I think you well over-estimate how much of the userbase would care if they hired this one specific person. If he's qualified and right for the job, great, but hiring him just because of Pokevision won't be any meaningful PR beyond some of the more dedicated message boards.
You dont need highlevel to do gyms, your 1000cp pokemon can kill 2000cp pokemons easy etc.
I don't understand.
Meanwhile, I hatched my third goddamn Electabuzz. All with Low Kick.
What don't you understand? The eggs are just totally random. Got the Charmander from a 2km egg to boot.
Yes. As soon as you receive them. No point in waiting.
I'm probavly gonna hatch 4 more eggs today.
Not really random. Charmanders are supposed to come from 2KM eggs.

Nope, not an accident. He clarifies in a reply that it was indeed a 1k egg: the first he's ever seen. When he incubated it and it hatched, it was Ditto.
Yeah I know there's specific Pokemon for each km egg. I just meant it's "random" within that group of Pokemon.
How it's possible to catch Snorlax in the wild. All the rare pokemon have an idiotic encounter rate. Not that I'm complaining. Just baffled that you seem to catch rare pokemon every day. :lol

Looking at his other gym videos it seems legit. One vid placing it there, one battling it. 1km egg... time to hit the pokestops!
EDIT: Ah, it's probably someone arsing around with skin changes?
Isn't this like the first time? Although I don't know what is considered rare? That said, I only have like 60 different Pokemon.
A Charmeleon just popped up on my radar. I feel like this game is rewarding me today for all the money I have thrown its way lol.

I'd love to have some places to walk around here that had stops. I try to walk my dog daily and it's a barren wasteland out there aside from a rare pidgey or something.
I was getting that! A Kabuto would disappear every time I pressed on it. It was happening to my partner too.

That's pretty much all I'm doing at the moment. Hatching eggs and only using my pokeballs to catch stuff I don't have yet in my poke dex. It's not like I can really accumulate a whole of from stops so I try to save what I got for now. Not about to throw down any money on this game.
At least I only need one more candy to evolve to my Nidoking today!
Heard about this a bit earlier. This is an excellent thing.
Don't die.
Check Reddit or his twitter, Pokemon Go community IS behind him.
You might not notice it here on Gaf because we're a smaller Pokemon GO community.
Don't worry about it, it probably despawned 20 mins before that screenshotI never used pokevision.. living in a city it's better just to walk around and see what pops up.
But Fuuuuu !!

Surprising and welcome. I hope they implement an improved tracking feature soon. I'm holding off on updating the game for the moment.

You know what would be handy, a map with all the Pokestops...will go to the nearby airport this evening cause i got to get my sis-in-law, and would like to know if there are any Pokéstops...

The game uses the same location info as Ingress so if you log in here https://www.ingress.com/intel and go to the location, all of the points on the map will either be pokestops or gyms.
This morning on my way to work I got 5 Eevees, Nidoran (F, first time encountering one), Psyduck, Krabby, Machop (also first time finding one in the wild)...I only found 1 Zubat, 3 Pidgeys and 2 Rattatas, while usually they are 90% of what I see on my way to work. Hope they did something to the spawn rate and it stays this way

4 weeks later, the entire team has been too busy working on the game to communicate with the players, yet there's nothing to show for these 4 weeks of work, as the game is worse off than it was at launch.
Communication's neat, and acknowledging these various complaints is great. But this seems to be coming up very shortly after everybody started filing complaints against them for breaking the rules established on the Google Play Store, along with mass refunds.
This also isn't nearly the type of post I was hoping to see from them. What do they plan to replace the nearby feature with? Why are they lying to us and not just leaving it in the game until the new feature is ready like literally every other developer would do?
https://github.com/mchristopher/PokemonGo-DesktopMap/releases
https://github.com/BrianEstrada/PokeScanner/releases
Both of those show Gyms and Pokestops.

You know the feature already wasn't working, right? It seems likely (though they didn't confirm either way) that the feature was originally shut off due to server load.
I'm not that happy with the post either--I would've liked to see them address many of the theories going around about the latest patch, like the potential changes in catch rates and pokemon aggression, and I would've like to see them confirm why the "nearby" feature stopped working in the first place. But I don't know that I'd go as far as to say they're lying about anything at this stage, considering that they're barely talking to us as it is.

They definitely adjusted break-out rates recently. The past two days I haven't caught anything because I refuse to waste pokeballs on trash sub 100 cp mobs that have no right to break out of multiple pokeballs.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
That's cause egg hatching is the one thing in Poke Go that is about the journey vs the destination.
It's no surprise that is the main thing you are doing now.
Picture I found online, but I think you should be fine.
I feel like a peasant in my little town >.>...

Probably going to put this down for awhile or at least just stock up on supplies till more updates hit. I've loved the game so far even after issues with tracking but the increased flee rate/break free rate has pushed me over the edge. Not fun for the moment. Hope they fix it soon.

So it's not a lie that they removed the feature last patch due to them wanting to replace it with something that meets their underlying product goals?
If that was their intention all along, then why didn't they say so when they broke the feature 2 weeks ago? If they broke it 2 weeks ago to reduce server load, then it's a lie that they broke it in order to meet their underlying product goals like they just said.

I managed to hatch a Tauros this morning and finally caught a Growlithe. Been looking for one of those. Hopefully I can knock out these two 2k eggs later and hopefully get at least one starter.
