>Oficial guide and help
https://support.pokemongo.nianticlabs.com/hc/en-us
>Is anyone else having trouble with x?
Yes. Servers have been fucking up forever. If you have an issue, it's likely a server issue or a bug not unique to you.
>When will the game be released in my country?
What are we, from the future? We don't know.
>It says that the app is incompatible with my devices! What gives?
This is a region lock and it is very probable that your device IS in fact compatible with Pokemon GO. Install the app to find out! Directions are below.
>If I live outside of Australia, Germany,UK and the USA, can I download this game for Android?
Sure! Keep reading for directions.
>How do I download the game?
Go to http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/niantic-inc/pokemon-go/pokemon-go-0-29-2-release/pokemon-go-0-29-2-android-apk-download/
You will need a file manager on your phone. Get a file manager in the Google Play store.
ToTT: How are you spending your time while the servers are down?
First for qt numbers
First for posting here instead of /vg/ because nobody has lewds there
I have 2 Pokemon in gyms I need to collect on. I worry that I'll get on late waiting for the servers and get bumped out of them.
For now I'm gonna' pack a bowl and watch Evo.
>>27200409
I spend my time checking this out when I'm not going.
>>27200409
Was planning on walking dog. Idk if I should wait a bit in case the servers come on when I get back.
>is update real?
I suspect it's going to be down for a long while.
>>27200505
is there proof they DIDN'T do it
>team rocket memeber
Servers down post lewds
>>27200505
Bye bye credit card
>>27200443
holy hell what the fuck anon
I hope they're fixing the tracking bug.
>>27200555
>Trips of truth
So now that the servers are down can we talk about this beauty?
They're currently sold out everywhere, but obviously this game has proven to be much more popular that ever anticipated, so that means they should make more soon, right?
Or do I need to just suck it up and buy one for more than double the price online?
>>27200438
Do you have to return to a gym physically to get stuff?
post your achievements pgg
>>27200582
>autismwear
>>27200505
Has there ever been a case of a hacker group publicly claiming credit for an outage and NOT all being arrested almost immediately?
>>27200555
I wouldn't be surprised if that's actually the case. It'd be a fun twist for an update.
>>27200558
>>27200436
Dude fuck off and fap by yourself, or take it to /h/.
>>27200533
Is hardcore playing actually a thing on this game now?
>>27200582
Were they even released yet?
I thought they were still on preorder.
>>27200547
>no proof of it being them
>No proof of it no being them
>no proof of update
>>27200583
No, you tap on the shield in the upper right of the shop.
>>27200622
It's summer. Most people who play this are college-aged people who have nothing else to do but wander around towns all day.

>>27200587
how can I post them when I can't even log in?
>>27200537
Who dees women of beauty?
>>27200587
I feel like I'm a bit behind.
My area doesn't have much type variety, or mons in general.

bullshit
What nice mons have you got recently /vp/, hatched a Scyther with steel wing and bug buzz a couple hours a go
>>27200583
No but I'm pretty sure if you get bumped out before collecting your rewards are gone
>>27200712
Yeah, so your magnemite/ton count.
Anyone else still have the three step bug today?

Sold out when they went on Pre-Order earlier this month.
This is marketing 101.

Not one person is going to not play this game because of servers going down as a result of popularity. In fact it justifies the fact they are playing in the first place (if they don't have decades worth of playing, and in that case no justification is necessary).
I'm filling time by periodically checking back and watching the British guy's last week with the game on youtube.

As long as they refund my gold I'd be fine with it.
>>27200795
Nah. Try this.
Legendaries can spawn anytime in the place of a Normal Pokemon spawn. You don't know until you click on it, the map shows it as the original Pokemon. Incredibly rare though.

Fuck that. They should obviously be really hard to get, but once you do, you should be able to keep that shit.
Noob question here, how do I add Pokemon to gyms with 3-4 Pokemon already in? I've seen those gyms with 6+ Pokemon but I don't know how to add one to those, do I have to spam training mode until the option appears?
am i the only one who thinks that the "3/2/1 footsteps nearby" feature is bugged to hell? I always have rare pokemon 3 footsteps away, but when i walk for hours around my neighborhood, they never get any closer and sometimes disappear altogether.

