Meh, now there are the ball freezes again. Just lost a Pokemon which had to be pretty much at CP cap.

Yeah this keeps happening to me, along with Pokemon disappearing off of the nearby menu completely as I get closer to them.
All of my time and progress keeps going towards nothing.

I think I'm just about done with this buggy mess.

 

[Lee]

Just happened to me, haha.

Has anyone else caught a Vulpix yet by the way?

Won't be taking any gyms with it any time soon.

 

[ZiggyPalffyLA]

Just tried it and didn't work for me

If you're telling the truth (and you didn't misspell it), you're the first reported failure with this method.

They shortly had a server for catching yesterday and it worked perfectly but apparently they took it offline again and changed stuff around...

 

[Lucumo]

Mine is 34. Shortly afterwards I caught a Seaking at 28...makes me sad.

 

[Dishwalla]

I want a damned charizard.

So much to be disappointed about in this game. Lol. I invested a ton into a lvl 400 Ponyta, getting him up to my highest pokemon - 1012 Rapidash... just caught a 731 Ponyta.... followed by a 695 and 638... I just want to farm low level Ponytas again but they're all a pain to catch..

Yeah, I cant justify traveling and spending time for a game that doesn't consistently reward hard work.

Nobody should be expected to put up with crap like this. If I spend 10 minutes walking through the city to get closer to a pokemon, only to have it disappear when it gets down to 2 footprints, I just wasted my time and energy, let alone have advanced very little in the game.


It's disappointing too. Guess I'm deleting it.

 

[Jobbs]

I caught a CP484 Snorlax on the way home yesterday. No one I know has this. Is this rare/good?

True, but you also got some exercise you wouldn't have gotten otherwise. Gotta see the bright side!

 

[Pachimari]

If you put a Pokémon at a gym, will you lose it?

I deleted it after the first night, then reinstalled two days later. Didn't expect it to be such a cultural phenomenon. I'm still playing right now because most of my friends are and it's all people are talking about.

 

[haendeul]

A Vulpix spawned on me yesterday but the servers were so beat I couldn't catch it. I did see a real fox family on my way home though.

 

[Shadow Ranger]

Man, still can't sign in. I set myself up for disappointment by getting sucked in so quickly! SFV story mode it is then (*yawn*).

Edit: SFV servers down too! What am I supposed to do, go out and actually do something? Never...

 

[H.Protagonist]

Just wasted something like 40 Pokeballs and a bunch of berries because of the damn glitching. -_-

A Blastoise showed up in my bedroom and I hit it, like, 7 times with the damn balls, got it and...freeze. I reload, the bloody thing is there again so I try again. Same thing. Freeze. 3 times! Even logged out and back in that third time. Now I have no Pokeballs and no Blastoise. *siiiiigh*

 

[Shady859]

If you put a Pokémon at a gym, will you lose it?

You lose access to it until it's defeated and then it comes back to you. Most people don't leave their bests if they are planning to fight again soon.


I have an 82 Vulpix 1 shot 1 kill.

 

[Aomber]

Is it bad that I'm traveling an hour to go downtown just to play this game. 😇

 

[adamy]

Just happened to me, haha.

Has anyone else caught a Vulpix yet by the way?

Yeah I've caught 5 or so

 

[PodcastFips]

So my Pokedex says I saw 35 Pokemon, while I carry 42 different ones with me. What's the deal here?

happened to me with a butterfree, yours was a better reason >_<

 

[ManaMiku]

I'm still bummed to date I haven't seen a Pikachu. The only 1 electric Pokemon I have is a Voltorb.

 

[Lucumo]

A real fox family? Pff, catching that Vulpix would have been better

Yeah I've caught 5 or so

Hm, was my first time seeing one on the map. At least I found the position, even without functioning steps.

 

[T.O.P]

When you finally find a Pikachu farm spot...

I've been searching for a Pikachu so fuckin hard since D1 with no luck

 

[haendeul]

Oh, I agree. It's like they were taunting me.

 

[Hawkian]

Is it bad that I'm traveling an hour to go downtown just to play this game. &#128519;

I mean I think traveling anywhere to play it is the idea, but sadly the servers are still really unstable

 

[Doctor West]

Still can't sign in.

 

[Lace]

So my Pokedex says I saw 35 Pokemon, while I carry 42 different ones with me. What's the deal here?

It means you have seen 35 different types of pokemon. If it's a pokemon you've never seen before that number will increase. Having duplicates won't add to that number.

 

[Lucumo]

I've been searching for a Pikachu so fuckin hard since D1 with no luck

Yeah, never seen one either. Same with Charmander or Bulbasaur. Caught a lot of Squirtles though. Too bad that was my starter Pokemon.

It means you have seen 35 different types of pokemon. You must be carrying 42 with duplicates.

Don't forget that eggs also count towards the Pokemon number...for whatever reason.

 

[PodcastFips]

I just double checked, I carry 42 individuals with me, no duplicates. But the Pokedex still says 35, strange.

Don't forget that eggs also count towards the Pokemon number...for whatever reason.

This is it, I carry around 33 + 9 eggs, that's why it says 42. So my Pokedex seems alright after all.

 

[Confrontation]

So I wanna get this for my little nephew, go out and search with him. But it's not out in my country yet. I wanna download the apk but read an article that you have a chance of getting banned? Is that a realistic possibility?

 

[Nictel]

I wonder what the problem is. They should be able to get additional servers. Hope it is not a more fundamental problem.

I just hope they will work during the weekend.

 

[Irishonion]

Anyone else think catching is rough just today?

A magikarp 36 cp, had curvball and a 'nice', poofed and ran away...a freaking magikarp.

I work down the block from this corner. Being on the 18th floor, the GPS has trouble knowing where to put me, so my character wanders a lot. I almost never get this close to the corner, but I've been here in reach for the last 30 minutes or so.

The upside is all my eggs hatch while I sit at my desk.

 

[RalliArtEvo]

That's really cool!

 

[T.O.P]

I have 30km to do on my bike tomorrow morning, the servers better not shit themselves :/

 

[Birathen]

Ive taken the family on Pokémon hunts two Days in a row. And they love it. Do whatever makes you happy :3

Edit: I would say that getting out, moving about makes it Leagues bettet then sitting at home playing anything else

 

[The12thGripper]

When you finally find a Pikachu farm spot...

holy shit

 

[FreedomFrisbee]

I was able to log in, PTC brothers

 

[petethepanda]

Glad I checked the item listings for the bag and pokemon upgrades before buying $5 worth of pokecoins for them. I figured the upgrades would double the capacity or something, not just increase them by frigging 50 :lol

Double? What do you need this many Pokemon and items for? I'm doing well with just the standard capacity.

 

[Toki767]

Footprints are still broken huh?

Any word from Niantic about it?

 

[Costia]

I keep getting balls from pokestops and almost no healing items. Strange, are they supposed to be rare?

 

[Kebiinu]

No dice for me. Bummer.

 

[Fireblend]

No it's not. Go ahead and download the APK. Make sure you download it from apkmirror!

 

[Oxx]

I kept the app going while I went on a 5km run. With all the freezes and reboots I only got 2.8km of credit for my eggs.

 

[Lucumo]

No dice for me. Bummer.

Weird, I never had any problems with it unless the login server was down.

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

So how do you get more of the items to level up pokemon?

 

[Lucumo]

What I dislike, there are a lot of weird attacks in this game that I don't know. Horsea for instance has a steel attack. Why?

 

[Costia]

So how do you get more of the items to level up pokemon?

By catching the same pokemon multiple times
