Why Do I Always Have To Make The Threads edition

>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/spEFYmPw
Feel free to add more to the pastebin, keep it in the OP though.
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.

Now what?
>the only pokestop I can see from my house is in such a shitty, hard to get to spot that it's not even worth going there
At least I have one, I hear stories of people who can't find stops for miles.
INSTINCT OR EXTINCT
Reminder to claim your gyms at night while the servers actually work and the normies are in bed
Rate my failure
Am I the only one with box space issues? Maybe because yesterday I ranked up from 10 to 13 in half an hour, I don't know what to trash
The question is, what's the best amount of every item? I'm leaning towards trashing pokeballs and potions since I also get their super counterpart, I'd keep around 100 normal pokeballs and 20 potions
Does that sound good?
>tfw really good at finding 3 footprint mon with my secret method
Must suck being shit at this game
>>148108537
buy lucky eggs, incense, and lures
youll get plenty of balls from stops
go find somewhere where you can have multiple stops touching your proximity and lure them up with lucky egg and incense up and lvl and catch nonstop pokemon
also evolve all of your pokemon while lucky eggs are up for crazy lvls
>>148108368
I had some autistic girl come up to me and start talking about every pokestop she had seen.
Some asian bro came up and talked for like an hour.
I stay away from the couples.
>>148108359
Yes. Only cap gyms to gain defender bonus, and other than that ignore it and focus on upping your rank. When you're above 15, you can reconsider your position and decide if you want to try a bit of base flipping.
Gyms are good for only 2 things: defender bonus (pokecoins) and xp (from flipping). The former you can only get once a day basically, the latter you need to spend dedicated time sitting at the gym. This can become counterproductive to rank grinding if you aren't also close to a pokestop and catching pokemon.
I want to catch him so much but it's cold outside
I hope I find him again someday
>1000 CP Hypno can barely beat a 600 CP pidgeot
what le fuck
Going to the city for the first time tomorrow. Any tips to get most out of pokestops, allied gyms and enemy gyms? Any tips to avoid talking to people who try to strike up conversation with me based on the game I'm playing?
>>148108619
yeah sounds like plenty
also idk about you but i dont use revives all that often either
>>148108619
If you do not run gyms, do not keep potions. If your local gyms are easy caps and you don't have anybody trying to squat in a gym, use sacrificials to keep the damage down if you take damage. Pokeballs. Lures. Essence. Lucky Egg. Concentrate on hoarding those items until you get higher rank.

I had to get more backpack space.
>>148108686
>Any tips to avoid talking to people
This is most of the fun. I set a lure in an empty mall and within 10 minutes about 20 people were there playing.
Some girl approached and started talking to some guy.
Maybe they will get married because my lure. Who knows.
>>148108686
just tell them you caught some crazy ass rhyhorn two blocks away and theyll leave you alone
also if you want the most out of stops you need to lure them and use incense and the lure will also lure people to you so you will be standing there with them awkwardly if you cant be bothered to talk to them
>>148108795
Should've unzipped your Gyrados right there my man
Sorry for the stupid question, I couldn't find this in the faq.
I caught a Pidgey and a Pidgeot yesterday, and I would like to give one of them back in exchange for candies and stardust.
Pidgey is CP 10 and Pidgeot is CP 14. Does it mean Pidgey has more potential for growth, or should I keep the Pidgeot since it is already evolved?
>>148108671
Movesets matter. CP is only a HP gauge, you still need movesets for the attack. Rank grinding for CP is advised because movesets remain relatively consistent. When you're at the point where your CP plateaus out a little, then you can focus on grinding pokes for movesets.
>>148108831
>Some girl approached and started talking to some guy.
KEKEDBut no seriously that sounds hella cute
This is me at the end of today, working a 48 hour week but trying my best to keep up on my off hours. God I'm tired

