You find all Pokemon just randomly around the city. Don't leave town trying to search for something in its natural environment. There's nothing outside civilization =P

Water Pokemon can be found near the sea so... Is there any active volcano where you live?
Yeah, it's probably random. Some types seem to appear in places that make sense, but other types don't.

Weird. I put two 10km Eggs into Incubators at the same time, but one hatched and the other's not even half done yet.

I live in Canterbury, England. It's got a big population, so loads of Pokemon; beautiful river walks and loads of parks thanks to its strong conservation focus, so loads of great places to walk; and an immense amount of history thanks to its big roles in both Roman and Norman conquests, so loads of Pokestops and Gyms. It should be an amazing place to play this game! But...
Thanks to Canterbury Council's refusal to allow developments taller than the ancient city walls, there are no phone masts allowed in the city. Which means 3G/4G coverage is abysmal inside the city. So I have this walk along the outskirts, along a river, where I can pick up Pokestops along the route but as soon as I cross the river to the other side my 4G reception just drops off a cliff. Unless you can connect to shop and cafe WiFi inside town, there's nothing you can do to play this game =(
So distressing when you can see SOOOO much inside! Reception comparison on each side of the river:

Has anyone else noticed that the "Map Box" on a Pokemon's stats has been zoomed way out, even retroactively? It used to show me where I caught a Pokemon down to almost a city block. I noticed after getting home tonight that the Map was instead showing almost the entire *city,* and Pokemon from days ago are like that now too.
It's gone from "I caught this Bulbasaur on the west end of the park" to "I caught Bulbasaur on the west half of the city."

Huh, I wondered why reception in Canterbury was always so poor! Now I know.
I have a reception problem in my village which is really frustrating. Lost a Magmar because of it and have had issues with the gym, too.
I noticed this as well. Not sure the reason for the change
So does the screen really need to be on and the game active for alerts to work and to measure walking distance? I don't think Galaxy S6 even has an option to keep the screen on permanently. The battery saver option is also useless since the screen turns off after some time (max 10min).
Yes it needs to be on. You can try the app stay alive which you can set on an app by app basis to keep the screen on
How do you estimate the value of a Pokemon in this game?
For example, I have two Poliwags. One with Mud Shot & Mud Bomb, the other with Bubble and Body Slam. Different power values on the moves, different number of blips on the second ability. Is STAB even a thing in this game? Secondary effects, e.g. lowered accuracy from mud bomb?
Feels messy.

I guess it's time for me to leave the thread until I can afford a new phone that will run it, so jelly of all these people ｡ﾟ(ﾟ∩´﹏`∩ﾟ

All it takes is one update for them to include Shiny's.
OMG if they can make it super rare and even "controlled" enough so that hacking isn't possible...

Some of you guys mentioned stuff about increasing battery life. Turning off the volume, reducing screen brightness and downloading offline Google Maps. Anything else? And for the Google Maps thing, do I only have to download them or do I have to change something inside of Pokemon Go?

I studied at UKC! Canterbury is great and I really do miss it... especially Level Up Games. I was studying 06-09 and didn't have a smartphone so wasn't that bothered about signal
I work in the City of London now, so there will be loads of history for us trainers to ignore
c'mooonnn UK. Let's GO!

This it true, and unfortunate. I walked a few local trails and came up empty.
So this changed because it now shows you where the pokemon you caught can possibly spawn instead of what spot you caught it. I don't know why they made that change but it helps when trying to track down more of the same type. I do wish the circle was a little smaller though.
Even if I can't play, I guess it will be hard for me to not care for it when such nice stories are happening.

So yeah, peple who want more depth to battle system be like the original games, please be sure to think about other players who have an handicap.

fuck, it is getting harder and harder to get pokemons even if they are low level weedle or caterpies. now most of the times I need to use 2-3 pokeballs. the fuck? I am level 9. have they updated the servers?
Does anyone have a Jolteon that doesn't have an awful tap attack? Both of mine are effectively worthless and have trouble with even Vaporeon.
And do super effective attacks do double damage to the enemy or is it just for show?
Just how the game is set up. You'll need to eventually move to great and ultra balls. Pokemon get tougher as you go.

Luckily it's not completely impossible for Niantic to fix this. It's one of those things that baffles me they didn't consider from the very start of development, but at least they can patch in rural locations.
The other thing that bothers me is how fully evolved Pokemon can be found in the wild. I mean even frickin' Alakazams. They knew they were going to add trading as a feature, so why not keep to tradition by forcing players to trade if they want Alakazam/Gengar/Machamp etc? Really strange.

So I have a Pikachu one step away from me but no Pokeballs.
This story makes me very happy.
Hope you get a new phone so you can play it too . Are you in line for an upgrade?
Really exciting to see another Canterbury resident on GAF, and it looks like a few other people have knowledge of/have been to the city. The signal situation is completely dire, and every time the network operators are consulted about it they just say "there are no signal issues in the area". You would think that with all the technology available to them they could pinpoint the signal issues and come up with an innovative solution, but alas not. Still, there is a fair bit of free Wi-Fi in the city if you know where to look! Imagine how much fun this game could be here with decent 3G/4G.

Just installed the app in Germany and played around with it for like 10 minutes after lunch. Already caught 6 Pokémon. Does anyone have a link with the essential beginner tips? Thanks in advance.

I suspect they backed it off for privacy reasons. Or perhaps because an anonymous little street map means little if you travel a lot?
As a result every single Pokemon I have caught now shows basically the same map now with the same circle, give Or take a few pixels. I have a feeling that apart from a few, you can find pretty much everything in any area, just with greater or lessor chances.
This happened to me also. I am wondering if there is any difference in time it takes to incubate between the orange and blue incubators.
Right, I'm not too keen on using separate apps like that, usually they just end up messing something or draining the battery too much. I think I can live without notifications.
It is a game for kids remember
I doubt they expect an 8 year old to walk 30 miles to catch everything

I guess a lot of Japanese's residency being Düsseldorf explains it.

this is nuts, but i'm happy because it makes me feel less odd walking around looking at my phone for pokemon with 299 other people are doing the same thing, heh.
last night I used an egg and evolved 4 pidgys for a quick 4k xp, they are the most common pokemon in my area so good xp after a day of catching a few.
Thank for your support, yeah my Iphone4 can't run this game and I can't afford at the moment to pay a phone 200$+. Used phones could be a solution but I don't know any trsuted website in FRance. So it's going to take me sometime to get a new phone Q_Q
The irony is that I can run Ingress... the previuos game of Niantics...
Yeah I noticed this too, it went from covering part of Ghent to covering most of Norfolk.
Anyone interested in charity app ? (US only)

I noticed that it definitely moves outside of like a 5 mile radius but if you are always in the same area then it's not going to matter much. I liked seeing exactly where I found something before, but I can understand where that might lead to privacy issues. On one hand I like knowing the area that something might spawn in but on the other I miss being able to look at exactly where I found something.
