Pokémon Go |OT| As in "Go Outside"

Catching magikarp at the Capitol earlier seemed...apt.
 
Lmao so I'm chilling at a shopping center with some dudes and we see 3 securities running after a girl who had stolen merchandise. She ends up dropping the stuff and they pick up the merch and come join us. They try and take over the gym but team blue too stronk.
 
I haven't seen any news from JP players? Is the game not available in Japan? Did Nintendo block them too? :lol

Not out in Japan or Europe yet. Europeans can at least tinker and get it working all fine, but in Japan there is no map data so all you can do there is catch the starter.
 
You...can choose which evolution of Eevee to get, right?
No.

We need like an FAQ or something for these questions.

-Niantic has said they plan to add trading
-You can't choose your Eeveelution
-Only the first 151 Pokémon are included so far, but there does not appear to be any way to catch Ditto, Mew, Mewtwo, or the legendary birds
-You can disable AR during battles so you don't look like a creep (see the switch at the top right when you are in a Pokémon encounter). This also saves some battery and makes Pokémon easier to catch
-Yes Pikachu is really a starter option
-The footsteps next to Pokemon silhouettes indicate relative distance
-Spin the image disc to make items drop from pokéstops
-Many Pokémon have a chance to spawn anywhere, but their chance to appear is variable depending on environment (i.e. water Pokémon appear more often near water)
-You get to pick your team if you tap a gym after you reach trainer level 5; you do not need to be in range of the gym
-You cannot recover pokéballs that miss the target
-Yes Team Mystic is the superior team #SuperiorTeamMystic
-There is a bug where gym monsters get stuck on 1hp and you cannot defeat them, this can be remedied somewhat by not spamming taps, but there is still a chance it will happen to you (yes, we all know it sucks)
-If your Pokémon do not show up when the game loads, they haven't disappeared, but data may not be loading from the server
-Pay attention to the size of the color ring around Pokémon, the smaller it is the easier they will be to catch
-Pay attention to the color of the ring: green is easy, yellow is moderate, red is hard
-Yeah Magikarp actually requires 400 candies to evolve your eyes aren't playing tricks on you
-No one seems to agree on how exactly stats are influenced by height or weight or how max CP is decided so right now your guess is as good as anyone's (this includes whether or not it is best to power up or evolve first)
-Max CP for all your captured Pokémon is raised with your trainer level
-The game does not track steps toward egg hatching if the screen is off or the app is in background
-The game will not deliver notifications for nearby pokéstops, gyms, or Pokémon if the screen is off or the app is in background
-If you're moving too fast (i.e. Driving), you will not be able to add steps toward egg incubation (although you will inexplicably be able to do everything else)
-Moving grass may not always reveal a Pokémon
-Random encounters may occur without moving grass, even if you remain still
-Again, yes, Team Mystic is the best team
#TeamMysticIsTeamBest
 
Everyone in this damn town has a high level Hypno, which really sucks cause I have yet to find any good hypno killers. Paras is closest I've gotton but it's a little rare around here so leveling it is going to be tough compared to Hypno.
 
I'm extremely surprised at how many are already playing the game just in my tiny town in Denmark. The game isn't even out yet! Yet there are already stacked gyms with 3+ Pokemon guarding them
 
I was able to register. I was inputting my son's birthday information and since he is only 7 years old it only gave me the option of using a PTC account.
 
Has anyone figured out if the 1HP bug can be avoided, or is it a server-side thing we can't do anything about?

Here

DONT SPAM THE APP BY TAPPING A MILLION TIMES. In beta, there was a huge bug where if you tapped a bunch of times without letting the app catch up, the opponent’s Pokemon would get stuck at 1 hp and keep attacking all of your Pokemon. Honestly, just wait until the animation is close to finished before tapping again and you should be fine and still do the same amount of damage.

OMG Niantic just make everything work like the speed limit for incubating eggs -- a soft lockout after moving at high speed.
 
Well I guess some people were wrong when they made fun of that Pokemon Go trailer that showed people interacting socially.

Can't blame them of course but it's funny in hindsight.
 
Drove around and managed to catch Tauros, Jynx, Magmar, Ekans, and Horsea, all of which I have not been able to catch. Also hatched a Cubone and evolved my Meowth! All in all, a pretty good day for Pokemon Go.
 
Told her about it, but she didn't want to spend the money lol

I think at this point the folks are keeping it lured all by themselves, though!

Ah right to get free coins you either need to get a gym or install the google survey app that other were talking sorry I forgot about that.
 
Went out to get lunch with my folks and afterwards spot two guys just loitering in the parking lot looking at their phones, tell my mom I figure they're playing it. My parents take off and I start fiddling with my phone trying to find anything, catch one and they walk up to me and ask "You get the Clefable?" This game I swear. Gonna get us to a utopia or a pod people like future. Either way I'm good :p

Yup, I'm Neogafs isn't the center of gaming attention so game like this have a chance to live :) Make remember Tomodachi Life.
 
Just caught one and was l like, "well this isn't happening for some time". Only to see a gym down the street with a Gyarados already... I was in total disbelief.

This app is unreal so far. I just spent the last two days with the wife cruising to different pokestops and gyms around town. The best part is seeing locations (like a cemetery) that are normally deserted, now filled with dozens of people just in search of items and lures. It's a surreal experience hanging out at a grave catching Pokemon and hanging out with people you've never met and damn is it awesome.

Loving the experience so far... Other than the 1HP glitch. :(

How long until companies start paying Nintendo to make their location a gym?
 
This game is definitely bringing out groups of people. It's like the playground when the games and cards first came out all over again. I hope they are able to integrate and pvp battle system soon.
 
My app crashes a lot. I saw lots of people outside playing but it hangs and often it crashes to a black screen with the Pokemon Go logo. I saw lots of other people rebooting too, lol.

Oh it's all good. About to see her in a few so I'll tell her about the google survey app too. Might change her mind. She's into the whole survey taking and couponing thing, so it should be right up her alley. Thanks!
 
im so tired of losing gym battles because all the ones close to me are in areas with spotty service, and if you get disconnected the game wont let you deliever the final blow

You sure this isn't just battery saver mode? It activates when you put the phone in your pocket upside down.
 
Waiting for my phone to charge before I can go back out is killing me. I idly checked the app and saw an Electabuzz and a Squirtle nearby and briefly went out to hunt for them, but the app drained my battery and I had to go back home.
