>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.
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.

Jonathan Russell
Should I invest in this guy for his moveset?
Hudson Parker
Don't sideload. Just wait your fucking turn. Look what you're doing? Nobody can play because of you.
Liam Campbell
Some people need it because google play denies their phones access
Jayden Gomez
>Just used an attract potion >servers crash after 4 minutes
did this just get wasted?
Carson Wood
No. It'll change as soon as you evolve him. Evolve first then level him up.
Cooper Turner
It will change when you evolve him. Better to do that first then see what you get I'd say. That or, if he has high potential pop him in some gym for awhile after powering him up. Even if his evo turns out to be shit later you'll be reaping sweet rewards for now.
Christian Fisher
some people should stop being poor and get a new phone
Jace Garcia
Some people will dominate you gym even if they have shit phones, faggot.
Jaxson Russell
>waste 20 pokeballs on a Beedrill >just give up Seriously what the fuck.
Ryder Flores
But the app does work still, it's just google play not recognizing it as so. It's not the phone's hardware fault.
Carson Bailey
Fossilmon fucking WHERE
David Cook
No you won't.
Oliver Jenkins
Yeah, because if you were in our position you would totally wait and not download the APK.
Wyatt Jackson

Carson Reed
Caught a magmar today with 453cp Could not for the life of me find the bulbasaur or scyther in my area...
Anyone know what clicking on a pokemon in the nearby menu does? Like track them or something? It looked like when I clicked on a mon my sprite turned in the direction i should walk in to find it, but I am terrible with directions and got all turned about when i'd start walking again
Jonathan Wright
git gud
Kayden Sanchez
anyone else get kicked from the servers and not able to log in again?
Bentley Thomas
You faggots are ruining the game for everyone who can actually play it right now. You selfish pieces of shit are actually making the game unplayable. Can you not comprehend that? Get a fucking life.
Carson Hill
I didn't miss. Fucker just didn't want to say inside.
Kevin Howard
Post location and what pokemon you've caught.
Gavin Nelson
I just wanna catch my bro and train him to be the strongest.
I caught a Ivysaur during work today, there was a Scyther but it was all the way on someone else's property.
Henry Moore
so should you evolve low CP or high CP pokemon?
Nicholas Collins

Jason Edwards
Good. The whole town will soon be red and I will lead all the gyms, while your blue shit tier pokemon struggle and die.
It just focuses that pokemon. The footprints indicate how far away they are. Based on the beta it's something like, 1 paw = 20m, 2 paws = 40-60m 3 paws = 60m+
William Sanchez
Why do you have 3 Pidgeots?
Isaiah Diaz
You're the one trying to get your way into a MOBILE GAME that simply isn't supported for your area. How fucking lame can you be?
Colton Wood
>Mum the kuffars make me lose my pkmns
Look at this sperglord.
Jose Gomez
But it can be supported and not allow you to download through the official store still.
Jace Barnes
Go to the App Store or google play and it will be there
Ethan White
High CP. Transfer all your low CP pokemon to Willow so he can grind them into candy. The higher the CP of the pokemon the higher they will be when they evolve. My Eevee was 298CP before I evolved him into an 875 Vaporeon.
To reinforce gyms with. You get a defender bonus for every gym you have pokemon in, up to 100 coins a day. I have a bunch of Pidgeots because I catch a ton of Pidgeys in the city and get a ton of Pidgey candy, so they're easy to evolve and get a decent CP.
William Scott
>tfw I went outside Is there anything Nintendo can't do?
Anthony Gray
Not yet for Europe.
Zachary Turner
>phone has no gyro >cant enjoy ar >literally the selling point of the game >uninstall
Maybe when I get a new phone in 3 years.
William Sanders
Can you feed pidgeys to pidgeot or do you need to evolve them?
Jace Robinson
>tfw cant evolve scyther y live
Jaxson Walker
How do you guys decide whether or not to grind up your duplicates?
Based on their skill set, starting CP?
Nicholas Long
It wasn't, I had to grab the apk from somewhere else. Despite someone else 5 feet from me at the moment being able to download it without issue.
Grayson Perez
Everyone turns off AR almost immediately. It's a nuisance.
>Can you feed pidgeys to pidgeot Pretty much. You transfer pokemon to Professor Willow who gives you candy for whatever pokemon you gave him. All evolved forms use the candy of the original, so Pidgeot and Pidgeotto use Pidgey candy for example.
Alexander Gonzalez
so should I power up my pokemon before evolving them if they are close to max cp already?
Ian Nguyen
>tfw living in a roman and medieval city with ancient churchs, ruins and castles all around dis gon b gud
also should i feel bad for having picked Squirtle and wanting to get in V A L O R?
Nathaniel Carter
>turns off ar
So whats the point? I'd rather just play real pokemon.
Parker Fisher
I turned off AR because if I'm just walking around town I don't give a shit. Orienting the camera just adds an extra bit of bullshit to throwing the pokeballs. It's annoying
Josiah Powell
CP, as soon as they evolve they get a new moveset.
Evolve them first, them raise their CP. Evolved pokemon gain more CP than non-evolved ones.
So you don't look like a faggot taking photos of everyone.
Josiah Martin
seems like valor is the easiest way to bolster gyms safely and get massive points.

