>What country has this game been released in?
Officially: Australia, New Zealand, and the USA
>Is anyone else having trouble with x?
Yes. Servers have been fucking up forever. If you have an issue, it's likely a server issue or a bug not unique to you.
>When will the game be released in my country?
What are we, from the future? We don't know.
>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. Install the app to find out! Directions are below.
>If I live outside of Australia and the USA, can I download this game for Android?
Sure! Keep reading for directions.
>How do I download the game?

You will need a file manager on your phone. Get a file manager in the Google Play store
>My town/city doesn't have many Pokestops!
Go to Google Maps and start adding (real) landmarks. Updates are weekly.

People aren't that bad after all.
I'm having a lot of fun playing Pokemon GO. I really hope that they fix the servers so that the game will be constantly running. I know it's just a mobile game, but it's really making my life better. I hope that they continue to update the game so that we can really catch 'em all.

Any tips for taking over gyms?
>>27069020Git gud
Is there some kind of mini FAQ for this game? Nothing is explained in the game.
Does anyone know if the Xl, XS affects anything yet?
Also, when is the best time to throw the ball? When the circle is smaller or bigger? I get nice and great randomly it seems.
>>27069018
I'm just sad that I won't have the time to run around chasing pokemon here in a few weeks when I move and start my new job.

>>27069061
I accidently wandered on private property. When confronted by the owner I just said I'm looking for something and booked it.
>>27069057
The ball has to land inside the circle. You won't get the bonus if the ball hits their side or top. Smaller circle gives better bonus.
is there any way around the 1hp glitch?
I cant get to any of the other gyms without this happening.
Is it just me or does anyone else have the problem where after a while of being in the game it loses all sound?
>walk 3 miles
>all 3 enemy gyms I run into have the 1HP bug
jesus christ come on
>>27069062
That was an issue with ingress as well. Several portals were in exclusive access locations, the game makers said they are valid for play.

>>27069090
you got good exercise and made egg hatching progress though anon
you can literally not fail at this game
>>27069127
>actually linking to reddit
This is why no one like Pokemon Go here.
This is what happens.
>>27069099
Looks like the ingress Intel map, might have an add on called iitc as well.
>>27069123
Neither, throw them into the grinder.
You are way too low level to be hitting up gyms anyhow. And their candies will go further.
>>27069123
The Pidgeotto. If you are a decent trainer level it could get a huge CP buff plus good moves. Then you will only have to train that instead of getting more candies for the pidgey
ToTT: I live in a rural town, so I went 50 miles today so that I could catch some Pokemon. It started raining at first, but I kept on going, and I caught a Koffing and a Venomoth, which were both new for me. I hit up some Pokestops and got a few eggs. One hatched into a Caterpie, the other into a Magikarp. I was happy about the Magikarp because it gave me 21 Magikarp candies. Maybe I can get a Gyarados one day, after all. As I was leaving the town I traveled to, I came across 3 or 4 Pokemon at once, including a Jigglypuff. But for some reason, the game wouldn't let me select it to battle. Then the servers went down. Once they came back up, the Jigglypuff was gone, of course. I ended up back at home, then went back out to go to the one Pokestop and gym near me. I got another egg from the stop, and tried to challenge the gym. At first, I got the 1 HP glitch. That happened several times. Then I started to get this new glitch where as soon as the battle started, it switched to the current gym leader's summary screen. I really wanted to take that gym back for my team, so I hope they fix those bugs soon. Then the servers went down, so I went home. All in all, it was a pretty great day except for the end which was glitchy as hell.
>>27069141
>>27069127
I can't use the ingress map because I don't have an account and can't use google play
guess i'm out of luck
>>27069126
I get the same pokemon that live around my area. Like psyducks and venonats from them. My 10km egg was a magmar.
Eggs are good even if they are something you can already catch, because hatching gives more candy and exp than catching.
>>27069120

>>27069140
reddit apparently knows more than you do, maybe you should deal with it
How do I manage to evolve my starter?
>>27069150
You don't have a Google account? You have bigger issues.
>>27069127
fuck off redditor. i can only imagine how many of you cunts are here
>>27069139
Oh I'm still super happy about this game, it's exceeded my expectations for my own interest.
It'd just be nice if all aspect of it were working correctly.
>>27069166
I can't use google accounts or gmail on my computer, it just gives me an 'invalid' screen when i try to log in
>>27069018
I bought a fucking bike just for this game. I've been out all day with my fiance, and I've been out every morning since release walking about.
I hope they update this game with all the mons and proper breeding and battling, because this would legit take over my life.
Post your progress. I only today have had the chance to go on a decent walk.
>>27069169
>how do I do thing?
>here is how
>wtf I don't want to learn it from reddit I'll just stay clueless!
Does anyone know yet if it's better to train your Pokemon before evolving instead of after? Is this something I should be doing?

