We keep talking about our strongest pokemon and how many gyms we've captured, what about the Pokedex? How close are any of yall to catching them all?

I've gotten 25 different species so far. Would love to hit 30 by the end of the weekend but I kinda doubt it will happen.

>>27059638
My pokedex is fucked, the test is vertical down the left side of the screen

>>27059243

I'm planning on doing that as well. As well as popping an incese, going to manhattan for new pokemon and tons of pokestops.

It should be pretty crash.

it's not like I have a choice. Literally nothing spawns near me in a 1 mile radius

If you live anywhere near a city just go there for the day instead. In my city there is a cluster of constantly lured pokestops in the parklands. If you don't want to talk to people just go find somewhere to sit down and put headphones in.

It doesn't work like that, multiple people can catch the same Pokemon spawn.

There are still some things I don't quite get. How the fuck am I supposed to buff a friendly gym? It somehows only let me fight them but I just want to store my shit in there to secure the superiority of the blue mystic master race. Also how the fuck does everyone level up and evolve so fast? Hell evolutions cost a ton and yet every faggot here has higher shit than me in the gyms. And hell I even live in germany were it isn't even supposed to be out yet so what the fuck am I doing wrong

tried this a few different ways and managed to get my avatar into a cluster of pokestops and gyms nearby but none of them worked. Any successful spoofers please reply

>>27059985
You need to train with them (see: fight them with a single mon) until the gym's level goes up through the gained prestige. Then you'll get the option to add a mon to it.

>>27059985
Fight. If you win you can add a mon to the gym.

You buy eggs & incubators. Hatching awards 500xp, evolving them adds another 500.

That's 10 captures worth and all you need to do is drive around slowly.

Depends on the area. Normies are alternating between red and yellow with blue being the team of the special eds. If you want to be in for the long haul, go yellow. If you're just going to play for a couple weeks, choose whatever is prevalent in your area to get free gold.

>>27060469
Go to pokestops. The blue things on your map. And whatever colour you like best. Yellow seems to be the most underrated. At least in my area.

>>27060492
Thanks! What team should I join? I don't know what the locals have chosen in general but I have a feeling my friends will go for blue.

Can you dethrone people from your same team color gym? I have better mons that could defend better, or do you have to wait till a rival team takes it over ?

>>27060839

Different anon here.

The tracking is very very poor.
It has anti speed detection so if you go to fast it wont count such as car travel, but it's so inaccurate it took me 10km to hatch a 2km egg for me in Australia.

I walked around my block which is 1.5km and it obly registered 100m

In case you don't know, the order of the Pokemon nearby is determined by their distance. So if you are looking for a mon at 3 footprints, walk in any direction for about 25m and see if the order changes. That way you will know whether you are walking in the right direction almost instantly. Caught a motherfucking Kingler this way.

That's like at my house. Pop an incense and you'll get random pogeys since you don't have desigated species by you.

>>27061499
I think the game takes a few minutes to accurately update your information, so if you are walking in circles it will just fail to register some things. If you walk 2km in a straight line it will probably get it right.

Download the game called "Ingress" on your phone and create an account

Google "ingress map" and sign in, the map you see is identical to the pokemon go map because the developers chose to port a node map from one of their other games instead of creating a new one

Just got a raichu and the servers crashed ha!

>>27061981
Its still a early release, you gotta check the icons or the shop count to see how many you got lol

>>27061916
Doesnt work. The nodes match up but there is no way of telling which one is a gym and which one a stop. I have a stop and a gym behind my house and both appear as blue markers on Ingress map.

Just caught a Dratini

You have to be at a lake sometime around dusk

The fucking American neets are awake again servers will not be usable again until tomorrow

The gyms and stops look definitively different bruh the gyms on my go look like giant white tower things with a Pokemon on too if the gyms captured

Many of the stops, all actually, were set by Ingress users back then right?

What if a location changes?

Say your stop is a sign or a store but that's long gone and there is something else

>click on "forgot your password?"
>sorry, we don't let people make new accounts right now

uh, I just want to know the password to the one I had already

I don't know about where you are but there about 12 gyms within 5 minutes of me (I hold 3 of them) and the average leader level is 850 so nothing sub-800 is viable

you need hundreds of catches (not to mention a stack of candies from dupes) to level a single stage pokemon up to gym battling standards so it's not worth it

meanwhile, every other eevee I catch is around about 300 and evolving them will reliably triple the CP

so basically my onix and lapras will never see battle because I can shit out a CP 900 eeveelution every day even without using a single stardust

Do you guys actually think they'll add more Pokemon to the game?

