What are some of the most retarded myths you've heard people say about the Pokémon GO mechanics?
>the radar will blink if your compass/trainer is pointing the direction where the Pokémon you're looking is
>Weight and Height determine the stats of your Mons
>you can get Lures, Lucky Eggs, Incenses and Incubators at PokéStops
>there are shinies
>there are Pokémon locked to certain countries
>rustling leaves are Pokémon
>you can pick up Pokéballs if you miss
>legendaries are out there and people have found them
>naming your Eevee to American anime dub references determines what it'll evolve into

>>27228407
Its afucking big rumor that everyone think is real, it surprise me how stupid normies are.
>Niantic will fix their servers
>naming your Eevee to American anime dub references determines what it'll evolve into
That's real, retard
>>27228365
Does anyone know what weights/sizes actually do if anything?
>>27228365
wait a minute
i actually got lure and a lucky egg at a pokestop
>>27228466
No you didn't.
I thought the same once because I found items on my bag that I didn't knew I had and assumed I must've gotten them from a PokéStop. Then I looked on Serebii and it states that you get those after reaching a certain level.
>>27228498
i specifically remember seeing a lucky spit out of a pokestop
>>27228520
Are you certain it wasn't just an actual egg?
>>27228520
Or a regular egg?
>>27228407
>>27228422
>>27228423
>>27228431
Just saw two of my friends try it today and it worked. 1/9 chance isn't ridiculous but unusual. I guess I'll find out if I can get a flareon tonight.
>>27228365
The rustling leaves DO seem to correlate to spawn locations, at least, regardless of whether a Pokemon is actually there right now or not.
And I want to believe the Eevee thing is bullshit but there's too many people saying it works and very few saying it doesn't.
>>27228535
>>27228537
no it was grey, no green pokidots
>>27228587
Did you get it around the same time that you leveled up?
>>27228566
I tried the Eevee thing thinking it was visit since, while I do remember the episode or at least the associated characters, I had a hard time believing they would really reference that. But I tried it out of sheer curiosity, including restarting the game after turning to make sure it was registered, and I'll be fucked if it worked. Could have just been luck I guess but it's uncanny.
the pokeball tap retrieval works. aome i think it doesnt is because of lag
>>27228604
yeah maybe, but ibsaw it come out of the pokestop i frequent
>>27228546
>1/9
What the fuck are you talking about? There's a 33% that it will work.
>>27228604
i checked my journal and it not listed in amy of my pokestop visits. but inswear insaw in come out of one
>The game is going to be free of major glitches and perfectly functional with no lag in the near future
Definitely the most pants-on-head retarded rumor I've heard
>>27228616
It definitely doesn't. Take a look at the number of Pokeballs you have - does it increase when you tap a thrown ball? It does not.
>>27228691
>>27228667
33% X 33% = ?
Anyway, I tried it and it worked for me. Sparky got me my first Jolteon after two Vaporeons, and I'll try Pyro for a Flareon next time I get an Eevee which isn't terrible.
>>27228715
oh well then
it worked the dirst time tho
>>27228365
You can get Incense at Pokéstops, you fucktard. Depends on your level.
>>27228462
There's no evidence of them affecting anything. But Pokemon do have IVs, you just have no way of seeing them.
MY NINTENDO IS WORKING AT DAD
>>27228423
>>27228422
This has worked for me 6 times out of 6 eevees and for my roommate on both eevees they evolved. If it isn't real then a shit ton of people have gotten extremely good coincidences over and over again to the kind of probability percentages that do not exist outside of fantasy.
>>27228365
There ARE region locked pokeman, kanghaskhan is aus, tauros na, mr. Mime europe, farfetch'd asia
>>27228407
I tried this earlier today and it did work for me. Not saying it's true, but I have yet to be convinced that it's not true.
>>27231228
>>27231240
>>27231256
You know what's funny? I've seen a 100% success rate on that, it even worked for me and my friend 2 times each.
But this one unlucky fucker wanted a jolteon and named it "Sparky" and got a vaporeon.
I saw the whole thing. name was typed perfectly and I saw him evolve it.
What the fuck?
>>27231453
by 100% success rate, I mean other than that one time. So more like 80% since I've personally witnessed 5.
>>27231453
Honestly, I think it's not a guaranteed thing. It's just a boosted chance.
Like how in the main games, things like everstones can pass on natures, but only 50% of the time. So without the internet and datamining, most people would've called that a shitty rumor that doesn't actually work or something.
>>27231486
Yeah, but then why does every single person on the internet I've seen make a post claim a 100% success rate? Why bother making a 99.999% success rate?
>>27231498
A lot of the people in the reddit thread where this got discovered have reported it not working. The original post has been edited to say things like
>Make sure you close out of the game and reconnect to ensure the nickname is on the server instead of only being client side
>Might not be guaranteed more than one time in a row?
And stuff like that. Internet-wise, it definitely hasn't been 100%. There's a ton of hiccups.
>>27228365
I heard from someone that they saw a Chikorita, but it got away.
I remember when people were spreading rediculous rumors back when the game wasn't even in beta yet
>Pokemon Centers would cost money(they ended up not even being in the game)
>Pokeballs would be free, but great balls and up, along with potions would cost money
>The battles would be turn based like the games
Like seriously Theodore who were you trying to impress
>>27230715
No, you can't. If you have incense in your inventory you didn't buy, you got it from leveling up.
>If you put a specific pokemon on your radar, then hit the compass, it'll face you the way of that pokemon
At this point, when someone tells me a rumor that's been disproven or is obviously fake, i just smile and nod. tired of correcting retards
>>27228407
I tried this literally two minutes ago for a friend who was wondering if it worked and it worked for me.
>>27228365
I've heard all of these and than some.
>Higher level players attract 'better' pokemon if they drop the Lure
>I saw a hot girl playing and got her number
>>27228407
Worked for me 1 time but no luck after that for the next 5. And yes I did close the app and wait 10 minutes and everything made sure the names were fucking clear. It only works once I believe.
>>27230715
Not true you fucking idiot.
>>27231184
I like Mr. Mime and Farfetch'd though.
>>27232190
Best boot up NOX
>>27232209
have a NOX tutorial? I was using bluestacks but now it fucking crashes and I heard NOX you can move your character with arrow keys.
>>27232221
There's a download for NOX that comes with pokemon GO you really don't even have to set up shit just download set yur location and GO.
>>27232230
neat
>the radar will blink if your compass/trainer is pointing the direction where the Pokémon you're looking is
But this is true?
>>27228365
>"the server is up for me bro ;)"
>>27228427
Underrated
>the game is functional and enjoyable
Most retarded rumour I've seen in months.
I named an eevee Sparky and got a Jolteon, so, ya' know, 100% success rate for me. Also read on le reds that the original eevee's moveset determines evolution.
>>27231962
Hey, it's worked for me playing the mainstream pokemon games, it should work playing Pokémon Go as well.
>>27231566
Lies. There is nothing in the source code for it.
>>27231228
>>27231240
>>27231256
>different moves
Legit.
>>27228365
>you can get Lures, Lucky Eggs, Incenses and Incubators at PokéStops
I've never seen the other two, but 3 use incubators do drop.
>>27231566
Make them show it in their dex. It'll show as seen.
>>27235030
Nope, that's a level up prize.
>>27228423
>when you look even more retarded than the normies do right now
