They've definitely upped the region specific Pokemon spawns, at least here in the UK. I've seen so many more Mr. Mimes pop up here in Sheffield since yesterday than ever before.

Does anyone know how to change the password of a PTC?

Look at a clock when you activate it. It should have reset in 5 minutes.
There's quite a lot of them in Canada
what in the hell are you feeding your pokemon.
my 350 pidgy ended up being around 1200.
and my 150 caterpie ended up being like a 600 butterfree
I don't remember the exact numbers but neither are even close to yours.
evolution calculator lines up with me

Maybe upping the spawns means they are going to end the exclusivity soon and want everyone in those regions to get one before they do.
Yeah I know, it's just I have some 4 or 5 stops around my office (can hit them just taking a 5min break to the nearby 7-11 and back) so it's hard to remember exactly when I hit which!

I too believe Niantic screwed with the capture rates on evolution fodder Pokemon to combat people from leveling up to quickly. It makes sense that they would do it.

But why would they even care if people grind and level quickly? Levelling after 20 is kinda pointless now anyway. At least until they make the gyms more meaningful and you can battle wild Pokemon to train your own.
because filling the pokedex is only a goal for some?
the most common drop off point is likely around level 20.
i had to use 10 pokeballs to catch a rattata today. ten.
is this a known bug or just a soft ban?

And that's an ongoing goal, because I'm sure a lot are close to filling the current Pokedex right now. But let's not forget, there's still over 700 more Pokemon to add to the game, so even if you fill it now, it's not really full.
Niantic really needs to do something to keep the game interesting like quickly. The 3DS software deluge starts in less than a month, and then with the colder weather coming, it all adds up to player activity taking a severe nosedive because people are bored with 4 pidgeys and 3 rattatas spawning every place they go.

I don't know, it's all too anecdotal. After the infamous update (the penultimate one), I experienced a huge increase of flee/breaks rate even on uncommon/not that great for mass-evolving Pokémon like Koffing, Meowth, Zubat, Bellsprout etc. etc.
Is pokemon nearby some kind of a poke map? Can someone link me to it?

Someone got my accout last week and I was able to retrieve it by going to the ptc site and saying I forgot my password. They sent an email to my adress with a link to reset it. Try that?

The game is too complicated for me. I stopped playing but my son keeps asking me which pokemons to evolve and stuff..
simple question, should I evolve the ones that are higher in the CP curve or lower? I hope there's a simple answer to that

This is totally dependent on where you live. There is no way anyone from my area would hold a gym for days on end. It's far too easy to take them back.
The longest I've ever held a Gym is six hours. The longest I've seen a gym held by my house is a day. One time, during the middle of the day on a weekday I stopped in a parking lot to take this gym. I had to get out of my car to get in range to battle. By the time I got back to my car from taking it someone had already taken the Gym for themselves.
Banking on Gyms to give you Stardust at level 20 is a terrible idea if you live anywhere where this game is still actively played. Literally everyone I've played this game with just collects their 500 Stardust and 10 coins as soon as they take over a Gym because trying to stretch your Gym run into days is just going to lead to your Pokemon getting knocked out and you getting nothing.

In general, higher - this means you will have to use less stardust and candies to get that mon to a higher CP.
(This is assuming you/your son doesn't particularly care about IVs)

Wait what Gyarados cannot spawn with Dragon Breath from now on? My Gyarados is pretty exclusive now
My Gyrados is evolved from a Magikarp, but it has Dragon Breath. Is that good then?
Well if this news is true, you also have a pretty exclusive Gyarados. Dragon Breath is a pretty solid move on Gyarados I guess, since you can counter Dragonite with it. But does your Gyarados also have Hydro Pump?

Mine has both thankfully!

Nice! Keep it
No, unfortunately, he has twister
Twister isn't that good sorry
I'm pretty annoyed by the Gyarados change. I'm kicking myself for not having evolved my Magikarp just one day earlier - I was waiting to catch a few more Pokemon to start doing a Lucky Egg spree (how was I supposed to know this was going to happen?). As it is, now I'm stuck with a fairly useless Gyarados. I hope we can change or re-roll moves at some point, even if it comes at the cost of resources.

Yeah, I know. I wasn't too happy when I finally got 400 candies and evolved my 130 Magikarp and saw Twister.

Another Grimer spawned in my area and of course I can't catch it.
Damn this phone.
Edit: and yet another Grimer. This game hates me.

I know how you feel. It feels pretty wretched when you slowly collect that many candies, only to be let down at the very last second by a bad roll of the dice and have to start all over again. Oy.
Oh, guess that makes my 95% Gyarados with Dragon Breath / Hydro Pump pretty rare now then.
Though, I wonder why they removed it.
No idea. But I guess it's fair that Gyarados' who already had Dragon Breath get to keep it. The thought of Niantic replacing moves at will... save me.
And how is that fair? To some people have something that is not possible for others anymore.

Wait, so it's not just wild Gyarados, but you can't get Dragon Breath on an evolved Gyrados either?
One of my local gyms has six Dragonites from lvl. 34 players. It's been there for weeks unchallenged. Every other gym gets taken within an hour yeah.
That's correct. No more chances at Dragon Breath Gyarados, unless Niantic changes it back again.

There's this gated community at the end of my street that I cannot access, and almost every time there is a rarer Pokémon that shows up, it spawns at the very back of the gated community where I can't access it. Always in the exact same spot. D:
Edit: Grr... a Machoke just showed up there 😠
Edit: Grr... a Machoke just showed up there 😠
There's a whole host of social commentary waiting to happen in this post.
All it does is punish anyone who didn't get to the higher levels already though.
I mean the damage has already been done...
I agree with this, but this is entirely in line with the sort of changes they consistently make
Hell look at the recent gyrados changes. they literally fucked anyone who doesn't already have a gyrados with that move set
Again, punishing people who haven't sunk in the same amount of time as others