dude if you fuck up you can literally just leave and never see them again
you might as well use them as trials and see how to act even though just talking with them like a normal person is all they want anyway
>>148108917
Oh man, I could add a bunch to that using Bluestacks but too lazy.
>>148108686
Headphones. Keep music on. Don't bother with eye contact. If you make yourself unapproachable, people won't approach you.
The optimal pokestop is literally just to find an area with a cluster of them, sit down, and camp. You can try playing around with gyms to get a feel for the surroundings, but if your rank is low don't expect much.
So I didn't get murdered collecting pokeballs at the park but this happened and it's kinda like getting murdered except I get to sleep on it
>>148108884
Toss both, the materials required to level it compared to catching one at 50 or 100 or 300 or 1k+ is wasteful and ridiculous.
Just catch stuff, stuff that has a low evolution cost keep and evolve asap for more points to level fast.
>>148108770
OH MAN
Some celeb like Kanye is going to call pokemon go gay and everyone is going to parrot him.
You'll have to hide this shit like a nintendo ds unless you want to be called a fag.
You know it's coming.
>Oh, he's still playing that and not candy crush screaming man castle siege 2? What a FAG!
So I'm trying to use Bluestacks to emulate Pokemon Go since I don't own a Smartphone. But I'm stuck on getting "Fake GPS 4.6" since it apparently costs 2€ to get. What do I do?

>>148108997
But I really do have a method
Ive caught 5/6 three step mon that I've set out to get with it, one was in somebody's fucking garden
>>148108884
>Does it mean Pidgey has more potential for growth, or should I keep the Pidgeot since it is already evolved?
Pidgey will have a higher CP cap than the Pidgeot because evolution attaches a CP multiplier. You can try this by evoing the Pidgey into Pidgeotto and see the results.
Drop the Pidgeot for candy.
>>148108884
early on nothing is worth lvling, save all your dust for when you are much higher trainer lvl
you will want to stock up on candies for evolving your pidgeys all at once while you have a lucky egg up which gives double xp
youll shoot up tons of lvls fast that way
>>148108917
Whoever is in Arnold, MO...I'm the guy by Gravois Bluffs.
>>148109031
Thanks.
Any idea how to get squirtle candies? Since clearly I can't just go around catching more of them.
>>148109086
The sonar thing around the box?
Yeah.
Want a tip no one knows about?
double tap and hold to zoom by moving finger up and down.
No more pinching while driving.
>>148108917
Is this /pgg/ only or is it from reddit?
>>148109086
Prove it then bitch.
>>148108770
WHAT THE FUCK IS THAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT YOU AUTISTIC SON OF A BITCH
>>148109124
You can, you're just not in the right area to find them. Plenty of pokemon show up in the wild that wouldn't in the games, like Dragonite, Arcanine, Scyther, Lapras, starters, etc.
>>148108770
i hope that hurtsi mean being aligned with that
>>148109124
By catching Squirtles, Warturtles, or Blastoise.
Candies from base evolution are used for the whole evolution tree.
So to evolve pidgeys you need to catch'em or their evolved states to get their candies.
>>148109154
Both.
It's to collect data on spawn locations so you don't drive 5 hours to go to a town that has exactly what you have at home.
If the game is acting up is there a way to tell if it's the severs or a soft ban?
So what's the max trainer level in this game? Someone in a thread from a few days ago said it was 25?
>>148108795
was she a qt?
>>148109152
>The sonar thing around the box?
what?
the nearby menu? I see it pinging sometimes, what do?
post your face when you realise they modelled professor willow on this guy
Is there any way to change the attack/charge attack on my pokemon or is it completely random?
>>148109282
Beta was 50, IGN rumors 50, we only have xp projections up to 25. Wait a couple days to a week for the grinders to hit 25 (they're at about 22) and we'll see then.
>>148109282
beta players say 50
>>148109326

