>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.

How long did the game keep you outdoors and out of your room today?
>4 hours
Luis Sanders
Anyone else notice how there are fucking NO steel or dark types in this game? What gives?
Cooper Edwards
Who /nopokestopswhereyoulive/ here?
John Gutierrez
>no steel types What is magnemite
Adam Ross
gen 1 son
Ian Cox
i have 2 and a gym within 2 mins of me, but then nothing else nearby, so its not too bad
magnemite is the only steel type in the original, so go catch him senpai
Chase Hughes
because they're both introduced in gen 2 you dumb fuck
Christopher Long
7. I tore a ligament in my right ankle a few years ago so i have to stop whenever it swells up or I'd be out more.

Fuck this game
Cooper Davis
>510 eevee evolves into a 1040 jolteon what the fuck game, does Jolteon really have that much lower of an evolution multiplier compared to flareon and vaporeon?
Nathan Ortiz
Why would anyone bother walking for pokemon when you can find just more by sitting at a lured pokestop? Or is this incorrect?
Austin Scott
Yes, and jolteon usually has that 5 dmg base attack
He got gimped
Jose Anderson
I have two pokestops, one in my local library and one in my local zoo which will be closing in a couple months.
No gyms.

Austin Morales
Does anyone have a half-decent list of available movesets? I want to believe serebii's is very incomplete because some stuff there doesn't make sense.
Connor White
Lures cost money
And looking around manually gives you a chance at other shit
Hunter Jackson
I dunno about anyone else but i tend to find more rares just walking around my neighborhood than sitting at lures. Caught a kadabra last night and a pikachu today
Jayden Morris
>not mooching off of other people's lures
Eli Barnes
is thundershock really that bad
my only good mon so far is an electabuzz with thundershock and thunder punch
Matthew Edwards
you mean like, different kinds of pokes?
but how else will I catch a million magikarps?
Lures are pretty damn common where I love, once I take a 5 min drive into town/by the pier.
Jayden Brown
>your eevees CP doubled when evolved mine didnt even double when it turned into a jolteon/flareon, what?
Charles Moore
How much longer until news stories about how some guy lost 300 pounds playing Pokemon Go?

Asher Hernandez
To be honest it doesn't look like super effective does anything past the graphic, a 5 dmg base attack is still a 5 dmg base attack and will take ages to bring down a pokemon of a similar lvl
Ryder Richardson
>be american >shoot him
Jace Cook
>walked around my neighborhood for at least 4 hours a day >my sister was happy about me and bought me a bicycle so we can ride around together
Joshua Russell
why does the nearby bar keep blinking when it's empty
and why haven't i been able to find a single pokemon
John Phillips
>Got tablet on sale last year >Runs PoGO fine, but has no way to use data for GPS >Can't root tablet to spoof to local places because bootloader can't unlock
How is everyone's hunting going tonight? Waiting for something to wander into my range like a fat hermit.
Jaxon Hernandez
>you can tap missed pokeballs on the ground to get them back
Cooper Jones
Is your sister cute?
David Baker
I'm convinced super-effectiveness is not 2x in this game. It's closer to 1.5x, maybe even 1.3x.
Dylan Long
>next mass shooting will be at a lured pokestop in a major city
Zachary Ortiz
If you don't have any pokemon in your nearby bar than you need to force close the app and reset it, that's often a sign of a crash
Mason Morris
Goddamn Europeans breaking the servers. Almost had a gym, too.
Aaron Smith
Is STAB a thing in pogo

I've NEVER had a pokemon in the bar

on the other hand trying to do damage when your move isn't very effective makes you do like 10% damage
Luis Jones
Can someone explain to me why my Aerodactyl is such a pansy even after stuffing it with candy? I hatched it from a 10km egg, I expected it to be able to hit higher CP than this.
Eli Parker
well sh*t i cleared my cache and got logged out
now i can't get back in
Jeremiah Parker
Just a fun fact: Westboro Baptist Church is Mystic, proving how autistic blue team is
Henry Perry
I got blue stacks to spoof my location but I cannot get any pokestops/gyms/etc to load once I'm there. Any advice?
Kayden Watson
what's a good team to join anons? i joined the yellow one because it had a pic of zapdos and im starting to think its shit
also a good lineup/team comp? i was hoping to go for my typical gen 1 team which is: - alakazam or starmie - rhydon - exeggutor - snorlax - chansey - zapdos if an event pops up but jolteon for now
already got half of them (base evols) so it should be p comfy getting others
Christian Fisher
I didn't play Ingress, but it seems to me like it was better than Pokemon GO. Like there was a lot more to it than just walking around to random shit.
Justin Morales

