speed in the original games does fuck all in this game compared to the other stats
(coincidentally this is why future cover legendaries would have better stats than Mewtwo lol)

Like anyone will actually trust the other teams.
I guess no one is going to complete the Pokedex.

What the...
Actually I picked blue because I love Articuno. And if it had been based around Gen 2, I'd still have gone blue because Suicune rocks your socks.

Only features we heard were:
- trading
- pokecenters
- possibly customizing pokestops.
No details given
- Do move sets dictate evolved move sets? Yes.
- Breading not in plans at the moment.
Asking about poaching gyms. It's opened up and someone steals it. John says to be nice and don't do that haha. He acknowledges that as an issue for the future. Chris reiterates there game is still very new.

No one said anything even remotely close to that.
Did you missed the (second) kid question ?
He asked that (something like that) : "do the team colors are related to the legenday birds ?" Niantics replied "kinda, we will give more details later"

No yeah i heard that but going from that to "ZOMG YOU CAN ONLY CATCH ONE OF THE BIRDS" is crazy.
Thats not what the kid said at all. It was a little 9 year old asking if the birds were related to the teams you get to choose. Dont know if the kid didnt explain himself right or if that was genuinely a dumb kid question but the redditor is bullshitting.
I was there. The kid did NOT ask if it affects the legendary you get, he asked if they are related to the team.
Here's a confrmation
https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/4uemht/my_sdcc_update_thread/d5p61li
And how do you think they're going to be related ?
Each team color represent the color of one legendary bird and even have a logo about it.
I doubt it, it's just for show.
Now this quote is correct. It was just a tease.
I could think of a few ways.
You team up with your bird and have to take down the other two. At the end you can catch all 3.

Oh good. Someone corrected you. But also remember that joining a team is completely optional so it wouldnt make sense to lock the birds behind each team.

Articuno is the best bird, who cares about 1v1 matchups
Okay well sorry for misinterpreting posts like these. I was just asking a question.

No, gold and silver had the cats. I doubt they'd split those legendaries like that.

Went out to catch pokemon with my little 6yr old nephew and my sis. He had only like 3 pokeballs left and finally a Krabby appeared for him. He's been looking for it for ages and really likes that pokemon.
Unfortunately we didn't manage to catch it while my sister did, he was out of pokeballs and the little guy just burst into tears.
That shit broke my heart. Gonna swing by my sis' house a bit later, when he's asleep, take his cellphone and get him a couple of hundred pokeballs and hopefully catch that pokemon he really wants.
Even if it takes me all night til dawn.

Scored a Pikachu, finally 
2 questions
I'm casually playing this and have really bonded with my youngest 12 years old over this. For her birthday coming up I plan on buying her a 3ds so that we can play that together as well. Anyone know where a good stating point is? WE both played yellow a few years ago on our android phones but thats it.
2nd question: Are type pokemons a strategy on gym battles for pokemon GO. Does it matter if I use a water pokemon against a fire pokemon.

It's in the middle of a cemetery.

This seems unlikely to happen if only because this means Niantic can never implement team-specific or competition-specific rewards, because everyone would just jump ship to whatever team was winning an event.
The best they could probably do would be to add something that's "passive" to the game that you can do from your home... which may go against the point of it.
Maybe once a hour/day/whatever you could choose 2 Pokemon and control 1 to fight the other. You'd still have to use potions to heal them, and the reward would be XP and/or stardust. It just couldn't be something abusable.

I was at the panel. Said they only covered 10% of their ideas when they released the game. Top priority is servers and bugs. He said adding training is a high priority.
Well, a confirmation that it's not a priority is definitely worth posting about.
"go for a walk to a place that has it" lmao ok. I'll go for a 30 mile walk in this heat sure.
Seems like it'd be a good idea to let people switch teams before they implement anything.
If you're buying her a 3DS, Pokemon X/Y are probably the best bet. They're generally regarded as "easier" games and they're a wonderful starting point. You could look into OR/AS which are remakes of the Generation 3 games Ruby and Sapphire. Red, Blue, and Yellow are also available on the eShop Virtual Console.
Regarding gyms, yes there is a multiplier bonus for super effective moves. It's not always enough to override a difference in CP/other factors, however.
Summary of the panel (see about rural areas my previous post):

Their super relaxed demeanor is both good and bad. On the one hand, they dont seem too concerned with stopping third party programs like Pokevision and Pokemon Map which I use, but on the other hand that means theyll be dragging their ass on fixing the tracking system which is the only reason I even use them.
better than we're not working on it?

My phone has taken a legit beating today. Pokestops with lures all over the mall, then finished off at a park where there was about 15 of us fighting over the same gym.
To top it off my daughter was using my hotspot for her own ipad pokemon session. Recruited her into Team Instinct 👍. Score another one for the good guys.

Went to Houston this weekend for Distant Worlds concert and wow... I know people have mentioned it a lot and I've seen the pictures, but actually being there like... the difference between being in a small town and a big city is crazy. Here's where I'm from- this is what the road looks like when we go pokestop hunting:
And here's Houston:
I mean, the place in the picture is a park so it has a lot of stops, but the rest of downtown still had pokestops all over. The best pokestop location in my town has 4 stops (which is sadly better than some places) and hardly has any lures of anything up. This park was pretty much non stop. lol It was really fun, though. There were just tons of people there all playing pokemon and the atmosphere was just really cool. We get a little of that here but nothing on this scale. It's only an hour and a half away, so hoping we can go back sometime and make a day of it!

My city is fairly small and is officially classified as the poorest in the US but we still have a lot of PokeStops. I guess it's less about size and more about how many Ingress geeks your town had.
