FAQ:
>What country has this game been released in?
Officially, Australia only.
>It says that the app is incompatible with my devices! What gives?
This is a region lock and it is very probable that your device IS in fact compatible with Pokemon GO.
>Is this game out for iOS yet?
No, and we do not know when it will be released.
Post yo teams
I am going to wait, how long till it comes to the otherworld?
If i make multiple accounts will i died?
>requires Android 4.4
>i have 4.1.2
i have no words...
... and no money.
Thanks, I was about to make this general to avoid filling the board with shitposting. Let me complement the OP for you a bit
>How do I download the game?
Go to https://apkpure.com/region-free-apk-download?e=LimitedRegion&lr=GB&p=com.nianticlabs.pokemongo and choose AUSTRALIA as your region. You will need a file manager on your phone. Get a file manager in the Google Play store.

Not released here. I will just play Dash instead. It's kind of thevsame game, isn't it? :(
Will I be able to play if my phone doesn't have a gyroscope?
>>26994226
Yeh
>Officially, Australia only.
>>26994219
I have android 4.2.1. So it wont work?
I got the apk and found this fucker walking home.
Just went on a little journey and caught an Exeggcute. My sister went with me, and we were able to both catch the same Exeggcute. I guess that's useful. People won't be beating each other up to catch a Mew if it appears.
EU WHEN
>>26994237
he slapped your gf's ass?
>>26994189
Why in the flying fuck do backwards hick kiwis and aussies get this shit first? Like, not even Japan yet?
I can only find rattatas and pidgeys near my house
>>26994250
Japan has it. Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. That's it.
>Live in tacoland
>no gyms, pokestops or anything at all for miles
>there's only poison, ground, rock and fire Pokémon around my area
Guess I'll GO to the US this weekend just for this game
So yesterday i caught like 10 mons without leaving my house but now that im outside i cant find shit, no nears pokemons, and the gym that i saw yesterday is gone.
Has any Eurofag downloaded the game? Does it work properly?
>>26994233
i've got 4.2.2 and it just gives me a blank green screen after the initial loading screen and "be aware of your surroundings"
>>26994275
Swiss here. It works fine.
>>26994275
Northern Ireland here, works fine. Friend in London has a lot of pokemon too
>>26994275
Frenchfag here, it works, I live in the middle of nowhere and there is a gym and a pokestop nearby
>>26994264
when you reach the frontier you see a big snorlax and can't progress
Game worked fine last night, had a bunch of pokestops nearby and was close to like 5 gyms.
But now map is totally empty, is it only me?
Argiefag here, if that helps.
Australia my ass, I'm playing here in Brazil!
Germanfag here. My friend downloaded an apk and has access to the full game but i installed the same apk and it wont find the location and or gps data. Gps is turned on wifi and data wise but the app doesnt get access to it. For some reason the app shows my location when im in wifi reach. LG G3 with Android 5.0
Can anyone help?
>>26994275
Dutchfag here, works great. Lots of pokestops & gyms around.
Been playing all day, have a few gyms around me.
Good fun.
Ama
I was playing just fine, but a ratata appeared and the game just stopped loading, closed it and when I opened the app again the game won't load any pokemon data. At all. I'm at work and wanna catch some before going back home.I'm from argentina
>>26994217
It would be extremely painful
I don't get this, how do you meet wild pokemon?
>>26994323
it's only the first gen?
>Was visiting stonehenge
>See Go has come out
>Install and everything
>Take the tour
>Fucking Regirock comes out
>Took me 40 pokeballs, had to spend real money to get more
>Fucking caught Regirock
Am I the first to have caught a legendary?
how do i get pass the catch a pokemon blue screen with charmander, bulbasaur and squirtle?
>>26994352
You either pay money for bait so they come to you, or you go walking around the real world until you run into one then throw a pokeball at it
Thats it. No battle, no challenge, no thought required.
>>26994354
Yes. Let the "muh bland animal pokymans" cries ensue.
>>26994318
Developer mode
Disable the thing that allows faked location
Apparently it works while driving, but you have to have the app open. I caught a Paras that way, but of course, I'm not the one driving.
>>26994299
Fucking kek
>>26994356
Gr8 b8 m8
>>26994359
Pick one and catch it
>>26994356
How do you earn coins? Gyms?
There's so little Pokemon in my area because I'm in the middle of nowhere.
>>26994307
Argiefag here
Can confirm that shit isnt working.
>>26994373
I can see already a lot of retardads driving and playing this
>>26994275
Spainfag here, all working perfectly and full of things
>>26994275
Got it in England. Too hungover to go looking for stuff though
>>26994382
>earn coins
You throw real money at the screen
>>26994383
Thanks bro, now I can stop trying.
>>26994272
>>26994307
Irishfag here. Literal same. Did they clamp it down overnight for non-area accounts? Still have the stuff I caught, but nothing new or stops or gyms appearing on the map now.
>>26994391
Ah, thought so... Was hoping there'd be a free option.
>>26994275
Works great in the UK.
>>26994374
>back to reality
>>26994399
They obviously gave up mid way through development, this is barebones as fuck and obviously made to milk as much money to cover costs before they drop it
>>26994403
How did you get it?
>>26994375
im clicking it and nothing happened
do i click hold it?
>>26994277
Where are you from? EU? Did it get officially released there? Im from EU and it tells me it has problems parsing the file.
>>26994419
Are you having trouble catching it or choosing one to catch?
>that name isn't available
FUCK
OFF
>>26994430
im clicking them but nothing happens
>>26994418
