Post by: Sifo on Wed, 06 July 2016, 11:19:43
It's out in NA for Android PogChamp

Well, kinda. You gotta go download the APK online, but it works.

I tagged a bunch of locations for items on my way home from work and caught a few Pokémons.

Played it while on my daily walk. I think I might just lose a good few pounds thanks to this game. Have ordered a power bank to keep the phone charging while on the walk.

This game is going to kill some serious number of phone batteries.

LOL, I've been worried about the same thing but I think it will be fine as it's linked to my Google account. So how have you been faring? I feel like a Team Rocket Grunt, all I'm seeing usually are Ekans, Pidgey, Meowth, Zubat, etc. My office is infested with Ratata's, I keep getting one every other hour, just sitting at my desk. Best so far is a Persian CP 288.

I saw on reddit, someone got a Dragonite as their second encounter.
Title: Re: Pokémon GO!
Post by: Sifo on Thu, 07 July 2016, 08:05:00
Lots of Pidgeys and Drowzees in Toronto. Rattatas too. I'll be taking over everything, don't worry.

Also for anyone getting to Level 5, TEAM BLUE

Make sure you go into "your pokemon" click the eggs section, and put them in an incubator. otherwise they wont hatch.

Hm, what are your guys' thoughts on it so far?

I've been distancing myself from the Pokemon franchise since the games have been more and more repetitive. Yellow and Crystal are my all time favorite Pokemon games, and seeing that this game (so far) only has 1st gen Pokemon, I'm thinking of trying it out.

Too late, I went yellow. I live in a pretty gang active area, yellow seemed like a safer option :P

My best so far is a 322 magmar.

Not yet, you can post a pokemon at a gym and you can battle those, but no direct PVP.

Well you can battle for land grabs at gyms.  attacking is active, and defending is passive.

But you can't just battle a dude walking down the street.

From what I gather as of now its just catching pokemon? Can you level them up and battle others? How do you get more pokeballs?

Feels like an alpha to me. So far it's been constant crashes, lag & server issues. Probably going to give it a week to see how much has been improved. On the bright side my office is literally on top of a gym.

I walked around on my lunch break, found a zubat which took like 6 tries to catch. About 100 feet away, I see a bunch of teenage guys with their phones out. I asked them if they were playing Pokemon too, they all laugh their asses off and as I'm walking away I hear one guy say "I TOLD you he was playing pokemon go" hahaha

Post by: Purp on Thu, 07 July 2016, 23:17:57
I was disapointed by the new game, I couldn't see anything special about it and to me it's not fun at all. Apparently thousands of people around the world are enjoying the game but for some reason I couldn't. After downloading it and messing around a bit it didn't feel like an actual game, it's more like a camera/geolocation simulator of some sort. I wish we could at least fight other people and friends like we did with the Game Boy version, or at the very least progress in the game somehow. In my opinion the app is nothing beyond a VR Pokédex simulator that was poorly executed. For now I deleted the app but I hope that they implement some new features in the near future, or maybe develop it into something that ressembles the Game Boy experience, which was great. Perhaps my expectations about this release were set too high because the Pokémon games were relevant when I was a kid, or maybe the game indeed sucks and people are just hyped because a decent and somewhat official Pokémon app finally got released. Time will tell, because this thing has incredible potential, maybe even revolutionary, but if they don't somehow improve it people will soon get bored and forget about it.

Downloaded it, finally made a username, accidentally caught a Bulbasaur T_T

This reminds me of Ingress. Which means..I won't really be playing much if at all . Around my residence, heck even walking around out at work there's nothing but random blips of landmarks, no pokemon or anything. It's a great idea, just not good for me in a medium sized and sprawled out city :(

It's fun to try and catch people in the act who are very obviously playing Pokemon GO. I saw two people glued to their phones about to run into the walls at my local post office  :))

You can catch all the starters in the wild.

You also need to recatch the same starter like 20-30 times to evolve to 3rd evolution. Unless you can actually catch 3rd evos in the wild. which is also a possibility.

But I am white.

Oddly enough, people made all kinds of racist comments when I used that name in BF3, not realizing that I was being heretical by taking Allahu Akbar and turning it into an alcoholic beverage.  It came from a Persian friend and I trying to come up with an alcoholic beverage a Muslim could drink.

