How do you actually throw the fucking Pokeballs? Do I just swipe up really fast? I always do piss weak throws, also what does the circle that pulsates on the pokemon even do?

>>27019904
Make your swipes longer, the longer the swipe, the farther it goes. Speed doesn't really matter.

>>27019904
The first few hundred pokemon are easy to catch but they get more difficult. If the circle is the smallest when you throw your ball, the chance they will escape is less.

I got the balls and incubator at least, I'll just take that as a victory and wait until nighttime for the servers to stop dying. Zubats, here I come

Fuck this app seriously. Its always down.

>>27020329
I know that feel senpai, I'm just too stubborn to uninstall.

I've been sitting in central park for like an hour and a half now trying to see if any poliwag are here, and the servers have been down for almost the entire time.

Just downloaded it. Stuck on an infinite loading screen. Sometimes it gets through to the server issue page.
It also says GPS signal not found. Is this a symptom of the server issue, or am I gonna have to deal with this shit when the servers are back up?

Me. All fucking day.

Won't load wild pokemon either. Lost out on a drowzee and a zubat.

New York is clearly the only state that matters.
Anyone who lives anywhere else should be slaughtered.

I've seen a few groups of people walking around looking for pokemon, but most of the people are lined up to go swimming in the pool.

tap retry and you can have a map with no mon, gyms or stops on it!
>>
>>27020503
Dude this is exactly what happened to me.

At work, pokestops around but none I can reach without going outside. Lunchtime, time to go outside, maybe a quick stroll around to get like 10 stops. Servers down.
>>
>>27020423
I know that feel. Haven't caught a single thing outside of Bulbasaur. However, I've seen Paras, Tauros, Ratata, and Scyther and couldn't click em

>>27020536

the servers keep going down every time i use an incense. then they come back up for 2 hours, i feel it's safe enough, and i use an incense and they go back down. guess i'm never using them again

>>27020498
I decided to go to central park because Mott haven has absolutely 0 interesting Pokemon in it.
I'm kind of regretting this decision because the servers are absolute garbage.
This forces me to sit and wait until the servers work for 4 more minutes, then I can walk to another spot and sit again

>>27020375
I caught a dragonite, and that's 149 correct?
>>
>>27020614
Still, they should have forseen this kind of activity based on the social media reaction to the teaser trailer. I expected to see some server hiccups, not full-blown lack of connectivity for most people all day.

I've got absolutely nothing else to do with my time, if I were to go back home I'd be even more bored.

People watching has been keeping me a bit entertained while the servers are down.

It's mostly the old Hispanic women that are yelling because the line for the pool is too long and they were expecting to be inside already. It's pretty hilarious
And I've seen like 4 children trip while running

Niantic will never work with TPC again after they dropped the ball this bad.

This is undeniably worse than HBO Now going down for the season 6 opener of GoT and then episode 9 of season 6 of GoT. This is everything Masuda wanted and they blew it.

On the plus side, you know that it'll be up and running while the US is asleep. My tiny ass suburb has 2 gyms and like 6 pokespots so I'm planning on going for a stroll later tonight since the servers will definitely be up.
>>
How to spoof gps without rooting phone?
>>
>>27020675
Close the app and log back in, he'll be in your party when you come back
>>
>>27020727
Hop in your car and drive there when the servers are up. Wait for the servers to go down. Then drive back really fast while the servers are still down and when the servers return you'll still be where you want to be.
>>
>>27020722
Not as bad as the sim city release, at least we got to play this one.
>>
Kinda happy the servers shitting itself right now

I've walked 8 miles in the last 2 days and my legs are killing me. I want to go out but I need the rest.

Is 8 miles in 2 days decent?
>>
>>27020722
I hope you're right.
Somehow a filthy Team Blue shitter took the only gyms in my small town. I need to boot him out ASAP.
>>
>>27020771
When I was a kid, we used to have to walk 8 miles in the snow, uphill BOTH WAYS, just to get to school. You're nothing, punk.
>>
>>27020771
Pretty good start, anon. In a few days walking 4 miles will be a piece of cake and you'll be doing 5-6.
>>
>>27020771
Normally? Not really. I've got friends who live in downtown Chicago who can go for 9 mile runs. Hell, I'm fairly sedentary myself but I have done 10 miles walking in a day in probably 1.5 hours combined.


But, since you're asking the question, I can tell that you don't get much exercise in. So, for you anon, 8 miles in 2 days is really fucking good. Keep up the exercise. We're all going to get healthy on this fucking game.

>>27020783
It was pretty solid for me at 5am CST (UTC -6) this morning but went to shit around 10am CST. I'm almost at level 5 and I want to go Team Yellow and the gyms in my town are red and blue. I must claim superiority over my tiny ass suburb.

I think I could do more but the heat is nasty by me right now. I really need to bring a small bag with a water bottle with me in the future because I could feel the dehydration kicking in earlier today.

Start checking the weather and start looking at the humidity too. High humidity is fucking terrible since you don't feel yourself getting dehydrated while you just leak water. Proud of you anon.

I haven't even been able to get to the servers down screen, I just get an "Unable to authenticate. Please try again." message. That's just because the pokemon trainer club is down, right?
>>
>>27020849
Yes. Switch to Google. Its uptime is better than Trainer Club.
>>
>>27020849
As far as I know, no one's been able to use Trainer Club since earlier today.
Sucks too, since it's what I signed up with, expecting better perks or whatever, and I'm reluctant to start over.

I'm in the same boat as >>27020887, I don't want to start over yet and I figure there will be some knockback/benefit to trainer club users down the road.

Servers are back but all of my fucking pokemon are gone.
