Reminder that all of the stops were imported directly from Ingress. That's how they have so many already.
In Ingress you can actually take pictures of landmarks and request for them to be made into areas of interest.
I haven't tried it yet because I uninstalled Ingress a long time ago and I'm already in a very stop-heavy city, but if any of you anons in barren areas want more stops, I think it's worth a shot to request some in Ingress and see if GO is still borrowing from that database. I have no reason to believe they aren't still.

man, i was just having a conversation like this with a friend last night.
"dude, mi phone says there's a few good catches a few blocks away from home, but it's in the park, and it's almost midnight. no fucking way i'm getting mugged, beaten and fucked for some pokemanz"
we had a good laugh and called it a day. and then i realize there's people stupid enough in this world to walk into no-go places for pokemanz.

No it's not since walking does jack shit as exercise.
As someone who was in a school until recently I can assure you walking does nothing but bad for obese kids, they think because they walk home every day they can eat whatever they want and they slowly get fatter over the years.
That was nearly every fat kid in my school, walking is just an excuse to eat for these people.

This is hopefully bait, but if anyone really believes this you're a fucking retard.

If big companies are allowed to just buy out the lowest common denominator of people using the internet, then no startup will be allowed to flourish.

Are you kidding me? Everyone's first fear is that companies will charge for data usage based on deals with other companies. Check that image we're talking about here. Literally deals with fucking facebook and twitter. This hands down proves that anyone for net neutrality is correct. If it's not stopped, it will happen as soon as it can happen. It's in the best interest of companies to collude and fuck over consumers.

>colluding in the manner you're speaking of is already illegal and has nothing to do with net neutrality
The problem is nothing is being done about it. The problem is it ISN'T illegal, and competition IS illegal in many parts of the US. Companies have bought out local governments. They've set it up so that you cannot share lines with them and are not allowed to make your own lines. It's awful, and if you don't understand this you are very uneducated.

>As if they're jacking the price up on other packages arbitrarily?
That's not the point, and I never said that. Consider suicide.

I found the Ponyta wild at 219, it appeared as a ??? kinda shit myself when I caught it on first try.

I spent some essence on the Eevee, because while I love Leafeon and am not even sure if it's in the game, I'm hoping for one. Regardless, I'll love whatever it evolves into.

>Gee wiz maybe that's the problem and should be fixed instead of fucking over investment into internet infastructure
Those are two different, but related, problems. Yes, it should be fixed. I never argued otherwise? It'd be great if ISPs couldn't just pay off a bunch of politicians and suddenly have total monopoly over a city/state. Or, if they can't get their way end up colluding with neighboring ISPs and eventually wall off territories anyways. But, that's not the way it works. It sucks, but it is what it is. And it won't change unless we have rioting in the streets over it. The problem is no one cares enough, because at the end of the day they can watch their fucking youtube videos and scroll through facebook feeds. It's disgusting.

What the fuck is wrong with combat system? Do defending pokemon get a ridiculous buff or something?
I put up an Oddish into a gym and the attack it with a Zubat of approximately the same CP. I keep mashing and attacking faster than Oddish and Oddish is using Razor Leaf which is 1/4 to Zubat. Still, Zubat gets rekt immediately and Oddish is at more than half HP. Same then happens with Pidgeot of better CP and Drowzee attacking with Psywave.

Its pretty buggy and the placement of gyms and pokestops would make me look like a pedophile for going there.
Had the game freeze, had the capture mode stop working forcing me to restart, my pokestop and gym are an elementary school. Walked around for 2 hours but found the best pokes at my house because its some random hotspot for rares.
-Not enough pokestops and gyms
-no real gameplay
-gym battles are just "tap the screen super fast"
On the plus side I found a Golem while taking a really big shit. Decided to check my phone and there he was, in the bathroom with me.
Caught that fucker with a curveball bonus.

631 KB, 728x1314
Well I just got done walking around the upper east side of Manhattan for 20 minutes trying to catch pokemon like a retard at 2 in the morning. Was surreal to say the least.
Took me forever just to log in and once I did I had to restart the app several times due to frequent hangs and unresponsiveness. Someone else said earlier this was par for the coruse with gatcha-style apps but holy fuck is this shit buggy.

Which is sad because I kinda like their take on geocaching games, just wish they didn't half ass it. At least I got good at catching ZUBATS, those fuckers were hard as shit to hit when I first started. Though I managed to catch every other pokemon on the first try. Also all the gyms around me are already taken, I thought this shit just came out?

>>344126937
I'm sure I'll be able to evolve a ZUBAT walking around for an hour or two going by the rate it's throwing them at me.

>>344127254
I saw plenty of ZUBATS 1 and 2 steps away, but most of the other pokemon were usually 3 steps.

>>344127230
The closest gym to me is literally a gay bar around my block.
