>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.

fuking heck i can't find any POKE MON
David Parker
WHERE IS TAUROS??
Gabriel Powell
This chart is fake as fuck, piss off.
Cameron Butler
He's fairly common in my neighborhood. Two gyms within sight of my house have a tauros on them
Andrew Gray
Does this mean there is no way to get another starter pokemon?
Jeremiah Kelly
Isn't anyone who starts late completely screwed? Half the gyms in my town are take by CP 500+ pokemon now even though it's only been one day.
Brody Russell
How am I doing
Christopher Ramirez
Don't be a faggot. Go team Mystic.
Caleb Garcia
The chart is fake. Rarity depends on your region.
And it's definitely, 100% confirmed possible to get all starters.
Michael Hall
How long until they add the feature to battle other players you see on the street? Fuck trading
Henry Gutierrez
Is it just the first 150 pokémon?

>Squirtle appears near me >I chose Charmander as a starter >it broke out of 4 pokeballs then ran away FUUUUUCK
Noah Taylor
Welcome to niantic games. At least in Ingress you could easily level to 8 and higher levels didn't really matter, though veterans still have comfy home portals which you can't submit anymore. GO looks to be even more top-heavy.
Juan Thomas
How are some of u people catching pokemon at home? are you using incenses?
Isaac Evans
That's why I asked though. Are you retarded?
Lucas Gomez
so theres nothing on my map or wild pokemon around??
what gives?
maybe is it cause its not out on my country?
Noah Murphy
>Have a shitter tablet that I can play on >Don't have GPS shit so I have to wait for pokemon to come say hi kill me
Hunter Harris
incense or spoofing
Elijah Scott
Where do you even get lucky eggs? At lvl 6 and it takes for fucken ever to level up, but I have a bunch of candies to evolve pokemon for exp.
Lincoln Williams
Has anyone here found grimer/muk yet?
Zachary Evans
>tfw level 5 while havent left home I like this game
Jaxson Cook
Isnt it 152? I've seen people post pictures of Celebi on the national mall & reflecting pool on FB but no one can even hit it with a pokeball, and there were screenshots of her there in the version before this
Nicholas Green
>tfw couldn't get outside since release >tfw hopelessly fell behind eveyone
Chase Myers