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/niantic-inc/pokemon-go/pokemon-go-0-29-0-release/pokemon-go-0-29-0-android-apk-download/
It's the safest site to download APKs from.
>>26994354
Yes, at E3 they said more gens will be added later.
how do I catch Moltres?
when you're catching a pokemon does the circle have to be big or small? or is it about the colours
>>26994263
What fucking time is it in that part of the world right now anyway? Aren't they all asleep?
>>26994436
If it won't let you choose one of them then you're game is fucked. But if did pick one then you have to flick the screen to throw a ball.
>>26994421
NA
and from here >>26994438
>>26994444
This
Also nice numbers senpai
i Was banned?
>>26994408
If you take over a gym and keep it you get coins every 20 hours, stop spreading disinfo you upside down fat limy cunt
>>26994465
I downloaded it but it won't let me install it idk why
In this situation, which should I keep? The Golbat came already evolved with much higher base CP, but seems to have worse moves, and I've heard Pokemon you catch already evolved are weaker than those you evolve yourself.
UK release when?
I'm in front of game freak building and theres not a single pokemons here lame as fuck
>asking me to actually fucking climb a mountain for a fucking cubone
WHY
H
Y
>>26994487
just download it from here >>26994438
>>26994477
And you lose fights even if someone has an absolutely shit weak pokemon because all they have to do is dodge all your attacks
So unless you live in the middle of fucking no where when no one is ever going to take over your gym you wont get coins
>>26994491
DO IT
FUCK YEAH, Growlithe
>>26994491
move your NEET ass!
>>26994473
>>26994307
>>26994396
>>26994383
Seems to be a recurring problem, I guess we just have to wait.
>Wanted to download the apk last night
>decided to just wait and the game would probably be out in the morning
>still not out yet.
fuck
Also, easy way to check if your phone is compatible, go into your settings and look for "About Phone" somewhere in there or something close to it. (this might only be on android, not sure what apple shit uses)
If you're not on 4.4 or higher, you can't download.By the way if you're android and you tap your version number you'll get a little easter egg. 4.4, Kitkat displays the Android logo in the KitKat font, Lollipop displays a lollipop and holding it will allow you to play a little version of flappy bird but with an android
The world is interested at FIFA or HALO and now all these nostalgicfags come back to play Pokemon, WHY????????? They must come back to their stupid games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>26994491
What are you, a pussy?
>>26994491
now you know what means to be a real trainer!
>>26994511
>muh secret club
>>26994496
>So unless you live in the middle of fucking no where when no one is ever going to take over your gym you wont get coins
Might work for me at least.
>>26994510
right, but you need 4.4.4 for it to actually run
or something's fucked on my end
Found this fucker in my shed
>still not out yet
when the fuck is it going to be released?
>nothing around me but Pidgey, Rattata and the occasional Caterpie
>tfw living on route 1 IRL
>>26994496
live in Africa bro, and I'm surrounded by equal red and blue. its been fun as fuck
OP stop fucking saying it's not released on iOS. It's on the App Store in Australia and Japan. Update the fucking post next time you copy and paste.
ppl on twitter keep saying it's gonna release in the U.S. today
So, surely you can re-catch the starters after the intro. How else can you get their delicious candy?
>>26994545
I mean, it probably will. It'd be weird if they didn't considering its out in other countries.
I figured it'd be out overnight, but it'll likely come around noon time.
>>26994496
>>So unless you live in the middle of fucking no where when no one is ever going to take over your gym you wont get coins
nice, I like it
>live in a city
>loads of pokespots and stuff
>impossible to keep a gym
>live in the middle of nowhere
>very few pokespots and gyms but it's easier to keep them for a longer amount of time
A moment of silence for all of us who have an old telephone, and will have to run around with an ipad
Please dont laugh, just understand our pain.
>works now
alright, whatever
there's a bulbusaur in my neighbor's back yard
>>26994491
>not being a trainer now he can
literally pussy
>>26994541
I had a swarm of Pidgey's just sitting in my bedroom and then suddenly a Growlithe. Map keeps saying I have Ekans and Sandshrew nearby but it's late and cold so they can wait.
>>26994550
already caught like 8 Charmanders today, not that rare.
>>26994550
I picked Squirtle as my starter and found a wild Bulbasaur in the backyard an hour later
Got it in England, only pidgeys and rattatas around here. Barely any gyms as well.
>>26994553
You can always buy a budget android phone. These are not very pricey most of the time.
>>26994564
>picked
What?
Visiting LA next week. I wonder what kind of pokemon i'll find in Compton.
So no Bans so far?
I hope it's good news
Permabans would be just too cruel
>>26994491
fucking pussy, jiggly and syria anon would be disappointed of you
>>26994562
>>26994564
Ah okay sweet, guess I'll keep looking.
>Live in a city near water
>Water pokemon for days
>Frequent bugs/electric/doduo
>rarely pidgey/ratata/grass
>Haven't seen one fire pokemon
I just want a Growlithe you fucks
>>26994580
Mankey, Grimer and Jynx
>>26994574
When the game starts it spawns a wild Charmander/Bulbasaur/Squirtle trio in your location. When you catch one the others go away
Functionally the same as picking your starter
Do you think downloading the Australian APK yeilds different Pokemon in your non-Australian location compared to waiting and downloading the local version?
it just came out in america
>>26994508
I reloaded and everything came back
>Live in small community in qld
>don't have any gyms or pokestops in 5km radius
>the map doesn't even recognise there is houses here
