Some guy on Reddit thought up an idea for a Pokémon Go AR game two years ago:

If only ideas were patentable.

Is that eevee nicknaming trick real?

 

[bluelightningduo]

Anyone have an idea as to how much data this drains?

Its based on the google maps prank about catching Pokemon in AR, which is what Pokemon Go is based on so the idea was already in motion.

When it's not your IP, they're certainly not.

Is that eevee nicknaming trick real?

No one has been able to disprove it, several Gaffers have even used it successfully.

 

[Ultryx]

read a few times now that pokestops in cities and rural areas give different amounts of supply
a rural one usually gives 3-5 pokeballs, how much is it in the city?

I get different amounts of items from each Pokestops. I've gotten as little as 3 items and as many as 8, once or twice.

 

[Khalifa Jayy]

How do you catch Pikachu? I heard there is a "trick" to making one appear?

 

[Dishwalla]

Worked for me.

Is that eevee nicknaming trick real?

So far, yes. It hasn't been proven wrong yet. You should look at the full post to see how to do it correctly.

Anyone have an idea as to how much data this drains?

Not a lot. I heard it was around 15 MB per hour.

How do you catch Pikachu? I heard there is a "trick" to making one appear?

Walk away from the starters 5 times. You can also catch Pikachu out in the wild.

Ugh stupid egg glitched and didn't hatch anything. Sorted by recent Pokemon and got nothing new. Walked around some be areas today that were totally devoid of Pokemon. Gotta stick to the city areas.

Took two gyms today for Instinct. Not much backup so they went down fast. Someone was good at dodging and took down my Snorlax with 400 less CP.

Felt good to finally be fighting at gyms.

 

[Red]

Going for a walk with my brother tonight, first time I've done a dedicated PoGo walk. Should be fun (we found a Vulpix earlier today, Hypno, Vileplume, and Wartortle are already showing as nearby).

 

[Waylon Drums]

You might be thinking of the trick to get one as a starter. I caught one near two Pokestops that had lures on them. I'm sure that's not a trick, but it must have helped.

 

[Fox Mulder]

I wonder how much legs this game will have. I'm not seeing anything new for days and it's bumming me out. Fucking pigeons and rats.

I've only seen 60 and wonder where the other 90 are. When I see something new it often just jumps out of every pokeballs I throw and I'm lvl 17.

 

[Kid Ska]

Is the pawprint bug (radar always showing 3) still going on? Thinking of heading out but I wont if it is.

Yeah I haven't noticed it acting any better.

 

[Hidden One]

Hatched a 2km egg into Magikarp. Magikarp doesn't spawn anywhere near me though.


That Eevee name thing seems to work. I'll try it when I get more Eevees.

What Eevee name thing?

Very little, actually. It's your battery that it'll suck the life out of.

anyone remember the name of the surfing pikachu?

will your raichu learn surf if you name it that?

Oh cool...Now I just need to catch Eevee's..They're rare for me .

Apologies if this was posted already but holy shit. Pokémon GO just reach beyond phenomenom status now. Players go crazy when a rare pokémon appears in a park

 

[Gaspard]

Ooh the nicknaming thing just worked for me too, got a spiffy looking Flareon.

 

[wwm0nkey]

So happy the Evee thing works lol

It's really amazing. My brother and I just got back from taking my niece and nephew out Pokemon hunting. There's a lot of Pokestops and gyms in our neighborhood. Everywhere we went, there were always a lot of other people playing as well. We were out for hours playing too.

They seriously need to consider porting the main series to mobile. I think it could work very well on phones, since it's just turn based battling.

Oh at the guy getting knocked to the ground.

When is this out in Canada ...

 

[Vanillalite]

 

[Dreavus]

Can you battle other people directly in this game or is it only via gyms?

 

[Visceir]

Did another late-night pokemon hunt. Managed to track down a Rhyhorn that was showing up on my radar from my apartment (always thought there were only rattatas and pidgeys here), caught a Slowbro using incence and stumbled on a Hitmonlee while trying to take over a gym.

Think I've also accumulated enough evolution fodder to get myself to next level once I can cash in the gym rewards and buy an egg.

I've gotten quite a few rare pokemon with incence while my experiences with lure have been rather rubbish, incence just seems more worthwhile.

 

[Lucumo]

Haha, nice. Mystic and Valor should be swapped though since Nelson is more evil

 

[Kid Ska]

Noooo the first Sandshrew I've ever seen is on radar and this 3 paw bug is still screwing me over.

 

[MajorMane]

I've gotten quite a few rare pokemon with incence while my experiences with lure have been rather rubbish, incence just seems more worthwhile.

While my experience with Lures has not been phenomenal, Incense have been absolutely horrid for me providing Weedle 90% of the time. Wish I could have the same luck as you, haha.

[Dr. Benton Quest]

5km egg hatch today

 

[Granadier]

This game is insanely popular in Boston.

Unfortunately the main Pokemon around my work is Drowzee, but I do have a killer Hypno army now.

Huh? The park out front of my apartment has Squirtles 24/7...

 

[Betty]

I can see major retailers or fast food joints scrambling to secure the rights to give away legendaries or super rare mons.

 

[Otakumegane]

When they unveil the Lugia raid, here's some ideas.

Cordon off a section of Times Square, stealthily start bringing in some speakers and set up a live stream up on Nintendo's website and youtube/twitch, along with a countdown. (Maybe choose to do this with a live orchestra)

Countdown expires, one of the screens in the background goes dark. The Lugia Song from Pokemon starts playing and Lugia bursts forth from the darkness of the sea bottom into a whirlpool that fills up the screen.

It would blow people's minds.

Just got to level 10, checked my items.

Says I have 367/350

how is that even possible?

I think you receive the items given to you upon leveling up regardless if your bag was full.

The items you got from leveling up, they do that instead of tossing them.

 

[ShooterMcGavin]

n00b question here, but I couldn't find anything on it. Is there a "limit" when it comes to powering up your Pokemon? Let's say I had a level 10 Pidgeot (unrealistic, I know). Would I be able to power it up to 1,000 and beyond?

Edit - Holy crap, I'm an idiot...

 

[ironmang]

Saw 502 bulbasaur and he broke out of the first berried ultra ball and ran.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Is it dumb to just leave my screen completely on while I sit in my room to catch things? It keeps turning off every minute and I'm wondering if I'll miss things.

 

[Gaming Truth]

Didn't see it in the OP or either Hawkian faq, but why do some of the Pokemon in my list have blue backgrounds behind them and some don't?

Blue background means you caught it in the last 24 hours.

Different types have different backgrounds.

 

[wamberz1]

Oh god
this game combines my love of geocaching and jogging, then adds a layer of pokemon
I can already tell it's going to consume me

 

[gardfish]

Different types have different backgrounds.

It's not that, it's a faint blue circular tint around certain Pokemon in the list with no discernible rhyme or reason.