Aww man, I'm sorry anon. I hope that you can find some times on the weekend to go hunt! It's such a great game.

Will there ever be a way to make the wild pokemon appearance vibration stronger? on my phone it's like a 0.01 second pulse with the intensity of a flea farting on an elastic band
I can't even keep my phone in my pocket because i can't feel it over the act of walking
>>27069190
My pokestops are two churches and a post office so I know your pain.
>everyone and their mom playing pokemon go
this almost feels like the second coming of R/B/Y
>>27069140
The Reddit has over 20,000 users on it. They post some interesting findings. If you don't want to go there that's fine but calling out others because of "Muh Sitewars" is fucking autistic
>>27069190
I'm in the south and everything here is a church or religious/historical statue.

>>27068807
what team are you on, covington bro
>>27069175
I plan on getting a bike for this as well. My only problem is the speed. I know that if you go over a certain speed, it doesn't count for hatching eggs. So like if you're going fast in a car, it doesn't count at all. I don't know what exactly that speed is, so I'm not sure if a bike would be good to have for my eggs...
>>27069202
Thanks, anon! I hope this game helps a lot of people like it's helped me.

Try leaving in eastern europe. Churches everywhere, that are both pokestops and gyms

Yeah, I've started just asking people with their phones out "Go?" and 9/10 say yes.
I have a feeling it won't last though.
>>27069222

>>27069244Mystic
>>27069250
I heard the max speed was 15 mph
>>27069174
Are you looking for something specific on the map? Or did you just want to take a general look. Also, clear cache, try different browsers, clear router/modem cache.
>>27069272
Not really, but you can't do gyms at all until you pick. Does it even let you back out without choosing?
>>27069222
Mine is a church. That's it. The others are too far to bother going to them. There's another couple churches and a bar.
>>27069274
there are so many normies playing this game you literally have 0 reason to be anxious
I know how you feel but I got out recently and it's perfectly fine. Everyone is playing this right now.
>>27069176
Got these so far. Went from level 10 to 15 today. My golduck has held a gym all day.
>>27069272
Aside from not being able to reap freebie in-game currency for every Pokemon you have stocked in an allied gym.
God, I wish I could change teams. Something tells me my entire city is gonna go full Valor Communism by the end of the weekend.

>Slowbro
I'm so jealous.
>>27069302
I know it'd piss people off, but I kinda wish they just randomly assigned you so that everything is even instead of one team being really popular in the area.
>>27069250
I was cruising at a good speed so I could check the map for spots, and it registered for eggs, which is awesome. It's really like the game is real.
Just wish I got better things from eggs. Some lucky people got lapras and shit, and I got zubat and doduos
Imagine living here
>>27069221
Wait for the pokemon go watch.
Since Pokemon Go has you capturing Pokemon while you walk, what the hell does Ingress have?
What exactly is the point of that shitty game?
>>27069322
I got an incubator for hitting level 6. Might be random.
>ran out of pokeballs
wow fun game.
>>27069327
What distance were they? Were they 10km eggs?
Post your local pokrmon
>>27069329
jesus, that's just ridiculous. i feel like they should cut down on the density a little to encourage people to actually fucking walk.
>>27069329
I'm gonna live there one day, anons.
One day.;_;
>>27069312
Yes! My wife and I are the only blues on this side of Covington. The local gym had three yellow Pidgeots in the 400 CP range.
Anyone else unable to login right now? The mom server status website says it's up but I can't connect
>>27069287
>Does it even let you back out without choosing?
I didn't click any gyms because I know it forces you to pick a side. I'm fine so far because I don't touch gyms, though people who are forced to pick when clicking the gym idk. You may exit out by force closing the app but not sure if that works
>>27069221
Wait it vibrates even if you have your phone in yoir pocket?
Because i've been walking the entire fucking city with my phone in my hands.
So I have this problem where occasionally my gps fucks up and my character suddenly moves quite a bit of distance in some direction, even allowing me to hit a poke stop or shit
How worried should I be? I don't even want this happen nor is it my fault, I don't know, it's just not accurate and spazzes out occasionally especially when I'm inside
>>27069253
I think it'll last for a while. Then when trading and battles are added, things will start to boom
does the EXP egg also double evolution exp? or only captures? might wait on evolving my oddish if that's the case?
>>27069340
Just go hit up pokestops. It sucks for people who live in the middle of nowhere, but I've had to literally throw away pokeballs because my city is so full of them.
>>27069311
How about youtalk to them?
>>27069344
2 and 5. My one 10km egg was an electabuzz, which was legit since everyone is using pidgeot for gyms.
Too bad there's no water types about. The desert is suffering.
>>27069281
I guess I'll try to not go over that. I wonder how fast the average bike goes?
>>27069327
Aww man. I'm hoping that I get some good stuff from the eggs I have. Only Caterpie and Magikarp so far.
>>27069329
I would lose my shit. Brb going to NYC.

