I might have missed this, but has Niantic said when they plan to incorporate the footsteps/tracking option in-game? I went for a walk today and a Lapras showed up on my nearby Pokémon list. Of course, not knowing which direction to walk, I kind of stumbled around and ended up missing it. I know I could have used Poke-Vision, but by the time I thought to it was already too late.
It'd be nice if I could see this kind of information immediately in-game.
as someone who recently went on a pokehunt with someone using pokevision I can safely say that you should just ignore the in game radar completely. Any rare pokemon on it likely isn't with in range anyways.
either join the evil side and use pokevision or something similar to do targeted hunting, or understand right now you are basically just aimlessly walking around hoping you get lucky.
I assume recustomization will be free. As I more expect them to introduce a clothing and hair shop where you can buy new outfits and hair and even costumes for money.
Chose yellow shirt but picked team valor. How do I correct this terrible mistake? I'm past the point of no return.
At least you chose the right team, I am sure there will be an update in the future to change clothes and accessories.

Thanks, you guys.
I guess I'll continue to use Poke-Vision until it's no longer needed.

Found decent CP Porygon and Omanyte during my bus route through London this morning.
At present my hunting method is to wait for Pokemon to show on the in-game radar. If they're nearby, I'll walk around a bit and see if they pop up. If they're far, I'll hop on PokeVision and have a look since hunting distant Pokemon with the three step issue is a legitimate hell. It was tough enough before tracking was disabled.
In our local town yesterday, everyone was using apps to track down Pokemon. It was hilarious to see a group of almost 10 launch into a run after someone announced there was an Electabuzz near Cafe Nero, haha.

Media try to diabolize the app when in fact it's none pokemon go players who're dangerous toward players, imo

I accumulated about 150 Magikarp candies over about 2ish hours today at Embarcadero.

I will go out on a limb here and say it probably has to do with whatever religious affiliation the media associates with. Trying to fit Pokémon Go into their agenda because it deals with evolution and stuff like that. Plus it's popular, so it's instant clicks.
I've seen one. Even saw a couple Muks.
Was it around any specific geographical features that you remember? Maybe a dump or sewage facility? Or do you remember what kind of pokemon were around it? There seem to be definite pokemon "biomes" where certain ones are always together.
Man, that's incredible
Nope, media try to diabloze it more in a way: "it's for kids, grown up should not play this"

Idiotic argument considering it's pretty much aimed at our generation. It's practically our birthright.

Fought the gym here at the airport, got stuck with the 1HP bug twice. Luckily another member of team Mystic managed to take it over and I dumped a Pokémon there.

Yeah that's dumb. Pokémon has been here for 20 years. They're saying I'm supposed to grow out of these things and not do things that I couldn't possibly do as a child? Would rather have them do the religious spin instead lol.

So.... Our local golf course has a periodically spawning Magmar (saw one on Pokevision and when that one disappeared a new one spawned).
If it keeps doing that I might see if I can get to it. I'll need you guys help though.
Edit: Holy shit. It has TWO Magmars on it now.
Edit2: Three now! That's a Magmar nest yo.

only one park near me seems to have a special spawn
they spawn there pretty frequently (this image was just taken) so I will have to go down and catch some sometime. it's only like a 10 minute walk. Also seems to be the most common place for squirtle to spawn (we are talking one squirtle every 4-6 hours there though).

So whats the best mobile pokemon map... app? Wanna track them better instead of being lost wondering where they are exactly. Pokevision was pretty accurate when I tested it looking for a Staryu down the street.
Also is it true Taruos is NA exclusive and Farfetche'd is Asia?

The golf course near my house constantly has 25+ spawns on it
I have 30+ evolutions ready and 3 10km eggs incubating.. Now we wait for the right timing..

Not sure abiut the best, but I have been using this wonderful tool since yesterday:
https://www.dslreports.com/front/gaftest.html
Look for Pokemon Go Live Map
Its a desktop app but it gives you a link you can use on mobile so you can go out and catch shit
so just more proof that the fakes go Valor while the real heroes go Mystic?
Chose yellow shirt but picked team valor. How do I correct this terrible mistake? I'm past the point of no return.
You just made me realize I´m wearing the red shirt but am team Mystic. And now I can´t unsee it!
Perfect. Thanks!

I'm level 20, but it's harder than ever to catch anything. Even low level trash jumps out of balls a few times before capture.
I have one, but I´m not sure if I caught it somewhere or if it popped from an egg...I haven´t seen any more apart from the one I caught.
I caught a grimer, though there wasn't anything notable about the area.

And this is why everyone just uses pokevision.com.
it's always 3 signs,i can't find it
i went to every position but i can't find it.
Pls fix, Niantic

In game radar is pointless right now, utterly.
Asia except Hong Kong and Japan, Africa and Latin America

I spent some time yesterday following a Butterfree around looking at the Near list to see when it dropped positions so I could tell if I was getting closer or not. After 15 minutes of going in circles I just used Pokévision and confirmed that the information the radar was giving me was total bullshit and the Butterfree was much further away from where the radar had led me.

Checked my two local golf courses... absolutely nada :-(
I caught a Grimer in my apartment so...
Clean your apartment.
If I caught where I think I did there was nothing special about this place. Except that it´s in the outer part of the center of the city and it´s a place where many varied Pokémons appear: I´ve caught there a Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Lickitung, Polywag, Zubat, Pidgey...I go through that place everyday twice when I go to/from work and almost everyday I find something new.
Yeah same with me caught a 1405CP Muk yesterday
At higher difficulties you should just expect to have to curve it.
They still make you waste balls by having Pokemon break out so often though.
