I ordered it off Amazon and supposedly it's coming sunday... sure
I bought it really because of the bebefit kf being able to play while driving. living in LA I'm in my car so much...imagine all the pokestops I can hit
Amazon has Sunday delivery with prime now so I don't see why that will be out of the question.

I think it's more because some people who pre-ordered haven't had their ship yet.

Should I evolve my 100% shellder that is level 11 or my 84% 14/9/15 level 24 shellder? I don't have any extra candy.
I also evolved a nidoking with fury cutter and earthquake. Does it have any hope of living a normal life?
Trainer level 25.

yeah this. amazon can't even fulfill orders from people that ordered it a month ago so I don't think they can get me one if I just ordered today.

I would evolve the level 24 Shellder and treat the 100% one as a long term project unless you already have a good ice attacker.
As far as Nidoking goes, even an "ideal" one isn't terribly useful, basically just being an EQ machine for those without a better option, so in that respect, it will have a totally normal life.
So hold on. Suddenly the Plus DOES track steps and you CAN catch Pokémon that weren't in your Pokédex before? Why is it so hard for Niantic to communicate what this piece if plastic can do? Great. I bet it will be available again at Christmas or something. It's sold out and people try to sell it used for 70.

...hate me...
What do you guys mean about Go+ working in the car? If it counts kms regardless of speed that would seriously break the game.
I was thinking about getting the Go+ but I have an Apple Watch, so when I saw they were making an Apple Watch app I thought it would be a waste of money to get a Go+ as well. But boy it sure is hard to wait :/

The Go+ has a ping interval of a few seconds. Because the range of Pokestops is smaller than the range of wild Pokemon, if you're in transit it really is random whether the device will pick up stops for you to activate. And then you have to hope there's no Pokemon nearby because it will prioritize the Pokemon. At least wild Pokemon have a reasonably big range.
So for places that you know are packed with Stops it's better to just use the phone? Ok, I could live with that.

It's too early to establish that, I mean, we don't even know the Go+ catch rate yet. But I think it's safe to assume that the flee rate drastically increases if you are traveling at high speed.
And yeah, the distance counter is amazing with it.
I think it's just a flat rate honestly which is affected by whether the Pokemon is green, yellow, orange or red.
Also contrary to what I said earlier, eggs do hatch automatically.
That means it failed to connect to your phone. I think. I just eject the plus and turn the bluetooth off/on to reconnect.
I've noticed that it sometimes disconnects if I manually click on a different Pokemon when it's actively pointing to another as well. Maybe a bug?
Also, for me. The dump app after a few hours will tend to get confused and get stuck on refreshing and never finishes and I'm forced to restart the app. That's when it also tends to lose connection too. But this is on the app being dumb, not the +.

I thought that it should immediately disconnects if you manually touch one pokemon on the map in order to catch it or if you fight a gym.
After 35 buddy candies later, Golem is mine! Wish the move set was better. Ironically I hatched a Geodude and like 8 candies right after lol.
Oh, it's suppose to do that? I thought it was a bug. lol.

It seems so. Everyone is talking about it and they all said that the migration will happen between yesterday and sometime today. Hoping for the best.
Apparently yes. I knew about 3 parks that were Oddish, Horsea and Seal nests, now none of them show their respective Pokémon anymore, in fact one became a Staryu nest and the other one became a Horsea nest lol, but the one that was an Oddish nest, I don't think it is a nest of any Pokémon anymore.

I hope my Seel nest doesn't change yet as I still don't have Dewgong.
Well unless they turn it into a Charmander or Gastly nest. In that case go on.
My hometown has been spawning better pokemon this weekend as well. These past two days there have been more Charmander, Vulpix, Gastly and Squirtle. I've also seen Poliwrath, Rhydon, Starmie, Slowbro and even a Dragonite.

