Nice app brehs

I JUST WANT TO CATCH MY STARTER, BUT MY PHONE KEEPS CRASHING WHEN I GO TO. FUCK.

Anyway,

So all you NYCcucks, you guys natives or transplants? College? Working?

I just graduated from a public college. Any of you niggas wanna trade me a job for my pokemon?

How do I choose a name god damn I'm bad at this

Question

I live in USA and my friend a couple cities over has it and 1 state over has it
When I go to the Google play store it says it's unavailable in my country

How is that possible if my friends have it?

done walking around for the night. is it worth it to use my last incense and just stay in one place? will i still catch stuff?

When are they adding effort value points and held items? Can we expect that in the next update?

>>27007854
It'll ask for your nickname after a certain point. I think after you choose your trainer "style".

>>27007865
That's strange. I guess just wait, anon.

WHAT ARE THE GRASS THINGS FOR REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

How do I join a team?

Anyone else feel like it's kind of fucked?

You can't heal your pokemon except with potions, and if they die you have to use a revive. Where are the fucking pokemon centers? Or at least give me an unlimited way to heal them out of combat.

Right now, there's no point to nicknaming pokemon because it's better to just catch new ones. They're disposable. How did they screw up something so important?

Anyone spotted any legendaries yet?

>>27007866
nah I was at my buddy's house and used it and didn't really catch anything new but he caught a cubone using it. Later we drove around town though with them on and I got a krabby, arbok, pidgeotto, staryu, bulbasaur and zubat

can someone please tell me how to play this game!
I'm walking around like an asshole and nothing is happening

I almost tripped over some people at the park and they started yelling at me.
but its fucking night time, why are you sitting in the middle of a walk way in the first place?

>>27007848
Moved here 16 years ago, currently in college. I'd like a job, but I'm a lazy fuck so I've been using 'full time student' as an excuse.

I can't seem to get my starter. The prof just tells me to catch one with a pokeball and then leaves, and I'm standing in an open blue area. I can tap around and get a little circle but nothing happens, and when I tap the starter I want nothing happens at all, and there are no other buttons or any menu at all.

They want you to throw shekels at them to heal your pokemon.


It's fucking disgusting how they do this, but it's a phone game, what did we expect?

You can also heal your Pokemon by making them stronger with stardust. And evolving them, I think.

And it's not always better to catch new Pokemon, even if their starting CP is higher, if they don't have better attacks.

>>27007947
The game uses Ingress account names, so a lot of the names are already taken.

I also learned the hard way that if you have an Ingress account, you have to log into Pokemon Go with that email to use that name.

You can get plenty of items just from going to Pokespots though and it doesn't take too long for them to reset and let you get more.
I do hate how disposable the pokemon feel though. There's no reason to stick with an old bro if you catch another that's higher CP.

>>27007901
I stopped naming mine when I figured I could catch better. I do wish CP was influenced by...anything but random chance. Let me play with my pokemon and get their friendship up or battle with them to make them stronger. Currently it's a game to simply collect and catch as many as possible to fill out your Dex.

Transplant. I'm working for NYU Law on a summer program, to pass the time between my 1L and 2L year of law school. My school's EIP program starts in August, so I'll have a job lined up through that

2 questions
1. Would putting the device in Low Accuracy GPS be better since the character will walk around randomly thus making my search wider?
2. If I leave a pokemon at the gym, will it be gone from my party so i can't train it more/Evolve it?

>>27008037
Well dicks.

I guess I'll head back out tomorrow. Walked for a while, got like 20 unique mons before my battery ate shit.

I hit 5 right as I got home, spotted a Venonat, Venomoth, and Jigglypuff that leveled me up the last time.

Just in case you didn't know, transferring a pokemon to the professor (AKA deleting it) gives you 1 candy for that type of pokemon. Don't hold onto multiples.

>>27008048
You realize you can increase a Pokemon's CP by "powering them up," right?
It's stupid that they don't gain it automatically through battles, but I'm pretty sure you can get stardust through gyms and just use that to do so.

You say it like it's a bad thing.

Was working fine with the aus apk.

Was working fine with the US apk launch

Now either getting server error page, which hasnt happened in a while. Or logging in but being stuck in forever loading on the map. The gyms, poke stops, and wild pokemon arent on my map, can still check my pokemon, items, achievements, and visit the shop even. But can't get anything new to load.

Anyone else?

So does the actual pokemon not really affect its strength. Like will a 300 cp dragonite be the same power as a 300cp raticate taking account moves

There's no point doing that though and wasting stardust and candy when you'll probably just catch a better one later.

I know there are fake GPS apps, but I hear a lot dont work with Ingress. Is this the same for Pokemon go? If not, which apps would you recommend?