>>27200935
You battle the gym until it's prestige ranks up enough to open up a slot that you can then add your pokemon to.
>>27200937

Anyone else still having the constant 3 steps bug on the radar?
>UNABLE TO AUTHENTICATE
>>27200969
Level 15 here, barely have one Pokemon at 1000 CP
>>27200712
I'm kind of behind too. At least the servers are back up again.

>>27200600

I think I'm going to drive a couple hours to the next big city and see what pokes they have this afternoon. Hopefully find a good pokestop, too.
>>27201004
>4ever3steps
I have it
>>27200937
Been like that for me for the past couple days.
Reported it
It was what I assumed the server being down for when I first turned the game on this morning
IT'S BACK UP
Pokestops and gyms aren't showing up though
>>27200979
Been my name online since 2003 for everything.
You see that name it's prolly me.
Also fuck you FLCL is great.
Nice to see no progress was made on the footstep glitch, fuck my shit up famalam
>>27201055
Loading up or icons on the map?
If it's the map, wait a bit and reload your game. I can see them on my map.
>>27200582
What does it even do?
Can you catch pokemon or visit pokespots without having to pull your phone out?
Can I be a star dust warrior?
>>27200895
It's really annoying here, I have plenty of room to track something when the steps thing is working.
I hate seeing shadows on the nearby list but not being able to hot n cold them down.

I'm back in, is the three-step bug still a thing? If so I think I may head downtown and drop a lure rather than hunting pokemon around here.

already down
no bug fixed
>>27201055
I can see them. Everything is still 3 steps away though.
>>27201172
How much HP do you think Chansey will have at 300 CP when it's already at 193HP at just 148CP?
Also the anon's has zen headbutt and psybeam.
>>27201135
>finally able to log in
>there's a Koffing in my nearby

>>27200795
That's bullshit. Legendary Pokemon should be restricted in one place, most likely a landmark or an important place
>>27201122
But this guy
Mine is still unable to authenticate, is it down again or should I be able to get on?
>>27201199
Snorlax or Dragonite. What are their moves and HP?
Hatched this yesterday -- I'm at level 23 and probably got the egg at 21 or 22. Should I bother powering it up, or is its CP always going to be shit?
>>27201245

>>27201313
I'm the only Team Mystic guy in Valorville too. But I convinced my brother to join Mystic too, and he convinced his friends, so we're gonna swarm the place soon enough.
>>27201335
He said as he causally brushed cheeto dust onto his pants
how much impact do the attacks that a pokemon have on it's efficiency in combat?
>>27201335
I would try and take them but every time I do, it gets claimed shortly after, + the gyms have 6+ pokemon each
Pls update in the next op that Go has been released in Finland
unplayable like this...

At least you got all that candy. Wait til Gen 2 rolls around, get yourself a Scizor.
Just started playing, level 5. I don't live in the city, nor do I have any personal transportation; Should I be concerned about the amount of pokeballs im using? Im currently just catching every pokemon I encounter, and I'm down to 36 balls.
>>27201476
how many pokestops in a 4km radius?
>>27201455
>I'm not going with my instincts
>>27201455
Only one of those I haven't found by walking around is Onix.
My 10K egg hatched into aMagmar.
Friendly reminder to not hatch any eggs while the servers shit
If it freezes on "Oh?" Not only do you lose your egg, you lose the Pokemon you hatched
I should know because IT FUCKING HAPPENED TO ME ON A TRIPLE THREAT HATCH I DID FUCK
FUCK NIANTIC AND YOUR SHIT SERVERS
LOST 3 FUCKING POKEMON
Who jelly?
>>27201476
Are there any Pokestops in your vicinity at all? There are about 5 total in my entire town, and two gyms. I've just been walking 5-7 miles a day for the last 4 days. So far I've found it pretty damn refreshing and have no reason to stop, the egg hatching is great too.
Strange thing is that I kept on playing until noon, here in Italy.
So, for US users could have been 4 or 5 in the morning.
I keep on receiving the "unable to authenticate" error, if I log with Training Pokemon Account.
But if I log with GMAIL, it gets fine.
Problem is: I DON'T WANT TO USE MY FUCKING MAIL.
So, what should I do? Servers are on for everyone and even my other account could be used, but I want to play with my Trainer Club account.
What could be done? I even tried to log into Pokemon.com, but profile modifying is disabled, due to overload.
What should I do?
What are the differences between eggs? Should one be prioritized over the other?