It's more so you don't get punched in the face for throwing your balls at the weedle on Chads gf's arse mate.
Sebastian Moore
So... my understanding is that a Pokemon's potential is almost completely unrelated to whatever CP you catch it at. Just the higher on the "arc" it is, the less resources you have to spend to max it out.
Is potential tied to height and weight like people thought it was? I've heard the starters' potential is really high and all the ones I've seen so far are XL in both, which kind of makes me want to believe that...
But are height and weight randomized like Moves are at evolution? That would totally ruin any attempt to strategize.
Hunter Allen
>not going around at night to avoid people the only reason i'm not out there yet is beacause of social anxiety
Jeremiah Wright
Jokes on you Indiana has no sidewalks so I'd never run into people catching pokemon in random ass hills.
why I just want to walk around and play pokemon
Dylan Baker
Their potential CP is related to your trainer level. As you level up your trainer you can level pokemon higher. Think of your trainer level as gym badges. You need to have a certain badge for a higher level pokemon to obey you.
Jack Flores
does location actually matter in the type of pokemon you can catch
it seems like it changes randomly
Luis Cruz
>game doesn't log in
Ian White
keep trying.
I got in this morning, booted after a few hours, then it took me like 20 minutes of trying to get back in.
Xavier Parker
So how do eggs work? I've collected about 4 so far and they aren't in my items list and the incubator says it cannot be used. Do I just keep walking until something happens?
Brayden Ward
There is a fucking Gyarados in the center of my lake. WTF?!
Eli Peterson
go to pokemon, then swipe to eggs. click one and you can place it in the incubator. i recommend getting a couple at once if you can so you can hatch them fast.
Nicholas Rogers
Anyone else have an issue with sound disappearing from the game entirely after another app makes a sound? I was hoping I could listen to music while walking around and still get a notification sound from Pokémon Go when a Pokémon appears, but as it stands, it just mutes even if I get a text or something. Only fix I've found is a reboot of the app which sucks considering the servers are a bit unstable.
Landon Rivera
Not for the most part, but you're more likely to get water pokemon near lakes and shit. I've actually picked up a couple gastly near a building that's rumored to be haunted though. LAKE OF RAGE
Oliver Turner
You have to use the incubator. I don't know what your issue is. You can only use one incubator for one egg at a time. Everyone has a infinite use one if you want to level multiple however, you need to pokestop.
Eli Nguyen
go to your pokedex, at the top there's an eggs tab
you can put them in an incubator and they say how far you gotta walk to hatch them
Andrew Moore
WHAT COLOR IS IT
Brandon White
there is an eggs tab in your pokemon menu click on egg and assign it to an incubator
Juan Allen
but i'm from shitaly i think they discovered we're sneaking in the game so they cut our legs
Caleb Edwards
It's half, half. Lots of RNG but the RNG is informed by location.
Ian Ramirez

There's a Machamp near me, but how do I know which direction to walk to find it? There are multiple shaking brushes. Also: Are encounters random? Should I stand around shaking bushes and wait or what?

Connor Kelly
went out to a cemetery today and caught a few ghastly. they had 4 tombstones that were pokestops and they each gave a little blurb about the dead person I captured the gym at the cemetery's center monument so i will have to take some screenshots when i go back tomorrow of the stops
Jack Mitchell
Shaky bushes are the usual suspects. They AREN'T guaranteed mons. Mons are often near them but on the other hand a load of mons move on their own, roaming around in their little spawn radius.
Aiden Campbell
Is there a way to see how rare a pokemon is? Are there shinies?
Gavin Mitchell
Anyone?

Yes you retard. Don't just ask questions all willy nilly, especially easily researched and answered ones like that.
Depends on your hood, mate. I've heard that the retard Americans split red v blu so you'll want to be one of them. Best team for me is yellow as it's popular in my area and I know others who are also yellow.

Nicholas Miller
Incuberate eggs at the same time
Brayden Sanchez
Simultaneous hatching.
Camden Rodriguez
You can get a lot of eggs, get more incubators to work on multiple eggs.

Nah mate, Copper Coast area
Elijah Reed
Am I wrong here or is thast still weak af?
Bentley Ramirez
>waiting for your phone to charge Gee, I want to be a damn pokemon master already.
Zachary Collins
pretty weak to start, and probably can't power up much past 300. not great.
Luke Hernandez
What the fuck, if you're from Kadina im going to lose it. I go down there for work from Pirie all the time
