I'm getting that message intermittently and when the message goes away, my guy kinda walks in place aimlessly or sometimes moving a little. This is while I'm sitting at my worktable and not moving. It also appears to be counting toward my eggs hatching.
Anyone else experiencing weird GPS issues today?
Guys try to re-download the app, it have fixed some little bugs fo me.

I'm in my parents car driving a long distance for vacation and decided to use an incense. Every single
Pokemon I found ran away after 1 ball. That was a waste...

Yeah don't bother trying to play if you're going fast on motorways. The system soft bans you from the game if you do (which is why they break free and run after one ball).
Yeah exactly this. I'm not complaining. Let those eggs hatch
Right.....so yeah now its teleported me to another planet after I just popped a lure module at the pokestop near work. FFS!

I miss being able to catch Pokemon in this game about catching Pokemon.
Maybe your doing something wrong? I caught 3 this morning and like 20+ yesterday (several new and good ones)
Really weird, i have noticed no change in catch rate on my end
I've noticed these guys are putting up a big fight now. A drowzee just now kept headbutting my pokeballs away the slag.
Agreed on that, they move around much more, have to time my throws more accurately now
I have to say that after the update I'm finding more differnt pokèmon in the same area, and it's a good thing because I live not in a rural area, but also not in a big city, so before i found only rattata, pidgey and doduo... now i find also some squirle, bulbasaur, nidoran... i also saw a magmar shadow but with all the broken system i couldn't figure out where it could be...
Same type and amount of Pokemon's both at home and now at work. Taking a quick glimpse at the Pokemon go map, nothing looks different. Lol at lower tier Pokemon's running away after one ball and that one pidgey I spent 10 great balls. But I don't mind since I'm catching higher cp/tier Pokemon's with just one regular pokeball lol.
Oh and apparently everyone has a dragonite,snorlax,arcanine now in my area even though dratini/growlithe are very rare...

Git a new cliche.

Does Snorlax only show up at night? He's been my most sought after Pokemon and I checked my game around midnight and I saw his shadow. It was too late to go running outside in circles at that hour, but I was tempted for a second. I would have left if this game had a working tracking feature.
Just take photos of them instead. Pretend you're playing Pokemon Snap!
And when you're seeing the same three Pokemon over and over, pretend you're grinding the stage for better photos, just like on the N64!

Yeah all my gyms are full of these now and they are rare around here
Reddit likes to think they represent everyone, but they don't.
That's cute, none thanked me yet for that >.>
Like Gaffers too, you know. ¯\_(ツ

Reddit is a horrible barometer for anything.
Hivemind due to the upvote/downvote system and not a place for discussion but rather just to shout a statement then walk away.
I mean, even huge subreddits like the League of Legends subreddit have used the fact that their user count has been dropping to show that the population of that game is dying, when in fact the game population is growing.
So, yeah, using Reddit (and even GAF) as a metric for the population at large is not the best idea.

So I've tried to catch a couple of weedles today and after every first pokeball it runs.
It's weedle.
It's weedle.
go onLike Gaffers too, you know. ¯_(ツ

I just had a CP 40 weedle break out of five pokeballs and then run. It's amazing...in the worst way.
Ever since the latest update I constantly get it
new Twitter profile right there.
People on Android, the old version still works. Uninstall the latest version, search for the 0.29.3 apk, and install that. I had a much better walk this afternoon thanks to reverting to that rather than wandering around having every other Pidgey run away on me.
I'd also like some advice. I'm Level 18. I just caught a Charmander that Pokéadvisor tells me has perfect IVs. 15, 15, 15. It's CP 186, which apparently is a level 7 mon. What should I do with it? Power up as a Charmander, then evolve? Evolve, then power up? How hard will it be to make this a strong pokémon because of it's low level/CP?

Ok, this corner of central park has a statue.
That's basically Pokemon Mecca in New York. It has a cluster of Pokestops near each other that have lures on them all evening and on weekends. As result, there are usually about 200+ people just camping there on evenings and weekends. You could walk miles through the city and get a bunch of pidgeys and zubats, then walk to this one spot and in seconds get Abra, Pikachu, Magikarp, etc.

I have a love/hate relationship with the more aggressive Pokemon now.
On the one hand, I hoped there would be additions where you'd have a to battle certain kinds of wild Pokemon (not always, but perhaps based on IV or something) in order to capture it. These new changes seem like that might be the end game eventually (This would hopefully mean a turn-based PvE experience).
On the other, more wasted pokeballs. :l

I'm still not having any more trouble catching pokemon than before the patch. Some of the Pokemon I've encountered have been lower CP than normal however. But I actually think that will be good for game balance. Should actually make stardust useful rather than just waiting to catch a stronger Poke.
lol calling bullshit on that. she said niantic gave it to her after she emailed them
Internet investigations have led most to believe that these are fake, but we're not sure how. Looks like a hack though. The person who first got one said that they got it from Niantic as an apology with an email letter, then later back tracked and said it was promotional and is refusing to show any proof at all.

Are we sure its not just due to distance? Whats the furthest youve ever walked from a wild pokemon? I need to try it but I suspect going too far from the pokemon may be the actual cause. Either way, its true that incensing in your car is a waste.
It's been reported to be based on speed now. Essentially, if you drive faster than 40 mph supposedly, they'll run away unlike before, so Niantic nerfed driving really :lol