If you have even a one PokeStop near you you can camp it for Pokeballs. They refresh reasonably quickly.

They are in my area. Probably one of the most commonly spotted "uncommon" in my area. Lots of Arcanines guarding gyms. Same with Eevee. Every gym usually has an eeveelution in it because of how common eevee are.
>>27201731
I'm thankful Eevee is in 10k. Hatched one today and got enough candies to evolve an amazing Vaporeon tank.
>>27201695

no, one at a time, its just giving me errors half the time and lagging most of the time
its not a fucking hard task to do
>>27201727
It's not working correctly on my phone. I can spawn wherever I want, but I can't walk at all. it's enough of an advantage, but I assume lots of people are doing it too.
>>27201734
I know, but still. I can't compete in gyms at all when my best mon is a 608 Cleffable and everyone and its mother has Pokémon in the 700-900 range. I don't even bother with those in the 1900s and their Vaporeons and Snorlaxs
>>27201742
I've been playing intensely, it's all I can say. Also, I bought some lucky eggs to give me a head start. I've used them to powerlevel while evolving common shitmon from my area like Caterpie, Weedle and Pidgey.
>>27201774
Same, what the fuck, Growlithes are probably the fire type that it's easiest to just be able to spawn everywhere, I want a fucking fire-type.
>>27201765
I live in a not-so-populated area.
Internet is a mess, it is full of little roads and mostly rural places.
And I live next to Florence, I say.
So, what should I do? Losing 8 levels would be annoying, my phone is not so powerful and...God, I don't want to restart everything because Niantic cannot control a password.
>>27201637
>>27201605
So is it better to save long distance eggs until a higher level because the Pokemon are rare?

That's because you spent money. Many are cheap/poor/purists and won't.

Now that might be fun.

If you want, but it's not like you don't get eggs all the time anyway. I hatch 2-4 eggs a day on my walks.
>>27201844
No I walked like 500 meters to get taco bellI don't have a proper phone to play this shit and I live in korea, blame nintedon't

A gym is placed in the VERY place where my house is.
END MY MISERABLE FUCKING LIFE I AM GOING TO CUT SOMEONE IF THESE GOD FORSAKEN SERVERS DONT COME ON SOON

Only the Google accounts seem to work so I made one of those. Is there anything you should do so that Google can't track where you are the entire time?

>implying

>pick up meal
>see these two in the area
It's one thing that the steps are still bugge, but I don't have time to hunt for either of them
>you have to have sex with someone of the opposite sex and post proof with pics or videos in the app to get a legendary
>orgies and rape everywhere in the streets, complete chaos
>legendaries disappear from your collection after 24 hours and you have to catch them again
sounds like a cool system to me, what do you think?
>>27201923
Turn off your GPS
>>27201864
I wouldn't. Only a handful of the 10km Pokemon are good for gyms and you can always get/hatch them again later on.
>>27201923
Turn off google tracking in location settings.

I swear I thought servers were down for 2 hours this morning to add servers or do SOMETHING to kinda fix them for a loaded weekend
..guess not.
Is there a new medal for catching Rattata now? it only started proccing for me today
>>27201935
It will finally get declining birth rates up.
>>27200587
What's even the point of the medals? I expected some kind of reward once you hit 3 stars/gold level but nope you get shit
Why even bother putting that I'm the game
>>27201913
I was able to go on for like ten minutes before it closed again
I will appreciate the footstep mechanic a fuckton more once its fixed. Hunting for pokemon using the nav radar alone is hell. I feel like a fucking aboriginal trying to hunt down a fleeting caribou
>>27201923
Turn the GPS off, but you won't be able to play
>hehehe goys you are forced to log with your Gmail accounts
>nice encounter you have, Sam, this evening. It would be painful if someone sent an email to Jessica, breaking you up
>hehehe goy, she left you. Keep on playing.