Remember to toggle to Dim so that your screen will dim but stay on to save some power and reduce burn in.
I have a busy week this week but I will try to get an update out that will have an Activity so you can choose default settings and have a notification tray option to toggle it on/off.

Georgia anons, where are you? I know I talked to a few of you yesterday. It's Douglasville anon, here. I went to Kennesaw today to get some Pokestops, and while it's better than Douglasville, it was still a bit more barren than I would have liked. Where do you guys go to hunt? Are there a lot of spots in Downtown ATL? I hate going down there and finding a place to park is a pain, so I'd rather go somewhere a bit more suburban but still populated with Pokestops and whatnot. Tell me where you guys go!

Really depends on you as much as the kind of bike. If you aren't pushing yourself to go fast and are just casually riding you shouldn't have a problem though.

Dudes, please. Stop embarrassing yourself with your shitty game. Everyday on the internet, I now see articles about people going in weird places or even infiltrating police station to catch certain Pokemon GO. You guys are the shame of mankind and we'd better off if you and your 10-year-old chuuni delusions were dead. Thank you.
>>27069494
Alright but I'll go to bed now
the pokemon symbol means someone already checked whether the dot is a stop or gym (stops in this case) so you got at least 1 other player there who is using this map I guess
>>27069121
Might die down once winter hits and snow starts dropping (implying that won't mean more robots come outside because less normies)
Then it will spike back up in the next big update
>>27069126
I got Paras and Exeggcute from 5km eggs. Got Electabuzz from a 10km one.

Belgrade, Serbia here
works like a charm, place is solidly valor though
This game is pointless..it's fun in theory but ultimately there is no fun to be had and that upsets me greatly. The whole point of going out to get mons is to get higher level and get stronger ones, but gyms are always going to be held by people that buy microtransactions anyway and have stupidly strong pokemon.
What the fuck is the point of just playing legitimately other than to be dissapointed when you can't progress for shit
>>27069446
Dominican Republic here. Everything's okay.

Question, if I get Pikachu as my starter can I catch bulbasaur and the rest in the wild?
Just downloaded the game, how do I track pokemon? Like if I have 3 three step pokemon, how am I supposed to track down one individually?
>>27069554
there is no difference between wild, evolved or hatched. Only thing that determines how high CP you can get to with candies, is your trainer level.
>>27069564
Are you advising us to not catch them all?

Hey Ruralanons
Someone on Reddit (Crucify me why don't ya) emailed Niantics support team and told them how living in a shit town with nothing sucks and politely asked if they could turn some local churches and Post Offices into Pokestops and they did. You guys can try if you want
>>27069537
Alright. I'm not sure if a bike is a good idea for me because >tfw no infrastructure. We have gravel roads instead of sidewalks and riding in the street is too dangerous because of the 16 wheelers. I guess I'll just be one of those powerwalkers.
>tfw I get fit as hell from Pokemon
>>27069553
Nice. I guess that we need to suggest stops so that we'll have some stuff near us? There's just nothing here to suggest...it's wilderness. Crazy how places like NYC are so densely populated that it's an actual problem and then you have places like where I live.

I hatched 2 5km eggs today and got a koffing and magnemite. Salty about the magnemite because I know no won't get more and it'd be awesome to hold a magneton in scum due to the mass pidgeots in my area.