That is incorrect, that's what people initially thought, it flashes green when the nearby Pokemon list changes. The correct way to track is this, https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/4ruoh8. Although in real world situation, rarely do you have the liberty to walk in all four directions as you wish. At least not here in India.

This game is incredibly fun. My friend and I spent the whole day walking around exploring the city while catching new pokemon. Near sundown we decided to head to universal city walk and we encountered a pokemon go club. We got together and combined our resources. We kept usings lures to get some really good pokemon. This game is 10/10 especially with a large group of people. My friend and I currently own the city walk gym with our highest pokemon. Many tried to beat us but we are unstoppable I wonder how long we will be up at universal

Dude I'm pretty salty.

So I'm about to go to sleep, I'm in bed and I see this gym nearby turned Valor.

I literally get out of bed, put clothes on and go out to go stomp some noobs tryna creep up in my hood.

I get there, kick this Zubat's ass but it stays at 1 hp and still kills my Pokemon. So I leave, it must be bugged or something. I go and challenge it again, and when it counts down and reaches "GO!", it kicks me out to the gym screen where it shows all the leaders. So I try again and every single time no matter what I do it kicks me out at GO. So I can't neutralize this gym that has some weak ass Pokemon, because I couldn't actually kill it because some immortal bug.

Bull **** ****ing got out of bed walked over there wasted my time. I even reset the app and relogged in and all that.

Yes, I think someone mentioned the footprints under a Pokemon indicate the distance required to travel until you find it.

Hrrmm.. it seems there is a gps location spoofer,  but you need a jailbroken iphone to get it to work..

Android works too but needs root, obviously.

Is travel distance counted?

Because I want to minimize the distance traveled.. to catch pokemon..

Yes, I think someone mentioned the footprints under a Pokemon indicate the distance required to travel until you find it.

Hrrmm.. it seems there is a gps location spoofer,  but you need a jailbroken iphone to get it to work..

Android works too but needs root, obviously.
My game would say that GPS can't find me if I didn't turn off 'allow mock locations"
I'm rooted too.

It seems the developers have gotten wind of gps spoofing..   they're curtailing the effort..


Dang it..  I can't go outside.. outside is hot.. Damn you pokemon Go.

Niantic developed Ingress years ago, they have perfected detection of location spoofers ad other cheats, they also don't hesitate to hand out soft-bans, warning and permabans. All the PokeStops and Gyms are actually user submitted portal data from Ingress and that is why the density of these is more in populous areas.

Hello fellow pokemon trainers,

I've been playing since yesterday and have been having quite a bit of fun. One thing I am really missing is battles.
I'm also not to sure about having to catch the same pokemon over and over to evolve one of them. There seems to be no actual training going on.
Other than those, pretty major, things it's kinda a game I've always wanted.

I like that you have to travel across the land, search far and wide.
It really helps you understand each pokemon and the power that's inside.

For some reason I feel like it is my destiny to catch them all.

Just got back from having supper with my brother downtown.  Now, I normally am pretty low on Pokeballs, but the shear amount of Pokestops downtown was ridiculous. Ending up hitting max inventory at 165 of them.

Nothing extremely noteworthy of catching besides a CP 347 Lickitung. Did manage to see a Dratini, but we weren't about to go out of our way to find it.

The driver is ok. My nosey coworker just walked back in to the office with an update. The cops "released" the driver, a coworker came and picked them up so I guess you can rule out drugs/alcohol, but not Pokemon.

you can see how absurd the xp requirements for levels get eventually

there are some pretty sophisticated spoofers out there. ones that include random speed/accuracy variances and route mapping and such, which make them look pretty natural

maybe if you seemingly teleport 100km in 20 minutes they will detect an impossible change in location

That would take too much effort and you just look like a lazy scumbag. Get the hell out there this is a social app and its not meant to be spoofed while isolated in your room.

Not too bad, I used a Lucky Egg, had 35 buggers lined up to evolve, only got through ten, that too with repeated logins. Usually I won't use any items after 4PM GMT, but today the servers started acting up an extra 3 hours early. Must be the Saturday and Europe release.

I spent cash on Pokéballs just to get to level 17 and I know there are people 10 above that in the city. Like, what I wish is that I could just go out and walk, but the first Pokéstop is 12 km up the road, and then there's like 8 km more before the next one and the first gym.