>is it even worth playing this game?
Is trading possible?
>>26994601
Don't lie to us.
How can i find out where other pokespots are?
Amerifat here. I tried using the AR camera mode and it won't show any Pokemon? What can I do to change that?
>>26994452
green yellow red indicates general difficulty says the guide. I've been trying to hit while large though mind you I haven't failed a catch yet regardless.
>>26994611
Do you never leave the community? I mean where do you work or go to school?
I went on my first walk in a while today.
I got 10 pokemon including a 101 cp Ponyta, Kinda weird since I live right by the water.
Are eggs entirely random what comes out of them? I got one egg and I just need .4 kilometers to get it open, probably gonna go out again later
>>26994592
>not primeape
I've never been so excited to catch a Paras
>>26994619
I wonder if there is a global map for pokespots and gyms, since the map is kinda small on the phone screen
anyone else notice shaking your phone or waving it around breaks the game? screen goes to black then when it comes back its frozen and you cant touch things. might just be my pos phone.
>>26994637
>being a wageslave
kys normie
>>26994637
There doesn't seem to be any in the nearest town either.....
I just went for a walk and couldn't find any pokemon.
I get home and a pidgey shows up on screen for like half a second and I try click it but nothing happens..
Whats the deal?
any word on the U.S. yet?
>>26994473
>>26994394
>>26994383
>>26994307
>>26994508
Same.
Is it only on south america then? Chile here
>the first shiny is discovered ingame and posted online
>/shw/ collectively commit suicide
I hope they move the locations of the pokemon somewhere not in the middle of a battlefield or the edges of the desert.
>>26994645
>>26994619
If you have an ingress account, they have a hotspot locator. Pretty much every single pokespot is just a hotspot ported over from Ingress apparently.
>>26994671
Can you even find shinies?
>>26994667
we're bombing hiroshima
>>26994275
Spaghettifag here, it seems like I can't catch my first Pokémon. I go inside the circle things, I touch them on screen, but nothing seems to work.
Anyone knows how to fix this?
>TFW Aussies finally get something first
Caught this bad boy 30 minutes in.
The game is actually kind of fun when you walk a lot
>>26994667
Very likely to come today or at most sometime this week.
>>26994611
probably not fampai
I live in the city and theres still not a huge amount near me. It's hard to level, you'll probably never get anywhere
>>26994611
Have you found any wild pokemon yet? I live near a small town, but the houses are still recognised and I haven't seen anything yet besides the starters.
>Someone near me already a claimed a gym
>Its not for the team I'm gonna join
>I'm in the US
Blood shall be spilled even before an offical release
>>26994685
great post
>>26994683
Who knows? Maybe it'll be in an update once all 721 (plus Gen 7 possibly) Pokemon have already been added.
>>26994693
I had the same thing happen to me, fucking shit my pants when I saw the blastoise silhouette and walked around for a few minutes trying to find it.
>>26994693
>living near the mexican border in summer
this isn't fun
How often do you meet pokemon if you walk around with the app open for a while? I need to know this before I drag my fat ass outside.
>>26994695
I read that companies usually use Australia and New Zealand as a soft launch to test the game. Hoping it doesn't take a fucking week for the rest of the world to get it.
>>26994718
Are you me?
>tfw live within short walking distance of three spots and three gyms
I'm stuck on the loading screen
is it because I have an iPhone 4?
No nearby Pokémon for 2 hours now.
I think I should uninstall and wait for the release.
>>26994721
Depends, probably every few minutes on average, I noticed more frequent Pokemon in places where there was a bunch of Pokestops
>>26994721
I walked 2.5 kilometers my first walk apparently and I caught 10 pokemon, this is just pokemon that happened to pass by me and not me actively hunting them out
Fuck, I am not on contract and I never turn mobile network on. Looks like my university is the only place where I can play this like an autistic piece of shit.
Actually why do I even bother with this shit?
>>26994275
Works perfectly in Italy too.
>>26994668
I guess so, br here, same problem
>>26994680
The Ingress Intel Map. Pokespots are pretty much mapped 1:1 with Ingress portals.
>>26994399
There is. You own a gym.
so is it any good
>>26994275
Germany reporting in.
works with a shitload of stops and gyms but the app itself still is a bit frail
likes to freeze although that may be my old ass phone
Too many Doduos. At least Slowpoke is okay. I guess.
>not hawlucha despite being spanish
>>26994275
French here works fine as fuck
>>26994763
Pretty based imo
>>26994767
>not hawlucha
not anything from gens 2-6
>>26994756
Yeah but we need a map so I can see where my fellow yellowbros are at. Too many redfags around me, need taking down.
Boy I wish this thing didn't fucking chew through battery.
>>26994763
left it open on my desk, found wild Pidgeys, 10/10 imo
>>26994776
Not yet, that is.
>>26994438
How does this shit work? I downloaded the APK onto my desktop and copied it into my phone's download folder with a USB cable, but I can't actually see the file on my phone.
I've set it to allow non-Play Store downloads but that shouldn't matter yet anyway, since I can't see the file at all.
So, latam got B&, right? I had pokeymans around last night, woke up today and It's a wasteland
>>26994763
Do you like going outside?
Then yeah its pretty fun
>>26994763
it is if you like walking outside
>>26994783
Just get it from Qooapp
West coast NA here. Friend sent me a message at 3am telling me it was live. And can confirm its live. Also these prices are fucking insane.
>>26994787
Had same issues earlier, reload fixed it.
>>26994795

