Pokemon Go Genreal - /pgg/

1st for Instinct

First for how do we counter humongous Snorlaxes?

Evolved all of these with a lucky egg at level 17.

Arcanine is focking gay in this game

>>27182830
Honestly just pray for a good Pokemon with a Fighting-type move that's also XL or XS to improve its capabilities. Having a Chansey or Snorlax of your own certainly helps.

Also can anybody confirm if this is bullshit or not?

http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2016/07/guide_pokemon_go_monster_types_and_where_to_find_them

Wayyy too many normies play this damn game. Normie decline when?

>>27182863
Would a rock type with fighting moves be viable to resist the hyper beam? Then again, earthquakes are gonna take it apart. This is bullshit...

Should I power up before evolving or does it not matter?

Does size have to do with anything?

>>27182817
>>27182817
>What country has this game been released in?
>Officially: Australia, New Zealand, Germany

OP, Italy, Spain and Portugal can play since today as well.

Reds need to uninstall

How am I going to an American city that's not even big and finding hundreds of people and dozens of stops and monsters like what is this

How do I more Growliths?

>>27182895
That's one of the more optimal ways, but good luck finding those though.

Also Snorlaxes are rare, and it's usually one move or the other, so as long as you analyze one person's specific snorlax you should be good.

>>27182902
Powering up is irrelevant. Save stardust. Stronger pokemon will spawn and outclass whatever you train once you continue leveling up.

No one knows for certain the functions of Size/Weight.

>>27182863
>that's also XL or XS to improve its capabilities
What does the XS/XL influence exactly?

>>27182902
Evolve then do candies. Make sure your Pokemon is at a naturally high CP first so you don't have to spend too much candies and benefit from a huge CP boost in evolution.

>>27182902
Nothing confirmed, though it's commonly speculated that XS = more reaction time and dodging in gym battles/more CP, and XL means more bulky and HP.

Feels good man.

>>27183030

How much does Gyarados gain in cp relative to its magikarp? i've never caught a karp over cp 30. granted, i have about 385 more to go. did you start with a higher carp or do they just boost well?

>>27183059
Thats going to be a strong gyarados when you do get those candies though.

>>27183067
When exams are over I'll drive to the coast until I've got it and maxed it out.

>>27183030
Ive not seen a single magikarp

I have a Seel, Staryu, Poliwag, poliwhirl, Seaking and Shelder, but not a single magikarp

>>27183067
Good luck. I don't know why but some coast lines don't have the little bastards as much as they should.

WHERE ARE THE SHINIES

A lot of fields are a darker shade of green. Is this meant to be tall grass, and you find more pokemon in fields?

Can you get rid of an egg? It says I have 9/9 eggs, does that mean I won't be able to pick up any more? Other than the ones in incubation, all I've got are 2km. Those are lame though and I want the 5kms

>>27182946
I wish that want the case, one of the games biggest flaws IMO. You go up one level and suddenly find fully evolved Pokemon with 2x the CP as the ones you've got. Which basically means there's no point in powering up until you're at least level 15+, because powered up mons become obsolete so quickly. And evolving is only good for the XP. Devs really should have showed that down, give only a small CP boost to wild Pokemon when you level up

>>27183134
>2km eggs hatch Squirtles, Charmanders nad Bulbasaurs

Afternoon guys, no phone anon from yesterday. I have been looking arround for some phones that cover my price range and have the required specifications for go and have found three that I like:

Asus Zenphone Go ZC500TG, Acer Liquid Z630 and Huawei Honor 5c. Asus is the cheaper one and the other two are the same price but the diference between Asus adn the other two is nothing major.

http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?&sSearch2=&idPhone3=8074&idPhone2=7528&idPhone1=7368

Asus:5.1,2g ram, removable battery
Acer:5.1, 2g ram, removable battery
Huawei:6.0, 2g ram, unremovable battery

Any of you have any of this phones and are playing on them? Any problems?

For those that were here yesterday and feel like helping me today pick a phone, yesterday I started with an LG Magna but it only had 1gig Ram and another anon said he was having problems with his gps on his phone so I discarded it.

