>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 pastebin.com/spEFYmPw 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.

I am level 8 about to level 9 and I can evolve alot of shit, should I waste my dust on power leveling by using the lucky egg once I reach 9 or should I keep my dust and not evolve?
Julian Howard
So no matter what I do, I can't get a GPS signal. I'm starting at OSMTracker watching it update every few seconds, and yet the game just sits there with no signal.
What do I do? I can't even do shit with the starters.
Josiah Wilson
I'm the sole Yellow in a town inundated by reds and blues. They are all 1k+ while I'm barely scratching 700. I've taken all their gyms and they've taken all but one. How do I take back the night anons? I've been evogrinding and hunting as best as I can, but it's not enough because nothing is nearby.
Dominic Bailey
Evolving doesn't consume dust.
Grayson Powell
good thing i don't use gmail, docs, or photos

use a candy on hitmonlee, see how much cp he gains from one then multiply the cp gained by candies left and see what level itll be

Bentley Wood
Wait till you got 40-50 pokemon you can evolve so you can maximize your lucky egg usage.
As for leveling in general, level up asap. Higher level = higher cp pokemon.
Nathan Baker
I have a Clefairy with Zen Headbutt and Moonblast. Based on what Serebii.net says, it will retain Zen Headbutt if I evolve it, but how can I tell what its other attack will be? I want it to get Dazzling Gleam, not Psychic.

So you have any advice for new players?
Rolled in this morning, level 4, there are 5 pokestops less than 5 min from my house and a gym, is that good?
Should I save dust and candies until I have a lot of pokemons or start leveling pkmns asap?

Any ideas? Anyone?

They will soon, they're just trying to make sure the game actually works first.
Charles Davis
Evolve pokemon whenever, but don't use your powder until you're a higher level.
Christian Butler
any bugs I have get fixed by just restarting the app.
Jackson Gomez
don't waste dust so earl, i'd say wait till level 15 at least catch all trashmons like pidgeys pop a lucky egg evolve all of them at once for max exp gainz

no way this works
I've got a bike it's just not at my current house until next week. Have an old electric scooter too but battery is too old/dead
Lucas Turner
Not this one, it may or may not catch the mon, but I can't know until I restart the app, where it happens again and again.
I just wasted a fucking incense...
Hudson Williams
It works.
Joseph Collins
stop using the trip and kill yourself
Logan Mitchell
not him but it worked for me though I had a legit reason because the servers crashed every time i incensed google technically pays for it so the devs don't lose money

In a weekish some nigger is going to kill some little white child over their ghettos Gym.
Parents of the world will come together to ban this crime encouraging gang war in mobile game form.
Nintendo stocks start dropping and they panic and cancel the game.
It won't even be released in Europe.

Google looks into that shit eventually, it doesn't work most of the time.

Speaking about eggs I think I got one from a pokestop this evening but doesn't show up anywhere in my inventory, where should it be?

go to your pokemans top right there's a tab called eggs pop that shit in the incubator
Christian Parker
how do you pay and how do you ask for a refund? i would use my atm card
Zachary Nelson
Worked twice for me.
Gabriel Torres
I'm new. Should you just catch every pokemon you can, or can you pass on them and still level up fine? I don't wanna catch a bunch of useless mons to fill up my inventory and never use them.
Noah Barnes
That's the apk that's backdoored. From the play store isnt bad.
yeah i have a feeling they'll just charge you again if it turns out you still have them
catch everything, that's how you level.
Lucas Russell
catch em all
literally catch every single thing you see
yes especially the 1000 pidgeys
Nathaniel Gonzalez
I use one of my smaller credit cards (500 dollary doo limit) for online shopping then I just googled "google play store refunds"
Benjamin Allen
Catch everything, evolve them, and then transfer them.
Jaxon Perry
yeh i used my debit card, attach it to the play store buy credits in game then type refund google play into google, submit a thing and bam 15 mins later refund

So what happens if you fight at a gym where the leader is the same team as you? How do you become one of his "grunts"?
Carson Stewart
nani?
Asher Bell
Alright. That's a little gross. I guess I can just transfer them after I'm done. How long does evolving shit take?
Charles Powell
Evolve nets you xp too. Though only do it for Pidgeys, Weedles, and maybe Caterpies. Pokemon that only require like 12 candies to evolve
Dylan Adams
exp. horde up on those pidgeys/weedles and save them. then when you have a ton of candies, pop a lucky egg and evo them to pidgeotto/kakuna for 1k exp a pop.
Kayden Sanchez

>plebs without XPrivacy If you didn't care about your security that much, you shouldn't care now.
Gavin Cooper
So I know this is purely anecdotal, but whatever, I know some people are frustrated so I did some testing:
>Raticate symbol near me at work >work in commercial area with lots of roads >decide to test out "3 pawprint" bullshit
>slowly drive straight east >Raticate moves from the first symbol slowly down to the last symbol once I'm about a kilometer away >go back to start point >drive straight west >exact same thing
>back to start point >drive straight south >raticate stays near the top longer but still slowly drops from the list >holy fuck
>back to start point >drive straight north >Raticate completely disappears from the list >think "fuck someone caught him" >head back to office
>he fucking appears at the top of the list again but still has three paw prints >close out of game >re-open it
>the list of nearby pokemon is completely fucking different
I think that the reason people are fucking with the three paw print thing so much is because the list doesn't refresh itself when those pokemon get caught. I think if you can close out of the game and re-open and the pokemon is still there, it's obviously not caught yet and you can probably track it down. But I believe the reason people are finding there are some that they NEVER find is because that pokemon was caught by someone else and your list didn't update.
Juan Walker
Is it possible to team up with other trainers to take back a gym, or how does it work?
Jose Fisher
Most evolutions use up 12, 25 or 50 candies of the same evolution path. You get 3 candies for catching a mon and 1 more for transferring (letting go).
Cameron Carter
Evolving goes off of how many of that pokeon you've caught, I think.
I might have a different opinion later but honestly I'm mostly fine with all the shit I find.
Just hope the game's not extinct before they get to later gens.
Nicholas Lopez
>letting go me and you both know how you get those candies
Alexander Kelly
>Live in a city. >Pokestops and gyms around ever corner. >but it's hot as fuck >Can't go outside for more than 30 minutes without getting swamp ass and dehydrated.
They should have released this in the fall.