I know they said they were going to at E3, but it seems like this game's primary target is genwunners. I can't really see them adding the later generations. I hope they add ALL the pokemon honestly.

>Sitting at desk with game open
>every 5-10 minutes, phone just makes a massive noise and am suddenly surrounded by 4-5 Pokemon

This doesn't seem like it should be happening.

I just came in from a nice little adventure that included hatching 3 eggs and picked up a 10km egg.

Has anyone hatched one before? What did you get?

>>27062603

I'd be fine if they stopped between Gen 2 - Gen 4 honestly, Its already an absolute pain to evolve some pokemon because of how rare it is but jesus christ its gonna be hell with how many pokemon could pop up. Maybe if they make it easier to track them down it won't be as bad

>>27062603
the original pokemon audience and the current player base does not give a fuck about anything after gen 3 and even that is pushing it

every normie on the street recognizes every single first gen pokemon and this game is designed to cater to every normie on the street so even if they did decide for some reason to litter their game with later-gen pokemon that 95% of their players don't want it would be years down the road

what do the little feet mean in the "nearby pokemon section" of the map

Does it mean your distance from them?

File: endit.jpg (28KB, 600x549px) Image search: [Google]

28KB, 600x549px

how are you "supposed" to play this game?

for me its either

>sitting at home
>open up app
>no pokemon in the room
>only thing on radar is pidgey and eevee, all at max distance
>turn off app

or

>go for walk around neighborhood
>find a pidgey or two
>go to pokestop
>oh yay, three free pokeballs...
>server poops out and i walk home without being able to play

i mean its neat, but i see people acting like they're playing it for hours when it seems more like something you just check periodically and if there is a not shit pokemon nearby then you take 30 seconds to catch it

>>27062763

Less feet = closer to pokemon. If you've gone like half a mile without it changing then you need to reload the app because it got stuck.

I've also noticed that the radius for the circles for each footprint distance appear to be smaller the further in you go. So you have to walk awhile to see it go from three to two, then not as far to go from two to one, the at one you're pretty much right on top of.

>>27062622

it has a nearly 3x CP multiplayer on evolution, you have to be a real dipstick to fuck that up

>>27062733
>Don't question it, just enjoy it

I just realized what's causing it. My phone's GPS is fucked when I sit still. It starts jittering and causing me to jump around the map randomly every few minutes. When I "warp" to a new area, I'm immediately swarmed with Pokemon until my phone corrects itself.

Why are there 2 /pgg/ threads on the front page?

>tfw only one Gym anywhere near me

It's only got a 142 CP Venonat now but I know as soon as I go and capture that fucker some 1000+ Godmon is gonna come for me.

Do you want to throw the ball when the circle is big or little?

People keep saying little, but sometimes it says "nice" when I throw it when it's big.

>>27062820
awesome thanks for the advice, does selecting it do anything? or does it just put it in a little watch window for you?

>>27062786

For me it's more like either

>sitting in apartment
>grind out pidgeys and rattatas that appear with incense
>occasionally run out the door when I see something a little more uncommon with only two footprints

or
>early morning/evening when it's not blisteringly hot
>make a mile lap of the neighborhood to hit up a couple pokestops and see if I can find more Dratinis by the lakeside

Anyone figure out the speed at which you have to travel in a car to get points on your eggs?

>>27062786
How can you NOT get that it's a game that WANT you to get the fuck up and move?

And you look for stops and explore and that's it. And it's what the game is about, really, exploring. A lot of stops for me are on wall points I didn't even know existed, for example. As for the pokemons it's just a old hot-cold game. You ARE supposed to move yout ass with this one otherwise it loses the only small bit of interest it might have. It IS a social game.

>Magnemites
>are they good
Magnemite and Magneton are currently the only Steel-type Pokemon in the game.

Set some of those up at urban gyms and you'll easily wall most of the urban pokemon. You're immune to poison types (which most urban mons are part poison), you fuck up the flying types, resist the normal types, and you only really have to worry about the random ground type or a fearow with drill run.

>>27063728

Good moves, high natural CP (think IVs), and decent attacks. HP in particular is a good stat to look for since they tank lots of attacks.

Hi guys you should go on:
>>>/vg/

Videogame generals which focuses on ONE GAME are supposed to be on /vg/.

I'm not even hating on you guys let me explain:

You wouldn't have to make a general every second if you were on /vg/ because the bump limit is a lot more forgiving and there wouldn't be 10 Pokemon GO generals up at once.

