For Gen 6 they redid all the older Pokemon cries. Pokemon Go uses the new cries. I imagine this means Pikachu also says 'Pikachu' as its cry, but I don't have one to test.
Hey man.
You can get answers to most of this stuff in the FAQ in the OP.You can "punch above your weight" in Gym battles using Type advantages and by getting the dodging mechanic down. You want to wait for a yellow flash indicating the enemy attack and then dodge.
I'd say it probably isn't worth it at level 5, though.You'll need potions and revives to get your Pokemon back to health after battles, and will struggle against enemies with that high a difference anyway.

It surprises me that Nintendo ok'd this game. It seems like an inherently unsafe product, and we know how safe they like to be with wii-mote condoms, incessant reminders to take a break, and splash screens before a game boots. They are nannies.
As big as it is, it seems to pose a risk to their business unless it is solely the Pokémon Company's problem or there is a lot of legal precedent that the app maker can't be blamed.
This poor teen ran into traffic (after closing the app), but some other dude was catching Pokémon while driving. The darn thing could easily shut off based off of the movement speed captured by the GPS.
Oh well, I'm sure they are sweating it and then toweling off with their benjamins.

We've had a pretty dry and hot summer. They should've dropped this around fall.

Nintendo can't be losing too much sleep here. People just have to learn to use common sense. Catching them all is important. So is making sure you respect the motorists and pedestrians around you. A little bit of judgment will probably suggest that walking into an active street to catch a Mon is not a great move.

These sort of stories, whilst terrible, will always occur whenever something popular comes around, it happens every time.

How is this unsafe? you are not supposed to play pokemon go without being aware of the surroundings. There is even a gyarados warning when you open the app.
That is just stupid. The app has nothing to do with that, it is the user irresponsibility. Maybe we should blame the car company, since if the driver was on foot, he would have not hit the girl. give me a break
The problem isn't the game but the people.
It's already forbidden to not use your phone while driving.
There's already some kind of speed limit cap in the game too.
There's also a warning when you opened the app.
Nintendo or Niantics can't be taken responsible for the lack of common sense of players because the game don't reward you to be a dummy or jerk (there is no achievements in game I mean by that). I would've agreeded with you if the game encouraged bad habit or behaviour like "if you play in your car and reach 100Km hour speed limit you will get a reward!" But no it doesn't. Neiter told people to go out at night to play the game at 2am. You can catch any pokemon during the day.
It's mobile trash, definitely, but it's mobile trash that manages to give me that little extra push I needed to go on bike rides like I've always been meaning to. I can't hate it.
I've found this really inconsistent, in truth, but I had two surprise Eevees after a particularly glitchy period so it happens.
After a couple of days I think I'm done with this game. The levelling is far too slow and having the servers die when you just popped incense or are really far from your house just kills your enthusiasm completely. My town is fairly small and has few Pokestops near my house but all of the gyms seem to have been taken over by what I can only summise are cheaters, the game only came out this morning (UK) and for the last two days there have been level 20s holding all the fucking gyms.

that is true, it's a very cheap game that is also super ugly. apart from the pokemon themselves the menu and buttons look like from terrible 90s web design.
the game lives from the novelty geocoaching factor that basically turns this into a RL MMO. ingress could not do this, the pokemon franchise can. it brings people together, that's what makes this so popular and succesfull. not the poor minigames and actual gameplay. that's very important to understand.
Niantic need to work very hard on this if they want this game to be more than the summer hit 2016, I believe it's possible, but they pobably didn't think it would be such a success, I really can't beleive they would have released this game with these wordart buttons if they expected this to be such a huge hit. it's embarassing.
I think calling it "inherently unsafe" is a bit of a stretch. I absolutely sympathize with the 15-year-old who got hit by a car and her mother, and I'm especially glad she will be ok. I even understand her mother's desire to try to assign blame directly to the game. She has to go somewhere with her worry and pain. But she claims,
It doesn't matter what application you're using, it's never any less important to maintain awareness of your surroundings and exercise caution.
No, it didn't :-/ She took herself across a major highway at 5:00 in the evening. I don't know if her expectation was that the game would make it so that there wasn't any traffic at the time or if she didn't realize where she was, but... the notion that she wasn't responsible and rather the application she was using was, seems a little hard to swallow. Unless there is more to the story, the motorist wouldn't be found at at fault here, nor would the developer of the application be legally culpable in any way. That might sound sort of harsh but shifting the responsibility off of the person actually encourages a lack of personal responsibility, even if it seems counterintuitive in this case.