>>27008075
But why would I do that when I can catch better? Is that really the only use of stardust? Do the CP boosts stay? Thus far none of my lower CP Pokemon have had decent attacks, regardless.

Is turning Pokemon into the professor and catching the same type the only way to get candy?

But then you're stuck with shitty Pokemon until you catch a Pokemon you're happy with. I guess you can ignore gyms and the like and just go around, catching increasingly stronger Pokemon, but unless you spend some stardust you're going to be out-classed.

How accurate have you found the "nearby pokemon" markers?
Does marking (flipping) pokestops achieve something else than small bonuses?
What should f2prs watch out for?
Does "rustling grass" have anything to do with pokemon locations?
Can you leave this thing on sleep mode instead of following the screen step by step?

also lol

>>27008248
Yes, you get candy for it, and unless you want to buy more storage, you'll run out sooner or later.

None of the names I usually choose are available, even things people never take. Is there some sort of criteria I'm not meeting or are they just all taken already. Even Pac-meme was taken what the hell

Australian who has been playing since yesterday - level 8.

>Is there a perfect moment to throw a pokeball
I have found that when the circle is right around the body of a pokemon AND it hit's it right on the head is when you get Nice, Great or Excellent. For smaller pokemon it's a smaller circle and for larger pokemon it's a bigger circle.

>How accurate have you found the "nearby pokemon" markers
1 footprint = 20m
2 = 50m
3 = 100m

I have found that rustling grass means that there is a pokemon there that will appear in your player pulse (the pulsing circle that surrounds your player). You DO NOT have to directly walk to rustling grass.

>Does flipping pokestops achieve something else?
50XP and random items. Have only received Poke balls, potions and revives so far. They "reset" every 5 minutes.

>What should f2prs watch out for?
I don't really have an answer. Just catch everything and transfer duplicates with a low CP

>Can you leave this thing on sleep mode?
No. It will not do anything. The app has to be open for anything to occur.

>Will driving in the car/riding the bus/riding the train incubate eggs
No. You must be walking with the app open to incubate eggs.

If you visit a same-color Gym, can you do anything?

>>27008258
It seems pokemon go is related to other Ingress games, so thats why everything is sort of already taken, I had the same issue until I landed on something it would take.

>>27008261
How do you tell what moves are good?
Just the highest numbers?

I'm feeling pretty stupid about this but there IS supposed to be sound with this app right? I checked the settings and it says music is on but I don't hear a single thing. I checked my phones sound settings and they all appear to be on so why isn't the app making any sounds?

>>27008288
I got a Slowpoke from mine.

>>27008192
>Is there a perfect moment to throw a pokeball?
Throwing the pokeball when the circle indicator is at its smallest gives you a Nice or Great bonus for exp. But the timing is a bit tight. Also worth noting if you spin the pokeball and toss it you get a curveball bonus for a pinch more exp
>How accurate have you found the "nearby pokemon" markers?
Not too accurate, but i noticed on some occasions i would drop down from 2 prints, to 1, if i walked in one direction, but go back down to 1 if i walked in the other direction, so i know which way to go.
>Does marking (flipping) pokestops achieve something else than small bonuses?
Not really, it gives you items, and they refresh rather fast, a matter of minutes. Pokestops are what lets f2pers play for free.
>What should f2prs watch out for?
As mentioned above, pokestops are huge for them. Also stationing a pokemon at a gym lets you claim poke coins once daily. If you plan on visiting multiple gyms, make sure to claim it after you visited all of them as you cant claim them again if you already did even if you only claimed one gyms worth. Lastly, Leveling up gives you more pokeballs and stuff too. But consider it as if it were a finite resource.
>Does "rustling grass" have anything to do with pokemon locations?
>Can you leave this thing on sleep mode instead of following the screen step by step?
Yes the phone will vibrate when you're close to one, but i've had mixed results like this.

>>27008290
If you live near a bunch of spots: not very
If you live in the middle of nowhere: good fucking luck

>>27008291
Shit that can happen? Did both its moves change, or just one?

>>27008261
Not entirely. The Pokémon's moves are random but also CHANGE when you evolve them, so your Drowzee could have the super strong move Psychic but lose it for something weaker when it evolves into Hypno.

CP is always more important than moves if you're looking to evolve.

>>27008238
So is the only way to actually use your pokes in a battle is hope you bump into someone else with GO?

For me, just one, but his only attack became growl so i wouldnt doubt they'd motherfuck both of your moves.

>>27008312
No, that's not how it works either.
You leave a Pokemon at a gym, others come to battle it and you can also battle pokemon at gyms.
If you're in the middle of nowhere and don't have gyms near you, sorry.

>>27008310
What if you have a fully evolved Pokemon with low CP and shit moves, but also its unevolved form with similar/slightly higher CP and good moves. Which should you train? It's a Paras and Parasect.

