I'm stuck (for a few hours) just far enough from a Pokestop that I keep passing in and out of range, but not close enough that I can use it. Whoever put a lure there, thank you. ;_;
 
Is it wrong/sad that I'm really considering buying a remote control car to strap my phone to and walk my eggs? It's hot as fuck outside. I'd even consider setting up a camera on it.

I find this more funny than sad. Fuck Florida this time of the year, I grab my pokestops from my car at the park.
 
Ok, after trying this out for a bit, it seems to give slightly more accurate locations and finds many of the pokemon that pokevision misses while still finding the ones that pokevision does too:

I think I might do that too. Just reinstall the game. I'm using my google account, so it should save all my progress....

Right guyz!?!!?!?
Some people have reported that simply restarting their phone fixes it, so you might want to try that before reinstalling :3

In theory everything is stored server side so there shouldn't be any loss from a reinstall, though admittedly I haven't tried it myself yet :p

That's actually a great idea haha. Keep us updated if you do it, because if it works well I might consider it tbh.

Thanks... Yeah, I've restarted the phone plenty. Must be on my end. Because I have no sound either now unless I plug my headphones in. All other sound from everything else goes through normally. Must be the game not liking something about my phone or something. Ha... oh well. If it starts me over, I'm only at a fresh level 13.

Wow, its 1am and I'm already in bed just browsing. Read your comment, thought I will try this tracker out and scan my location.
Scanning... Lapras right in my yard.
Get my phone, fire up the app. Lapras appears. Cp 388.
Throw berry, throw ultraball, Lapras runs away.

Don't know how to feel. At least it wasn't a high CP. Then I would be really pissed.
Farewell Lapras.

only 10 second wait.....is actually showing other players scans as well nearby. Damn this website fucking makes pokevision look like a joke.

They just need to make it more phone friendly

It is better to have found and lost than never found at all? ;D

Yeah, it does seem to object to losing focus on my phone for too long (requiring a refresh to bring the map back sometimes) and it seems to be designed for a PC screen in terms of size rather than a phone. Hard to argue with how effective it is though :eek:

yes, if I'm using PC though

this is the way to go.....its got so much faster the guy is constantly updating it.
 
seems like it still scans a very small area, i just wanna find charizard.

Yup, but it scans it super fast and has a low 'cooldown' before scanning again plus it seems to add everyone else's scans into the mix. The more people who use this the more potent it seems to get XD

Sadly not many people using it in edinburgh right now else that "find rare pokemon (world search)" thing would be awesome :3 (it only shows pokemon that have been revealed by current scans and haven't despawned yet sadly)

edit:

Of course... but I don't want to make a PTC account just to use it so this works a bit better for moi :p

i really don't get the argument for limiting Go to generation 1 only, theres a lot of good ass pokemon in that 570+ that aren't in the game yet

they aren't going to dump all of them on us in one go, it's not going to be overwhelming. you might not be familiar with those pokemon but give it time and you will be. you will even find yourself some new favourites.

anyway, its a useless discussion because niantic have pretty much confirmed that more pokemon are coming. and i doubt its going to happen for a few months so there really isnt any need to panic about hundreds of new pokemon appearing everywhere ruining your nostalgia trip.

Why does he wear the mask!?
Had a good day today with the game

Sad I need to use a separate app to find the Pokemon though. Wish Niantic would fix that.

I basically ignore any common Pokémon that are harder to catch than a bright yellow ring

they all give the same amount of xp, stardust, and candy anyways, it's not worth the hassle

I'm curious about the possibility of collaboratively reporting nests especially when/if they block the assist tools like pokemap etc.
not just a possibility, this is my reality around here. Here's one of the lists that has been posted to a group i'm in, I contributed some to it myself:

Pine Island Park: Mankeys
Heritage Park: Growlithe
Flamingo Park: Jynx
TY Park: Jynx, Onyx
Happy Dog Tail: Voltorbs
Hollywood Broadwalk: Seel/Abra/Omanyte/Kabuto/Dodou/Blastoise
Markham Park: Hitmonlee
Central Park: Bulbusaur
Tradewind Park: Lickytongue
Cypress Park: Ponyta
John Williams: Onyx
Vistaview Park: Charmander
Sugar Sand Park: Pikachu
Lauderhill Sports Complex: Ghastly
Tamarac Sports Complex: Machop
it's pretty awesome to plan an excursion specifically to a nest to farm something or to fill in the dex spot. I've done this 3 times so far and each was a pretty great day.

I definitely recommend searching around and trying to engage with your local community if at all possible :)

The trackemon filter search doesn't work for me. I continue to see every type of pokemon even when I try to filter out the stuff I have already caught.

Tried to get a Scyther that was in my neighborhood but it was literally in someones house and I would have had to drive way up their driveway to get to it haha. Feels bad man.
 
Just got back from a solid hour of riding around the neigborhood on a bike and using jellies' tracker. First time for me really playing the game, rather than firing it up wherever I happen to be. Turns out it's pretty fun, lol.
 
I've been able to pin point 6 exact spawn locations for Bulbasaur near my house but they're a good one or two blocks away from each other. Close, but not as close as some other nests I've seen, and other uncommon Pokemon will take turns spawning in those spots.

So I'm looking at that IV calculator.. How high of a perfection rate should one aim for before deciding to evolve a Pokémon?

Currently pondering whether an Eevee with an average perfection of 76% is a good bet to evolve.
 
While poking about I also found a map thing that, for me at least, is like a searching nuke. Basically you go to your area and if there's not already a 'location scanner' present (they show as a big pokemon trainer on the map) you just click the 'add new location' button and enter the name of your city or whatever and when it eventually gets around to plonking a location scanner there you get 10 minutes of a huuuuuuge radius in real time. The site's a bit sluggish due to high usage though but if you're not using the desktop thingy this is probably about as good as you get (though you might want to still use tracekmon to check the spawn timers on anything as they seem to be 0 on this for now :eek: )

Ah, if you're having any trouble might want to leave the dev a message on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongod...altime_live_location_map_for_pokémon_go_view/
