>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.

Question: Is AR mode worth using, or should I just turn it off? Sometimes I see funny pictures like a pokemon sitting on a trash can or someones dinner plate. Does the game automatically try to do stuff like this or does it just happen at random?
Jaxson Long
why cant you stream driving on twitch now, is that new?
Aiden Long
Reckful happy again FeelsGoodMan
Justin Anderson
didn't someone get one out of an egg?
Robert Flores
I heard the cause for pokemons getting stuck when catching is not having AR on so maybe. You'll look like a creep though.

AR makes it easier to catch them and uses less battery.
AR is fun for about 5 minutes
Jacob Morgan
>mfw they are somewhere near my house all the time >still not found one
soon I will find their hiding place, then an OP Magneton will be mine!

William Sanchez
I did as well. Shit CP

>live next to a state park >walking path that runs along a river > "hell yes, probably going to be rolling in pokemon and water types" >there's fucking nothing for miles and miles > 0 water types
I was honestly expecting parks to be like safari zones
Isaac Clark
Some user said he still had problems after testing with AR on.
Was the first sentence supposed to say "No AR"? Because AR probably uses more battery and makes them harder to catch
Ayden Foster
>tfw there's been at least 1 lure up at my work pretty much all day so I can catch mons all day w/o having to go anywhere
Thanks random people

Will they eventually implement changing your avatar or should you just make a new account? I don't want to make accounts I won't use but if it's unlikely that they'll change it..

yeah, sorry.

HOW DO PEOPLE JUST TALK TO EACH OTEHR LIKE THAT WHAT THE FUCK IT'S TERRIBLE
Camden Garcia
Anyone see this yet? A friend showed me it.
Brayden Sanders
Has anyone attempted to go full Joey and get a Rattata in the top fucking percent?
Hudson Martinez
I'm suffering from an almost gamebreaking bug. Every time I hit a pokemon with a pokeball the ball just stays there on the ground. Basically, every time I try to catch something I have to restart the app, not knowing if the capture succeeded or not. anyone else has this?
Jordan Lewis
West Linn / Tualatin here found a magikarp hole with charmanders and bunch of pokes tops near by. gonna farm this for the day
Isaac Ward
Occasionally

Ryder Gray
There is a medal for getting Rattatas that are of a certain status so I catch each one I see

I live in a rural area and this game was fun until I ran out of pokeballs.
It turns out that the closest pokestop is 7 miles away, and the nearest gym is 9 miles away at an entrance to a state park.
Did a 20 mile hike through some of the trails in the park and saw only 4 pokemon. They really need to add more pokemon to state parks.
I don't even know what to do now. Can I e-mail them and ask them if they could make the few houses around me into pokestops? My nearest neighbor is about a mile or so down the road.
Rural America is awful for Pokemon Go :(
Asher Gonzalez
Can you switch to 3 g?
Leo Watson
Don't let your phone fall asleep
Elijah Stewart
You can try. But it's not going to happen.
Aiden Jackson
>only level 10
Settle down junior.
Jaxon Wood
nah its because its based on your gps signal, if its spotty you're not going to get all the miles
Carson Green
10 candies for the specific pokemon that you hatched.
Hope for shit like Pidgeys -> Evolve them with the bonus candy from hatching -> earn EXP -> Gain trainer levels.
>tfw when my group active shits on people from other teams.
One showed up at a Lure stop for me yesterday.
Also, am Valor.
Juan Allen
Should have played ingress two years ago bro

Well that sucks. I can't really enjoy online games because the internet around here sucks dick. Was really looking forward to this game.

>I also live next to a creek which runs up to a park >I went to the park and there were like 20 people there all catch pokemon >people kept putting down lures next to the pokestops so to pokemon kept on coming >I talked to some folks and found out about some more spots from them
Mfw this game let's me make friends in a natural way
Dominic Diaz
Too bad even small towns here have 3-4 stops and a arena. You need only 2 spots with a 5 minute walk between.
Alexander Ortiz
>have LG Wine >need to carry it open in my hand all the time
Fuck.
Julian Allen
If I upgrade the gym, can I stick 4 pokes in there or is it one poke per player per gym?
Levi Carter
hey guys i did a meme: >bae: "come over im horny" >me: "ok baby omw" >bae; "hurry up" >me: "sorry found a pikachu on pokemon go"
The energy saving modus works for me. Activate it and hold the phone down.
Eli Baker
I don't have a gyroscope in my samsung A5....
Not 100% fun.
Matthew Roberts
What's a good power bank to travel as I play PokeGO and to have a backup power in general, Anons? Was thinking of getting pic related. It's for 20$ or so on Amazon.
Alexander Bennett
you are asking Veeky Forums to mess with a reddit doc, what the fuck is wrong with you
Evan Ross
People keep recommending Anker
Hunter Green
Get an Anker
Best brand
Bentley Thompson
This is top of the line anker shit It's currently out of stock or something though so you'll have to wait like me if you want it anker.com/products/B1372014

"Can't evolve due to an unknown error"
What does this mean and how can I fix it?
Aiden Young
>ingress map thing is fucked because of mapquest
Ethan Gonzalez
Try again will fix it.
Carson King
>get home >connect my phone to the charger >after 2 hours realize the usb cable isn't connected to the charger
CAN I JOIN THE YELLOW TEAM NOW?
Jayden Butler
Damn, Anker is pretty awesome actually, it's a shame it's sold out. Thanks guys.
Samuel Clark
There's no such option, only "ok".
Tried catching a pokemon and the game just said "error" so I think all of this is just because the servers are borderline melting
Jackson Bailey
FUCK YOYU INGRESSMAP
Zachary Brooks
Do you earn coins or whatever by just playing? I'm tempted to use an incense since I'm out in the middle of nowhere, but I don't wanna waste a non-renewable resource.
Carter Turner
only if you take over a gym
Josiah Hill
How do battles work in this game? I saw someone and it looked like they just tapped on the screen really fast or something.
William Adams
change the map then? You can pick Google maps
Eli Robinson
I just googled something like "pokemon go data statistics" to see if anything like this existed, so I don't care too much what people do to someone else's doc that can easily have edgy vandalism changes reverted and access locked.