>>27008322
Nigga, put shoes on and go walk around the hood.

Yes. You can leave the app open on your desk and random Pokemon will pop up. I caught almost all of mine in my room.
>>27008213

>Find a gym for yellow

Fucking /y/

better to power up prevos or just evolve then power up?

>>27008288
i got a nidorino, i had already caught one, but the egg-hatched one has more power.

i got another one, haven't hatched yet

>>27008319
Do you literally live under a rock?

I live in an urban area and rarely see anything other than Weedle, Caterpie, Rats, and Pidgey.

>>27008332
If I leave a pokemon at a gym does it still gain xp or whatever?

>>27008312
Nope. Go to a location/landmark/notable building in your town/area called a Gym where someone else with GO has claimed and then CHALLENGE that Gym. You aren't actually battling THEM, you're battling the AI Pokémon that they left there to defend that Gym. If you beat it enough times you can then claim the Gym, put your Pokémon in it and other users who visit the location can challenge your Pokémon.

So when you're out of pokeballs...that's it you're done?

No pokestops near me

How do you gain levels? By walking around?

You should evolve the lower one but the moves will change. I've been evolving raticates over and over trying to get the best moves possible.

>>27008354
unless youve got pokeshekels, yeah.

Post your trainers.
Hard mode: Don't block out your nickname.
Nightmare mode: Post your location and make friends/get stabbed

>>27008319
Dude you should transfer all your weak duplicate mons to the professor and keep your strongest/highest CP ones for extra candy. The amount of candies will add up and eventually you can evolve your strong ones.

>>27008260
I catch every pidgey for the experience points and it was, at the time, an easy way to get high CP pokemon. Got countless pidgey candies. Now I'm looking at transferring them.
Was only about 6 hours of walking, including last night, to get all this done.

>>27008265
Quick Attack and Hyperbeam.

>Find a Butterfree
>Pokeballs arcing away from it

Fuck.

>>27008354
You can either buy more Pokeballs or go find a Pokestop. I have two within walking distance and they restock every five minutes or so so I'll never run out of Pokeballs.

>Turn GPS to low accuracy mode (Only GPS, no wifi or access points)

I forget who was asking, but yeah, you can't hatch eggs with the app closed.
https://support.pokemongo.nianticlabs.com/hc/en-us/articles/222049967
>Tip: Make sure you have the Pokémon GO app open while you walk. Kilometers walked when the Pokémon GO app is closed won’t count toward hatching your Eggs.

You can also pay for multiple incubators to hatch many pokemon at once if you're that desperate.

Why is everything I catch extra small?

I don't think the three little footprints mean three steps away. I could be wrong, though.

Tomorrow I commute for ~40 minutes through San Francisco. I wonder if being in a car will increase encounter rates.

When you evolve a pokemon, do you need the 2nd-tier pokemons candy to level up again? Like I'm about to evolve a pidgey, will I need pidgeotto candy to level up/evolve my pidgeotto??

>>27008518
More than likely, especially if its a church or a library. I hear you can make your own spots with Ingress,maybe try that.

What is the official /vp/ team? Seems like yellow is the best choice since you will dodge all the normies from Ingress funneling into blue and red.

Asking question again because I didn't get an answer.

Is it better to power up a pokemon to max cp before evolving it, or does that not matter at all?

I went on a walk about 12 hours ago, there was a tauros at the park. At that point, I didnt understand how the nearby pokemon, grass, or the tracks worked. I'm still thinking about him.

>>27008655
Actually not that great. The best I've found is driving through heavily trafficked streets with lots of shops and catching stuff while going ~35 mph. I got my mom to drive me to jack in the box doing something like this and on the way caught something like 15 pokemon.

>>27008669
Evolve first, power up later.

I don't think they're especially rare. There are none by my house but they're practically swarming the gas station in town

I am also trying to decide this. I'm leaning towards red because it has a chick as it's leader and it isn't blue. What are you leaning towards?

Yeah I was kind of joking but I was just surprised because I put a shed in my backyard not too long ago and it's showing on the map

So are you guys waiting to find XL/XL pokemon to evolve or are you already buffing your early mons?

I was also thinking red in honor of my very first pokemon game, Pokemon Red.

so how does the grass and all that work? ive just been looking for the leaf notification thing and driving to it to catch them, but half the time they dont show up.

also, whats with the dificulty of catching pokemon? caught an alakazam first try, yet a motherfucking pidgeot took 30 balls. at least 5 of those were when the circle was almost as small as it can get, and it always busted out immediately

I have a Galaxy Nexus that's only supposed to support up to 4.2. I rooted it and forced a 5.0.2 OS onto it, but the game still crashes as soon as I get to the first load screen.
