>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.
Gyms: Fight at your team's gym to train and increase it's reputation. Fight at other team's to decrease their reputation. Tap your opponent to hit them, swipe left or right to dodge attacks, once one or more blue bars are filled, tap and hold to power up your secondary attack, release when the smaller blue bar fills up. Take over other teams' gyms and put your mons in to defend them.

1st for pikachu starter pokemon master race

/pgg/, since so many normies play this, will I get a gf from playing it? I got something in common with them now, and I can probably hold of on the spaghetti for some time

How can I catch pokemon without leaving my house?

>tfw most of the gyms in this area are untouched

Buy a ds

If pokemon go is the only thing you have in common with them then they'll just get bored of you

go is a decent casus bellis to use to initiate conversations with people for autists like me who literally cannot talk to people unless they feel like they have some sort of justification for it

Fuck Nintendo not fixing this Trainer Club shit sooner.

On the first day I caught a bunch of stuff I liked, got a name I liked and now I can't log on due to Trainer Club servers being fucked. I ain't fucking switching to Google.

throw a pidgey in there for free coins
replace them later

...

>you know, there ain't no rest for the servers
>bandwidth don't grow on trees
>too many cucks playin'
>instead of waitin'
>for the game's official release
>you know they cant slow down
>they cant hold back
>although everyone wishes they could
>oh, there ain't no rest for the servers
>until they shut it down for good

>Live in a town with 1400 pop
>Some fuck threw a pigdey in the single gym in town
>It's yellow
>Bout to go throw a 300cp exeggcute in there for red
I'm in Canada, felt lucky having a gym and pokestop not just in my town but 1 and 2 blocks down the street from me

How do I interpret that white arc?
Height/weight has no influence, I assume?
How do I know what a good moveset is? Just go for the higher number? Can 2 pokemons have the same moves with different damage?
Can you use more than 1 pokemon in a gym fight? If so, how? It seems to default to my strongest.

let's spread the word that you need to throw the phone to catch a pokemon

I got a load of these, if anyone is interested I'll dump on on mega later today.

Shit, I just remembered I live not too far from a nuclear power plant. I must break in to get my Electabuzz

kek

What does it mean?

Also something interesting
>Servers go down earlier when I encountered a Paras
>Didn't even get a chance to throw a pokeball
>When servers are back up I have a Paras already in my party
This seems exploitable

I swear i must live in Pallet town or something. Only Pidgy, Rattata, Spearrow around me. It's nice that I've got plenty of pidgy/rattata candy so they can be maxed out but trashmon < cool shit you guys post.

>300 cp

Might as well throw a turd on there

>just started and barely level three
>find and catch this motherfucker

Why would I report 3 (three) easy defends for myself? The only people I have to worry about are my coworkers, and since I run a later shift I always end the day with them under my control.

>haven't been able to log on all day
Help

Probably just because people were complaining about losing progress or having characters wiped entirely that they are safeguarded against it now. Client is probably being given extra leniency over server until things get more stability.

Went faster as expected, forgot our internet got upgraded recently:

Ponyta master race reporting in.

Who /Worriedaboutdata/ here?
I got a 500 mb plan and while it seems fine so far, I still worry.

GIVE SERVERS BACK

What all do you guys carry around on your expeditions?

I usually carry just the basics in my red rock pack
>nalgeen filled half with ice, half water
>some nutrigrain bars
>2 12000ma battery banks
>the regular shit I keep in my range/go bag that I never take out like a box of ammo, spare mags, surefire ep6 plugs
>flash light for late night catching
>Walther PPQ in 9mm in my aegies armory holster
>keys
>hat
>sunglasses

I believe it, but what are those black dots that pulse and I've seen all over the place?

>tfw city wide wifi

feels good man

>YFW THE PRESIDENT IS THE CHAMPION BATTLE AND GEN 2 POKEMON UNLOCK AFTER SOMEONE BEATS HIM

>tfw I can't play
>tfw I need to verify my account
>tfw I can't because its still on maintenance

Now, if I could play I would have my 10,000ma/H battery bank, I literally lost 20% of my battery in one hour just ot try to log in. Probably bottle of water or sweet black tea.

TWC in my are has city wide wifi, but my roommates dont know their accoutn info for me to access it. But with so much open wifi in my town I guess it could still be considered city wide wifi.

We better do this before Trump gets sworn in, I'd hate to fight a wall team. None of my pokemon even know toxic

.40 Shield
Flashlight
Water
Bike with generator attached
I stop to get food somewhere in town
Moto 360(can reply to messages without closing app)

>I'm in Canada
What. Am I retarded or how are you able to download this already?

