Pokémon Go |OT| As in "Go Outside"
- Thread starter spyroflame0487
- Start date
The app seemed to be working better for me today after I updated the Android version but now I can't get in the app. Gets to the loading page and tells me that it failed to log me in and to try again or use a different account but a sign out button pops up above that and it won't let me do anything at that point. 
Hopefully it will be up again for me before I go out to a nearby park to stock up on items.

HAHA my life basically:
yesssssssssssss this is awesome
Happened earlier with Aerodactyl for me. Feels bad man.
I even teleported outside briefly and saw it due to poor gps and the game froze when trying to catch.
Correct.

Turn off in-game music in the settings.
You uh, can on android. Just pull the top bar down and click play...
lol that is fucking incredible
Huh, I definitely can't on my Android. If I'm listening to music when I open the app, it pauses the music. If I unpause the music, I can't hear anything from the app (even if I pause the music again). I'll have to look in to it a bit more.
Edit: Tried again with both the google music app and spotify app. Start music, open pokemon app, and the music pauses. Swipe down and unpause music, can't hear anything from the app. Pause the music to be sure, and still hear no music or sounds from the app, even after toggling the settings. Phone is a Droid Maxx and running Version 24.21.7.en.US , which is the most recent update available. Anyone have any other suggestions?

wow, just came across this poke stop on a sidewalk. Nice description.
First 10k egg = Eevee... Smh.
Getting a little fed up with the game. It's bad game design to feel less powerful the more you level up, but that's how catching Pokemon is in this game. Pokemon never used to run away but at level 15 I just had 4 Pokemon in a row break out once then run (two of these were a low level caterpie and pidgey). The way it should be is that the higher level you are, the higher cp you can catch easily (green) but that isn't the case. Instead Pokemon just keep getting harder and harder to catch.

Just saw a Level 7 gym for the first time. Over 22000 prestige.
HAHA my life basically:
*watching with envy/saddneess because no phone can run game* ಥ_ಥ
Things I learnt today:
1. You cannot take your Pokemon from a gym at all to power it up. You have to wait until it's defeated. Lame.
2. Incense is pretty lame. Half an hour of rattata, pidgey and weedle.
3. That pokeball freezing glitch: Just wait for the white loading ball to stop spinning, then reload. I caught the pokemon 100% of the time.
4. You can't switch between pokeballs and great balls? It appears you have to use up pokeballs before great balls become an option.
5. People on Facebook can be intolerant assholes. People fear what they don't understand.

It's a bit mitigated by introducing greatballs and ultraballs but I agree, should be a bit better.
You can. Touch the backpack icon when catching a Pokemon and then touch the greatball icon.
Use the great ball as an item like a berry and it will switch to it.
Eh, you can. Select the bag during the capture screen and select great balls.
Edit: beaten ;_;

What phones are they?
The play store says my phone was incompatible but i side loaded it and it works fine here

Number 4 is not true, just go to the items section while you are trying to capture and choose either great/regular balls.
Beaten like a Team Instinct gym.

2. It is lame, but I've had unconventional things spawn, like a Ryhorn, Venomoth, Squirtle, and a Bulbasaur, across 4 incense uses.
4. You can, go into your items on the catching screen, select the Great balls. It defaults to Pokeballs because Great Balls are harder to come by, don't wanna waste a Great Ball on a 10CP Pidgey after all.
Go into your items bag during the encounter and select the great balls. Done and done!

So it's safe to update for PTC users now?

Man, quite the tattletale here. Maybe I should tattle on you posting the entire news article in an OP instead of only a portion of it so the site actually gets credit for their work via clicks.
Level 10 and I just spent over an hour walking around the walking paths and parks in my area. My walk resulted in a whole 2 Rattata and a Pidgey. Maybe it's because I'm in the suburbs and not in some major metropolitan area but the spawns feel like they're slowing down and I'm rapidly losing interest.

Made this real quick. I'd say it's accurate from what I've seen.

I have no idea why but all my poke balls are magically curving to the left or right when I'm just tossing em straight. Shit was normal yesterday. If I try to curve toss it myself, the balls fly off screen. I've wasted a ton of poke balls today.
Also updated the game today, and it crashes more now.
Combined all this with the servers being taxed, this is getting frustrating.

I feel the same. I am getting ready to submit a ton of locations though

Hopefully they go through and I can start getting some actual spawns in my area.
This happens so often to me with Great Balls, never with regular Pokeballs though.

I saw a 45k level 9 instinct gym with a snorlax on top
Evolve the Pidgey. It's not too hard to get the 12 candies to evolve him.

This is going to be tough for people downloading the app later when all the gym levels will be so high. Do they plan on having certain gym locations have a maximum CP allowed? That would help fix it

- Go to local park to walk my dog and play Pokémon Go
- Have 2 women in their 60s see me and say "hey is that puppy gonna help you catch some Pokémon?"
Shit is sureal man that people like this are even aware of exactly what the game is. Crazy
Also met about 20 other trainers there.

It'd be neat if there were like different tiers for a gym depending on your level. 5-9, 10-14, etc. Kind of how it's implied in Pokemon Origins.

What a time to have only enough battery to take a screenshot to document my sadness.