You just have to accept you aren't in the city. Got FOMO because you not level 27? Sounds unhealthy.

I live in a populated suburb and I'm only lvl 6. No clue how you got 17 "in the middle of nowhere".

If you aren't having fun just doing your thing within your means, then you probably should just take a break.

If you aren't having fun just doing your thing within your means, then you probably should just take a break.

There was a bit of a cascade effect that hit me hard at first, but I'm good now. It mainly just reminded me of how isolated this place is. I grew up in the suburbs and lived very close to some hot spots in Pokémon Go, so it just made me reflect on a lot. I got to level 17 by paying for Pokéballs and Lucky Eggs. I am lucky enough to find Pokémon here, and I've even found some fairly rare or uncommon ones, with Ivysaur being my favorite catch so far (found a Snorlax here too, but meh). It's just that there are no stops or gyms. There are a lot of places that could or should be stops but haven't been marked in the game (churches, a fire dept, etc).

You're right though, it was a heavy case of FOMO. I've always been pretty okay living out here. It's quiet and chill despite being out of the way, but PoGo came out and really just sent some nasty kind of existential vibes at me. I've since accepted that there's pretty much nothing I can do in the short term and it's just how things are. Just going at my own pace and not really paying much mind to the game now, especially with the server issues. Yep, taking a step back from the hype and recalibrating my focus has helped a lot.

Come to think of it, fomo hit me really hard when I first jumped into mechanical keyboards too, haha. It's easy to get overwhelmed, but then you just take a step back and realize it's best to do your own thing.

Okay. Now you are making sense. GO has just been an amplifier to an already existing feeling of isolation. I'm sorry you feel that way, and it seems you already cleared your head quite a bit. Keepin' on catching, but don't let yourself get caught up in the internet hype over how crazy far people are into this game already.

I know I have two baseball fields in my neighborhood that are both gyms. The pokemon there are already out of control. To hit stops I actually have to walk through a congested part of historic town. It works both ways, so I feel like the population makes a very casual player like myself unable to really "compete". I'm fine with it as I've enjoyed just catching stuff and asking questions to people on GH through PMs and chats about what is good and what I should do next. GO is a great bonding tool for me, and that is all it is.

I met a few other players locally late last week and over the weekend, kind of funny how people instantly bond just because we selected the same team to play on.  I'm slightly (only slightly) surprised at the variety of people who are playing - middle-aged women surprised me the most.  I was totally surprised by the middle-age men playing (NOT).

They need to implement multi select ASAP.

Pls this would be so helpful.

On the contrary, they might be thinking of not implementing this just to make it HARDER to transfer pokemon and force people to invest more time into the game  :))

You just have to accept you aren't in the city. Got FOMO because you not level 27? Sounds unhealthy.

I live in a populated suburb and I'm only lvl 6. No clue how you got 17 "in the middle of nowhere".

If you aren't having fun just doing your thing within your means, then you probably should just take a break.

There was a bit of a cascade effect that hit me hard at first, but I'm good now. It mainly just reminded me of how isolated this place is. I grew up in the suburbs and lived very close to some hot spots in Pokémon Go, so it just made me reflect on a lot. I got to level 17 by paying for Pokéballs and Lucky Eggs. I am lucky enough to find Pokémon here, and I've even found some fairly rare or uncommon ones, with Ivysaur being my favorite catch so far (found a Snorlax here too, but meh). It's just that there are no stops or gyms. There are a lot of places that could or should be stops but haven't been marked in the game (churches, a fire dept, etc).

You're right though, it was a heavy case of FOMO. I've always been pretty okay living out here. It's quiet and chill despite being out of the way, but PoGo came out and really just sent some nasty kind of existential vibes at me. I've since accepted that there's pretty much nothing I can do in the short term and it's just how things are. Just going at my own pace and not really paying much mind to the game now, especially with the server issues. Yep, taking a step back from the hype and recalibrating my focus has helped a lot.

Come to think of it, fomo hit me really hard when I first jumped into mechanical keyboards too, haha. It's easy to get overwhelmed, but then you just take a step back and realize it's best to do your own thing.

