All I could say that what you said hasn't happened to me. Atleast not yet and I've been doing it fairly often. I wear baggy shorts and pants so I don't even feel my phone in my pocket besides it's weight.

basically the higher CP the base pokemon is (in this case, the pidgey), the higher range your 2nd evo will be.
So chances are that your 110 pidgey will yield a pidgeot stronger than your 110 pidgeotto

Yeah and that's why I am so stoked to have caught a 349 Charmander today. His cp meter is almost full, so when I evolve him, he will be strong right of the bat with minimal investment in stardust.
I really want to see a chart of max cp per mon per level.
Currently level 16 btw.

There is theoretically risks at my job with leaving a cell phone on and running while walking around. I'm not actually supposed to even have it on my person, but I put it in Airplane Mode because I'm worried about someone stealing from my locker--which has happened before. I also believe it uses GPS data to determine "distance traveled", and I don't think the building I'm in--which blocks most signals as is--would allow for it to actually track my movement.

About 1 every 5 minutes.
My local cafe is in between two stops and I had incense going, so I put lures on them both and sat there. In half an hour I got over 15 it was almost but not quite sequential especially when you get to spin both stops every 2 and half minutes. Unfortunately about 10 were zubats as per normal for this area.

I'm learning that the best pokemon come from ones you capture that have a naturally high cp meter, that half circle in the background. Save them and evolve them. Transfer everything else.
I put my phone in my pocket with the screen/game on all the time, nothing bad has happened thus far.
They bring shame to the Mystic name :<

This exact situation happened to me. I evolved a ~100 CP Pidgey to a Pidgeotto, which ended up being ~250 CP, compared to the one I had caught in the wild that was ~170. I ended up evolving them both to Pidgeot's just for kicks, and the ~170 Pidgeotto became a ~290 Pidgeot, while the ~250 one before a ~430 Pidgeot.
Another example, the first Eevee I evolved was ~120 CP, and turned into a ~400 CP Flareon. Compared to the ~290 CP Eevee I evolved earlier tonight that turned into a ~610 CP Jolteon.
Walked to the park and tried to hold down the local gym for instinct. Waves of dudes kept rolling up in cars, couldn't hold it for more than 5 minutes at a time cause I had no backup. I did catch 2 Pikachus a charmander and a venomoth while walking back and forth from the poke stop to the gym (my park isn't ideal the gym and the poke spot are on opposite sides of the park, bout a 5 minute walk). At one point I threw one of the Pikachus on the gym and a few people got out of their cars to ask me where I got it, one of them even returned to thank me for showing him where I caught mine after he found one. Pretty fun night.

My Pidgeys still take 12 candy to evolve.

Oh man that would suck. Pidgeys for days here. I'm on android so no update yet.

Oh how lovely.:|
Ah, so it's like Dragon Ball rules for super saiyan.
I also read the update is out on the android store. Haven't checked yet myself because I wanted to find out about this first.
Okay, thanks. Hope it was just people getting confused about the candy requirements. It would be quite the effective nerf for leveling if they did that.
I updated to the newest version of the app on iOS and Pidgey still only needs 12 candies to evolve.
Not true, still the quickest way to power level
I still see version 0.29.0 listed on the play store, so far
Got super pissed tonight when I used an Incense, the game crashed soon after, and then I couldn't get back in until my incense was all used up.
I still can't believe how incomplete this game is. Just watched the premier trailer again and it features event battles, trading, battling, big group battles, accurate tracking, etc. I have to believe that this game was barely in development less than a year ago when it was shown because everything looks so different. Yet, here we are playing what essentially feels like a beta.

Same here, just checked. Maybe the play store does regional updates? Not sure but have read it is out in parts of the midwest US.

Weird, mine says up to date and I'm pretty sure it didn't download an update. Version 0.29.0 here.
At this point it's hardly a game and I think they should come forward and compensate people with some free items for all the server hickups that caused the loss of said items.

It would be more strange to see them out at 10 p.m. during the Winter. At least during the Summer it can be pleasant outside once the sun goes down rather than a frigid hellscape.
Pokestops give free items tho...

12 am here & I was ready for bed, decided to have one last look at the game.
I saw it. Pikachu, only 2 feet away. Ran outside with hardly anything on. Just to have a car stop in the middle of the road. I thought they were wondering WTF was I doing but no. They got out of that car & caught that Pikachu with me.
It was beautiful.
I know you can get Pika as a starter but I wanted to catch my own. Couldn't be happier with how it turned out.

