I'm on fine in wisconsin.
Not down for me in Germany.
Same thing happened to me but with a venusaur. Feels bad man.

Well. Where I live, it fits. Pretty much nothing but normal/grass types and occasional water types near bodies of water.
Maybe the game has some universal spots ? I haven't seen any fire types yet, except for the occasional magmar on a gym, and I'm level 16.
Anyhow, We do know that the game differentiates. It's just a question of wether it differentiates like the list suggests, or differently.
I went for a run yesterday.
I wouldn't if there wasn't this game.
I''ve met many news people sitting around lure places.
I don't know if there is definitively a way, for me it's just from 2 weeks of observation. There's a spawn right on my house (thankfully), one or two right next to each other at the end of the block, and another about 2 1/2 blocks down from me.
In practice there are certainly more than that around my neighborhood, but probably something like 90% of the Pokemon I've caught around here have been from those 3 spots.

I live literally across a single street from my campus, and there's everything. I'd like to imagine that the game discriminates based on terrain, but I've caught like 90 of the 150 so far and I really don't have a lot of time to play (max 30-40 minutes a day when I walk my doge.)
I did find a Staryu and Horsea near a river, FWIW.
even with this game I wouldn't go for a run.
I am going for extra walks as I would have never went out in 88 degree heat by choice if i didn't need pokeballs

I've biked 70 miles in the past two weeks. Super worth it.
That said, an average weekend ride for me is 30 miles.

It does. Maybe your campus is considered a bit of everything ?
After it rains, there are more water types, when you go near bodies of water, there are water types, when I walk around in my city I only get grass/normal types, occasionaly fairy or ghastly at night
I'm level 16 and only have like 36 out of the 151 btw
It's supposed to say caught x Magikarp over a certain weight.

How are you guys doing with starters? My location in NYC has boatloads of Bulbasaur, Squirtle are rarer but not too bad, and I haven't even seen a single Charmander. What the hell man.
My workplace has become a gym and even though I´m inside of it the game says the gym is too far :S
Anyway, nice having a gym with a pokestop right next to it.
Should I evolve Pokemons or power up the evolved versions I caught? Or should I just wait until I´m higher level (currently level 6)?

It doesn't, but I'm not gonna waste Stardust powering up Pokémon to that sort of level when I can wait until I catch or hatch one already at that level.

Have 2 squirtles. Have yet to even see an outline of any of the others
There's a gym in my town inside of a mall, where the GPS on my phone goes haywire. There are 3 pokestops in there too so it sucks. It also means it's hard to get the gym. When you're right outside, the gps puts you across the road. When you go inside it looses the gps signal. Damnit
i have seen the outline of squirtle once, bulbasaur once, pikachu once, and never actually had any of them pop yet.
If my math is right I've caught 5 Squirtle (and seen plenty more on radar), 2 Charmander, and 1 Bulbasaur in the wild. I'm out in the burbs (borderline rural) where there's more lakes and rivers though so the more common Squirtle makes sense. I would have thought Bulbasaur would be common-ish around here too with all the wooded areas but I guess not.
This seems like a lot of conjecture. I still think the best way to find where to catch stuff is a heatmap of where people have caught different Pokémon. All the maps I've seen just puts a pin for each siting, which doesn't really work because the higher evolutions and rare base Pokémon seem to show up at random rather than having a place they're commonly found.

I get tons of Growlithes over here, but no grass types.

Anyone have tips to catcing Zubat and Golbat?
And why does a Razz Berry alter the course of thrown balls?

I have to say I'm not impressed with the game seeing as how Nintendo won't even let me access my Trainer Account! Couldn't remember my Username so they emailed it to me, ok. Logged in with the password I recalled using and I got an error. "Ok, I'll just update my password, password successfully updated. Password incorrect error again. Try to reset it again, I have to wait an unspecified amount of time to request a password reset and speak with customer service.
Nintendo, get your shit together with your crappy online services!

I took my first gym today! One nearby had only one relatively weak Pokemon guarding it, which never happens, so I grabbed the gym and immediately cashed in the bonus because there was no way I was taking any other gyms. And I didn't have anything good to leave in it, so it was lost within ten minutes.
Also I'm jealous of all you people with spawn points in range while you're just at home. D:<

I'm in AD, logged in fine. Found a jolteon earlier too
Dragonair is rare af, I'd be out the door in a heartbeat. At least Psyducks can be gotten from 5km eggs.

If they couldn't do that, there would be extremely little turnover and most people would literally never get a chance to be in a gym.
FYI, Nintendo has nothing to do with this game's online services or Pokémon Trainer accounts.

Game, stop playing with my emotions!
I'm coming home from work, 2:30 am in the morning, and I leave PoGo open. When I get in the garage I check the footsteps and see the following 3 shadows.
Vaporeon, Snorlax, Gloom
I take the car out for a drive in the middle of the night looking around the neighborhood for said pokemon. And I wasn't the only one looking around, saw many vehicles driving slow in the neighborhood. Sadly I wasn't able to track them down.

It shouldn't, did you download a seperate .APK? If so delete it right away!
Nope, got it from the play store.
Every near Pokemon has three paws for me since the last few days, when I started playing last week there were 1 and 2 paws in some of them
It's the same for everyone. Niantic needs to get on it and fix it, as you can't track pokemon properly.
It looks bugged because actually the requirement is to capture big magikarps (I assume XL). The same is for the Rattata medal, but in that case it's small rattatas (Probably XS)
Yeah, it's not stated clearly enough in the medal

So, when the tracking was working, was it fairly easy to pinpoint things? I've seen a few silhouettes I would have liked to go after.
No, it still required a degree of triangulation since it was not so sensitive and anything over 2 prints was a crapshoot.
At the moment the only thing you can really do is spiral out, which isn't always feasible, and use the relative positions of the 'mons in the list to track anything down. Also, I can't be too sure of this but it feels like Pokemon just tend to congregate at Pokestops, even sans lures.

no, it was super hard and on a tough time limit, the nearby pokemon change like every 10 or 15 minutes
pvp, trading etc. is all nice, but my most wanted feature would be an actually usable tracking

In addition to the tracking being broken, does anybody else notice that the nearby Pokemon lists varies person to person? My list and my gf's list are never exactly the same. We will have some of the same Pokemon on both our lists, but there will always be different ones as well. The Pokemon that we both have are never in the same order either. Sometime they completey leave her list but still be on mine. It's weird.
Sometime the list doesn't update. You have to force stop it then turn it back on, it will give you a new list.
nah, anything beyond one paw was a pain, two was doable but still a pain, three came basically down to luck.
also I have had a squirtle taunting me for the last 30 minutes on my radar. I am not heading outside on a crap shoot so I am hoping it wanders into my home. no luck so far.

The official one from the play store very much asks for access to your contacts. I can only assume there will be some functionality added later in which you can use your contact list.