Oh shit I should try this

Just walked around a little till the icon turned to 1 step, then to no icon where it spawns. 1 step icon means its really close and you should be able to find it. If icon turns to 2 or 3 steps then you are going the wrong way.

No, you still get server issues because you're connecting to servers in Europe or USA, or maybe Australia.

Poland here, my home village has few stops and gyms I submitted years ago, main city that's 15 minutes away by bus is much better in that regard, albeit still not very dense compared to screenshots I've seen from America, with about one stop 1-2 minutes of walking.

So if you're in a rural area there is shit chances for pokemon?

literally nothing inside city limits, that figures. Thanks for helping not waste my time on a wild goose chase for stops.

For pokestops, yeah
Get fucked
Alright I think I've found a pattern.
Or I'm autistic.
I was fighting the gyms in my area, right?
I beat them once and I brought down their prestige just fine, but when I went to battle them for a second time I got the 1HP bug.
This could be the servers being shit, or maybe that's how it works?
One person can only take it down one peg?
Help me Anons, I need to take my gyms back from being 100% red.

I hope they reopen portal submissions soon, right now I have two stops on the playground, so I could chill there at late hours with few friends, with third stop about 20 meters away.
I'd go crazy adding stops this time around, make a big deal out of everything unusual, I have few cool looking stones next to my house, I need those coach portals.
>>27069709
Has anything shown up? Cause I used a lure once and fuck all happened.
>>27069771
Keeps it on screen to find it by Hot and Cold. If the paw prints decrease you are walking closer to the pokemon. It will appear when you reach the spot where prints are displayed.

I live at the Olympic park. We have a very nice set of mons around, but there's only 3 pokestops down by the actual park entrance/bike trail
and another 2 further down at some stadium I don't remember the name of.
As for mons, I've gotten magmar, clefairy, koffing, bulbasaur, and rhyhorns there in addition to the plentiful population of eevees/ekans/nidorans that's everywhere over hereand of course pidgey/rat/spearow but no one care about those

Go back a year in time and play Ingress.
anyone know how this bug works?
pokeball will sometimes stop mid flight, this time it stopped after grabbing the pokemon, it isn't locked up but won't progress with catching it
want to find a way to avoid it so I stop losing pokeballs to it
I'm going to kill myself.
>>27069875
While in battle with a wild pokemon click items then use a razz berry. They make the pokemon easier to catch like bait in the safari zone

As far as I know, there's no fix for it so far. It's best to just turn AR off for now, sadly.
>but there's only 3 pokestops
>only 3
What the fuck is this? There are historic landmarks all around there, so what gives? Is the Ferris Wheel at least one of them? That should definitely be one.
It sounds like you've gotten some decent mons though. I want to find the best spot to go in Atlanta and make a meetup and just stay there for a few hours. My friend is making a meetup, but she's in Roswell... I don't think we're really going to find jack shit.
>>27069876
I really didn't think about that. I just wanted a basic, inexpensive bike and I'm not sure if it could handle gravel or anything like that. I suppose that I could pony up some extra cash and get a better bike?

West loop near Greek town, there's like 6 gyms around me and easily 40 pokestops
I also bike thru downtown when I go to work, and I saw hundreds of pokestops around so prepare for a full bag if you hit every stop you see

Sometimes those pokemon will be caught after force closing the game and reopening. Its something with your connection or the servers being shit. I've kept some of those catches after it locks up.

There's a Chick-Fil-A in town with a pokestop in it and there was a group of teenagers who were sitting outside playing with it.
When does the uk get it officially?
>>27069190
I've got 2 poke stops within 2 mintues of me.
Ones the entrance to a park and the other is the exit. There's also a gym on the park too.
PARK IS STACKED. Plus i'm UK so i'me the only one playing right now in the area.
Anyone have the Stardust glitch today? It was pretty cool. I powered up my Pokemon today, about 3 times, and it didn't take any Stardust away from me. The 4th time I tried, it gave me an error message, but hey, that's 3 free power ups for me, basically.
>>27069939
It's all rednecks and meth addicts over here, so I'm not surprised. I hope they open up submissions soon. I'm not really that optimistic though, seeing as how fucking botched this release was.

what?
I expected downtown and midtown but this shit has literally taken over NYC. Putting out a lure in the Heights or Inwood right now is hysterical
So do you gies just walk around with the phone out and looking at it or in your pocket on power save?
>>27070050
Not true
If enemy gym has a pokemon with less CP than mine, will I have better chance at winning? Or will I need 6 pokes of similar CP to win?