Okay. Now you are making sense. GO has just been an amplifier to an already existing feeling of isolation. I'm sorry you feel that way, and it seems you already cleared your head quite a bit. Keepin' on catching, but don't let yourself get caught up in the internet hype over how crazy far people are into this game already.

I know I have two baseball fields in my neighborhood that are both gyms. The pokemon there are already out of control. To hit stops I actually have to walk through a congested part of historic town. It works both ways, so I feel like the population makes a very casual player like myself unable to really "compete". I'm fine with it as I've enjoyed just catching stuff and asking questions to people on GH through PMs and chats about what is good and what I should do next. GO is a great bonding tool for me, and that is all it is.

Yeah, it was just creating a longing to be back where I used to be and to just be able to walk out and explore like so many people are doing, haha. The feelings of isolation were something I had pretty much coped with up until that point. Quiet neighborhood, out of the way, safe--though the drive is something no one likes.

The game just blew the lid open on all of that for me. Definitely got hit with the fomo hard there. Level 17 might seem like a lot, but I have already seen, like, level 24s and such at the first gym out from here. I've just learned that I -will- have to take it at my own pace; I can let myself get too mixed up in trying to compete when the area isn't the best for it and such.

Pokémon Go is still a really sick game though, especially for those that grew up with Pokémon. It's insane how it just came in and took everyone by storm. It's a fun way to explore one's own town or city too if it's got landmarks that are noted in PoGo. That's something I noticed and really liked, that more than just catching Pokémon, having these landmarks being gyms and stops is a great way to learn more about the history there and spark interest.

It's definitely a great social tool and good for exercise too.

I think I'm just going to quit playing (for now) to stop depressing myself from seeing everyone else having so much fun while I live in the middle of no where without a car. I spent cash on Pokéballs just to get to level 17 and I know there are people 10 above that in the city. Like, what I wish is that I could just go out and walk, but the first Pokéstop is 12 km up the road, and then there's like 8 km more before the next one and the first gym.
Thats rough. I have 3 pokestops and a gym within 15 minutes walking distance from me. I walked atleast 15k yesterday, which is very abnormal for me. This is the most exercise ive gotten in forever! :))

I don't see it anymore so I'm guessing eBay took it down, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Pokemon GO accounts coming up for sale on the game account auction websites pretty soon.  LoL accounts, WoW accounts, TF2 accounts, CS:GO accounts, etc are all sold and can sell for quite a bit depending on what is on the account, so it was only a matter of time before Pokemon GO ran into the same thing.

that's ~$5.00  per mile total cost, including wear and tear..

Soooooo...

If you got 5 people in the car.. have them pay you $1.5-3 per mile each..

I went up 9 levels to Level 13. And I think I grew my pokedex like 7x over. Guess I gotta drive downtown or somewhere with more pokestops/gyms to keep the momentum going. Been really fun overall :D

Yup, same. Unfortunately due to the game clock on Silver and Gold, the internal batteries ran out really quickly, so my original save on my silver cartridge was wiped about five or six years ago :(

How about the updates, folks?  I think they pulled the functionality out of the tracking in order to fix it (and reimplement it or just leave it out permanently).

Has anyone successfully held a gym long enough to pull some coins?  Mine last most of a day, but I have yet to collect anything.

You have to go in the shop and hit collect. You can do it immediately after you take over a gym, you just have to wait 21 hours before you can do it again.

I spent an hour trying to catch Articuno in Red last week. Forgot how tough they were in the older games.
Didn't catch it; fainted it and moved on.

i'm only level 22 and i'm just about fed up with this game. they nerfed pokeball success rates and increased the dodginess of the pokemon, so now i'm wasting upwards of 6-7 pokeballs sometimes on frickin ~100 CP weedles and pidgeys

not to mention now that pokevision is dead I can't find anything that's near me anymore, I could have gotten a lapras at work this morning if it was still up

I've been playing since Day 1, level 30 now, caught 144 Pokes, however now that I've had to relocate again (!), there aren't as many Pokestops or Gyms near where I live, compound that with the recent "updates", I will start slowing down and takes things easy from here on.

Also, I think I have moved to the equivalent of Mt.Moon, have 5 Clefables all 1800+ CP. DOn't ask how many Zubats I've caught :/

You're located in Johannesburg?  Seems like a very interesting place to live.  I saw District 9 so I definitely know!