These server issues are bullshit.

you are retarded

APKs m8

>battery pack
>water
>snacks
>tools

i stuck a ram mount on my dirt bike, this has just given me another excuse to go innawoods

>servers are dead
>again

I just take water with me. If I ever get hungry there'll be a fast food place nearby

Is the game just going to remain unplayable during USA midday until the hype dies down?

nigger you're defeating the purpose of going out and walking around

I weigh 120 pounds, I'm not getting overweight until my 30s. Besides, I haven't actually eaten anywhere yet

APKs are ruining the experience for the rest of the world, stop mentioning them pls

There's more to walking around than getting exercise

anyone has already modded the apk for 4.2.2 devices? is it possible tho?

>cargo shorts
>longboard
>fanny pack with small water bottle and battery pack
>clip on speaker blasting 2 B A Master and various eurobeats

I like to travel lightly. When it gets stupidly hot out I may consider going shirtless.

Then what are you complaining about? I'll just be going on my regular jogging route and places I normally drive to like the beach and walk around until I get a friend to go to the desert or one of the mountains near me

yaaaaaaaaaaawn
This game is boring. And shit.

PLAY

INGRESS

no

Lmaooo, nice counterargument

k

people who type like you are playing ingress

ergo, ingress is for faggots and nobody is going to play it

checkmate

>been trying to workout
>too fat
>started biking to lose weight, do 11 miles every other day
>Pokemon Go comes out
AH yeah. Now to bike around and make a route that takes me through the most pokestops and maybe gyms through downtown LA.

as for gear
>2, 1 liter thermos with cold water
>some fruit (banana or an apple)
>reflective jacket, flashlight, light gear on my bike
>small bike pump
>boonie hat for hot/sun
>helmet for high traffic areas

To be honest, I might start making my routes longer or maybe just bike every day.
The game is shit, but it gives me something to plan around now.

Late night GO is comfy as fuck. I took a 2 hour long walk after midnight and capped 8 gyms with no errors from the game.

Woke up in the morning and collected my 100 coins/5000 dust

any1?
i just want to play some pokego

Reminder to keep your AR on so you don't pass up the chance to meme

Reminder to throw curveballs when catching mon for that extra XP

Are there immunities in this game?

How closely does this game follow typing and weaknesses?

These are only mildly amusing

>5000 dust
I think I might be taking a stroll tonight

Anyone able to play?

Think I'll do this tonight
Too bad most gyms here are filled with 500 cp while I'm at 300 cp

Has anyone figured out how to switch between google accounts to buy stuff?

I have a bunch of google rewards money, but it's not letting me select that account (which is the one I signed up with)

Literally no one

Be honest, how much real money have you spent on this already?

0, eu here, waiting patiently. In the future, 0.

None because there's no need to pay for anything when pokestops are around

༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ SERVERS TAKE MY ENERGY ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

40 for incense

>40 for incense

You can get 386 hours worth for $19.99

I spent $5 for incubators so far.

>tfw i can't get ar to work
anyone else having this problem?

6 and the servers go back up

Same, I spent $5 on incubators to get things moving but now that I have 10 gyms on lockdown I have no reason to buy coins since I get a free 100 coins/5000 dust every morning.

>Use an incense
>Server immediately shits itself, as always
>Get back on
>Incense isn't doing anything

Every

buy a new phone

Dubs and servers start working again

I'm trying to spend money, but the game isn't connecting to the right google account where all my rewards money is
:(

>decide to go outside
>can't connect to servers

Nice game you have there

Can't The Pokemon company put their names on this trash. It's like playing an alpha.

curveballs are so hard to hit though

I throw curveballs but they don't do anything. I got excellent once.

Once you claim a gym, can you claim the rewards right away? And how many gyms at a time can you claim?

if it was a true curveball it would give you extra XP

The fuck is a true curveball?

ive gotten curveball every single catch, i dont know what it means

the 2 gyms near me are blue. should i join blue or should i join yellow?

Caught a Golbat today first time playing. Haven't even got a Zubat which everyone seems to crying about to catch, though I must of wasted 30+ pokeballs on that Golbat. Now I have 1 pokeball left... And servers are down.

Is there a way to see an entire city's map with gym and pokestop locations?

blame the people in non-supported areas cheating the system and overloading the servers

Pokemon go?
More like Pokemon go offline

>actually want to go outside to play pokemon
>no servers

Hopefully later

Anyone in the Vegas area? I'm here for 3 weeks but can't catch pokemon in my area because military. Gotta find a decent place to walk around and catch shit.

Is the game up for anyone?

No, I blame the creators for using it as a cheap cash cow. This shit isn't exactly hard to predict.

Don't know what you're all bitching about, I haven't had one single problem connecting

Canada here.

Downloaded apk and had server issues as soon as i finished creating my avatar. So i'm guessing i got immediately banned. Hopefully my google account hasn't been permanently blacklisted :(

>on a bus to Ohio
>about to pass through Indiana
>servers are down

Hope I'm not missing out on any region exclusive mons.