So what's the consensus on Go+ so far?
Do the positives outweigh the negatives?
FInally got my shipping update from Amazon, will arrive Wednesday, so still plenty of time to cancel it...

i havnt seen anything change its still the same old same old
used my plus at work today. noticed a few odd things with it.
if you are just using it for distance checking not only do you need to open the app every 60-90 minutes, but you have to reset the app in order to be able to connect again.
once it reaches this state the game gets messed up in general. during the restart of the app I would typically gain about .5km to my eggs and I wasn't running before hand so there is some sort of back log of data going on.

I got my plus last night and I have no idea how to connect it. It doesn't show up under Available Devices in the app. And the guide is no help.
Is your Bluetooth on? Mine worked instantly.
The Broken Ska Record
Member
Yup. I even turned it off and on again. Even restarted my phone.
Is your device supported? Does it use low-energy Bluetooth?
Obscuritas

I really hope that they don't fix it, cause something is definitely fishy with the distance counter.
The Broken Ska Record

It is. It's an iPhone 5s. I got it working out of nowhere somehow. I just held the button down longer and I got the app to recognize it.
Seriously, this thing needs a bit more documentation.
I wish they would do something for us owners though. This could be it. Hey, you paid $40 for this, now you can hatch eggs whenever. That would be cool.
Go walk then!
It actually gives you KM until you hit 50 MPH. So work them eggs!
I just got my Cloyster! Walking my Pikachu now for 27km to get enough candies. :> Probably gonna try getting a Dewgong and Exeggutor or Victreebell next, before trying to get any starter evolutions.

Just evolved my Magikarp and got my first Gyarados ever... and it got Twister.
Fuck. This.
Fuck. This.
I love my walks, but 300 km is a lot. Would be neat if we could have multiple buddies or an item that multiplies the candies collected.

Ran 4 miles today, confirmed on map tracker and my garmin. Eggs only registered 3k ugh. I love that trail but not at the cost of leveling up my Grimer.

I'm pretty much done with this game for a while.
If it wasn't for the Snorlax, my mass egg hatching would have been a total disaster. I hatched eight eggs at once: 4 of them were 10km eggs and the others were 5km.
I hatched Poliwag, Ekans, Drowzee, and Gastly for goodness sake! I don't mind some repeats, because my Exeggutor is amazing and it really needs more Exeggcute candy. However, these 5km hatches were probably the worst ones ever. I still don't have Diglett or Ponyta in my Pokedex at all, so those would have been OK. There are about six more 5km Pokemon that I've never hatched, and I only have caught one of them.
The 10km hatches were mostly depressing except for one. I got 2 Eevees, 1 Onix, and 1 Snorlax. The Snorlax has underwhelming IVs, but he has Zen Headbutt and Hyper Beam! I'm not going to complain, and I already have him up to 2178 CP. He is my strongest Pokemon now.
I was definitely hoping for some new Pokemon from the 10kms, and Lapras is definitely my most wanted. I'm all out of Incubators, and I really won't be spending time on Gyms anymore.
I'm hesitant to spend money on this game, because I might get screwed. I still have unfinished business, though. I haven't fully farmed my Abra nest, and I'm getting pretty close to Alakazam. I have tons of Pikachu and Squirtle candy, but I have not hatched or caught a wild version of these Pokemon with good stats. I'm also pretty close to getting Kabutops, because there is a Kabuto nest in town.
I got Vileplume, Magneton, and Weezing through evolution. The Weezing is total ass. It didn't have good IVs in the first place, and it learned Dark Pulse. Weezing wouldn't have been used, so Vileplume's moveset is much more important. Vileplume has Razor Leaf and Petal Blizzard, which is good enough for me. I have three really good Grass attackers to fight the water types. I don't care about Magneton that much, but it got Thunder Shock and Flash Cannon, which isn't bad.
That was a long post, but this was pretty much my last day of serious play until I either relocate or put money into it. These are my stats:
350 km walked
116 Seen/Caught
132 Eggs Hatched
2813 Pokemon obtained
4876 PokeStops visited
If I lived in a city, I would have already finished the entire Pokedex.