I have 2 cp 137 magikarps

1. 12.05 kg & .96 m
2. 8.44 kg & .8 m

which should I evolve

>>27183149
I feel like Tiers or grouping would be more relevant of a fighting mechanic in this game.
>Pokemon of a certain Power range can only fight pokemon of the same range
>Gyms have a Beginner, Intermediate and Expert positions for the different ranges
>Anyone of any team can fill those postions as long as they beat the previous winner and claim it.
>Experts and their affiliated team get more of bonus compared to intermediate and beginner.

So hypothetically you could have a Valor in the Expert seat of the gym, a Mystic in the Intermediate and an Instinct in Beginner. The Expert seatholder gets more of a coin bonus or something.

>>27182905

It'll ping green when you're going in the right direction of the Pokemon. The nearby box of course. It's still hard af sometimes when the Pokemon is 3 footprints long even after walking like 2km or so.

>>27183363
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9

The nearby function is arranged this way. The closer they are to one, the closer they are to you. Walk in a direction and see if they get closer, if not, walk in another direction, do process of elimination, etc, etc.

I've been playing this for a couple of days now (only level 9), and there's something I don't quite understand;

Why aren't there really any Pokémon outside of the cities? Or is it just me?

I've been on a couple of walks, and whenever I'm crossing a large field or a forest, I can walk for miles without anything happening - is this normal?

I guess the only thing happening is my eggs hatching every now and then, but I might as well be walking in the city to pass by stops and catch some birds and whatnot.

>>27183090
Not introduced yet. Hopefully they'll bring them up in the next big update. Fuck Mewtwo, I need my golden karp and angry dragon.

>>27183384
Eh I'm glad with the team. I saw two Mystics today. One was a 20 something with long thin greasy hair past his shoulders with a cap on hiding in a bench at the park. The other one was an overweight 40 plus year old with a blue hat and shirt on a bike clutching his phone for dear life.

>>27183394

On top of that, reward money should just go to defeating a gym rather than taking it and the cash out time should be greatly reduced. Put more incentive towards defating as much as you can and stacking the reward money before cashing out. Holding a gym should reward double or something since the gyms are always getting tossed around within seconds.

Lets say servers can at most have 99999 wild pokemon at once.
Should we distribute them equally random around the globe or should we put more in dense urban areas?

My guess is their system works by calculating how many clients there are per square in a 1/2km grid around the globe, and increasing wild pokemon on squares with more clients.

Pretty shitty for rural areas but does save them resources.

>>27183498
To some extent the Pokemon pop up the same spot for everyone. Eg, my friends and I both had a Mankey at the same time last night. Niantic probably didn't want to manage that across larger s areas so they stick to cities. Which is really dumb, and they could still have poke Mon just pop up randomly in rural areas without needing to sync everything. It really did bother me that the places with the most IRL wildlife have the fewest pokeMon it seems , and cities are crawling with them

Does anybody know if rural areas, especially places like state parks, at least have some unique types that can't be found in cities?

>>27183552
Moves get randomized when evolving. Only evolve Pokemon with close to max CP, look at the white half-circle bar.

Don't power up Pokemon until you get to level 20 or higher, it's a waste, you'll catch something stronger anyway.

>>27183578
I do think I'll find stronger stuff but I still mostly only find stuff <100 (40-70's). Is that normal?

I caught a Rattata, an Exeggcute, and a Pidgey.

What's the real deal with egg distance? Is it just gps tracking or does it actually track the pedometer too? Swear I wasn't getting any distance on my treadmill.

>>27183535
It's the closest mon to you, so might as well before it starts to move.

>>27183573
Rural areas have:
>Almost no pokestops if any
>Less wild pokemon
>Less variety of pokemon (Rarity is the same as urban areas, but less wild pokemon mean less rare pokemon)
>Higher chance of freezing due to poor cellphone reception

So I'm assuming people who used their Pokemon Trainer Club account are in a ton of shit right now, right?

>>27183570
But it didn't have to be server side. I get that out makes it cool to have your friends all find the same Pokemon together, but for rural areas they could just have a randomizer for the user, not have poke locations synced on a server, and just tell the server whenever you catch a Pokemon. Basically the way other Pokemon games work hbecaus you play solo without internet.