>>148109305
some weirdo in an article said that wanted to fuck willow, and call him daddy. is daddy a new thing or just awk women being cucks?
>vaporeon outside, 3 footsteps away
It's go time.
"If you tap the pokeballs that you missed before they disappear you get them back"
Did anyone confirm this or is it bs?
>>148109326
That's what you really want to grind for. Attacks not CP. CP comes with levels, attacks are what makes a good or bad catch.
>>148109282
It's 20.
They're going to be increase the level cap with each generation for new items.
>>148109304
pretty sure the ping means it updated info on either new pokemon or the distance of ones already there
>>148109304
>I see it pinging sometimes
It's supposed to blink when you're headed in the right direction, but it does it by general direction.
If it's north and you head north east mostly east, it will still ping.
I've been walking around a mall parking lot trying to figure it out.
The 1hp gym bug is game breaking for me after trying at least 12 different gyms around DC. Wasn't able to take one until 3:45 am.
On the upside found a Scyther.
>>148109152
>>148109154
>prove it
1. Get a 3 step mon to appear on your radar
2. Where you are know is the 'base point'
3. Walk in a straight line in one direction
4. If it decreases to two, set up a new base point
5. If it doesn't decrease to 2 or vanishes, return to your first base point and walk in a different direction
6. When it reaches one step, walk in a straight line between your first base point and where you are now
7. Collect pokemon
Works literally every time for me
3 step mon are sometimes far away but if you autistically search like this it's easy
>>148109406
Anon we already have people past 20 pls just stop.
>>148109395
its definitely bs, you get plenty of balls from stops no reason for that to be a feature
unless you live out in the sticks i guess
did you find it at that CP? What level are u bro
>>148109381
>tfw you will never get a qt sad girl to call you daddy
>>148109282
I'm 20 now, it's still going up
>>148109417
might have to test tomorrow, but hopefully they'll not stuck in high rises
>>148109410
I was following a charmeleon last night and an aerodactyl this morning when it updated and disappeared on me, is there a time limit?
Is egg cp determined by player rank when it hatches or when u get the egg?
>>148109395
I tried it and it worked, I think. I can't fully confirm until I try it at least two more times succesfully.

Yeah go check on it when you see sparks flying a dork then beat their ass to death before they can win
>>148109534
i think the pokemon that are not the "commons" for the area have a timer on how long they will stay in the area, seems to be about 10 to 15 minutes from what i have experienced
Someone gimme a place in NY that they are near or close to and I will tell you what Pokemon are nearby.
>>148109593
He's basically describing a sort of manual triangulation. Picture yourself as the center point of a compass, move out in each cardinal direction, confirming each time whether the target footprints shift. If they do, narrow it down by repeating the procedure, otherwise, follow another cardinal direction.

Sometimes my avatar just wonders around when not moving and can access other pokestops/increase egg movement. Any idea what causes this? Would be nice if i can hatch my eggs this way.
>>148109609
sorry senpai, i havent noticed being able to interact with the balls after a toss so i think its a no but someone said they did it so guess you gotta just try it out
>>148109220
Rumors and lies have told me that everywhere has the same thing it just depends on your trainer level

You need to unzip your dick
>>148109738
your gps is just drifting you because it cant find your exact location but it does count as walking so just enjoy the free egg hatches
>>148109746
I think they mean if you know you missed for sure and you tap the pokeball before it goes offscreen you get it back.
I think you need good reflexes tho.
>>148109778

Welcome to the grind.
Just got to campus. This is going to be a fun day.
Those two gyms in the distance is only the middle of campus as well. Still a load more further in the distance.
>"The generation 2 patch will drop in late August or early September. We do not have a set date yet, but we plan on introducing a trading system, a dueling system while adding over 100 new Pokemon, cosmetics, two new Pokeballs made specifically for capturing XS and XL Pokemon and ethers which will allow Pokemon to quickly charge their special attacks."

If the battling system remains as simplistic as it is, then realistically adding new pokemon is basically just cosmetic, whether it is 100 new pokemon or 500 new pokemon. Also if PVP turns out to be basically the gym battle AI except with a friend that'll be hilarious.
>>148110319
To be fair they'll probably just stick a couple of extra servers on once the microtransaction money rolls in.
I am considering renting a local theater and doing a marathon of the first 3 Pokémon movies. The theater is Pokéspot so we could set up non-stop lures.
The game isn't officially out in my country but I've talked to dozens of people playing it. Do you think I should wait until the game is officially released before I do this? How illegal would it be to show the films?
Yes, I am team Team Aumystic
Is there a cp cap or falloff of some sort?
Yesterday there was a 100 level difference between me and the local gym, now there's a 300 level difference.
Would a bunch of dudes with cp 500 pokemon be able to defeat a gym with cp 1000 pokemon?
White House belongs to me for the time being.