NYC here. Feels great man.
Anyone got a farfetch'd yet? Really want one of those fuckers.

It depends how much less. I've almost lost to an Eevee that was 50 CP lower than me. Your 6 Pokes are battling the entire gym if there are multiple people.

No idea about the meet up
I saw a couple guys at the UIC blue line stop when I was over there earlier, Valor has the gym locked down pretty well right there. I also had the gym at North/Clybourn station for like a second but saw other people around me taking the gym from me
Pic unrelated just want to show off what I just evolved
>>27069329
Quick /vp/ which pokemon city is manhattan?
So if I capture a gym do I leave a pokemon there? Or will I still have that pokemon. And if it gets defeated does it come back to me or something?
Is it possible to play Pokemon GO on my android 4.3 or am I fucked?
>>27070086
If I'm in an open area like a park or something, I'll have it out.
If I'm indoors or the streets are busy, then I'll keep it my pocket.

Unova and Castelia city

You win this round, Nintendo.
>>27070183
Yeah, I caught it of course, I just would have liked one I could actually use. Good xp from the dex entry though.

Queens. 45 minutes from the city, and regardless my area is packed with gyms and spots. Might go to central park tomorrow.
>>27069301
Where do you live where you get water types? my town only gets fire type
The gym nearest to my house has been oddly silent since it last got retaken like six hours ago. Nobody's even tried to take it and it's weirding me out.
>>27070086
When dicking around or catching a mon or something I obviously have it out. When I'm just walking to an objective I keep it in my pocket and only check it if it vibrates.
>>27070233
Maryland reporting in. I pick up Staryus and Goldeens in my apartment.
Where can I find a snorlax
Is there a CP cap? It'll be interesting to see how far people can go, but I feel like if there isn't it'll become an exclusive game pretty quick.
>>27070216
>walk back and forth between the two pokestops in my town
they reset every 5 min
Get there and spent some time there
I did this with the only pokestop I've been able to vist today, 3 tries, 2 eggs and 11 Pokeballs also 1 potion
>>27070029
You sound like you live in as rural of a place as me. I lucked out completely though, there's 3 pokestops and 2 gyms in my town of under 4k people. I mean its definitely not as nice as a lot of pics being posted but it could be a lot worse for an area this rural. I looked in Ingress and all the portals were submitted by the same guy so he probably had it made when it came to owning them.
>>27070227
Nice. Yeah I've got some shit down in Hells Kitcheb and Chelsea tomorrow, better catch some fairy Pokemon
>see a pikachu that is apparently three steps away from me
>Walk one step and it suddenly spawns in front of me
I'm not following any of this at all...
>>27070233
I live in a city where there's a river
Can't get any fire types at all, but full of water types
Since we're in gen 1 for the time being, which poke is most OP? Since psychics are kinda the best type during this gen I'd say Alakazam
>>27070223
Also how do teams work?
I was Blue team like them and I still got kicked out
>People catching all these dank mons
>I can't catch shit
CUT MY LIFE INTO PIECES
THIS IS MY LAST RESORT
Can you get lucky eggs from pokestops? if so at what level
>>27070261
the whole system is fucked
i had pokemon that werent even on the nearby thing pop up out of fucking nowhere
>>27070264
Psychics were OP because of the insane amount of Poison types in the Kanto dex and how Special stat worked. Stats don't mean anything now, but lack of effective Ghost or Dark counters means they're still top tier.
>>27070248
It seems like you can only power each mon up so many times.
>>27070285
i got a shitload of them at level 5
i think 5 is minimum cause i wasn't getting them before
>>27070251
That's pretty neat, anon. Hopefully they'll add more shit to my horrible little rural town as well!
>>27070206
I'm sure there will be a ton of people over there, I am also guessing Wrigley is gonna be a gym or something
>>27070250
I know that, but I could probably walk between them in less than 3 minutes, so I could probably get the timing down.
Plus, I have like 7 eggs to hatch...
If I buy 2 more incubators, I could hatch 4 eggs at a time while also stocking up on pokeballs...
>>27069489
I'm in the Acworth/Dallas area, tiny place of nothingness as it is. Fucking nothing here. I'll be heading down to the airport Monday morning to pick up some family, so I'm hype for hitting up some pokespots there, hopefully.
>>27070073
What team are you because the blue has overtaken everything
Also, any tips for a fellow NY'er finding good Pokemon? It's all doduos and pidgeys and ratatas etc
>>27069692
My vaporeon can easily solo them all but I can't leave anything anywhere without the gym being taken over by morning. Leaving an electric type would help with slowing them down or forcing then to not spam pidgeot. If nothing else at least get some diversity here.
>>27070181
thats how the battery saver activates, is when you turn your phone upside down.
>>27070374
is that for android?

