The amount of candy needed to evolve is crazy how do you get more?

 

[Blue Geezer]

London is full of ratatas..... Hmmm...

 

[Meowtor]

I'm so torn, like I want to play now but I want to wait for the official release instead of grabbing the APK.

Why? It'll make no difference except you get the game earlier.

Transfer duplicates to the Professor, you get a candy for each. Also I think when you catch duplicates you get some as well.

When you get dupes of a Poke find the lower CP version and click on them. Then scroll down and transfer them to the professor.

Basically you turn in the Poke for Candy. Like disenchanting stuff for materials in a RPG.

Where the apk is? The link in the OP says it's in the trash.

 

[Dandy Crocodile]

You get 3 candies for catching a Pokémon, even if it's a dupe.
You get 1 candy for sending the Pokémon to the professor.
So Weedle needs 12 candies to evolve, catch 4 Weedles and you can get Kakuna.

Magikarp needs 400 candies. So catch I think ~101 Magikarps to evolve to Gyarados.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

There are no bans.

It's people who don't understand wtf is going on and freaking the fuck out.

So how do I fix my game?

This game runs like shit on my first gen. Moto G.

It's time to change it...

It runs well on my Moto G (don't know the generation), but yeah, I feel like I need to upgrade too. Especially with Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem coming later this year.

 

[Relix]

God dammit region limitations. WTF Nintendo.

 

[Vanillalite]

Dat Bulbasaur I just caught doe

 

[Already Torn]

Is this out on NA App Store yet?

I can't be much longer, right? i guess the problem is how big NA is.

 

[Vanillalite]

So how do I fix my game?

Force close the app. If that doesn't work clear your app data.

The latter will reset the app, but all your shit will reappear after you login.

I heard a rumor that it would be available 1pm EDT in the states. We shall see!

 

[Berksy]

OK can anyone link me a basics faq cause this game has no tutorial or i was drunk/asleep while reading.

Also started with a bulbasaur i guess that makes me team green?

 

[ZiggyPalffyLA]

I heard a rumor that it would be available 1pm EDT in the states. We shall see!

Wouldn't that be right now?

 

[Covfan]

There's a place near me that is a pokestop because it's an American themed diner which has a mini replica of the statue of liberty in it.

I am impressed

 

[Icyflamez96]

I live in a very suburban area in Socal and there are no locations anywhere I can see, except one far out at this church I've never heard of https://imgur.com/a/4CDqv

 

[eyesradar]

Nothing yet for us Canadians ;(
All we got is the CR soft launch and ppl made a big fuzz about it

 

[Bremsstrahlung]

So, if you evolve using candies, and you get candies by catching pokemon, how do you evolve your starter if they can't be found in the wild (I assume that's the case)?

Eevees are out there, I've caught one. I am curious as to how the multi-evolve works with them though!

You probably get to pick what you evolve into. I still only have like 12 eevee candies, though, so I can't verify yet.

They can be found in the wild.

Look above.

I caught a Bulbasaur. My starter was a Squirtle.

So the 3 starters are out in the wild. Probably just rare.

Ohh, ok. Thought I read somewhere that they couldn't. My mistake.

 

[Sakujou]

i cant restart the app. app is dead
it has a constant loading screen and tells me sometimes that it does not have gps signal. what a bummer

 

[Already Torn]

Wouldn't that be right now?

Maybe it's running late haha

 

[Meowtor]

I'm worried that something fuckey will happen when they flip on the US side of things.

same problem

That wasn't the case in the beta. It was possibly random or based on your location. I ended up with two Vaporeons, and there was no choice as to which Evee evolution you wanted.

 

[Vanillalite]

If you are on Android and having app issues try these 3 steps

1) Force close the app then reload
2) Reboot your phone then open the app

If that doesn't work

3) Clear app data reload the app and relog

 

[Kyzer]

Yep I started with Charmander and have caught both a Squirtle and another Charmander. Accidentally transfered the new charmander just cuz it wasnt my starter but didnt think to look if it had better moves

 

[Pops Maellard]

Found a Diglet in my backyard. Pretty hyped tbqh.

 

[MajorMane]

So, what's the deal with using the APK before it's live in the US? Bannable by Niantic or not? Saw some people think they were, but others say they weren't.

 

[panama chief]

This looks good. But even if I got an iOS release, I'd just drive. It's 100 degrees outside. I can't walk around in that.

 

[EvilEvoVIII]

Again, it was just a rumor. I also read on arstechnica.com that it will be available for the rest of the world in the "next few days". So, a few conflicting reports, but Ars is pretty reputable.

Any benefit to using the incubator with limited uses?

 

[MattyG]

The link to the apk says it's in the trash every time I try. I guess we wait for the official US release

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Can't download the APK in the links provided by the OP. Anywhere else thats safe?

 

[Tabasco]

Trying to download the APK sends it to the trash for some reason.

 

[kyan_hexagon]

How about the one listed here?

Aside from hatching more than one egg at a time, I'm not seeing one.

None of the microtransactions seem to be worthwhile, except maybe Incense and Lure Modules. Who the hell is going to pay ~$5 for 100 PokeBalls when you can walk down nearly any street in a city and get fifty for free?

I can confirm this doesn't work for the people with the "no elements on my map" problem.

Do you have apk installer? I said that for me before I downloaded that because I didn't know I needed it at first.

 

[Zafir]

Where do you get Stardust from then? I guessed the Pokespots but they've only offered me balls so far.

I don't see why they would ban for it really... It's not like people are cheating or anything. Not to mention some people will have probably spent cash.

I had to download on my computer and then transfer it to my phone via USB.

 

[Vanillalite]

It fixed my no gps found problem earlier.

People are posting different errors though without details.

Everyone needs to double check and make sure their GPS shit is still turned on as well.

 

[Noirulus]

I still can't download in Canada yet, anyone else?

Also, have any Canadians found another way to play it?

Edit: Forgot to mention, Android.

 

[Icyflamez96]

Some pokemans I caught.

You get Stardust by catching Pokemon.

Most of the rumours on the web say this problem is because of Niantic is blocking the GPS service of the countries which doesn't have this game officially released yet.

Kinda sucks if true.