Samuel Hughes
>using candy on a low CP pokemon
Evan Robinson
It was worse because no nostalgia
Tyler Young
>gangs of frat guys walking around my college down catching pokemon
Evan Allen
Isn't that the entirety of what ingress was?
Robert Martin
Why not?
Once you get to level 15, rare pokemon stop becoming as rare. Once you hit 20 the only "rare" pokemon are the 6 that aren't in the game yet(birds, mewtwo, mew, ditto)
Jaxon Nelson
>tfw Im a muslim thats been hanging out at the church frequently because of pokestops
Tyler Lewis
Teach me. I know not what I do.
Nicholas Wilson
wow haha thats nuts!
Ryder Carter
It was Pokémon Go without random encounters, and much more focus placed on controlling territory.
There were also more features in place that helped you more than there are in pogo. You can search for nearby portals and there are missions that contain entire pre-planned routes that hit a ton of stops.
Also there's only two teams which makes the competition more predictable.
Xavier Baker
whats the best spot anybody has found?
conservatory garden in central park ny has 4 stops in single radius and tons around the area
anybody seen better?
Nicholas Evans
Dont patronize me
Carson Moore
Did you read the pastebin? Did you read through the old thread? People have been repeating the same lines over and over.

Anybody notice that razz berries tend to fuck with your throws? Every time i use one my pokeballs will start to erratically veer to the right or left without fail.
Jackson Myers
Moltres
Austin Hughes
We've got a casual here.
Gabriel Campbell
why the f do you have so much shit near you
i have literally nothing
Henry Perry
You're supposed to be curveballing all your throws anyway. There's no reason not to. That extra 10 xp stacks up to A LOT over time
Ethan Peterson
Just from what I see in videos, the map seems better. Like the GPS turns with you and is more accurate, the pokestop equivalents are more than just free shit, there's a feed of people near you, and chat.
I dunno, just seems like Pokemon GO is extremely simplified. Which is probably deliberate.
I'm fucked and can't really enjoy Pokemon GO because my town is way too small. So maybe it gets more complex later, or maybe the simplicity makes it better because of the social element.
Just noticed that Ingress seems more technically advanced.
Jack Walker
Yes. Save me, please.
Jackson Parker
Holy fuck lads I thought the Pokemon Go autism was overblown but it's reached full peak at my University town.
>walking home from gym at midnight >(real gym you fat fucks) >see multiple people walking around staring down at their phones >one walks into the street >car narrowly misses him >saw one guy run into a cyclist >most notably, was the full blown basement dweller >walked past him in alley >stared at him >humongous fat blob, easily 400+lbs >skin so white, guarantee this is the first time he's left his house in yonks >oversized baggy clothing >scraggly neckbeard >pulled back, receding and balding ponytail >wheezing as I passed him
I couldn't look at him without smirking lads, it was too fucking funny.
Guarantee it was one of you spastics.

Are kabuto and omanyte rare? I caught a lot of them today by the beach
Luis Ramirez
>You can search for nearby portals
That is definitely coming soon. We are still on version 0.29, there are some very basic features they have to add. I'm hoping missions of some sort would be one of them as well.
Colton Wright
It was me also your lats are fucking tiny
Lincoln Lopez
how can I spoof on my pc
everyone I know waited for official launch here
Aiden Nguyen
Half the time when I get a curveball it doesn't even register as one.
If I want XP I'll mass evolve pidgeys, it's not worth my time to try to curveball for 10XP on every shitmon I see when I can get thousands at a time with a lucky egg and mass evolutions
Jason Walker
I noticed my throws curve when the Pokemon is far away. Anytime I try to catch a Magmar it is located on the back of the screen. Drag my finger to far up and it curves.
Austin Russell
on ios, pokego has full access to your gmail. is it safe lads, or am i a paranoid faggot
Joseph Lee
They're sorta rare, for whatever reason none of the bodies of water in town have any water types outside an occasional seel, anyone know how to contact customer service?
Mason Hughes
how are you getting lucky patcher to work? mine's not showing that bluestacks is rooted
Landon Roberts
The only thing you lunge is a burger into your mouth.
Thomas Sanders
yea I'm Auckland. Red team?
David Jenkins
Yes I did read the pastebin. I'm still not sure why my Aerodactyl is not as strong as I was anticipating, compared to other Pokémon in local gyms.
