[Doctor West]

Everything is changing! I'm both excited and nervous, haha.

 

[Firemind]

and they still haven't touched thunder shock

what's wrong with niantic

 

[Dion Blaster]

Spread sheet from reddit with new DPS for most moves (assuming that move duration has stayed the same):

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JiP463-X5XUFdPZvKovgcvDBWpULAL3-5acTjbEfBVE/edit#gid=0

 

[FZZ]

Meta changes are fine

I just want Dratinis back fam

D:

 

[Firemind]

why did they nerf shadow claw

niantic pls

gengar am cry

 

[Hellix]

Such great changes.

Fuck Vaporeon, and my shitty but high CP Lapras is now viable! Wonderful!

I have been getting annoyed getting shafted with all my evolutions with what most charts deem as "shitty" movesets. Maybe my moves will actually be the preferred ones now...

 

[3phemeral]

Yeah, my Snorlax went from 70 to 120.

 

[EL CUCO]

I guess nobody cares about Karate chopped liver

 

[Zafir]

Wow, those changes means my Snorlax now has the worst moveset possible.

Feels bad.

 

[blankempathy]

So my alakazam is even worse now?
Also I don't think fury cutter was at 3.

 

[royox]

Hey guys I finally evolved my Eevee into Vapore-

I'm compiling all the balance changes here:

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

 

[Geneijin]

Niantic didn't put timers on attacking the same gym right? I'm getting booted from battle unless it's a server issue.

Edit: Yah, login issues right now.

 

[AdanVC]

Fanart time!


http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=58140784

This is so cool <3

 

[Pineconn]

Feels bad when you remember that you transferred your two Poliwraths with Bubble because you finally got one with Mud Shot...

 

[zroid]

Somehow, this is Sakurai's fault

 

[3phemeral]

This happened to me when a gym was being attacked by several people. The monster I was fighting was removed because the gym prestige went down and the monster lost a slot. The gym was being taken down faster than I could perform a single attack.

 

[Drain You]

On todays episode of Pokemon Go VS. Mom

Me and a buddy were at a park and when we happened to look up we see my mom. She wandered around aimlessly for a while ( most likely tracking those damned three paw print Pokemon ) Finally she sat for a bit, still not seeing us. Finally on the last pass through we caught her in the act.

PS: Love my mom, and hate vertical video. My B.

Ah, makes sense. Thanks. Unfortunately, I still can't attack any other gyms and things are sometimes disappearing even after rebooting

 

[johnsmith]

Some patch notes sure would be nice. Or you know, any contact from the devs at all.

 

[JayWood2010]

The game is running terrible for me now. Anybody else?

 

[FleetingFlowAir]

I think the hype is dying down a bit.

I've been at a mall and a few Gyms around have been fought over many times during my visit there. I've even met someone who knew I was playing GO. The hype is more easily found in places populated with locations.

 

[zroid]

I bet Niantic is gonna find a way to sell new movesets for real money

like 100 coins to randomize the moves of your Pokémon

 

[lt519]

Hitmomchan, Voltorb, and Ekans from my eggs today (and a Staryu, blegh). Successful walk. Not finding any new Pokemon roaming around anymore, all about the eggs.

10km could have been better than the Hitmomchan, seems really weak for gyms, but better than an Eevee and didn't have him.

Tentacools spawned literally on top of a gym and I couldn't click it. Kept sending me to the gym.

 

[jasminlovesyoux]

I havent gone out to battle yet but I'm REALLY happy all the special attacks were buffed. Now they're actually viable and have a point!

 

[Lukemon]

Wow, only just seen all the buffs/nerfs going on. Feels like there are changes to meter generation from normal attacks too - both my Gengar and Hypno seemed to fill their bars WAY quicker than before when I hit up the Gym over the road just now...

 

[SolidChamp]

My friends here in Taiwan created a Pokemon GO FB group and they're going batshit waiting for the servers to go live.

There's absolutely no sign that this will be happening anytime soon, right?

 

[lt519]

Ooh cool a balance update. ~goes back to playing the game that none of that was relevant for anyway

 

[Elfstruck]

Hmm my pokemon's skillset values havent changed at all. =/

 

[The_Dama]

50k to level 21?

fuck that

 

[Toki767]

50k to level 21?

fuck that

It's called a soft cap for a reason. 150k to level 25. After you hit 24.

 

[The_Dama]

whats the max level for now?

 

[Geneijin]

whats the max level for now?

40

 

[RandomExpletive]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUCK my Slowpoke's watergun! IT WAS SO POWERFUL!

 

[Lukemon]

50k to level 21?

fuck that

Low 21 to cusp of 22 was one Lucky Egg for me but yeah, it gets worse. At least I can actually look to get Butterfree/Beedrill now rather than pour everything into levelling XP...

 

[krae_man]

So I haven't looked at how the gyms work yet but I decided to try a couple near my house.

First one had 3 people in it and I managed to defeat all 3 and turn it over to my team and it was just me in it. I tried to leave more then 1 pokemon there but couldn't so I left.

Then I found one controlled by my team and tried to add myself to it but couldn't but noticed I could train. I managed to defeat one trainer and the gym got some exp and I noticed it was close to leveling up so I trained some more and it leveled up.

I noticed an option to add a pokemon to it so I did and the game crashed. when I loaded the game back up the gym lost 3000xp thus the add a pokemon slot was gone plus the game said I was too far away now despite standing on the marker pretty much.

This games buggyness pisses me off so much. I hate not getting proper credit/reward for my acomplishments. Same with not getting full waking credit.

 

[Abstrusity]

Three miles down the road, there is a church with a cemetery behind it.

If I sit in its parking lot, I can get three close pokestops from my air conditioned car.

Similarly, there is a Presidential Hall of Fame, where one of the pokestops is Obama sitting on a bench. I caught a Magmar there the other day so, uh, thanks, Obama.

Yea, Took down a couple gyms earlier and walked just outside the ring and my victory gave me nothing.

 

[LuffyZoro]

Vaporeon is still the best eeveelution tho, right?

 

[Lukemon]

I think Flareon might be better for attacking now, but Vape still wins on defense.

 

[taizuke]

Need a portable charger for my Samsung Galaxy Tab S on Amazon. Any good recommendations?

 

[Svafnir]

Looks like cross chop is now the strongest ability. Also almost all the new special moves are better than regular attacks now.

This is what I've been using for about a year and works great.

Looks like there are some higher capacity options for around the same price point but I don't know if any of the other brands are reliable or not.

 

[AdanVC]

The little animations each Pokémon has when you see their stats are top notch. So fluid and cute.

 

[BlueSilver]

So, my Lapras with Ice Breath and Ice Beam isn't as good? =( And I just dumped all of my stardust into it yesterday, too. =(

 

[zroid]

You mean when you tap on their model? I only noticed that a new days ago, was a nice surprise

 

[jasminlovesyoux]

Pretty much everything has been equalized in terms of DPS and damage. It's all about that type advantage now! As it should be.