I would say Gengar, but i'm not sure about his moveset.

QUEENS HERE
ITS ALL SHIT MONS. WHERE DO I GET THE GOOD ONES PLS
>>27070347
Good luck! I'm sure that the airport must be a Pokestop (the little airport on Fulton Industrial was one) but I'm not sure what else could be around there. The surrounding area, Hapeville, is pretty barren. Post results when you go, anon! I'm curious.
>pokemon have 2 moves when caught
>these moves are randomized from a pool
can you change the moves your pokemon have? can you have more than 2 moves?
>>27069596
What about xs and xl?
Also what's the difference with some attacks having one bar and others having 3 bars
>>27070374
I can't seem to get mine to work
Using LG G4
>>27070388
Do we even know how normal attacks interact against ghost pokemon yet? No guarantee that its like the actual gen 1 games.
What do the fluttering leaves mean?
WHAT DO THEY MEAN?
>>27070412
We don't know yet
So far no
>>27070424
Just to clarify, he means upside down as in side you listen to on the bottom and mic on the top, not screen face down.
How much control do you have over your trainer's appearance? Default male looks like a tool, but I'd rather pick him if I can like change out his hat and pants and stuff.

QUESTION:
Which is better: use a lure on a pokestop and camp there or use an incense and go for a walk?
I got a pokestop right at my house.
>>27070394
queens blvd. forest hills 71st
>>27070473
NYC is all blue, fuck this desu
>>27070402
I'll be happy if I can get even one. The closest pokestop to home is a Mellow Mushroom, about 7 miles away.
>>27070477
I've seen a girl avatar with a :3 face briefly but then it changed
then again i might have just been drunk
While were posting tips, if you are in control of a gym, theres an icon in the top right of the shop which will give you in game gold and other shit to use depending on how many gyms hes controlling.
>>27070482
oh right, i turned that shit off. is this different/better than the power save mode that sends the alert to your phone at 20%?
>>27070492
RIP. That really sucks. Can you drive or do you have to walk everywhere?
Only got 2 incense after 3 days at various pokestops, how to get more?
Do people get banned for inappropriate nicknames on pokemon? Or will they allow us to name whatever we want and not get involved with social gameplay
>>27070507
i have no idea if it actually affects the battery life, but its nice not having to hold your phone out in front of you when you can just plop in into your pocket until it vibrates.
>>27070523
Microtransactions
>>27070523
keep going to stops or level up, those are the 2 only ways you get more
>>27070524
naming your mankey 'nigger' isn't that funny
>>27070523
What lv are you
>>27070524
Nicknames are clientside from the looks of it.
>>27070487
Depends on where you live. More populated areas seem to have more pokemon.
>>27069937
>ya'll gonna sit here and hold up the line or order somethin?
>>27070541
Not him, I named my pinsir circumcision and my Voltorb GeorgeBush
>>27070517
I can drive, but that seems a bit far to just idle around a restaurant for a while for stuff for a mobile game. Hopefully the gym I go to has some pokestops in range of it.
The gym glitch is really pissing me off. Nothing more frustrating knowing that I can smash the 4 gyms that are within a short walk of my apartment, but everytime the Pokemon live with 1HP and I have to wait and try again another time.
I have multiple 700CP+ Pokemon. I just want to wreck the 300-400CP Pokemon in the gyms around me. ;_;
Is there a point to having incense and a lure going at the same time?
>>27070505
hes -> you're*
>>27070579
Good luck, anon.
>>27070586
I tried it and got some strongish Pokemon with lots of CP potential but I'm not sure if that's just a coincidence or not. We need more evidence, anon!
>>27069783
>pretty though when it comes to cheating/hacking
except that was when their game had 500 people playing
Pokemon Go has a billion at least. Do you really think they can stop a few hackers when their servers are getting baked?
Is it possible to get pokeballs without leaving the battle screen or am I fucked?
If some fag two buildings down uses a lure model, and you suddenly don't have any nearby Pokemon; is it because of all the Pokemon going to that person?
Because if so fuck this guy
>>27070629
If you run they should stick around for a bit
on my map I swear I see moving grass or something somewhere down the street. Its pitch black and I live in a rural area, hope it is worth it
>>27070636
I asked another guy at a lure spot what he caught, and they were the exact same pokemon I was trying to get. I got both of them after that.
What phone should I get /vp/? I want something with good battery life.
>>27069709
I saw a rec center with the same kinda thing just today.
>>27070652
dont go its not worth it
they dont fucking work
>>27070652
report back if you catch anything
>inb4 pidgey
>live in the countryside