Connor Baker

Benjamin Price

Anything that's common with 3 evolution forms are GOAT

Hudson Flores
Mew is only in time square during certain days of the year
Owen Edwards
is there any working spoofer for android?
Eli Martin
...
Jacob Green
This "Near me" feature is stupid, it doesnt even give you directions like north or south. You just have to randomly walk with your dick in your hand and hope for the best along the way
Bentley Robinson
Could be a server connectivity problem. Restart the app maybe?
Brayden Reyes
>threads tell me that parks are a shoe-in for good/frequent Pokemon spawns >walk out all the way to the nearest park
>literally one Pidgey in the entire area
I was in a dark green, game-identified park too. Multiple Pokestops.
Why do you lie to me, PGG?
Tyler Miller
Do the accomplishment badges give any kind of reward? xp? they seem pointless
Levi Stewart
>name pokemon "BlueMeetHere" and shove it into the nearest Gym >wait there >make new best friend
gl user, maybe it's a qt shota boy
Jeremiah Peterson
Which one of you fucks is JediJared and how the fuck do you have a 1112 Venusaur defending the post office less than a week of this coming out?
Connor Turner
>Rhyhorn very rare This asshole is near me 24/7, sometimes 3 of them, tf you talking about.
Brayden Howard
>can't connect Fucking murricans get the fuck off my servers
Justin Gonzalez
its been like this for a couple days now
Jeremiah Price
So, this is all well and good for us playing now. How on earth does someone catch up if they start playing this app a year from now?
Kevin Murphy
I like how they spread out what mons you find. You aren't the best trainer. You're just a little shit like everyone else you're stuck with your pidgy army until some rich little shit that can travel the world and dedicates his life to training comes and brutally fucks your common gym. True to life
Pokemon was a mistake
Adam Johnson
There's some guy on the red team with a FFXI name any time a red gym gets taken over it takes him
Owen Rivera
They don't.
Welcome to F2P gaming.
Liam Jackson
Is going innawoods profitable if there's no pokestops there?
Caleb Turner
>UH BUT MY ANECDOTE DISAGREES WITH COMMON STATISTICS XD This site is for 18+, thanks and goodbye
Aiden Rogers
Just spoof the shit out of your gps fam
Easton Ward
Sounds like Gary
Who's gonna be our Ash?
Jacob Nguyen
IAP ',:^)
Caleb James
>Staryu rare I live near a river and it is always near me, caught like 5 of them, they are not that rare.
Elijah Cook
Also hyper beam
Carson Sanders
do i need to root my phone to do that? I've tried rooting so many times and never get it to work
Christian Miller
>turning GPS ON/OFF to make my charecter move from my bed lel going outisde
Jaxson Adams
Anyone here GPS spoofing? How long have you been at it? How well does it work? How safe is it to not get banned?
Jacob Davis
not him but common statistic isn't showing any source the graph itself is probably based on a serie of anectotes
Joseph King
>welcome to f2p gaming
no welcome to any game with a leveling system what the fuck are you talking about the same could besaid about anything
Luke Thompson
What country? south america as a whole are pretty much turned off. Spoof your GPS to somewhere on NY to check if your game is working
Jaxon Jackson
I tried earlier but found absolutely nothing. It seems there's a certain range around pokestops where they can spawn.
Henry Nguyen
>using memes to prove me wrong >fails EKS DI If its 18+ get out then.
Logan Lopez
No. Pokemon appear more commonly the more pokestops are nearby. If you go for a hike in some remote location you'll find almost nothing.
Ayden Barnes
>serie of anectotes which is how you get statistics if only 1 person out of 1000 gets a rhyhorn then they're rare who fucking cares if they're common for you personally
Ian Nelson
top lel, I approve of this shitpost
Joseph Johnson
XL mons evolve to XS every single time i swear
Luke Ward
Yes. There are billions of guides and tutorials on google for you to search. Go do your homework.
Brandon Sanchez
The difference with most games is that you're paired with people roughly your same level. It encourages balanced play because they want to retain as many users as physically possible.
F2P games specifically cater to the 10% of the userbase that will become so obsessed and attached that they end up spending hundreds of dollars on an otherwise worthless game.
Cooper Sanders
This has been my experience as well
Bentley Brown
>only 5 pokestops nearby ugh
Nathaniel Jenkins
who tells me the graph isn't made by only one person? where are the proofs?
Angel Ross
It's both Gary and ash. Some fuck comes to your town murders your gym with his autism. He doesn't sleep he rides a bike everywhere. You're just trying to have fun with the mons you can find around you. His autism takes the joy of Pokemon away from you.
Eli Cooper
>You just have to randomly walk with your dick in your hand and hope for the best along the way
no you don't. In the near me selection select the pokemon you want to track and when you're walking in the correct direction it will flash
Luis Cruz
>if only 1 person out of 1000 gets a rhyhorn then they're rare >no source >its on the internet so its true Off yourself.
Jonathan Long
GO BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY IT'S A NORTH AMERICAN SERVER FOR NORTH AMERICANS REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Mason Allen
You think it would be a good idea to play this while walking my doge?
Easton Price
>epic >magmar >that one dude who has like 50 magmars
Jacob Cook
define nearby
I have 1 around the corner and 2 a little way down the street, but if I take a 30 minute walk I'm in the center of town and (atleast on Ingress) are a fuck ton up there
Carson Sanders
>only 2 >3km away from each other >one in front of a restaurant so I can't visit too often or they'll know
Bentley Baker
Yes. Get a powerbank just incase.
Kevin Lopez
No way this gps is fucked. It stops flashing when walking the right way like every time
Gabriel Cox
Continuing from the last thread...
I think pokemon differ by region. I live way out in the desert (New Mexico) and aside from the usual weak-ass shit, I've only been finding Safari-zone and fire-type pokemon. No water types, no electric types, no psychic types. Only bug or grass type I've seen is Paras. I don't think it's a coincidence.
Post the region where you live and what's common around there.
Isaiah Ramirez
Did this all day today
Was p funny
Anthony Miller
A very good idea. I always turn it on when I take her out to go walking.
great for hatching eggs
Mason Edwards
like within view of the map from where i am
Jose Brooks
>Weedle/caterpie are nowhere to be found >Haven't seen a single doduo
Elijah Russell
holy fuck, your dog can see it too. I need to buy a dog maybe then I'll find the fucking good pokemans
Michael Flores
las vegas, tons of ponyta, tauros, magmar, geodude, paras and ekans
pretty accurate desu
Hunter Miller
It always works for me.
Maybe pay more attention to the way the character is walking on your screen than the way you're actually walking to get a better idea of the direction. Sometimes the character doesn't walk the exact same direction as you
Isaiah Turner
>boo hoo only 5 Pokestops within a 5 minute radius :'(
