Pokémon Go |OT| As in "Go Outside"

Is it better to evolve immediately or level first?
 
evolution animation is terrible lol

*zoom in on pokemons butt*

*pokemon awkwardly begins to levitate while clipping in and out of white blob, still zoomed intently on pokemon butt*

Your Pokemon evolved!

*awkwardly floats slightly off screen*

It looked like a digievolution instead lol.

Just needed some sweet Brave Heart in the background.
 
This bad boy was at Starbucks a town over.
Glad I had raspberries as that capture circle was dark red.

I have a Zubat near me (3 footprints) but can't find it.... so I threw one of these smoke things, but nothing happens... am I doing something wrong?
 
Funny, we just went to Best Buy earlier today to get my friend a portable charger. I think I might try to get one off Amazon today too...

I actually ordered the lipstick-size one yesterday and got 1 day free shipping with Prime. Might be Prime Day related? Gonna have to put it to the test another day.

Are starters rare? The only Pokemon I seem to find round my house are Bulbasaur, Rattata, and Eevee.

The starters seem to be fairly uncommon to encounter at the very least. However, there's a chance to hatch any of them out of the 2km eggs. However, a lot of the most common Pokemon hatch from these eggs too. I did manage to get a Pikachu through hatching an egg though, so there's a chance.
 
So how does Incense work in this?
Does using it automatically let me encounter Pokémon, or would I still have to walk around a bunch?
Does it bring in Pokémon that usually aren't in the area?

walk in the direction of the nearest leaves rustling, youll notice the footprints go from 3 to 2 to 1... once its at 1 or 0 footprints... run around frantically in circles! the incense should bring it out...

Once its at 0 footprints tap the Pokemon in the tracker and it should show up near you

I'm wondering the same. Pokemon logic tells me to level them when they're at a lower evolution and then evolve but I just don't know because this game isn't exactly like main line pokemon

It basically force spawns a Pokemon at your location every 5 minutes or so. Doesn't draw nearby Pokemon closer. So far I haven't seen it bring in anything terribly unusual.

I think incense is random stuff. Not guaranteed to be stuff around you. I get things that are not even in my nearby list when I use it.

From what I have heard there isn't any reason to power up then evolve.

The CP level carries (the semi circle around) over to the evolved version so closer to cap the better, but I don't think it's any cheaper to power up the basic than it is the evolved form.
 
Nintendo are turning humans into dogs, complete with marking their territory.

Also, they should release a single Mew into the game and give it to the Dalai Lama.
 
So, since Pikachu, Clefairy, Jigglypuff, Jynx, Magmar, and Eectabuzz can hatch from Eggs... What's gonna happen when Gen 2 Pokemon get added and they get their pre-evolutions? Weird.
 
Have people been having trouble with gyms.

It has been super annoying I will battle and then it just lags out and both sides keep attacking with no victory sign and the timer just runs out. I have to restart the game and if I try to engage the gym again it will act like it is starting and say "GO!" and then go back to the gym defenders screen.

I haven't had any other connection issues except for with the gyms.
 
Almost two hours on my bike and nothing showing up unless I use incense. Am I missing something here? Found a few stops and a gym at least.

thanks guys, that's good to know... I thought that was exactly what It would do.
 
Walked all around town and got nothing. Even used a lure at a park and only pidgeys/rattata. :\ Went to attack a gym and servers died mid battle.

At least I got a Rhyhorn from an egg I guess.
 
Everyone in my town is using big ass psychic pokemon since they're everywhere some reason. What's a good psychic killing pokemon?
 
There should definitely be some more of a reward to holding a gym or something... Like notification of how many gyms a controlled by your faction in the area...

Theres really not much incentive to controlling a gym. After two hardcore days of playing the charm is wearing off and the only thing that is keeping me going is to capture all 151.
 
Went to grab a weedle outside because it said it was there, and nothing : / How close to a radiating circle thing do you have to be for a Pokemon to pop up?

If it's anything like ingress there will be something like that.

Also you get daily rewards for having a gym captured, so there's that.
