>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.

>Some questions answered
http://pastebin.com/YP458esi (embed)
Feel free to add more.

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.

Holy fuck, just go fucking outside you cavedwelling fuck.

Just go to a Pokestop, spin the wheel and loot your 3-5 items. Mostly pokeballs.

Though with Evee it might help to keep multiples so you can do the different Eeveelutions, as soon as someone figures out how those work.

Is that all it is? I assumed there was more to it.

The weather is shit I was just wondering if it ws worth the 5 minute walk, apparently it isn't so fuck you.

All submissions have been frozen since last September, and are not being processed chronologically, but rather "at Niantic's discretion" because Niantic decided they wanted to focus on "rural regions".

Niantic said they processed about 24 million points or something. Most people still have portal reqs. backlogged by a year to two years. So yeah, it's a pretty big wait list.

Tackle is subjectively better.

When entering a Gym, if another player from your team enters at the same time, the two players will fight the Pokemon together. This makes it much easier to stay in control of the battle and win Gyms without going through your whole lineup of fighters.

>in battle, tapping will do the top 'regular' attack
>this will charge the bottom attack
>when charged, hold down a sec to use the special
>more then 1 block charged just mean you can use it more than once, not more power

Locations of stops & gyms are based on Niantics previous game, Ingress. You can't add any new locations.

Pokemon of the same species have the same stats at a certain cp level. There might be a slight difference between xs/normal/xl, not yet confirmed.

Movesets change between evolutions, so it's better to evolve one before pumping in dust, which is the hardest to collect.

If you have a pokemon in a gym (don't need to be leader) you can collect coins and dust every 21 hours, by tapping on the topright button in the shop. 10 coins 500 dust per gym you have a pokemon in, with a maximum of 100/5000 (you can own more but they are just a buffer for if you lose one).

Eggs won't count steps if you move over ~30kph (20mph). Higher km eggs can hatch more rare pokemon, but also any from lower eggs (my first 10km egg just hatched into eevee).
>>
>>147938886
why? its not interesting
>>
Is it normal for this game to not be able to detect my location but still have a very accurate depiction of my local surroundings? Is it normal to walk around an entire neighborhood and not see a single pokemon? Man, I'm sure glad I downloaded Pokemon Walking Simulator today.

There's a lot of information that should be in a wiki, even if pokemon location isn't one of them.

For example, possible movesets for every pokemon is a very important information to plan your stardust usage. Item drops from level ups would be great as well for people going f2p, it would allow them to plan around their Lucky Eggs.

No one cared what moves they had in gen 1. If you found something better you just reraised the new pokemon to be your main and replaced the old one.

Just fucking play the game. It's fun

It's not in the database until after you catch it apparently, not until you find it like it was previously stated

There is no overarching objective. The game is designed to be simple and basically "open ended". People have to make their own objectives basically, "control a gym" or "wait for niantic to make an event and get a legendary" or "catch all the pokemon"

One of the gyms I went to yesterday was a circular sidewalk pillar at a mall

Old time ingress players used any excuse to create portals in their home/office/along the commute, so you get some random stuff. Niantic actually used only about half of portals for pokestop, so it could be worse.
>>
>>147940816
People joke but I actually went on a walk with a girl from my class to catch pokemon. I saw her on the app and talked with her about it. Had an hour to kill between classes and went to catch some mons together, got her digits as well.

Leveling to 5 is very easy. Leveling to 10 is completely possible in a day or so. Leveling to 20 has already been done.
>>
>>147941054
desu thats probably true aslong as you're not autistic with the game.

If you control a gym in a small town it means you, presumably have a friend group, car, and a hobby you're good at.
aka socially well adjusted.
(only applies to college and highschoolers. If you're high 20s then its weird)

So is it better to power up a pokemon with candies before evolving them, or does it not matter? I'm guessing powering up just boosts their CP, right?

Also, android camera bugs make this game kinda weird sometimes. Fuckin Weepinbell sent me to the shadow realm.

What the fuck is up with pokemon spawns?

I drive to work, which is in a city near a river, and roll in all fucking sorts of rare ass pokemon sitting at my desk.

I walk all over where I live, in a city near a river, and even walking through the woods all I get are pidgeys and weedles every ten minutes.

People on reddit had compiled information from the beta test basically in terms of how to use pokespots and lucky eggs properly in order to maximize exp. Otherwise, it's a matter of knowing how to trade gyms quickly, and train for exp. Catching new pokemon and hatching eggs is part of it, but those take a fair bit more time. Well the latter anyways. We have an anon here who is 20, so he can explain better.

And yeah if you live in a rural region, you're fucked.

By playing excessively? Because if not, then how?

That's 54,000XP right? So either you're visiting 1,080 stops, or catching a metric assload of pokemon.
>>
>>147942441
One way I found was evolving weedles/pidgeys/rattatas while you have a lucky egg going. Each evolution gives you 1k exp with the egg, so if youve been catching enough shitmon you'll be able to level up once or twice off an egg

>>147942807
I'm 12, took ~a day.

Sat at a stop doing work on my laptop, collecting pokeballs for a while. People kept using lures since it was a coffeshop, so caught all the pidgeys, rattattas, and other trash.

Saved them until I could evo like 20, popped a lucky egg, and evoed them all. Every evo is 500 normally, 1000 with an egg.
>>
>>147942807
Every new pokemon you catch is 600 exp, every single pokemon you already had is 100, every good throw is 10/50/100, every egg and evolving also gives you a shitton of exp

>>147941661
>>147942441
1) Capture every pokemon you don't have yet for the new dex entry XP
2) Hatch all eggs you get
3) If you have limited pokeballs/live far from pokestops, only catch duplicates of extremely common pokemon. Sell some of the duplicates and mass evolve the ones left (you can sell them after evolving as well).
4) Don't use incense until you are at least level 7
5) Don't use candies to power up either, just focus on evolving

I think this is the best way to grind levels if you live far from gyms and pokestops.

you're doing it the wrong way around.

evolving changes moveset, so you should evolve first and then power up to preserve your stardust.

it makes no difference if you power up first and then evolve or the other way around.
