/pgg/ Pokemon Go General

What level are you?

>About the game

>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.

>Some questions answered

Feel free to add more to the pastebin, keep it in the OP though.

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.

The game might have some big bugs, but I'm having a lot of fun for a free game. Not to mention how active I've been in the past 4 days.

First for INSTINCT

first for driving

At least we've actually been able to play it these past two days. Only saw the server go down for a stretch yesterday evening.

...

>tfw only people I've found playing so far is a fat asian guy and children

Why am I cursed to live in the burbs

You fuckers made two threads again. Can't trust you to do anything.

Any word on the rekease date for Europe?

I already have the game but what I'm really wondering is if they will reset my progress or if I should keep going.

>cp38
I'd cry if I caught that

what happens if you pokemon dies and you have no revives? are you just fucked

>Visit X Pokestops medal
Is that total or unique stops? I have 48 and it could really be either.

The coins are from gyms I promise I'm not a buyfag. REDS GET OUT

How do I know what pokemon to evolve or power up? Especially if the pokemon I decided on I have multiple of?

Also while I'm home can I just use a lure and wait for pokemon to spawn?

Have to wait for janitor to purge pgg

>dress in red
>pick blue

Theres no fucking blue clothes
It's bullshit
Fuck the items, I woulda spent money for clothes

i finally got a cubone! and my first eeveelution was jolteon my favorite of the three. feeling lucky tonight! how's everyone else's experience with the game so far?

hey, it's a nice shade of red

Does evolving pidgey to pidgeotto give the same exp as pidgeotto to pidgeot?

It's a WW2 aircraft carrier, the USS lexington

It's my fallback when all my typical names are taken

1 more level until Ultra Balls.

Yes. But you wont find as many as if we're walking around the lure.

goty material right here, better than no man's sky.

faggot

Really? I could barely play at all yesterday cause servers were down and today servers have been extremely laggy

Total, I've visied 50 or 100 and like maybe 20-30 unique

Rate me pgg

character creation was so fucking limited
why even have it beyond gender

Finally reached a decent level so I'm raking in some decent mons.
>tfw one more eevee away from being able to evolve

shit game but still fun

As a Pokemon fanatic this game is only made to make people go outside. I'll stay in and keep playing white version and not waste time

What does the line between gym lvl 5 and lvl 6 mean?

started late/10

Is it worth using all my stardust and shit to upgrade this cunt?

>out walking and checking for mons
>group of kids come up to me and ask if im playing
>tell them yes and we show each other our pokemon
>they ask why im playing as a girl if im a guy
>tell them girl characters hatch eggs faster and male characters have increased chance to catch pokemon
>they start going off at each other about who has the best bonus

Not worth the trouble of challenging.

Unless it's Yellow.

>CP273
No. xfer.

Come at me.

Post the fixed version.

HOLY SHIT ELECTABUZZ IN CENTRAL PARK BABY LETS GO

Wish I had a porygon

The game hasn't even released in my part of the world, friend

Why not just put USS Lexington or Lexington if that's too long?

anyone else getting lag/low fps when trying to capture a mon? Half my throws stop short since it doesn't seem to register my entire finger-swipe

>tfw live in central new jersey

theres literally nothing here

>central park at night
Enjoy your rape session.

be careful of exploding trashcans

maybe it's a voltorb

>Lure in a nearby park
>Notice the gym changes colors
>Take it back without having to be there thanks to spoofing

Why aren't you the spooky ghost of defending gyms

there's so many people around lmao pokemon go is takin over

>driving home when I pass a group of zubats and shadow of a golbat in a supermarket parking lot
>cool been wanting a golbat
>pull into the parking lot
>drive around a bit until i fidn the golbat
>cp26
I've had zubats that have 6 times more cp, fuck you game

approximately how much data does this game use per hour

>wanted a non shit burner phone for a while
>pokemon go comes out
It's pretty good one extra reason to buy a phone.
what's a good phone to buy, /pgg/?
please no bully

>take gym
>gym big church
>mon has jav code as name

hey Veeky Forums I really wanna join some Pokemon gatherings for mons since there are a lot in NY but I'm too shy. What do I do?

S7 or its edge counterpart are great

>Walk around my street for a few blocks
>Find a ~20 year old girl, a 9 year old boy, and what looks to be a late thirties woman
truly, bringing people together

>going to central park on a monday midnight
How much is your apartment rent?

They can't see pokemon names, just trainer names

Is there any added bonus for being king of the gym? Otherwise I don't see the point of putting my highest level guy on defense.

Get drunk?
Get high?
Say fuck it and stop being shy?

damn i thought i was cute

Ending my night with this crew. I wish Hunter wasn't so hard to level up. Takes tons of dust and candy already.

nokia

S7 is the new hotness

>NY pokemon gatherings
Wtf? Where do you find these?

>game restarts every time I switch apps
Fucking phone.

No, I just put a mid-tier while going around grabbing gyms so that I can attack a few gyms with my strongest

...

I don't drink or smoke ...
I dont have many friends here...

No. Unless you want to inflate your e-peen, save your highest CP monster for offense not defense. Cap 10 gyms and

Good idea. I will save my arcanine for offense then.

:^)

will look at it.
How is S5? bunch of fuckers selling new ones on craigslist and shit.

motorola, nexus, huawei or bust

I dunno, people around here don't sell you cheapo phones anymore so I had a knock off of the S5 for a while and thought it was fine.

AND WHAT, user?

If i go to the beach tomorrow and use the incense, would i get a lot of snek/pigeons or would i actually get water type pokemon?

Spoofing there now.

make sure to get one with a gyroscope.

Thanks I will put a mid-tier guy for defense then.

and fall down at somebody's door.

There are a bunch at Central Park, Union Square and bigger parks in the suburbs. Usually they have at least one gym and a lake

new meta

you can store: keys, cables, portable external battery charger, water bottle, wallet

...

When are they gonna add PvP battles like they've advertised in all their trailers?

Do you start seeing different pokemon at higher levels? I'm sick of seeing pidgeys and fucking rats.

Where are these setup online?

>take a gym with my friends
>"alright lads let's level it up a bit"
>"Nah dude that's boring lets move on"
>gym is taken back in five minutes

pls send me new friends, my currents are casuals

nigga it's not even out in the rest of the world.

There already is PVP battles. Carry your choice of weapon around as you walk, identify another PoGo. Stare intensely, shout at them so they can't run away, and attack.

anyone else hoping for a different combat system for pvp?

mate that's obviously a gym

You're cute to me user

>group of friends organizing a trip to the beach to catch water types

There's some kind of nation wide 'walk' next Saturday in my country. I don't think I'll be going though.

>I'm sick of seeing pidgeys and fucking rats.
Pidgeys are the key to getting to level 25. You better not be sick of them already.

>tfw you are the only person with your color in the town

Feels lonely man

I use an iPhone 6 because it's the best phone

Anyone know?

Start?

Neither do I. But that's mainly because I'm just shit at maintaining relationships. Talk about pokemon and other vidya. If the person you're talking to isn't into that, ask them what they like and what it's like/how it works/how'd they first get into it.

If you get bored or uninterested, find somebody else to talk to
