Ok, thanks. I just use the root features for ad blocking in apps, underclocking my CPU, etc.
I'll make sure to check that.
Me too
Just got worried because I've read some stuff about rooting your phone and Niantic not liking it.

Thanks for the info. I'm 17 and the highest I've seen is 800.
They are EVERYWHERE in New York. But was in southern California this weekend and instead of Pidgeys and Rattatas it was Ekans and Spearow.

Hope they do, I historically find that any game involving tap and swipe gestures will frequently annoy me by interpreting my swipes as taps from time to time and pokemon go is no exception :/
Also, speed pokemon really need help XD

Are ppl running the Python script from their home PC, or on their phone?
Can't imagine it being too useful if it's stationary

I tried using that on my Snorlax, came up with no combinations on doing a power up to try and narrow it down. x.x

Can't speak for everyone but most I've seen use it as a 'spotter' on their PC. They'll either scan nearby for anything interesting and dart out of the house if they see something they desperately want, OR they'll use it to narrow down general spawn zones for stuff so when they wander out they know a rough area where they might stand at least a chance of catching what they're after :3
edit:
Huh, interesting. Make sure it's a single space followed by a 1 in the name field for the 2nd attempt (e.g. mrSnores -> mrSnores 1 -> mrSnores 2, etc) and don't forget to set 'powerup' to TRUE (I forgot that the first time I did it XD )
Nah they are for everyone. Also pokevision seems like the game shark of Pokemon go lol... Footstep bug aside, doesn't that take the fun out of the game?

Do we have any idea as to why someone at a high level would find a fully evolved pokemon with such low cp?
PVP is going to be so boring with the current system.
You can just use ngrok and have it forward the localhost to an address accessible by your phone browser.

Great, just saw a flareon outside of my home (never happens, theres only ekans, rattatas and pidgeys, and even then, they adont appear near me but in my "surroundings", and pokevision just went down for maintenance.
Was also going to use it tonight with some friends, really hope "short maintenance window" really means short.

I could be wrong, but as far as I'm aware all that being higher level does is increase the maximum level the pokemon you find, hatch and level up can be. I don't believe it does anything to the minimum value so you can still find level 1 stuff no matter how far into the game you are, it's just increasingly less likely due to the larger level range :3
In better news than my lost Ninetails, I went into the city proper today for the first time. Saw a few lures as I subwayed into old town in Stockholm, figured it'd be as good a place as any to see what a hotspot is like. And.. it's great! Raking in monsters and exp and items from the four or so clustered Stops which kept getting Lures refreshed.
If anyone around Stockholm needs a Voltron, holy shit just pop your head into Gamla Stan -- I was only there for an hour and picked up 14 of the things.

My theory is just that the CP of a pokemon you encounter is completely random. At higher levels, the cap increases so that there is a chance of finding higher CP pokemon, but the minimum does not increase in the same way, so there is still the chance of finding a CP 10 magmar or something like that. RNG will always troll you.
Why the separate account? Wouldn't you need your level information?

Probably your 100 one or a multiple of it (200, 300, etc.)

Damn it RNG. Seriously. I get a Poliwag I want to use, evolve it and it keeps mud shot. Then I evolve it again, Freaking BUBBLE????????

Guys, just saw someone at a Chipotle with a Team Instinct shirt
Yeah I had the names as Snorlax then Snorlax 1.
It finds IVs if I leave the name blank, but not with Snorlax 1 in. :X
The Snorlax was already powered up before I tried the spreadsheet, so it was set to TRUE on both.

Agreed. There's no real strategy to the current implementation :/
So when it inevitably gets banned, your actual pokemon account doesn't

I want to say that it might reapper, Im pretty sure its happened to me before. I almost always use incenses when I play, so that might effect it
This game has really reignited my passion for Pokemon related stuff in general. In fact, the other day I was replaying Fire Red when I heard one of my roommates playing Indigo League on the TV in the living room, and my girlfriend simultaneously walked in to show me some Pokemon related merchandise she wanted.
Geminosity

Yeah, it's a bit strange that they re-randomise the moveset when you evolve. Carrying over moves from previous forms was always a part of the mainline pokemon games
That's annoying :/
Might be worth leaving a comment in the thread and seeing if the spreadsheet person who made it has any ideas
Also, if you post the entries you've used I can have a go at it and see if I have any luck XD
While Niantac's communication has unexcusably been awful, they obviously did a major overhaul to their servers last night during the down time. They're working extremely well right now.

Yep, Pokemon Go is simply a bad game. As a catalyst for interesting social interactions and an example of interesting AR, it's pretty cool. If they don't add depth no one is going to be talking about it after a bit, though.

Agreed, the game was never this responsive for me before the massive downtime. I don't get pokeball freezes or anything now and the menus respond with surprising rapidity compared to before
Then again, maybe a whole mass of people gave up on the game during the downtime? ^.^;

Two questions -
When facing a tough pokemon to catch, is it better to run away after each failed attempt and retry? Could that possibly prevent the pokemon from running away?
Is it true that the smaller the circle, the higher the catch rate?

Nope, that's definitely not how it works. The pokemon that appear are the same for everyone, all that level does is cap the maximum level the pokemon you capture/hatch will be for you.
That said, incense is player-specific so if there's going to be any difference in what people find based off level that's the only place it could occur.

The game is still the most downloaded app on iOS in the countries where it's been released, so, I suppose there's a quite sizable amount of people anyway
However, I fear for servers stability once the game is released in Japan.
That's what I was leaning towards too as I often play with my wife who's pretty low but we've been able to see the same stuff so I just wanted to confirm

I've seen all kinds of theories on this but I'm not aware of anything conclusive sadly. I just curveball-throw everything and hope for the best
Some were claiming that in the code they'd managed to get a look at there was a bonus for capturing with a nice! excellent! and whatnot which increases capture chance. No idea on the running away thing though, interesting idea
May as well call the japan release 'doomsday'The game is still the most downloaded app on iOS in the countries where it's been released, so, I suppose there's a quite sizable amount of people anyway

Haha, no worries. Sorry if I sounded a bit stern: I see far too many people trying to theorise whether their starter or other thing changes spawns when all the evidence and even my own little trials indicate that pokemon spawns outside of incense are global and therefore couldn't really be affected by individual differences :3
I prefer it this way because it means you can say to your friend "eevee on our left!" or whatever when you're out and about with them XD

omg thank you so much for this! I don't have to keep coming back home now after each hunt and refresh. haha

I saw his silhouette so I just walked aimlessly around my city's usual hotspots until i finally found him

Sine I can't really play on my iPad. I thought it'll be cool to mess around with the spoofer. Holy crap, so many lured Pokestops in San Fran. There's like over 30 right now.
