just realised i can also access my gym from my bedroom too. Have been sitting stocking up on pokeballs for ages now will go walk in the morning.

 

[woodland]

I said I wouldn't get it but it's raining and here I am...

AND there's no pokemon near me besides Ratata - no Pokestops either. This is what I get for living next to a state park.

 

[Chopper]

If your Pokemon gets beaten at a gym whilst you're absent, do you get it back without having to return to the gym?

 

[batfax]

Go outside.

Doesn't always work. I live in a rural/heavily wooded area with mostly farms and ranches and stuff. I can walk miles in any direction and not have Pokemon appear nearby. I finally got to catch some when I went into town earlier today, but zero Pokemon appeared on my walks around home and I've had the app since day -1.

 

[Hawkian]

So I noticed people saying your surroundings matter but does it have to be natural? Like, if I fill my bathtub with water will that increase the chance of getting a water Pokemon in my house?

If I go to a Psychic will I have a higher chance to catch a psychic Pokemon?

lol

I'm 311 candies away from Gyarados ...

Well you're beating me. Little by little...

If your Pokemon gets beaten at a gym whilst you're absent, do you get it back without having to return to the gym?

You get it back, all beaten up.

 

[Kinsei]

If your Pokemon gets beaten at a gym whilst you're absent, do you get it back without having to return to the gym?

Yes. My poor Pidgeot was dethroned earlier and I got it back. We shall have our revenge tomorrow!

Is this cross platform? In other words, are Apple players and Google players seeing the same gym leaders and stuff?

believe so, ingress was afaik

 

[Meffer]

Go outside.

I am outside.

 

[Chopper]

Can you increase a Pokemon's CP, or is it just luck?

 

[Kinsei]

I am outside.

Does the tracker in the lower right show any Pokemon? Is there a white pokeball constantly spinning in the upper left?

Can you increase a Pokemon's CP, or is it just luck?

Power it up. It costs some stardust and a candy to do it. Your CP cap raises with your trainer level.

 

[Kilvin]

Argh, it's absoloutely driving me crazy that it hasn't released in Canada yet....and now it sounds we'll be waiting even longer.

Not willing to use the work around as it sounds too risky.

In the mean time keep the stories coming guys, it's making the wait more bareable.

 

[udivision]

Can you increase a Pokemon's CP, or is it just luck?

Yeah, use candies.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

For two entire days my Pokémon Go doesn't show any pokemon, gym, or anything at the map! My friend, in the same region I am, has it installed and can play normally.

What could have happened?

May I have been banned, besides not receiving any note about it?

 

[Incitemaybe]

Hopefully I'm missing something obvious but when you catch a Pokemon is there an easy way to compare duplicates so you know who to transfer?

 

[Barrylocke]

Yes Ingress is indeed multiplat.

Just hit Level 5! Team Mystic means I've apperently betrayed most of my Enlightened buddies in Ingress (Enlightened is team green, the opossing team is team blue).

 

[Gandalf]

Can you catch more than 1 Pokémon whilst the Incense is active? A noob question I'm sure that has been answered a bajilion times.

 

[Meffer]

Power it up. It costs some stardust and a candy to do it. Your CP cap raises with your trainer level.

Yes on both.

 

[Kinsei]

Yes on both.

The Pokeball means you're experiencing server issues. Try rebooting the app.

A single incense gives me 5-6 Pokemon.

The game is such a mess right now at least you can look forward to a better experience.

Try to walk accordingly to the nearby pokemon indicator

Yeah, use candies.

Should I bother doing that before evolving Pokemon?

 

[Kinsei]

Should I bother doing that before evolving Pokemon?

I haven't been.

 

[Elfstruck]

God, I'm so pissed. There was a scythe that is 2 footstep away from me but I can't seem to find it. After 5 min after, it disappeared

 

[udivision]

Should I bother doing that before evolving Pokemon?

It's better to focus on evolving.

 

[Parmadillo Marshmallow]

What does it mean when a gym looks like it's under attack? It's under attack?

 

[DeployThatPizza]

Should I bother doing that before evolving Pokemon?

Evolve first.

 

[Pineconn]

College campuses seem to have quite a few PokéStops/gyms. I walked around Ohio State earlier today (and will again pretty soon...) and I've been getting work done.

My Nearby Pokemon indicator is a blank gray box when I'm at home.

 

[Not]

Did we know about these future improvements already?

[CountAntonius]

This game makes me want to jump into back yards....I think the radius to capture them should be wider. That abra is RIGHT THERE!

 

[T.O.P]

Fuck it, after the IGN news i went ahead and made a US account

I just hope i won't risk anything once it launches in EU

God damn

I hope they will keep their words because so far we didn't saw them tweet on blog about those news. Their PR part is kinda weak atm, Nintendo need to step up and help them.

 

[Elfstruck]

And server is down again.

Pokemon GO as "Rest of the world you can GO f*** yourself"

 

[Meffer]

Geez I tried everything, and still nothing. I'm done.

 

[Falchion]

Two miles into a GO expedition and the servers died on me.....

 

[everyday math]

I'm so glad I caught that poliwag before the servers fell. Finding rock and water Pokemon is a struggle.

 

[digitalflame]

Pokemon GO as "Rest of the world you can GO f*** yourself"

Honestly, the best part of this terrible launch has been that it has incited me to post more on GAF (to complain about region restrictions) which will get me to member quicker.

Spoiler

Unless I get banned for complaining

 

[Kissenkopf]

Damn, I was running around in my small german town with two friends and we catched a good amount of Pokémon. And the most fun part was, when we saw another guy running around with the app. Absolutly incredible how popular this game already is while it isn't even official released here.

 

[Pendas]

Crashed as I was catching a Jigglypuff...

 

[MechaX]

I wasn't even planning on downloading this, but a few of my coworkers kept going into my boss's office because for some reason, her office is the home of valuable pokemon.

She was beaten to the punch by every co-worker and only got a Pidgey.

This was so amusing to me today that I need to see what the fuss is about.

 

[Dylan Sexbang]

I'm going to try this thread, any idea when the PKMN Go Plus will restock anywhere? I really want one!

 

[Gandalf]

A single incense gives me 5-6 Pokemon.

Ahh... I see. That bloody sucks then, because I caught a Drowsee and then the servers starting fucking up... What a waste! 😭

Yup, this game ain't for country folks. Fucking elitist pig of a game!

 

[everyday math]

How do you get your Pokemon off certain gyms?

 

[Conkerkid11]

And now I'm 5 miles away from home with server issued.

 

[Durden77]

And server is down again.

Yup. I have a lot of patience but this shit sucks. Me and the lady was about to go on a Pokemon bar crawl.