Yeah but no Lures or Incents afaik.
Or they are very rare.
And with 1 Pokestop in quick walking distance it's not like I can farm or anything.
Also do you guys think this is threadworthy:

?
the whole timeline has been altered
I hope is that Nintendo/The Pokemon Company sees how popular this game is, but also how marred with technical problems it is, then takes what's here as a base and expands on it. Maybe that is in the form of throwing resources out to push content and updates, maybe that is in the form of a sequel.
Knowing Nintendo though, if I had to guess they're still going to see this as just a tiny side project to their main, less popular Pokemon game.

Not free premium items like Lucky Egg or Incense.

I realized, siting at home tantalizingly out of reach of 6 pokestops, that when I leave the app and come back to it I tend to have 1-2 Magikarp in my room. If I leave the app open they don't seem to spawn as frequently. Haven't done any real testing yet.
How is it hardly a game? Millions of people are playing and loving it. It's been out less than a week, we more content is coming.
It's not the lack of content that hamstrings the game, it's the social aspect (and server issues). This is not a game suited for rural players.
I get 100% of my balls from stops and can't complain
Been focusing on catching Pokémon pretty much all day and still have these balls left over
I <3 ultra balls
edit: fixed, wrong pic my bad. Stupid phone

Yup, most games give free premium currency for long maintenance times. I definitely think Pokemon Go should implement a mailbox where they send daily login coins and compensation coins. Right now they're difficult to get for someone like me who can't take gyms effectively. At 10 coins a day it would take me twenty days before I can expand my bag capacity.

Get on those google surveys. Free play store credits.
Yeah, but I've been around for previous Summers, and I've never seen anything like this. In fact, this Summer itself wasn't like this up until literally this week.
It's hardly a game in terms of actual gameplay.
The battles are really poorly integrated IMO and the catching aspect suffers from too many bugs/server hickups.
Also rural players, as you said, are in such a disadvantage in regards of items gained and Pokemon catching that it really can kill the fun rather quickly.

Meanwhile in Japan, there is a riot boiling below the surface thanks to this wait.
I'm dying to see what pokemon we have here in Kagoshima, especially on our volcano. Once they all get added, we definitely should have a hardcore fire legendary up there. Moltres, Volcanacora, ect. What I heard was during the pokemon google earth colab we had Braxien up there.

Didn't mean to repost that pic, meant to show my balls after a day of focusing on catching Pokemon
Not bad for a game with IAPs
You can play and have fun 24/7 without spending a penny

When should I start seeing CP 300+ pokemon in the wild to catch? I'm level 14 and still don't have one over 280 yet
Thanks; this is a genuinely encouraging way of reframing what happened. Anyone who felt threatened by Pokemon was always insecure, but especially in 2016, you probably have to have a clinical phobia of your dick falling off if you so much as hear the word Pikachu. Even so, being treated poorly by my peers for liking innocuous things created a wound that time never really managed to heal, and being cast back into that era of my life, even for a moment, admittedly hurt.
I guess the thing is, it was just a moment of dumb heckling, but it suddenly undercut what I was most excited for with Pokemon Go; that it was the ultimate period on the sentence that it's finally "okay" to publicly like Pokemon. This means a whole lot to me as someone who's observed the full arc of Pokemon's path from creepy hobby for geeks to beloved cultural mainstay.
To be honest, I wasn't really excited for the game before or even when it came out; I don't really play mobile games, the art direction looked bland, etc. and it was only after the game became an immediate social phenomenon beyond anyone's wildest expectations that I really got excited about it. Suddenly, here's something that was immensely influential on me but I always had to be ashamed to like, now a celebrated tool for socializing, meeting new people, and re-exploring our own familiar world.
Because of that, it's a tragedy for me that my first revelation from playing the game is that there are people out there who never grew out of their contempt just as I never grew out of my self-consciousness, and for these people, the plain visibility that Pokemon Go places upon a group of people they dislike must be perversely exciting in its potential for effortlessly identifying targets for cheap antagonism. Especially where I live, which is decades behind the majority of America culturally, there are a lot of hobbies that are socially unacceptable here that are mainstream elsewhere.
I still don't know if I'm going to give the game another chance unless I can spend some time in the city, but I appreciate the reaffirmation that I just happen to occupy an especially miserable slice of nowhere and that rubes like this dude are getting dunked on by Pokemon fans everywhere else in America.
My workplace is actually a PokeStop on the map because it's a historic building. We've had a few people come by; I'll keep an eye out and see if it becomes a regular thing here.
We're about 5k as well and I've already seen several people playing it. I do live in the "bad" part of town, though, lots of meth labs and spots where heroin deals go down. This guy had NRA stickers in his windows.
I think that I was standing at an intersection, waving the phone around because the compass wasn't reorienting. Probably more conspicuous than I realized, but no less douchey of the guy.