Just make a thread on /vg/, you'll even be able to build a better community that way and help each other with less hater shitposts and more focusing community effort.
It's a better alternative for everyone.

Why? You never have to stop moving while playing this game as long as you're walking. Driving is dumb.

>>27063799
Meta is all golbats and other cheap but strong evolutions that are common.

As days and weeka go on expect to see more stronger cunts.

If you meant to ask, what the best strategy to play then ita level up asap and dont waste points till you find big pokemon.

You will level a lvl 100 who seems strong now but in a day you will find a 500 and regret it.

Lvl up, find big first form pokemon then evolve those. For example i have a lvl300 squirtle im going to evolve soon after having heaps of lvl 150-200 ones.
Expect to gain 200-300 cp when you evolve a cunt btw.

What the fuck? You think a pokemon game doesn't belong on the pokemon board? There have been shuffle generals for MONTHS

>>27063896
The thing is with /vg/ your thread will last longer and won't have shitty /vp/ haters on it.
It´ll also helps /vp/ to have less flooding from guys not posting in the generals.
I'm only saying this for you, I'm not here to shit on you or anything.
I'm browsing /vg/ a lot, and I know how great the communities develops by being there.

Anyone else with a fucked pokedex? When I try to see a pokemon it automatically changes to bulbasaur and crash the app

>>27063940
It's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that /pgg/ would be more productive on /vg/.
Just see how the bump limit already is reached on this board.

>>27063919
There's a 1HP bug going around that's fucking making gym battles nigh impossible lately.

I challenged three separate gyms yesterday and due to the 1HP glitch I ended up probably doing 10 battles between those three gyms. It got down to 1HP on the last pokemon, then the enemy stopped doing attacks, my attacks did no damage, the timer continued to run out, and then the timer hit 0 and the game just refused to accept that the battle had ended. Had to restart the app after every battle. Shit was infuriating.

The thing with /vg/ is that this is rightful /vp/ content and does belong here.

If people have issues with a game, that is their problem. I understand why you want the game off of /vp/, trust me I do. I've raged against the touhou threads and I've been crusading against the youtubers. Trust me, we all hate the underage. But moving the people who understand how the fuck things work here to another board is not going to change the fact that a pokemon game was released and people are excited about it. People are going to keep coming here and they are going to keep posting about it, regardless of if they are /vp/ users normally or not. Moving the general, the one form of order amongst all of the Go threads, will not bring you the solution you desire.


I appreciate your calm demeanor and coming in here good intentions because it's nice. But also understand that the best case for this is for people to stop being so knee-jerk response over this because it's only going to lead to more shitposting. Let the hype die out and things will improve.

when should i use incense? i just started

>>27064037
if that's the case, use incense + LUCKY EGGS so you can level up fast

When you dont plan on going outside, doing chores around the house, taking a shit, laying in bed.

Basically any time you aren't planning on moving around great distances but want to play the game.

What team are you, what's the area like, and what CP is your Pidgeot?

>Walked ~12 km today. Over 20,000 steps, which should be enough to hatch and egg in the games.
>Egg only registered 3.2 km because the game kept freezing and my battery died half way through.

I think I need a new phone or this is going to take a while. I can usually only catch 3-4 pokemon before it freezes up and I have to restart my phone. I can't even exit the game without restarting my phone even when it is working correctly, so I have to catch something to trigger an auto save to make my distance count.

>>27064055
i dont start with a lucky egg tho

>>27063963
for one, you need to have a reliable eevee source. it's very common in most areas near me

at level 11 about 20% of eevees I see are 300+

eevee is the only single evolution I know of that can evolve for only 25 candies

it also has the highest CP multiplier I know of at nearly 300%

thus my team and I are swimming in 300+ eevees and able to evolve them quickly into 900+ buttfuckers

What can you get from 5km and 10km eggs?

Oh fuck shinies confirmed?

>>27064136
5km tend to be more uncommon pokemon and 10km I've heard tend to be rarer mons like fossils, hitmons, and lapras.

How do I get more Pokestops near my house?
Do I have to submit landmarks through Ingress?

>no pokeball left
>nearest pokestop is 2km away

>>27064023
I see. I just hope the flooding faggot will stop, because /pgg/ guys are fine since it's a closed community, but the /vp/ spammers are fucking annoying.

Only $5 for 100 more, goy. How could you pass up such a bargain?
I mean, it's not like people living in busy areas get endless supplies for literally free, or anything