>TFW I'm supposed to walk around in one of the cities with the highest murder rate in US
>>26994797
What do you mean by reload?
Do I have to have the app open while walking for it to count km or can it be backgrounded?
>>26994807
Baby's first Ooga Booga village, apparently. What fucking language are those Pokémon names?
>>26994797
Reloading what?
I already reinstalled the app, still nothing
>the gotta be all day outside and no poke
>>26994801
Yea, it's live in Cali. I just assumed it would be live all over the west coast, but yea southern Cali to be specific is live.

Huh, Pokemon Go works just fine for me on my Iphone 5s, what gives?
honestly why the fuck hasnt this game dropped anywhere for iOS? noone fucking uses androids except for contrarian assholes seriously fuck pokemon go
>>26994189
Playing it on iOS as I read this thread
>>26994842
But it has?
iOS is iPhone right?
Is server down? Nothing's popping up for me.
>>26994842
lol u mad
It's still not in the App Store for east coast. Is there a direct link or am I retarded?
>>26994849
Welcome to ip region block. No ozzy allowed
>>26994854
Jersey friend here, it's only on the west coast at the moment.
>>26994842
That's what you get for buying an overpriced niche phone.
So is anyone that downloaded the APK paranoid about getting a ban? Do you think they would ban for using the APK?
Alright feel free to call me one of those genwun assholes, but these new generation Pokemon designs are getting pretty fucking lazy.
>>26994842
>paying $600 for something that'll break being put in your pocket
>>26994863
And yet nearly everyone owns one or has owned one.
>>26994493
On iPhone. Before you judge me, I only have a phone because it was free.
>>26994864
Nintendo never bans for anything
>>26994858
Wait what
What regions are blocked?
>>26994864
it's pretty much impossible to check if someone didn't download the game outside of the play store
>>26994849
Other people having same problems, scroll up.