>>148110430
CP cap is tentatively based on Trainer Cap. Highest pokemon we've seen so far is a little over 2k CP. The guy was level 21. Highest in the beta I saw was at 3.4k.
Yes, a bunch of 500 cp pokes can overwhelm a 1k cp poke, especially if the 1k cp poke has a bad moveset.

Post rosters.
>>148110430
you can widdle down a higher gym if you can defeat atleast their first pokemon because that will lower their rep and if you can knock it down a lvl itll drop the lowest pokemon out until you just kick them all out
also you get 6 pokemon against what is usually just 2-4 in the gym so really as long as you play the type counters youll be able to get it

Gym is located right beside the office I work, just out of reach from my desk.

It's not an asshole sentence it's just awkward as fuck. Imagine some guy on the street walks up to you and says "you're welcome for the lure". Chances are you'd think to yourself "what the fuck is this guy on?"

You have no idea how infuriating it is to travel out to a level 7 gym and beat out nearly the entire gym's pokemon just to get the 1hp bug on the gym leader's mon nullifying all your progress.
I feel like I should just ignore gyms and focus on catching pokemon and grinding my trainer level.

That's nothing, people are already level 25 in my city.

when we played last night some girl (we didn't find out until later) in a car pulled up and squatted the lure with us
then before she drove off she thanked us
today two dudes on bikes squatted our lure and we walked up to them trading stories.
first just ask if they're playing, then go from there, trade mon spawn stories, what you got from an egg. if you're on the same team you might get a number easier that way. otherwise, try to set up a gym flip crew or something.
>>148110980
>I feel like I should just ignore gyms and focus on catching pokemon and grinding my trainer level.
This is precisely what you should do. There's basically three things you can do in this game. Grind, catch random pokemon, or play in gyms. Except you're going to catch random pokemon as you grind anyways. But grinding makes playing in gyms far easier whereas playing in gyms only makes grinding slight faster. So grind first, gym later.
>>148110997
I'm dying
>>148110774
Works.
You are the reason everyone is gathered. It's like bringing the weed to share and implying they should next. You start the relationship with them in debt to you.
Now the key is to forget about it and never repeat it/bring it up again. You want the feeling, not the actual result.
>>148111039
>>148110997
thats probably the actual guys name
This game rapes my S5 so hard I got an S7E on upgrade just to play more than 20 mins.
>>148110985
either this game really makes crazy shit happen or it just spawned a whole new variety of things that never happened

Fuck off, I'd kill for a fucking Magmar.

>>148111179
What are 10km eggs likely to have?
I put one in my incubator, considering going for a long bike ride after work to get it hatched.
I play Pokemon Go with my qt sub girlfriend and we hold hands while we catch Pokemon together!
>>148111179
put that 10 on a blue incubator when you get one, farm 2s on your infincubator

