There was proof you get extra points, not that it increases capture rate.
If im wrong please give source, last thing I saw was that at least.

Quite sure I saw that at some point yea, but google fails me right now.

correct about everything
not sure why anyone would need proof for one of the few things the game explicitly tells you.

from my feeling I'd definitely say yes, but there's no evidence
I don't think they deactivated them. Last Sunday I want to the mall in San Juan, and for some reason all the pokemons that I caught while there have the map on it.
Edit: nvm.. For some reason now all the Pokemon that in caught that day don't have it..
Because someone thought it meant its extra capture rate when it was just extra xp.
There's a similar spot just by the river at Embankment. There's a gym there too.
Nelson's Collumn at Trafalgar Square is another. 4 stops.
yes
I think anything related to capture rates would be done server-side.
Ah nice! Good shout; will have to check it out this weekend

Just went ahead and evolved 5 at a time to pop level 13. Do you guys use your great balls right away or save them for more rare pokemon? They're all I have for the morning until I can hit some poke stops.
Same. Wanted to hunt some rare ones down. >.>
John Dunbar

if you have access to plenty of pokestops, you can throw them at anything you think is decent enough. they are very common at stops.

I was there last night!
Wow. What a site. I'm sure that's probably really common, too, but damn that looks like a lot of stops. The most I've ever seen in my town in a cluster was probably 5-6.
I'll be heading a few hours down to Columbia South Carolina in a couple weeks. Anyone hunting around down there?
Oh man, I have two ponds near were I live and they spawn two magikarp almost every time I walk by. I'm not even trying and I have 130 magikarp candies.
I think it depends on place. Indeed the Pokemons I capture in San Juan (Puerto Rico) do appear in the map, from other places (like around work) nothing O_O
Where you catching a Blastoise in San Juan (assuming Puerto Rico)? I saw the picture and from reading people here saying the game has slow down...they clearly haven't seen those pictures O_O
this is a good idea
If you got like a 1 day bus pass or monthly oyster card the bus route that takes you from Trafalgar Square to St Pauls (Bus 15, 6, 23 etc) I could have sworn there was 20+ poke stops so you could ride the buses back and fourth all day providing the traffic is non existent on those days and use a lucky egg.
But last night the night bus just zipped past those poke stops.
There are some similar spots in Aldgate too. Sadly one is at an island surrounded by roundabout traffic but that too has 4 poke stops very close to each other. The other has 3 pokestops and is behind the Metropolitan University. The green grass bit near the Whitechapel Gallery has 3 poke stops and quite a few Bulbasaur spawning.

Hahah I wish I was catching a Blastoise
But yes I think it depends on the place. I went to plaza las Americas and all the Pokemon that i caught while walking around the mall has the map on it. But now that I checked it's gone.

I need them to start selling great balls or ultra balls. Been all out of balls since last night's Exeggutor taking 20 Great balls to catch.
This morning stopped by the first Pokéstop and it gave me 3 red balls. A Beedrill popped up and I had never seen him before. Landed 3 "great" throws, he escaped out of all of them.

Does anyone elses app become completely unresponsive after a few minutes? Is that server issues or something else? I'm on iPhone 6 and the game has become unplayable.

How can you not have a Beedrill at this point. There are Weedles everywhere. If I would have evolved them into Beedrills I would have at least 6-7
yeah but evolving to kakuna only takes 12 weedle candy and gives 500 exp
do you math bruh

I thought that Great etc. does increase your chances. Same for Curveballs. Am I wrong?
EDIT: Sorry for double post
People who datamined the game still seem to be arguing if there are capture modifiers for curveballs and the nice/great/etc categories in addition to the xp. There are some 'threshold' numbers in the data that don't correspond to the xp amount but it's unclear what they refer to outside of the 'bonus' one of 100 which is 100th pokemon.
One thing that's 100% though is this part of the official site's instructions:
https://support.pokemongo.nianticla...s/221957648-Finding-and-Catching-wild-Pokémon
Now... do you need to hit inside the circle for it to be true? That one is still under debate

All my Weedles are for 12 candy 500XP fodder. Same as Pidgeys.
Exactly.
doesn't matter. evolution just adds a multiplier.
Sounds like an issue with your phone
nah not a problem with my phone
I've had the game crash maybe twice in the past week and the game is constantly on

Not sure if it'll help but I noticed last night that it was acting up with slow logins, freezes, server disconnects and whatnot but others around me seemed fine. I restarted my phone and the game started working fantastically again so it might be worth giving that a shot if http://ispokemongodownornot.com/ isn't showing any problems with the servers.
Based off that though I'm starting to wonder if the app has some kind of minor memory leak? (I say minor because I've been using it tonnes before it got to this point)
I thought the dataminers said it does increase your chances?
To get highest CP possible you need perfect IV.
