Pokémon Go |OT| As in "Go Outside"

The next rumor on how Eevee evolves. It says the gym color closest to you determines the evolution. So red Flareon, blue Vaporeon, yellow Jolteon. (I don't believe it.)
I can confirm that is rumor is 100% equally true to all other Eevee rumors so far
 
Chansey is one of the rarest, I think, so that's a nice find. I've had an Omanyte since lv.3, but that was the only one I saw. The others are mid-rare to common, I see Psyducks everywhere.

The fuck. I want to live where you live.

I want a Psyduck so bad, my favorite pokemon of all time.
 
Thought I'd share this anecdote that my brother-in-law posted this morning on Facebook.

Just spent fifteen minutes powering up a level 8 Instinct gym only for someone to literally drive by and put a shitty 250cp Piggeoto on it.
 
Does this work with both primary and secondary attacks?

Yes, the animation and the yellow flash are farther apart, just make sure to wait for the yellow flash.

How do i do my second move (the one that requires bars)

also, i haven't yet determined if dodging is best or just tapping like a maniac. I had good results at a gym by my house last night doing the madman tapping.

Fast attack is just a single tap on your avatar. Secondary attack is a press and hold on your avatar.

Do NOT tap like mad. This is what causes the 1 hp bug best I can tell. I always wait for my damage to register (enemy hp bar flashes and goes down) before attacking again. If you do the dodge/attack/wait, you'll likely never press to fast to get the bug.

I had this happen with a 300 Jynx. Then the guy had the gall to walk by and tell me "Gotta catch 'em all." Who does that shit?
 
So can people actually view the nicknames you've given to your pokémon while they're in a gym? Because a friend of mine saw my Gloom called "Gloom" instead of the Nickname i gave to him. Furthermore i haven't seen any nicknames on pokémon in other gyms.

So i assume you can't, but i still wanted to ask.
 
Can anyone login with Pokemon trainer club? It's just failing to authenticate for me after the update.

I might be done with this game just because the server issues are so frustrating.
 
https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/4sirbt/im_done_buying_poké_balls_if_i_run_out_i_run_out/

I live in a small town that has a few stops scattered around, but unfortunately it's not enough to keep me ahead on poké balls when I make the trip out. The stops are spread out far enough that even if I walk laps between them, I end up spending about as many poké balls catching pokemon as I get from the stops... It ultimately just feels like a tax for rural players to have to buy poké balls.

Man speaks the truth!

My girlfriend's city is a Go wonderland with stops every 30 seconds and some so close together that there are 24/7 pokego parties going on with 4 lures at once at the same park.

My area is a desolate wasteland with one stop within walking distance and two gyms. Nothing but rats and birds.

I can basically only play this game when I go to visit her.

Pokemon Go at it again. I never want to leave this new amazing world born out of this game.
that is a wonderful idea <3

so you're saying it saves relationships too
 
At downtown Seal Beach we have alot of people drive by and either yell "YEAH POKEMON GO" or "YOU CANT EVEN CATCH EM ALL!!!!!!!!"

everyone just reacts the same: :-|?

Someone has that potion that goes off for 30 minutes for all people near it over here next to UCI. Loving it! Caught my highest level pokemon so far. A 167 CP Growlithe inside a Specialtys café!

I'm a level 5 now because of that!
 
What's the curved meter above a pokemon when you look at their stat page?
Their CP potential. It moves as you power them up. When you evolve a Pokemon their CP will increase dramatically based on your trainer level, but the position of the bar along the arc will remain the same.
 
Here in downtown SF there are a lot of Clefairys for some reason... Caught my first one earlier and already seen a few within 30 minutes. Lol
 
They really need to give you a 5 minute window to heal up your Pokémon and claim the gym yourself.
It was kind of my fault. When choosing what Pokémon to put in it I noticed that my Marowak from another gym had been defeated. I was in the process of healing him when the car that had pulled up behind me thirty seconds earlier left. After healing Marowak I went to put it on and the spot was filled.

So now instead of having nine 1000+cp pokemon on a gym there's only eight plus a 250cp Pidgeotto. I would have made bank off that spot.
 
One appeared for my girlfriend on our coffee table while I was at work. She threw a PokéBall, it popped out and immediately ran away. =\
Wow, must be rare/tough to catch. It showed up at a pretty bad time for me too.

Catch Em All &#8207;@CatchthemalI 22h22 hours ago
Kids these days since Pokemon Go has come out


I laughed.

Lol so true. I went grocery shopping yesterday and was playing the entire time
 
It will kill some people too...
While I agree that it is a distraction with many potential dangers and that people will be stupid... that is also the case for any number of other cell phone games, just texting, or even any number of non-cellular distractions for drivers that do harm to themselves or others on a daily basis. The distraction, rather than the nature of the distraction, is the problem here, and nobody should be doing anything of this nature while driving.

Now name me another game that is incentivizing kids to go walk rescue dogs at their local animal shelter. :P

New safety campaign from the Texas Department of Transportation
Damn that was totally stolen from the Southern Maine Google+ group some girl made that a while ago.
Still a good message so glad they are spreading the word.
Saw some people actually bragging about being able to play and drive at the same time.
 
Caught a 563 Kingler in the middle of nowhere, hatched a 315 Pikachu from a 2km egg, and caught a 291 Dratini that randomly appeared in a park that normally gets Staryu at best. Good day!
 
I saw a level 8 gym stacked with the most powerful group of pokemon I ever saw, I think all around or above 1500, including a 1800+ Snorlax. They still got toppled within a couple of hours. If you're in a busy area it seems completely pointless trying to get a gym.

I know it's a cute idea but I hope the kids are supervised and made to pay attention more to the dogs than the game. It's really not a good idea for a kid to be distracted while walking an animal, both for the kid's sake and the pet.
 
Man, turning the AR off makes the game much more smooth. The game almost never lags when trying to enter an encounter and I haven't had any freezes since turning it off. I was getting them constantly with it on. I'll use it every once in awhile but I can live seeing the fake environments.

Also, does anybody else have absolutely no interest in doing any gym stuff? Cause I couldn't care less at the moment lol

I play and drive. I have the app open in a holder on my dash and use it to track pokemon and collect pokestops. I never try to catch a pokemon while driving though. If I find something I pull over.
