If it says there's a bulbasaur nearby how do I catch it? Just walk around?

Wow, sorry for the late reply. I go away for a bit and an extra 50 pages happen
anyhow found this; https://youtu.be/qqbsdqjgj-k?t=1291Got the developers there talking about Pokemon Go Plus, and Treehouse members asking about it. But yeah it is just a way to play the game without getting your phone out. They emphasise that they want the players to walk around and explore surroundings without looking at your phone all the time.
Quick summary from what I heard them talk about it:
- It will flash green and vibrate when a Pokemon is nearby.
- Press the button to attempt to catch it.
- If successful, it flashes rainbow colour.
- If it flashes red, it means it was a failed capture.
- You can also grab items using the Pokemon Go Plus.
- When the device is on sale (end of July), you can buy it through a button in the game itself which then takes you to your region's online store. It will also be available in retail stores.
- Shigeru Miyamoto says it will be $34.99.
To think we had this info at E3
Depends on how many footprints nearby. 1 or 2? Yeah walk around for awhile. 3? Dont worry about it.
Yup. Look under it on the tracker and notice the footprints. If your headed in the right direction they will eventually lower from three to two to one then zero, at which point he should pop up on your screen to catch.

Go out and get it.
Unreliable because of location specificity. What's rare in one place can be in abundance everywhere. We've seen that already when one person complains they never see one Pokémon and another says there's so many of it they're sick of them. That drop from Rattata to Meowth to Magnemite is a joke and completely wrong.
The most common from my own play is definitely Zubat, followed by Pidgey. I've only seen a single Meowth and that was this morning.

Gastly showed up outside my place. :O First one I've seen. Will probably go for a late night walk after the gym, but I have to finish working first. ; ;
Nope. I've been trying to contact literally anyone about the fact that there aren't any Pokémon around me, and definitely no stops, but most I got was a form response unrelated to the issue and a promise they were getting back to me. Last I heard anything was about 3-4 days ago. All the interviews and stuff that've happened over the last few days haven't had anyone mention it at all.

I have never even seen a Meowth siluoette. It can't be that common.
I have seen a billion Eevees though. Downtown all I saw were Drowzee and Weedle.

This is the perfect kind of functionality for an Apple Watch companion app. If ever there was a game that screamed Watch app, this is it. Yokai Watch can suck it
I believe it's only for Pokemon you've already caught before, however. Still, pretty good.
No, it errors out of you try to catch the same Pokemon.

That's not correct. It's dependent on location. Some places will have some Pokemon while in other places, other Pokemon will be more common. I haven't seen Magnemite or Meowth at all.
Well, this sucks. Wish they had a forum or something. A ton of people I know can play right from their house and have pokemon show up and I have to walk for a long time before seeing anything. I can't play in my area without incense or a lure somewhere. Everything is 3 footsteps away near my place.
App is slowly starting to lose its appeal to me if I am at constant disadvantage.
Same.

I've never seen a wild one, but one came out of an egg for me.
thats what we do. its so satisfying taking a Mystake gym
yeah hirokazu I read that in ralph wiggum's voice
Oh yeah, is it neat? IS IT? WHAT TEAM ARE YOU ON
I should hope everyone understands that the faction hate is a lighthearted rivalry and all in, as they say, good fun. Everyone playing this game is obviously all on the same "side."

Hey man, if you happen to read this...
I've been bullied fairly severely before, sometimes for being focused on nerdy pursuits, sometimes for not liking the things I was supposed to like, sometimes just indiscriminately. I won't say that I know how you feel or anything like that, but I can relate, and what really gets me is you saying that this event caused you to relive your childhood, where you liked Pokemon and that made you an oddball, a target for bullying. Because guess what? It isn't your childhood anymore.
I bet you anything, anything that what that dude is feeling right now, maybe for the first time in his life, is the sensation that he's the outcast, he's the one that isn't having fun with the new big thing. He may not be an outlier in your immediate town, but globally he knows that right now he's a fucking weirdo. Something he thought was lame is cool now and he can't take it. So maybe that did make you a target for his dumbass outburst, not because of what you like, but because he saw a chance for a second to pretend like it was the good old days when stuff like this was just for nerrrrrds. It has nothing to do with you.
So you already deleted the game. That's fine. Keep it deleted, or reinstall it. but just make sure you're doing whatever the fuck you want to do. Not whatever the whims of some obvious, jaded asshole dictate.

Broke my phone adventuring just now 
LOL. Alright fine.
lame, they were definitely serious? what a douchey and bizarrely not-thought-through thing to post about after adding people from the game
I really approve of this. I like the stretches where I'm able to hunt or navigate without my phone being the focal point. I think the idea that a "mobile game" doesn't have to be synonymous with "game played entirely on your phone's screen" is compelling.
On the real though I can chill with Instinct any day. It's the Valor around here that make me sick

Can someone explain to me what's the best way to determine which pokemon is stronger? This curve stuff with CP is confusing.

spent most of my day walking around my downtown area, met some cool people, some fine ladies exchnges phone numbers and other contacts (PSN/NNID/XBL)
supposed to meet up again tomorrow and get another lure party going on; their's on spot when there's like 3 pokestops in like a 100ft radius! they're we like 20-30 people gathered there!!
Nintendo has a HUGE hit!! even bought me a portable charger lol
(now I'm gonna holler at some of these ladies!!!)
EDIT: also walked into a goddamn pole!! also dropped my phone(no damage...thanks otterbox!!) the woman looked at me and said "I hope that wasn't because of that Pokemon game!"

Here's how it works
CP is the pokemon's strength in combat
the higher the better
The little curve tells you how high you can go based on your level - if your little dot is near halfway you've got a lot more you can go to make it maxed out on CP
If you're near the top, you need to level up more to make the pokemon stronger.
Going by the comments I don't think it's ironically.

The higher the number the stronger it is. Think of the curve as an exp bar. When your fully white it out it has reach max strength. To further get them stronger increase your player level to raise the cap.