Very rare Pokemon; reportedly Magmar, Snorlax, Lapras etc. They also give a generous amount of stardust and candies.
Any idea on how to control your Eeeve evolutions?
Has anyone found a fucking Diglett yet
>>148111370
Apparently the evolution type corresponds with their second move
Most of the gyms around my house seem to be blue, does it matter all that much which side I choose?
>>148111084
The problem with gyms isn't the grind, it's the horrendus bugs. I'm literally pissing my time away trying to take down gyms fighting in battles the game won't even let me complete when I could be hanging around lures catching pokemon. Even if I have pokemon twice the CP level of the gym's leader it doesn't matter, the game decides to just fuck you over and there's nothing you can do about it
Maybe it's my fault for not picking a more popular team, but I'm sure gym battles are going to be a lot less fun once the game isn't as new and gyms are dominated by autists and powerleveling whales. I mean that's kinda already the case, but it'll probably get worse as time goes on.
Just spend an hour looking for a porygon. Could not find the fucker and then I refreshed the app and he was gone
Pretty sad
>>148111398
Yeah go to the hood loads of diglets and mankeys
Hey guys just found team valor and mystic gyms
Alright, guys. Need some help. So I have 151 CP Ekans, does evolution to Arbok give enough gains to warrant evolution, or should I just wait 'till I find an Arbok @ A higher level. I evolution-ized my Pidgeotto @ level 230 and only got a Pidgeot @ 434. Is there any way to calculate for mad gains?
>>148111434
Is there any indication at all in what direction you're supposed to go? I've never had the "nearby" thing help me.
>tfw no UK release in sight
Should I just download the APK?
I dont wanna get banned
>>148111412
not really, you can train on gyms that are enemy or ally
in enemy gyms you get a team of 6 to use and fight them all while an ally gym gives you one to use to fight them all but you will either bring rep up or down for winning depending if its your teams or an enemies
most of the xp is from catching and evolving though and gyms are bugged to hell right now and not really worth the trouble unless you really want the pokecoin bonus and sitting near them anyway by a stop
>>148108889
Where did you get a dragonite? :(
How do I 'visit' a Pokestop?
I've been sitting at one for 30 minutes now and I've gotten no items or any progress on the medal.
>>148111258
You're much more likely to get rare/very rare pokemon. But you may even find trashmon if you're unlucky.
>>148111482
I don't see how they'd realistically ban you for that, it would rob them of a chance for revenue.
For catching, is missing random?
Are you supposed to throw when the circle is large or small?
Do the leaves mean anything?
Does "nearby" have any indicator aside from a vague sphere?
>>148111529
MY SIDES
tap the stop
spin the coin
>>148109436
>Ted Cruz
Kek
>>148111473
Nope. I heard that if he's closer to the top of the nearby list you're going the right way.
Sometimes the gps updates so slow that it messes you up.
>>148111482
If you don't want to get banned the day it releases, don't download the apk fool
I live about 5min walk away from The Royal Botanic Gardens, fun place to grind. I wish I could stay connected to the server for longer than 20min though.
>>148111467
lvl gains and catches literally use your trainer lvl and a random number generator. you are meant to go through hundreds of pokemon and be a high trainer lvl before you get somethign worth keeping
>>148111529
>>148111557
I had the same experience trying it for the first time yesterday.
Was staring at my phone for five minutes when this guy rode by on his bike and said "spin it".
>>148111415
Welcome to Ingress. The behavior you described is completely normal. Better yet, since most new players don't understand the limited influence of CP, they'll look at 2k - 3k CP and think "I'll never get there" and probably just stop right then and there.
Eventually the system stabilizes as everyone hits the cap, and Niantic will design updates and caps with these people in mind, after all, most of them are the ones who actually pay and play the most.
>>148111575
I went slowly driving around my neighborhood (no cars cause it's 1-3 am) and never had server issues.
Why does it take so long to level up a level 1 Gym I just want to join
>>148109849
Anyway to make it so gps can't find your exact location so as to safely abuse this?
>>148111529
baka desu senpai
>>148111632
Because gyms are the only way to get p2w currency without real money so it gets the least attention.

Where's the map to see all the pokestops around you? I don't live close enough to a large grouping so I'll have to see where to drive out.
Probably the french quarter but still
>>148111628
I can bearly stay connected and when I disconnect I usually spend the next 30min restarting the app and my phone. I feel like I'm having this problem more than others but I'm not sure why. It's making it hard to keep up.

Try to pick the team your friends are on. That matters a lot more than whichever team is dominating your local gyms, especially since it's a lot harder to train and join a gym than it is to conquer it.
>>148111398
I found a diglett in my city randomly. Also there's a pic floating around on the internet of some dude finding a diglett on his crotch.
>>148111643
i tried throwing my gps into low accuracy mode which is just the powersaving modes your phone should have, but it woud usally make the game stop working for me buty ou could give it a try and just hope it keeps resetting your position
Any of you fuckos from in or around Belfast, Northern Ireland?

This only works if you're in the woods or an open field or parking lot where you can move around freely. I live in a city and basically ignore the pokemon tracker entirely, unless someone else around me is playing and calls out the pokemon location.