So I just bought 10 euros worth of Pokecoins; I'm level 6, what should I waste it on?
Edit: Also, should I hatch eggs yet? I have a 10km one in an incubator and just read that it might have been a good ide to save it...

you'll never be the best there ever was with that attitude
You need Android 4.4 but the S3 doesn't have that. So you would need to root it and install other firmware via flashing and such (no idea how that exactly works but there are guides online).
Also, three lures at this place...level 10, here I come.
Pokestops will drop them occasionally if you have a free slot for them

At pokestops.
This game managed to get something done I never thought would happen, I got back into working out, Since downloading the game I started to go for more walks or short runs and it encourages me to go on (atleast right now) Nintendo/Niantic/Pokemon achieved something other mobile games didnt got done...the mobile part. You have to be "mobile" to play it right
Depending on which you mean:
Pokemon eggs are found at stops. They aren't uncommon at all but they come in 3 flavors, 2km, 5km and 10km.
Lucky Eggs are a cash shop item, though you can get them from leveling up or using Pokecoins from your gym daily rewards. I've gotten 3 without spending any money.

I haven't even bothered with Gyms yet. From what I understand you don't even need good Pokemon, you just need to get used to dodging and then you can take any gym with some effort. The guys on Silph Road said something like half the CP can still take a gym.
10km give rarer pokemon and the higher your trainer level the higher CP they will be when they hatch. I have a ton of 10km eggs so I'm just hatching them as I go along. Getting to a higher trainer level seems more important, I'll start worrying about min/maxing monster CP when I'm at like level 16-18. So you can either hatch them now and get the experience from getting a new pokemon or wait and level up other ways, by then you'll probably have more 10km eggs anyway.
As for what to do with the money, buy a Lucky Egg and evolve a ton of pidgey's and ratatta's at once to get double XP and power level.

THE POWER OF BUTTERSCOTCH BOTTOMS
Anyone else randomly find out that having the game in compass mode that the selected pokemon on the bottom right pulses when facing the right directions?
That seems about right. As long as you can do damage, and as long as you have the dodging down (and have the time) you can win by skill, so with type advantage you could probably even go a little below half and still make it happen. A 130CP against a 700 would likely be an exercise in frustration though.
rattatas are expensive as fuck to evolve though
Eh, not so sure. The game company should know that it's likely that kids are going to be less aware of their surroundings (the game demands it), thus leading to potential accidents when it's a game that involves crossing streets and being in public. If kids were using the game in completely unexpected ways, then sure, it's unfair to blame the company. But when it's obvious that kids are going to be acting this way, even with the warning, I expect the company to get blamed and sued. No one is saying that people aren't liable for their actions, or even that it is fair to blame the company, but when kids start dying because of the game, I expect strong backlash. :\ Hopefully no one gets hurt, but I've seen firsthand people running into things to get a pokemon.
I thought people debunked this and said the flashing is actually the list updating
I still don't get how this happens. Maybe people think you catch rare pokemon at weird places?
People are walking on train tracks her and the railroad company blames Nintendo and not the actual people. It's good that there isn't a mobile murder app yet because the reaction would be "the app made me do it".
What else would you do with the 100 rattatas in your inventory
Pokeballs aren't a problem for me yet so I guess I just catch whatever comes my way. Point being just collect for a while and wait to have an evolving party with a lucky egg.

Someone mentioned this to us last night, that the box would flash green for them when facing the right direction of a selected pokemon, but after testing it for a while with selecting several diff ones it didn't actually do anything for us. The little "pulse" just seems to indicate that the list has updated.

you can't blame the company. Maybe the parents should not give phones or tablets to kids. maybe the parents should not allow them to play the game. If a kid gets cut with a knife, you don't blame the company. If a kid gets choked on a food, you don;t blame the hot dog company. I can spend the whole day mentioning similar cases where the company is not liable at all.
I guess I'm confused by what you mean here. Are you thinking people will sue and win?
Have the developers of basic texting apps been successfully sued for deaths resulting from people getting hit by a car while texting as a pedestrian or while texting and driving?

Love it when you incubate some eggs before going for a long walk, only to discover when you finish that the white loading pokeball was spinning the entire time.
I mean, it's entirely possible that there really was a Pokemon she tracked to the other side of a busy highway.
...but that doesn't mean you run out into the highway.
Tuesday night I was learning the nuances of the Nearby tracker and I tracked a 3 footprint Eevee all the way to 1 and discovered that it was on the other side of a tall fence, which was private property that was not my own. Know what I did? I turned around and let it go.
Common sense has to overrule anything any game tells you.
I'm absolutely drowning in Rattatas and Pidgeys, to the point where 5/6 of all of the pokemon I see are one of those two or their evolutions. The other 1/6th of the pokemon are the pokemon that people post about, so if you look at forums, you're definitely going to think that people have way better luck than you. For all of the new pokemon I've found, I've probably transferred twice that number of Pidgeys, Rattatas, and Zubats. Don't feel too bad about your luck, it's just persistence to find new stuff.
And yeah, the distance tracking for eggs can be super janky. I've had a few times where the app registered more distance in my pocket while I was driving to work than when I biked three times that distance.
I guess my question is:
is getting hit by a car because I was searching for an oddish at a 4 way intersection downtown worth possibly bricking my phone?
Life questions
Common sense is a rare commodity in our time.
People don't think anymore and than they blame other people for their own stupidity.
I can't really feel sorry for people that get hurt by "catching them all" because they apparently have lost track of their senses.
Pidgeys and Weedles are awesome, they level you hard.
