>About the game
http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-go/

>What is it?
Pokemon Go can be described simply as the Geocaching of Pokemon. Grab your smartphone, get some exercise, catch some mons, battle some people - the usual Pokemon gig.

Went out for like 15 minutes with my sister

Hit a pokestop, got an egg and pidgey

you have to be level five to put pokemon in a gym. If your team already owns it your pokemon goes straight in, if a different team owns it you have to beat their pokemon and kick them out.

Whoever has the strongest pokemon in the gym becomes the gym leader.

it's about as good at wasting time as anything else. It doesn't actually play like pokemon, so don't expect a pokemon game. It's pretty much just Ingress with a slight tech update on some things, the same level of service and tech support, and a pokemon color scheme and paint job.

So I walked about 5 miles to the nearest Pokestop, and the only thing it offered was for me to add in a module (which I didn't have). At a certain point the game told me to "go to a Pokestop" but the notification went away when my app crashed.

Did I miss a tutorial? What are Pokestops for and what do they offer? Currently level 4.
>>
questions
1. Should I be catching every pokemon I encounter to boost my levels and the CP of my pokemon? Do the pokeballs you receive allow you to do this indefinitely?
2. Is there a way to view a map of my city, which I live some distance from such that I cant see it on my pokemon go map while I'm at home?
>>
>>147686067

I went out with my mates and patrolled our Uni. We met up with some random bloke who controlled all 4 of the gyms there with a team of like 6 level 300+ Golbats and Kinglers

this is seriously the most fun ive ever had in a phone game ever
>>
>>147686067
"This is a pokestop. It is a real world location where you can find poke balls and other items. The pokestop will change its shape when you walk close enough. Tap it to interact with it. Spin the photo disc to generate items. Tap or swipe the items to collect them."

"This is a Gym. Teams battle for control of these real-world locations. Assign one of your pokemon to an open gym to claim it for your team. Strengthen a friendly Gym by assigning one of your pokemon to help defend it. Train the pokemon at a friendly Gym to increase the Gym's prestige and level. Challenge a rival Gym to lower its Prestige and level. During battle, swipe left or right to dodge incoming attacks."

go to 'tip's if you want to read it for yourself but thats exactly what it says

oh yeah and i found a gym at the top of the hill behind my house, in the middle of fucking nowhere. So i control a gym that literally no one is ever going to go to. So i'll get a smallish income of coins now right? or do i actively need to be defending my gym?

To be fair, if you further read that very page it explains different culture and geographical definitions for continents, each of which is valid and widely accepted. Basically, your perception of what a continent is has a lot to do with where you grew up/learned geography in the first place, as different continent models are taught in different places.

Fucking hell, galavanting around has got me so many Pokeballs I hit the inventory limit. (each SINGLE pokeball counts against your 350 item limit)
I've been having to waste 10 or so when catching shitmons just so I've got room for potions.

I'm both glad and disappointed that the game knows the difference between walking and driving. My Eggs will never hatch at this rate.

It doesn't matter, the way it seems to work is: you send your geolocation to the server, the server bounces back and updates your avatar. It will most likely detect cheating immediately.

What happens when you have this thing on during a car ride? Do you go too fast to catch anything?

I'm going to try this tomorrow on a 4 hour road trip and see what happens

its possible, you just need to be really fast. and pokespots are impossible unless you come to a stop, youll go out of range too quickly

I was on the tram and caught like ten pokemon. It basically slingshots the mon to your ride and it stays until you capture it.

Your phone vibrates to alert you there is a Pokemon within reach. If you are quick enough to tap on it you can catch it, it won't go away even if you keep moving.

You can catch starters in the wild.

On my ride home I could see wild charmander near me, but since I was on the bus they were like half a block away.

Fuck, there are wild Alakazam and DoDrio at the park, but I don't want to be a weirdo, it's right next to the elementary. Should I use incense?

By just sitting in my bed I've been able to catch 12 completely different Pokemon. Fortunate to live in a geographically diverse area

Wouldn't the app find your location right when you installed it, effectively banning anyone trying to play it in countries its not available in yet?

WHAT DO

>>147698440
No incense. Don't want to waste it on basic Pokemon
>>
>>147698318
No because half of america sideloaded the apk and then niantic were like, "fuck, they're overloading the few servers we turned on, we better release it to the stores and turn the rest on", every hour it seemed like the servers were going down, then it stablized after that

So, no battling friends.
No need to weaken wild Pokemon before capture
No running around stomping wild Pokemon to level yours.
No trading
No pondering over move sets.

What the fuck makes this a Pokemon game other than the license to use names and images?