I have been surrounded by geodudes for the last few days.  Anywhere between 6-9 of them show up on the 'nearby' window.  When I catch one, another one seems to take its place (or fail to catch it after the recent updates).

Man, I ended up looking up catching ratios to see what I could do to make it easier. Apparently there is a glitch in the 2nd generation where only sleep affects your ability to catch a pokemon, burn, freeze and paralysis don't affect them as they should.

Also the wiggle method with the buttons I believed as a kid is completely bogus hah.

I was in India for the last three months, then had to attend something in DC, so went their via London, that's when I caught Mr.Mime and a Tauros. Then flew back to Johannesburg. Have to go to India again after 3 months. This is so hectic, at least I get to travel across the land, searching far and wide.

Nice!  I'm also level 20.  My coworkers were talking about how they've managed to hold down a gym for 3 days without conflict (they're located in another area of town).  On my way back, I wiped out their entire team and took over the gym.  Hey, it's not my fault they chose the wrong team.

I hit level 17 within the first week and then stopped playing. My first pokestop is 12 km away and gym is like 20 km. Nothing in walking distance and the game is too grindy to play alone over here, so it's like, eh. I don't even bother now.

If I lived closer to some areas, for sure.


And yeah, I was hooked like crazy at first. I spent $46 in the shop to get to that level, more or less. Though if I could do it again, I'd have just bought Lucky Eggs and a lot of Pokeballs and used them from the beginning. No incense.

Haha... don't feel bad.  With the update, I've had more low level pokemon (geodude, pidgey mostly) bolt on me after a razz and 1-2 balls thrown at them.

On a side note - I held that gym for most of the weekend (the one I snagged from my coworkers).

I was kinda annoyed, cuz my coworker got the GPS glitch just as we were getting ready to walk across the street, so he got the Snorlax before we even left our building.

Then I saw said Snorlax on the firehouse gym as I was on lunch, totally rekt it with my Vaporeon.

does that actually have an impact on capture success rates? Niantic themselves openly admitted that capture success rates were "glitched" after the throw accuracy update from 8/4, which seems consistent even through this latest update.

When you evolve Eevee again, change the name to Rainer or Pyro first. That's how you'll get Vaporeon and Flareon.

They patched that like 4 weeks ago!

They patched what? Because that's still how you can guarantee which one it evolves into.

They have NOT patched this.  I've evolved 3 Eevee into one of each successfully with the name changes.
They didn't patch it. That's what I did with this one just switched the name back. Did they say they were going to patch it? Seems odd that they would out it in only to take it out.

it works a limited number of times then cannot be used again. it worked for my first two of each eevee evolve type, then hasn't worked since

Seems like a dumb decision to put in only to take out.

The reason that the name change is in there is it was in the old games and the show (or movie? idr). It's not something that they would patch, that just doesn't make sense.

It's from the show and I agree it just doesn't make any sense to put it there in the first place if they planned to take it out.

capture rates are still just as bad as before, I sent in a support request to Niantic threatening to charge back all my Pokecoin purchases since the previous update unless I get an explanation/response/ETA on a fix. I doubt I'll get a response, but I figure it's at least worth a try.

Just asking, you know how to make Great curved throws right?

does that actually have an impact on capture success rates? Niantic themselves openly admitted that capture success rates were "glitched" after the throw accuracy update from 8/4, which seems consistent even through this latest update.

It sure feels like it, no science though

18.5 and honestly i think I've burnt out on it also, it did however rekindle my love of playing my 3DS and i went back and finished Pokemon ORAS and am starting xenoblade chronicles now.

I actually had all my purchases refunded on GO due to the massive changes and bugs, i only asked apple for one refund instead they refunded every single purchase which was like $40 in total.

I don't get to play often - I can catch a few at work during the day, search the couple of times a week I go out for a walk, and on Saturday mornings when the family goes for a walk.

Maybe that will keep the flame alight a little bit longer for me.

I get a few walking to the station in the morning, and again home from the station in the afternoon, hence my egg-hatching exploits.

I can also get a few from the back window at work where there are two Pokestops that are usually accessible after a few seconds of standing at the back window.

It's starting to get a bit slow progressing through the levels - I think you really have to start going to gyms after a certain point, otherwise it is starting to become a balancing act of catching Pokemon and dropping potions so I can collect more Poke balls.

