Pokémon Go |OT| As in "Go Outside"

I've seen Eevee, Fearow, Beedrill on my Nearby when I'm at home, but walking around the block a couple times usually just spawns me Zubats with the occasional Pidgey or Nidoran.

My neighboorhood is considered a cave I guess? Lmao.
I've seen literally one single Zubat since the game launched, and no Doduo. I'm not sure what the triggers are for those. I would have thought they were zoned to grasslands/residential areas.

Vast majority of my encounters are Pidgey, Rattata, or Weedle.

It's Weedles all the way down.

Which would be okay if Beedrill didn't suck. His max cp is like 300 at trainer level 10. My Jolteon is low 600s and still has room to grow.
 
Is there a small list of the original 150 that everyone is catching? Hoping they save the others for when the app is improved


..OMG I WANT TO FEED MY PKEMON AND PLAY WITH THEM AND BRING THEM OUT OF THEIR BALLS AND ONTO MY TABLE!!

Please tell me this game is getting those kinds of updates.

NYC has a ton of Doduos when it should be Pidgey's and Rattatas lol.

My local park seems to be a breeding pit for charmander tho.
 
To give an idea of my location, a lure was used at a nearby park and it only got 5 people there. Two of them were using one device. Seems low compared to other people's findings. Gonna be going to an area with much more stops tomorrow though
 
Fuck that 1 HP glitch. I could have been the owner of two gyms today if it weren't for that glitch.

I beat that Snorlax so bad that it stopped fight even though it was stuck with 1 hp.

Happened to me too against a Pinsir. He took out two Pokemon of mine before I realized it was screwed up.
 
Yep. Terrible bug.




Meh, if steps don't count when app is closed, then it shouldn't count down my incenses when I'm not directly in game :/

I dont think the game counts steps at all. It seems purely GPS based. Which is not so reliable. Steps would be a godsend
 
Are there any consequences to forcing the app closed during a glitched gym battle? Will your unused Pokémon retain their full health?

Wait...
I restocked on a few Pokeballs and got to train at a Gym so that I can assign my Snorlax there. All while being 106° outside.

Even better, someone recently trained at it to make the Prestige higher. Hopefully I'll earn enough Pokécoins before the Red Team decides to take over. They already have an immensely powerful Magmar at the other Gym of the neighborhood.
Is this coincidence?
But yes, this 1HP glitch sucks.
 
What's worse than the 1 HP Gym glitch is catching a rare pokemon, the game freezes while it's doing the three rattle thing, you need to restart the app and the Pokemon is gone when you restart.
 
I'm gonna be honest. I've never seen Team Instinct around, especially in my neighborhood. I think I've seen a Gym taken over by them many miles away from my home, but other than that...it's just been a raging battle between the other teams.
 
From what I gather from a variety of anecdotal sources is that steps work like this:

0 Steps = Spawn area
1 Step = 50m-100m (1-2 minutes walking)
2 Steps = 100m-150m (2-3 minutes walking)
3 Steps = 150m-300m (3-5 minutes walking)

As they get closer they show up nearer to the top of the list. A 3-step pokemon in third place is closer than a 3-step in sixth place.
Server errors can frequently cause your list to get stuck making tracking difficult. A pokemon tends to stay in an area for 15-20 minutes. Sometimes the list can blink, this means it is changing/updating in some way.

Also PROUD TEAM ZAPDOS.
There are dozens of us! Dozens!!
 
There should be some extra goodies when using the Trainer's Club on the official Pokemon website. But I guess their servers would be even more overwhelmed. :/
 
I have a couple of gyms in my neighborhood and the one closest to the entrance is Team Instinct. The strongest is 300+ CP Haunter. I've seen a red gym too. I haven't seen many blue gyms around my town.
 
Is there a way to reroll using the same google account? I feel like my ball throwing sucked early on.
 
There gonna deffinitely have to make some refinements, you shouldn't have to go through 30 something pokeballs on pokemon, the chance of it crashing is way to high. A high teir item that calls a specific pokemon into an area would be welcome.
 
I live in apartment complex in front of three pokestops, all of them with lures.. i just captured 3 pokemon sitting in front of my mac in the last 5 mins.. lol
