Pokémon Go |OT| As in "Go Outside"

This is a fascinating phenomenon. Wonder if it is just a passing fad, or really a segment of games that are here to stay?

The initial rush will calm down in a few weeks. I expect it to still be very popular for at least a few months. How and when they update the game with new content will determine the longer term fate. I don't want this to end up as Miitomo 2.0 in terms of active users.
 
Ok funny story time.

My kid is at his grandma's house (mom's side) for a couple weeks for the summer. He called me last night to talk about the Pokemon he's been catching. I hear grandma in the background (think of it in your best grumpy old lady voice):

"How did those Pokemon get in my house!? Are they coming out of Grampa's ipad since he's on it for 10 hours a day? Is that it? Grampa, get off the ipad! You're letting all the Pokemon in the house!!"
This is amazing.

Couldn't find the Wartortle. Thing kept jumping from the closest to farthest position in my nearby list. Damn, why'd that have to break now? At least I caught some Eevees, just need one more candy to evolve one.
 
Go with https://www.twitch.tv/deadpoolyplays instead.

He is a super positive guy. Watched him yesterday and two days ago (he had 9k+ viewers then). Something funny...when the viewers asked him to sing the Pokemon song and he replied: "Nah, not enough people here. I'll do it later, in a crowd. I was in the army and am a father of two, I have no shame."

Man this guy has the worst pokeball throws I've ever seen. He is terrible. Seems like a nice enough guy...
 
Does it matter what move set a Pokemon have? Can I choose myself which move to use in battle? Because I think I'm just swiping forward to attack and that's it.
 
Charity Miles is the bomb, I use it for any outdoor event in which I'll be walking a lot! My miles go to Team RWB.
Awesome. I'm donating to Feeding America. A lot of pretty reputable names are there as options.

Tap to use your quick attack. When you've charged a "bar", the blue meter, you can hold down to use your Special Attack- but this leaves you vulnerable, so it's usually only ever worth it if you know it will cause a OHKO.

Swipe left or right to dodge when you see the yellow flash.
Is every mon e steps away for everyone right now? No matter where I go everything is 3 steps even when they appear.
Yeah it's a weird known bug as of this morning.
 
At a local park with a friend, a Tauros popped on her screen, DIDDLY SHIT ON MINE RAAAAAAAAAAAGE.

Actually I was pretty stoked for her. :-D

Getting this too and it's annoying.

How can I catch the legendary Doduo when I can't locate which direction it's supposed to be in man.

And of course Gastly has to come out at night when things get creepiest.

it matters a lot since you're stuck with the two moves

maybe pidgeot can actually dent dragonite with twister lol

is STAB in the game?

It definitely matters! Type advantages are HUGE, I've beaten Arcanines twice my level with a Vaporeon before.

Alright, cool thanks. Didn't know about the blue meter but dodging is useless as it is lagging like crazy. I'm trying to take down a 1000cp Vaporeon at my gym but my Pokemon are so weak.

Guess I'll start look out for which move set my Pokemon has before powering up and trading.
 
I'm the only one that has a friggin hard time with Zubats? not only they're hard to aim, they escape a lot more than other Pokemons. I think I'm gonna ignore them for now.
 
Anyone know why sometimes, when I attack a gym, the enemy will one shot my first Pokemon right off the bat, even though my CP is higher than theirs? There wasn't a type disadvantage or anything like that either. Is it lag?

No, definitely not. I have a nightmare aiming at them because they fly around and you have to aim higher than with most of the other Pokemon.
 
Screw Zubats, they are the most annoying Pokemon.

If only they were as easy to evolve as Pidgeys....

No, definitely not. I have a nightmare aiming at them because they fly around and you have to aim higher than with most of the other Pokemon.

They also seems to escape more frequently than other Pokemons. Just now I had one that escaped 3 times in a row and it was a mere 90CP. And it's not the first time it happens to me.
 
So hey, any multiple device people out there, does it actually save your info from one to the other so you can play on either one?

I think I remembered someone saying it did, even cross-OS, but I can't find it.

Yes it does. I played on my iPhone and my android phone.

I am on the beach with waves on my feet. Magmar found... Really?