>town only has 2 pokestops and no gym
>over 40 miles to an actual city with pokestops
I've been cucked
>>27070662
Galaxy S7 is probably the best phone on the market right now
>>27070652
I wouldn't do it if its on someone else's property. Good way of getting shot.
>>27070439
My intuition is that there's a pokemon not necessarily in the grass, but that the grass is just the direction of the mon. Like an arrow relative to where the player is.
https://www.proofpoint.com/us/threat-insight/post/droidjack-uses-side-load-backdoored-pokemon-go-android-app
>Proofpoint researchers discovered an infected Android version of the newly released mobile game Pokemon GO [1]. This specific APK was modified to include the malicious remote access tool (RAT) called DroidJack (also known as SandroRAT), which would virtually give an attacker full control over a victim’s phone. The DroidJack RAT has been described in the past, including by Symantec [2] and Kaspersky [3]. Although we have not observed this malicious APK in the wild, it was uploaded to a malicious file repository service at 09:19:27 UTC on July 7, 2016, less than 72 hours after the game was officially released in New Zealand and Australia.
Be careful friends. You should be safe if it didn't ask you to enable any unknown sources tickboxes.
>>27070636
From what I've seen with the lure items, the Pokemon that show up are not usually in the nearby box. I assume lure items just cause new Pokemon to spawn in that location. Pokemon spawning in your location without incense is pretty rare
>>27070662
don't do what i did and compromise performance for battery life, you can always just get a power bank or some shit, but i tell you lag and overall slow performance is fucking shit

That sounds really new. Can you hack it?
>>27070662
Redmi note 3 if your on a budget. Galaxy 5-7 if you are rich
>>27070662
Instead of looking for a top of the line phone you'd come out cheaper and with a longer battery life by going mid tier and buying an after market battery.

iPhone 5S or greater is pretty good. I'm playing on SE and I only charge my phone like once every day. I can play all day on a full battery while using other shit on my phone like flashlight, camera, phone, etc. There's a reason so many people always have some shit to say about apple products..
>>27070745

I leveled from 8 to 9 and I still haven't gotten any items or anything even saying I leveled. It's been an hour, does anyone else have this problem?

Sharp Aquos Crystal here; literally feel like the only person on earth with this phone.
Battery life is pretty good if you keep it stocked, but I tend to forget that at times. Does everything I need for Go and is a fraction of the price of something like an iPhone. It also looks cool as fug.

>>27070788
check your bag or restart app
>>27069880
You lost connection with the server and it's waiting to reconnect so it can register your catch.
This is what happens with gym battles too. Best way to deal with that is to switch to a different type and the game will freeze until it reconnects.

Obviously, the 10000 in the name stands for the 10,000mAh battery. For reference the following phones have these batteries:
>iPhone 5s: 1560mAh
>iPhone 6s: 1715mAh
>Galaxy S5: 2800mAh
Galaxy S7: 3000mAh

It's a shame about the specs though and it'll take a while to get to you because it's from China. I'm sure it can play Pokemon GO just fine. If you're worried then go ask /csg/ on /g/, I'm sure one of them can download it and test it out for you.
>>27070723 is a good chink phone too, that can play it no problem.
>>27070862
The thing is that I used to do it all the time and I know their backyard like my bed roomMy friend lived on the otherside of the road
but I don't know if I want to do it at night or when hes open. Like he has a business but the thing is kind of limited to the front. I also don't remember him liking me with how much I cut through his yard.
I work at Target on the weekends. I had a bunch of interesting people come in today playing the gamemost of them were team valor though
>>27070853
So I looked up the rewards for each level and I did get a lucky egg. But it didn't give me any pokeballs. Restarting it hasn't worked and it's the first time it didn't tell me that I leveled. Really annoying too considering I don't have any pokeballs