Damn, I was all excited too.

Let's talk legit Pokemon strategy here, people.

Only getting 2 moves is pretty huge. Type advantage is always in play, but you don't get 4 move types to counter a diverse range of Pokemon like in the handheld versions. This may make gym-busting a little difficult, since you can't have 1 Pokemon that can shit on most of the possible enemy types.

That said, anyone know of a good starter investment Pokemon? No I don't mean what's a good starter choice, I mean what Pokemon is worth investing dust/candy into in this game.

Currently I've ran into a CP-81 Oddish with Razor Leaf and Moonblast. It sounds like a solid starting point so I could get some poison/grass power going on with Vileplume.

Anyone begun making a good team yet on day 1?
>>
Is there even a friends list anywhere?
>>
>>147698613
Not every pokemon game is a franchise flagship. Neither is this one. You must have hated pinball.
>>
>>147698613
Every play Ingress? So far, reminds me of that game.
I'm guessing a lot of the "gameplay", or at least what the goal is, is going to be keeping gyms under your control with/without friends and raising the gym rank. Unless I have the idea wrong
>>
>>147698690
Psychic since this is gen 1 pokemon.
>>
>>147698613
literally mobile game kys
>>
>>147698613
You stomp gyms to level yours. Some wild mons with higher CP won't always be captured. I think someone said we'll get 1v1 eventually maybe.

This is pokemon skinned Ingress, made by the same company. Ingress was a "great success" so they decided to use the same model. Knowing niantic though don't expect many upgrades to anything at all, or at least don't expect to get any notice of them.

I like how it's not 100% the Pokemon formula. However, a friends list will be added later, along with the potential to trade.

>No pondering move sets
Wrong
>>
>>147698690
Your oddish evo line is fine but it gets absolutely walled by any fire type. I think Pidgey is the best 'early' pokemon because the types effective against it such as Ice, Rock, Electric are less common. It also gets STAB on flying and normal moves though I'm not sure if that's a mechanic in this game. I also think Water types could be pretty good, I've got a Krabby.
>>
For those using a shitty old android like myself you can still play it if you download the apk. It works just fine on my note 2.
>>
Anyone know the purpose of XS and XL mons?

I've caught a XS Sandshrew and my starter Squirtle is a fatass.
>>
>>147690235
Does that have an effect?
>>
At the moment this feels like some sort of flick skeeball game more than Pokemon.

I'm sorry, your point about flagship games hit the mark, my problem is I was expecting this to be a flagship game, like the direction the franchise was going.

This game drains my phone at a faster rate than it can even charge... This is going to be rough. It'll be hard to keep this app running while out and about.
Hopefully there is a way to get notifications of nearby pokemon even when the app isnt open. Although, now that I think about it, that doesn't make much sense.
>>
>>147699342
Ingress veterans know to always keep an external charger handy. Invest in one. Or a couple. Better go full IAP anon
>>
I caught my first non-starter pokemon while browsing this thread. Thanks, /vg/.
>>
My game crashed/server went down while I was supposed to be catching my starter. Now that I started again there is no starter pokemon. In fact there's nothing to catch. Great. You'd think they would test for a fatal bug like this especially when the server's will be going down all the time.

At first I laughed at anyone who thought about spending their money on that but looking at it now, it seems like not a bad idea. However, the shelf life of the average app is not long enough for me to shell out that money. If it were $15 or 20, maybe.
>>
>>147700005
i would much rather click a button than do that stupid ball throw bullshit if its a 100% chance to catch

>>147699847
Apparently there are less pokes to catch at night. Try tomorrow morning. Sucks that there's no pokestops or gyms though. Maybe your game is just being buggy?

It's a pretty good number. Check the bar above it to see how far it can go before being capped.
>>
>>147700005
I'd love to see what they add. Ingress had some pretty hardcore players and that was just with adults mostly. With this they've tapped into a much bigger audience (granted there's a lower attention span and less mobility though).

I'm not going to spend money unless I'm still playing this a couple months from now but I really hope they make me want to

>>147700073
It's not a 100% chance but yeah, it does sound better.

I was right on the mark. The price is $35

Are the trainer customization options really as boring as they seem? I can only change the color of hair, not hairstyle, for example.

>>147700091
It makes sense, less need to spawn because less people are looking.

Also they're probably trying not to send 12 year olds sneaking out of the house at 1 am because a dratini appeared a half mile away. (even though that should be the parent's responsibility to check)
>>
>>147700102
Nice catch. Go goomba stomp your nearest gym when you can
>>
>>147700307
You can change the hair, eye, and clothing color but not the styles.
