You're getting softbanned by anti-botting algorithms.
Edit:
It sees you going fast and assumes GPS spoofing.
Rather harmless though, should only last ~5 mins after you stop going fast.

Anyone having trouble with their great balls always curving?
It seems like every time I use a great ball 5 of them just fly off the screen before one lands. I don't have this problem with pokeballs so maybe this is a bug?

make sure you are swiping straight, use both hands. most of the time it's people not realising they arent swiping straight especially on pokemon further away

Why do people recommend making ptc accounts rather than throwaway Google accounts for the scripts?
Just curious - I used a throwaway Google account which seems more reliable as ptc tends to go down fairly often

So, if I'm going on a trip and will be riding passenger on the highway, there's no point in popping an incense to try and catch stuff?
Since it's just going to soft ban me for going too fast?

If you have an Android phone you can login to the game and purchase your items through, you can use the Play store credits. Can't do it with your iPhone though.

Sat in town on my lunch and solo took out a red level 5 gym, after beating it the last time and it went through the victory bit and showed it being turned to grey - I clicked it and BAM - it was now being converted to a blue gym (I'm yellow).
They really need to add in a short timer (say 2 mins) locking the now grey gym to the person who took it down - to give them a chance to put one of their Pokémon in.

But if I buy Pokecoins on Android then log out, will I see them on iPhone?
I wouldn't recommend an incense for car rides anyways (unless going slow), since pokemon will be zooming by too quickly (though not hard).
I don't think they will softban you. I play when my GF drives all the time anyways. I can catch pokemon & get pokestops quite well.
Tip for Pokestops & Cars: Only touch the pokestop just before you enter range. If you do this well, by time it comes up you can swipe it and gain the items without trouble.
You can get up to 100 coins per day from holding up to 10 gyms. You just have to be a bit lucky or find a group to go around and cap gyms with to make it easier.
Of course. Progress is tied to your Google or PTC account. What device you log in to doesn't matter.
That's Impossible where I live. First of all, there aren't even 10 gyms nearby that I possibly could get to without spending hours walking. Second, even when we take over a gym here it will be overtaken within 30 minutes. If I'm lucky, I can maybe get 30 coins on a good day, but mostly it's just 10 coins/day.
Antwerp in Belgium had to do something similar when an organized Lure event (organized by the stores) went a bit bigger than expected.Düsseldorf / Germany.

Been using Pokémon GO Live Map not to go rushing out grabbing nearby pokémon, but to scope out areas a little further away where I normally wouldn't go. Managed to find a reliable Pikachu spawn street, a park that spawns regular Pinsirs and a Magmar-spawning golf course. That's where we'll be heading next time we're out hunting

It clearly depends on where you live, but I'm able to farm 40-50 coins /die without too much work (and I definitely could do better).
I'd argue Incense is best for riding around in a car in residential areas. Assuming you're only going 40MPH at the most, pokemon pop up more quickly with an incense than if you were just walking or standing still.
Don't even bother if you're going faster than that though.
Yeah I tend to only get 10coins a day. Gyms are too spread out.

Yep, something from here, a windows exe and made a dummy google account to use with it.

Don't know what gyms are like in your area but everything in my area has Pokemon with 1800 CP on them, and I can't take that, anywhere near that.
Ah thank you kind sir!
EDIT- LOL bless my mum. She sent me this message. Cracking up here xD
Higher level pokemon are just harder to catch. When the game literally won't let you throw straight, you need to curve the ball to try and hit them. Spin the ball around quickly and then flick your finger in a semi-circle motion the way you'd like to have the ball curve.
I just made a little video of the gesture as an example: https://streamable.com/ixa0

Has anybody seen this?
So I take down a gym controlled by a Mystic Jolteon in the 600's. I post up a Snorlax (Instinct) and move on. I check on the gym about ten minutes later and the Mystic Jolteon is back, but I don't have my Snorlax. As if he's still holding the gym. Is Snorlax's return just delayed?
Edit: posting this (and quitting the app) fixed it!

Don't feel bad. My mom thinks I'm mentally handicapped, too.

Man I really don't like that idea of how to introduce gen 2 to PoGo that's trending on reddit right now.

It would be nice if you linked us or told us what the idea is.

What exactly do you not like about it?
i dont think its that bad, locking players out of the expanded pokedex until they've got a certain amount of 1st gen pokemon is a bad idea though
Omg wow- didnt realise all this was incoming

I don't like the concept of people needing to hit some quota before unlocking generations of pokemon. Honestly I hope at some point that they upgrade the Pokedex for everyone to show 751 (or however many) slots, and then just trickle in random pokemon from any generation, without announcing them or anything so that it's more exciting and unpredictable. Also so we won't have to wait multiple generations for some pokemon to get their evolutions. We need pokemon like Electivire, Magmortar and Rhyperior asap IMO.
its not. Its a reddit post about how the OP would bring in the second generation to Pokemon Go.

Is that Gen 2 stuff a fan mock up or is this official?
Never mind, I see that it's not real