>What regions are blocked?

>>26994518
The community college right up the road from me is a gym. I'm hoping I can claim it tonight and the only people who get the app cant dodge.

>>26994873
That doesn't mean it's good
>>26994870

>>26994873

>>26994870
lel
>>26994887
There are people with iOS playing it. Read the thread.
>>26994873
Which means absolutely nothing.
>was working fine earlier today but stopped for everyone in the country at the same time
I think Niantic's onto us
Are there any countries with confirmed working locations? Going to try and spoof stuff

What's the deal with healing Pokemon? I'm on an iPhone in the US so can't get the game yet, but I'm concerned about the healing mechanics. If you're Pokemon faints or loses health do you just have to buy a potion? Or how does it work? I don't want to be spending my $.99 every time I lose a battle damnit.
>>26994263
Eurogamer gave a way for UK to get it. Playing it now.
>>26994219

I just wish it sent push notifications when you found something
>>26994937
>legendary pokemon are added
>require going to important landmarks to find them, capture range is much smaller
>one of them is in the oval office, one at chernobyl NPP, another in the korean DMZ
are you a bad enough dude to catch 'em all?
So it's not out in burgerland yet. I just downloaded the APK. Should I uninstall this and download the real one when it comes out or does it even matter?
Ok, so what do you think, is it worth playing at all or is it going to get boring in a couple of days? Be honest.
>>26994966
capture circle is the size of a pixel
>>26994970
It's probably going to get boring by tomorrow.
>>26994957
Obviously if you download the APK you can play it, but it's not in the app store