>>27183597
At level 8? Yeah.

Keep levelling up and focus on gaining EXP and getting mons/candies and don't sweat the gym stuff until you're at least 13-20. Level 13 is when you start seeing good mons.

>>27183613
It's possible for everyone to get it.

>>27183527
I got that, if you delete your google account in the settings then they appear.

>>27183622
So should I be farming these things to evolve for XP?

>>27183633
Alright. So basically evolve and don't power up until later?

Someone should add the Go wiki to the OP next time.

>>27183264
A simple UI feature that lets you see the distance to the Pokemon (that's the footprints. Fewer is closer) instead of having the entire 9 Pokemon grid open. Nothing more.

Oh my god what
This game is hilarious some times.

Thats only the 800th time today Ive seen that! Congrats! Im going to write Team Valor on something just to piss you off more. Im not Valor

>>27183651
Collect enough Pidgeys, Weedles and Caterpies and respective candies to spam the evolve button for 30 minutes, then pop and egg and evolve until it runs out. Never evolve anything without a lucky egg running. Especially if the evolution isn't in your pokedex yet.

will I be able to find pokemon outside if the game hasn't been released in my country? I got muh bulbassaur but I'm pretty sure that'll be it for now

>Alright. So basically evolve and don't power up until later?
Yeah you can evolve, but preferably if your captured mon is near its maximum CP when you catch it.

>So should I be farming these things to evolve for XP?
You should be catching EVERYTHING (except Zubat, fuck that thing), but Pidgeys and Ratatas especially since they have a low level-up requirement, allowing you to gain a large amount of EXP fast when you level them up.

With a lucky egg, approximately 10 evolved pidgeys will level you up at a high level.

>>27183570
Well, shit.

I guess it's just more fun for the people in Central Park since they can probably catch all the Pokémon in a week and have them all be 10,000 CP.

I'm in Denmark. 10km outside of a real city.
My town has 3 'stops and there are Pokémon in people's gardens, sure. But it seems to be mostly weedles, pidgeys, etc.

Not really sure if the game is officially released here, but I've seen tons of people walking around looking at their phone - even more so since it was on the news the other day.

I've got a 500-something Pidgeot as my most fed fighter, but it's like bringing an AK-47 to a nuclear arms race when I'm going to the city and there are hordes of 2000+ gym defenders everywhere...

Just hatch them. Worse case, you get extra stardust and another pokemon to feed yo the candy machine.

>>27183107
This happened the other night. Was stuck so I couldn't even try.

The 1+ phones are great. Can highly recommend.

Get whatever phone can run the game as smoothly as possible, within your price range, and put part of your phone budget towards a good powerbank.

But I have heard rumors that when they start introducing legendary Pokemon, only one can get it at a time. Dunno if that will be true though. You could have some IRL fights if that happens

>>27183712
Plus a Lucky Egg when you're in 17-20.

>>27183715
You get some lucky eggs for level ups. They give you double exp. You get 500 exp for every evolution, Pidgey to Pidgeotto aswell as Dragonair to Dragonite. You get extra exp for new entries.

>>27183717
None that I know of, but you can quick access the app from the top tray.

>>27183721
No one cares family, there's plenty of loners looking at their phone even before GO existed. At least you have a better excuse now that it's released.

They need to fix this problem. Either have the pokemon just leave the nearby list or make the tracking system not garbage.

>>27183715
Lucky eggs double your experience. When you get a new pokemon that registers to your dex, you get EXP. So lucky egg will double your EXP when you add a new pokemon to your dex.

once you have 2 or more of the same fully evolved type do you start spawing them in the wild?

Ive been seeing a lot of golducks, slowbros and exeggutors near my house

Does this mean I spawn them for other players?

I play alone 50% of the time anon. I get held back when I'm with my friends unless we tackle a gym, because mostly they just sit around lures and pokéstops, while I'm trying to walk, hatch eggs, and solo gyms on my own.

I'ts a bug, there's untrackable 3 step Pokemon and the "near lists" are getting full with them, so yes restart the app before hunting down anything

What are the differences between the eggs?

