC that's unreliable, but that's just me. I can't even be bothered to play this non-game ever since it became less of a game and remained just as unstable.I think the app is generally pretty stable nowadays, aside from this Iceland business just now. I still have coworkers talking about the game here and there so I'm looking to get back into it when they enable the beta tracker for everyone. Or when they enable trading. I kinda want the app to be a true multiplayer game already and not this weird private collecting thing.
Yeah, my classmates just played it through their laptop during the class, wonderful. It's convenient you know, traveling around the city, finding Pokemons, capturing Gym when the real person just sitting there, with their laptop.
Convenient time to pop in for me. Speaking of spoofing and whatnot, Niantic has been handing out bans for using 3rd party tools, and emulators (if you spoof with them). What you can do with emulators, though, is piggyback on Wifi and then actually walk around with your laptop.
Maybe in future iterations you can actually make stops and gyms if there are none within like 1km. Might get pretty crowded though.
Is that static, by the way? I mean, does the order in which your mon appears stay there until someone beats the predecessors, does it rotate around, or what?It's sorted by ascending CP, and the lowest CP is always kicked out first.
'hey dad i made our house a pokestop'
'what does that mean so- OH GOD WHY ARE THERE ALL THESE MILLENIALS EVERYWHERE NOW CALL THE POLICE AND GET MY GUN'
It's sorted by ascending CP, and the lowest CP is always kicked out first.
>buddy pokemon
>tfw no igglybuff still
At you can get the bigger ones. I never played the core games, but if you were breeding, would Wigglytuffs give you Igglybuffs?

So it looks like we're getting an actual special event. Might not be much, but it's something. I'm curious.
And it looks like it increases Drowzee spawn rates. Oh joy. Now I can be surrounded by five of them instead of four at all times I guess...
Ditto is out! Has some interesting mechanics too. It doesn't appear on the map, but any Pokemon can turn out to secretly be Ditto upon catch. I haven't tried to battle with it yet but apparently it turns into a random Pokemon.
Is it still unplayable with root? Cause that's why I stopped and I'm not really about to redo a root for one game - certainly not now that it's getting chilly.I want to say other people have made things that allow you to play while rooted. I know spoofing is still a thing sadly.