Is this how Nintendo makes their shekels?
what's the highest CP you've seen on a wild one? i just caught a bellsprout at 202
>>27070882
Not really. Most Pokemon fans I know are girls and normies is synonymous with genwunner so no surprise there
>>27070914
This
Those EVERYWHERE pokemon like ratatata and pidgeys are basically free exp.
Evolve everything you can.
>>27070941
Caught a level 347 Tauros earlier today. I'm level 8.

Arcanine at 520, level 10
>>27070886
>>27070863
>>27070818
you can only achieve this by buying a lot of incense, lucky eggs and probably lures a]nd sitting on ur ass all day
>Start game last night
>Join Mythic because everybody I know is in Mythic
>Go out like 5 times in 24 hours with the squad (we ran across four lanes of traffic at 11 PM in pourng rain to get a Vulpix, found crazy shit like Dragonite, Tauros, and Kingler near a KFC, etc.) and have walked ~13 kms so far
>Only Gym in the immediate area that isn't under Mythic control is run by Instinct with a 1229 Vaporeon at the top
Great experience so far. Only worry is that I'm headed to another college this Fall and if it's heavily Instinct or Valor I might be fucked. The only guy from here I know who's going to the same school doesn't have a smart phone.
>>27070882
Niantic has a money making machine on their hands if they handle this right by advertising to business owners to let them become gyms/pokestops and don't make microtransaction stuff too strong. Plus the datamining revenue.

300 kingler only level 8.

Just snagged a 460 Golbat at a mall.
>>27070750
>>27070889
I hate you both and I hate this game.
I ran out of pokeballs because the closest pokestop is a mile away, and I'm lvl 8 almost 9 but can't join a team because there are no gyms around me for miles.
how good is niantic at detecting location spoofing?
>>27069489
Atlanta here, I just started playing. I live in west Midtown and so far it's just run of the mill forest pokemon. I'll be in Midtown proper tomorrow. I'm anticipating there will be a lot more.
>>27070818
So can someone explain what's the fun in this game if THIS is ultimately what is going to be every gym? yeah the hunting is fun and I love seeing other people at pokespots, but ultimatel you want beefy pokemon for gyms...but this? seriously?
What the fuck is the point at all if you're never going to spend this much money on a phone game? this is literally the future of the game
>>27070899
Thanks for the info. I probably don't want to wait 2 months to get something from china though. Maybe I'll just go galaxy s5 and just shove a battery up in my pack.
>>27071019
>a mile away
>he says that like its far
So walk to it, you need to walk a lot to hatch eggs anyways.
>>27070977
Got a 300+ Kingler earlier today myself. Do you happen to live in Capital Region NY?

No problem man. If you're on the look out for a cheap power bank and don't mind the wait, this one is great.

>>27071019
A mile isn't far but considering these people in cities literally don't have to move from their chair to access pokestops it's stupid. I've walked around for the past 3 days looking for more stops but there aren't any.

I thought that evolvIng useless Pokemon and not transferring them is a bad idea
>>27071241
Evolve like the highest useless pokemon.
You lose nothing out of it but you gain player levels.
That's the only shit that matters. Keep the stardust and maybe level like one killer pokemon.
Do certain things effect what Pokemon show or is it purely rng?
I want to catch a ghost Pokemon and I am thinking about going out at night to try and get a ghost.
>>27071333
there seems to be some environmental factors but its definitely largely rng
>>27071333
Go to a cemetary at night
Game checks locations, if you are near a cemetary *don't have to be in one but higher chances* you'll probably find one.
>>27071333
I have only seen ghastlies at night. Get a big influx at like midnight which is surprising you wouldn't think it would go that late.

It would be nice to be able to detect when other trainers are within your circle of influence thing.
Not to see where they are all the time, but just when they're near you.
Like 10 feet or something.All my friends are fucking normies I want to meet folk who share some of my interests
>>27071027
They will detect it and give u a soft ban for an hour or so. I dont know how to avoid detection yet
Does your range increase as you level up? It seems like it does.