>>27183775
Why would you drop them? You know how eggs work right? 2km net you the early Pokemon (based on how they are on the dex) so you can potentially get the starters more often.

Yeah I access it from the luckysomething apk app. Wish there was a way to auto walk, I don't want to get banned for constantly teleporting a few meters. I'm trying to play fair and simulate normal walking speeds instead of teleporting around until I find rare mons.

>>27183821
I'm scared

Say; I started with a Bulbasaur and haven't seen one ever since.

Am I doing something wrong?

The other day I saw a Charmander in the "nearby" list, but I was on the highway - in the passenger seat (not American), so I couldn't get to it.

Do the starters pop up randomly in the cities or what?

I haven't played Pokémon since the Gold game and I remember you'd have to trade people to get the starters.
Unless you had that Pokémon Stadium game for the N64, of course.
At least that's how I got the other starters along with some of those fossilized Kabutos and whatnot.

>>27183844
Nah mang i have all the starters

>>27183797
A few so far. I kept meeting up with a guy from LA who was here on business (Bamafag here) and we were hustling in the name of Valor.

And I've met a few new locals. This game is pretty neat.

Starters are just randomly found like everything else. Until recently I haven't found any other Charmanders so chances are that your starter will end up being useless or replaced by a higher level version of it.

>>27183790
I did not realize that, thanks anon. Had a squirtle hatch from a 5km and never anything good out of 2s so I figured they were only good for candies and dust.

But how?

Egg-walking is the only thing I can think of.
Got me a Gastly and a Krabby.

My sister got an Electabuzz from a 10km egg, so now I'm walking two 10km eggs.
Is it better to start with the 2 or 5km eggs?
Or does it matter fuck-all since the chance of getting a weedle is the same in both 2 or 10km eggs?

>>27183878
I'm in northern Bama. Specifically Huntsville. I haven't really searched more than downtown and shopping centers, and cemeteries. Lots of water types around us strangely enough.

>>27183863
Poland here, it's the same. Saw a gypsy conquering a Mystic gym today for team valor, go figure.

I've been thing thinking about possible expansions for PoGo already that would please both the original game players, and the new group that's been reintroduced to the first 151 Pokemon through Go. I don't think they should just release the Pokemon from generation 2 next, because then fans of the old game will already know what's coming, and where the game would be heading from there, with gens 3, 4, 5, coming after. And knowing another 620 Pokemon are on the way might be overwhelming to the current PoGo players. I know it would be for me, and I just got finished completing my Pokedex on X/Y and Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire.

How about instead they tie in the next Pokemon Go expansion with the new monsters coming out with Pokemon Sun and Moon first, OR just make up entirely new Pokemon just for Pokemon Go that not even the original game players wouldn't know about. That way there's still incentive to play Pokemon Go that would keep both parties perspectives fresh and exciting. I'd personally love to see a Pokemon's shadow on the tracker for a Pokemon that I've never seen before.

How about y'all? Do you want them to eventually follow up with Johto - Alola regions in order? Or something entirely new that no one has ever seen before? >>27183944

>>27183933

>>27183965
Depends on the region, south america was empty last time I checked. Most other regions you're most likely from can catch already.

>>27183965
If other people can do it, you can do it.

Just be prepared to have your data erased when they decide to officially release it in your country.

>>27183963
I`d like for gen 1 to be the base game for everyone, and then the other gens/regions be assigned to certain continents

>tfw very few pokespots in my hometown even though it's a suburb

So the game was just muting itself for some reason all the time.. and I finally figured out it's because when you start charging the battery the sound cuts out.

This happen to anyone else?

>>27183978
yeah, I`m from SA

i`ll walk around downtown and check

>>27183968
A trick to get a guaranteed throw is to swipe at the screen before it zooms out when you run into a pokemon. You'll probably not catch it but it is a guaranteed hit.
Also turning off AR makes it easier to throw balls

>>27183963
I'd personally prefer if they released them in order. Most people who are playing this are nostalgiafags and normies. I'm pretty sure most wouldn't recognize after the fourth gen and by that time only the truly dedicated will be playing this game.

At least I hope...

