>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.

Basic info:
As you traverse the real world, as represented on the in-game map, you'll occasionally run into tufts of rustling grass. Approaching these will end with a Pokémon appearing on the map, and clicking on it will initiate a battle.

Battles aren't between two Pokémon, though. They're between a Pokémon and your ability to swipe a Poké Ball in their direction. When you engage a Poké Ball, a colored ring will appear around the opponent. These change in size after each capture attempt. Throwing a Ball during a smaller window seems to be more effective, based on our time with the game, but that's a part we're still trying to figure out.
Going near water will attract water Pokémon. Playing at night brings out more nocturnal creatures, like Clefairy and Gastly.
Hatching Eggs: Each Egg displays the number of kilometers you must walk for the Egg to hatch. In general, the more kilometers required, the rarer the Pokémon that will hatch. A notification will appear when the Egg has hatched.
Make sure you have the Pokémon GO app open while you walk. Kilometers walked when the Pokémon GO app is closed won’t count toward hatching your Eggs.
Gyms: Fight at your team's gym to train and increase it's reputation. Fight at other team's to decrease their reputation. Tap your opponent to hit them, swipe left or right to dodge attacks, once one or more blue bars are filled, tap and hold to power up your secondary attack, release when the smaller blue bar fills up. Take over other teams' gyms and put your mons in to defend them.

Is there a strategy for the "perfect throw"?

I get that you need to hit in pokemon in the circle, but the ball always seems to fall short or go too long, takes me 5-7 pokeballs to get something
>>
>>147801935
just getting used to it, really
putting spin on the ball helps a lot too.

>>147802160

Pretend the ball is a ball,

Rotate ball with thumb, and ball rotates
>>
How do you get pokecoins? Or do you actually have to pay for that
>>
>>147802442
You get max 100 free coins per 21h. You need to assign pokemon to a gym, then go to shop -> top right icon with a shield. You get 10 coins per pokemon, and once you click the icon, you'll have to wait 21h to claim your defender bonus again.

So there's never gonna be a classic Pokemon combat system in this right?

I think its been established. I am hoping we get a social/trade system in the coming months. Im sure nintendo knew what they were doing when they oversaw this project.

>>147805715
i'm mad about it for sure!
I want to be able to battle other players, trade pokemon, and be able to take my pokemon out and chill with them nintendogs style, but i bet its gonna be a fat minute before they decide to implement anything new
>>
>>147805715
Vocal part. Most people won't care after considering it's a mobage. Ingress players knew this would basically be Ingress v2, and when the non Ingress players can get a taste of Ingress

>>147805579
>>147805715
I don't think we'll ever get a battle system against wild pokemon. This game targets the casual mobile crowd not really hardcore pokemon fans. It wouldn't be so different from actual pokemon games if that was the case.

Fucking stardust, pokemon candies, thowing pokeballs, etc is retarded.

As someone who has never owned a smartphone would it be worth it to get one just for this as an excuse to get some exercise and leave my basement?

Yeah but I still dont understand what would be so bad as to have a normal combat system considering normal pokemon games arent that far away from mobage. I mean the combat system is not THAT complicated.
>>
>>147806007
>I mean the combat system is not THAT complicated.
NIntendo thinks otherwise. That's why we have the crap we do now.
>>
>>147804325
This game will be really boring on a PC, just a heads up
>>
>>147806007
>considering normal pokemon games arent that far away from mobage
By what standards? Most pokemon games are pretty different intention wise from mobage as a whole. The level of complexity as far as mobage should be mindnumbingly low, just so the barrier for entry is minimal, and anyone with a cell phone can play it.

PoGo's "flick and tap" mechanics are perfect. No real need for thought or strategy, just tap the screen and move around.
>>
>>147805835
Honestly wild poke battles are about the same level of complexity as trying to throw the ball in this game
>>
>>147806328
Well the gym battles are literally just "Tap a lot" so I don't see wild poke battles being much better. Right now with it being so fresh the novelty is still there, and it'll probably still be there until people start hitting a grind wall. If Niantic doesn't release updates in a timely manner to keep people interested, well people will drop off naturally. But even if they do, the crowd will still whittle down bit by bit.

Honestly right now I'm not sure what good the trade function will really even have. People have been reporting that they and their friends in the same area see about the same pokemon, and it's not like there's really complex stat mechanics or trade evolutions in this game. It's a nice social option, but it feels pretty cosmetic in concept.

Are the "burst of leaves" the grass patches people keep talking about?
>>
>>147807587
You see grass burst up from the ground around the map, these are pokemon lurking around
>>
Okay, what the fuck does "tufts of rustling grass" mean, because I've never seen anything I would describe like that, and Pokemon just seem to appear randomly when I walk places. Neither me or my two siblings, who are both playing, have seen anything like that to my knowledge.

Occasionally, I'll see little dust devils made of leaves pop up on my map in tallgrass areas. I thought those didn't do anything, but are those what "tufts of rustling grass" are?

What the fuck are you guys talking about?

bug, fine, whatever.

where when you go to kill them, they get stuck at 1hp, and you can't hurt them anymore and they stop attacking, then the timer runs out, but nothing happens, and you get stuck in the fight, so you restart the app and you're back to before you started the fight, and if you try it again the same thing happens.

The issue is with the available spaces. There are bonuses to both. Naturally defender bonuses make holding the fort way better. Ideally what he should do is pick a different team and then cement dominance with his own crew.

Stupid question probably but I have a cheap smartphone because I don't use it as much as most people.

My current phone is a Kyocera Hydro View and it works OK, but the memory is pretty shitty and the AR simply wont work at all. I also think the GPS is dodgy and its affecting the game


I use Cricket and was wondering what phone would be good for this game thats under $200. Only requirement is that its an Android and will generally be decent with other games.

Transferring gives you 1 pokemon candy per pokemon transferred

Transferring basically deletes the Pokemon and gives you one candy for that Pokemon. So you catch a two Pidgeys, release one, and you'll have more candies with which to beef up the other.

I'll be surprised if player trading and battling isn't introduced eventually.

I don't expect a "real" battle system, though Ninty have said they will listen to feedback on this so kick up enough of a fuss and maybe it will be a toggelable option or something.

I like the throwing ball minigame though so piss off lad

>About a mile and a half away, there is a church campus area that has 4 poke stops and a gym. They are a prayer wall, where you can write prayers and hang them up. A garden. A preschool. A memorial for some dead couple, and the church itself.

I didn't want to get mistaken for a pedo, but I only had 3 pokeballs left, so I stayed there until I farmed 80 pokeballs and took the gym. Luckily the school hadn't opened yet, but the construction workers were judging the fuck out of me.

Don't do either, keep catching pokemon for trainer XP. Wait until you find pokemon that have a good base CP before evolving. IE don't upgrade a 100 CP wild eevee, wait until you find one thats 200+, then focus on evolving it. The more evolves it has, the lower you can settle for, so like a 150 pidgy is probably ok.