Just don't download the newest update (0.37). The one before, 0.35, still works. Unfortunately I didn't know that until I updated so I had to find an APK.

It's definitely because of location spoofing, but that's just dumb. Most botters and spoofers play on the computer through Bluestacks or Nox. Not only that, you can location spoof without rooting your phone. What they've done is just shut out quite a large userbase in a scorched earth policy to try and prevent cheaters. It's asinine.

Works perfect for me, I thought I read the speed limit is 15km/h, but I've seen it still register around 20km/h as well. I take my bike into town and just ride around, visit pokestops etc...

I love that PoGo actively makes me combat my laziness. I needed to run errands, which I've easily could've done by car, but that way I couldn't put Paras as my buddy out and get that last candy I needed. I love that a game is making me exercise.

We went to Cook's Cottage in Fitzroy Gardens one day during these school holidays (and during my convalescence), and just outside there were three Poke Stops, all with lures, and about 100 random people all sitting around on their smartphones.

But speaking of pokemon, I fixed a pokemon Gold game today, I had saved from being throw in a ex-neighbours bin about 10 years ago, just found it out again after tidying up some stuff, and tried to play it and it was all jumbled mess when loading (I somewhat remember the my friend saying it was being throw because it was broken) but after cracking it open and reading up a bit people said the MBC chip might have a few iffy connections, cracked out the soldering iron, reflowed the joint and everythings working again perfectly :D pretty good to say I saved it from being binned 10 years ago lol, just needs a new battery is all

After two weeks in SF, I'm now at 107 pokemon caught and 120 seen. I'm close to a couple others as well. Didn't fight in any gyms while here, just walked a bunch. Was a fun experience.

I've got two now as well :D

Also using a lucky egg and the double XP, I managed to get 60,000 XP in 15 minutes. Lots of evolving into new pokemon and other evolutions too.

Up to level 21 now :)

Also did the whole mass evolving thing + lucky egg and got level 22 from 19 :) (Halfway through 22 too)

On even better news Amazon Spain restocked the Pokemon go Plus last week and I managed to snag one, already been shipped, then the day after Nintendo UK had them on order again and managed to snag one of those too, now to see which turns up first

3 Ditto now ;)

60,000 points in 15 minutes is a LOT :eek:  The most I've managed to get is around 20,000 in half an hour.

Half way through level 21 - 100,000 points takes a while to get just catching and occasionally evolving.

Today was a good day. Went out for a bike ride in town to do a round of all the pokestops, hatched a 10km egg (Magmar) and finally caught my last Paras and Slowpoke I was waiting on to do a round of evolutions with a lucky egg.

You can definitely tell less and less people are playing.

Yeah, it was a seriously frantic 15 minutes. It was during the double XP event though, and I had saved up about 300 Rattata and Pidgey candies. Also had a Venonat, Paras, Horsea, Meowth and some other first time evolutions so got the XP for new pokemon as well.

I've been using the new app for the Apple Watch which is pretty cool. I use it when I'm at work to just add a little distance to my buddy and egg hatches.

I got up to level 23 or something, but the thing is I have to do it twice - once for me and once for my daughter, as she doesn't get out that much to play.

After a while doing everything twice kinda gets extremely tedious, so I haven't played for a while now.

I did manage to grab a Christmas Pikachu or two each - anyone else get one?

I've been at lvl 40 for a long time now; the game is still a good motivator for me to take a walk or bike ride and catch some stuff.

While there have been a lot of improvements since 2016, the main things holding the game back are still a mediocre battle and gym system, even after the rework, and the lack of strategy due to how Niantic got rid of Sp. Attack and Sp. Defense by merging them, which left many Pokemon without a use.  As it stands, you can just use 6 Mewtwo if you want, which is silly.

Could've been one of the best games of all time with original Pokemon stats and turn-based battle system, but alas.

Can't wait for the Next Pokemon movie.  After Detective Pikachu, it's clear that we have the Pokenology. we only lack THE WILL for more live action films.

I caught a Pikachu this morning with a cute little hat on :)

I'll clarify that by saying that Pikachu was wearing a hat, and I was not.

Technically any hat can be a "detective hat" as long as a detective wears it.

Decide for yourself ...