>>27183968
I had the same problem. Looked into it and I'm pretty sure it's because my phone doesn't have a gyroscope. It's only 2 years old.

>>27183789
the longer the egg, the better the pokemon you get

>>27183968
>How do I git gud at catching pokes?
Try using your dominant thumb if you have been using your index finger.

>AR mode isn't working on my phone, something about the not finding my phone. Anyone got a fix?

Your phone doesn't have a gyroscope. Only fix is getting a phone that does.

I've only been at it since Monday, still figuring it out.

I'm level 9, most of my level comes from evolving Pidgeys into Pidgeottos and transferring them for candy.

Gaining EXP from gyms is a huge time sink - 10 EXP per mock battle against my own Krabby after I trashed the residing Hypno.

Rural walking is a decent enough pastime since I have nothing else to do these days.
>between jobs
>moved out of my apartment
>everything I own is in boxes
It won't change for at least 10 days apart from going to my family's summerhouse.

At least it's close to a church, so I suppose I can hang out at the stop there.
Failing that, there's the harbor which should let me fish out those 400 Magikarps... fug me.

If the weather gets better than the forecast, I might as well go to the beach, Pokémon or not.

>>27184015
>Suburbs have shit for landmarks.
There are a ton of landmarks in my suburbs, just no pokestops. Fucking hell, I saw a pokestop in a city that was literally just an ash tray. Landmarks don't mean shit. There are no pokestops in the suburbs / rural areas because cities = money.

Questions for people:

>Datini
ive found one. The next day i found another on the exact same spot. Anyone else find them this way? are some always appearing in the same location?

>"i caught it before some hipster shit caught it"
in ingress, walking around collected energy dots. These were client side, and anyone else playing had their own energy dots to collect. No one could walk around stealing them from an area so that others couldnt have them cuz everyone had their own; only the stops were what people contest over. In P:GO, are pokemon visible to the individual and 2 people in the same spot wouldnt steal them from each other? or is it that way?

>radar
i know the radar is shit, but ill see something go from 1 footprint to instantly-gone when i take just a few steps. Walking around yields random shit that isnt coinciding with the radar at all. Is it currently completely worthless other than a vague idea of what types might be around you?

also, confirm if:
>freezing screen when the pokemon enters the ball

>screen becomes un-interact-able yet still tracks movement; you just cant tap on anything and have to restart

>app freezes like the previous statement about once every 1-5 min on average

>if your app freezes as stated, does it happen more coming off the battery saver black screen or just the same amount whether it goes into that screen or not?

>>27184053
>hopefully I can land trick shots consistently now.
Don't do this. Trick shots aren't worth it. Just do the easiest way of landing the ball. Later in the game pokemon will start requiring 10+ balls on average anyway.

>>27183944
No but there have been cop protesters lately

>>27184057
>evolve a shitton of pokemon with a lucky egg on

You didn't evolve a shitton then. I did 17 to 19 with one egg and skipped from 20 to 22 the same way.

>>27184066
>ive found one. The next day i found another on the exact same spot. Anyone else find them this way? are some always appearing in the same location?

I just found out that you can request gyms and pokestops at Niantic's support website. There is a big main that's actually kind of famous nationally, and it has tons of well known shops, yet the only pokestop is a tiny Native American museum. I'm gonna snap some picks and see if I can get the added.

Yeah, the radar is fucked, I had a Drowzee near the bottom of my list this morning and it popped up anyway.

>>27184099
Players with lots of free time will team up and play together, using lures and lucky eggs to mass level, going out three or four times a day to hunt. Dunno why the poor fucks even bother with gyms, but at least it gives me a way to track their activity.

>>27184071
Don't they give extra experience though?

>>27184147
>>inb4 they don't cause it's not a city
I mean, my suburban neighborhood entrance was added as a Pokestop even though it's the same as literally any other entrance out there with no landmark, so I'm sure they'll add with good reason.

>>27184127
I'm hardly a basement dwelling robot but everyone lashing out at the term normie is just exuding newfag. How long have you been here? 2 weeks? Since Go started? Where do you think you are? I know /vp/ is newfag den but christ.

>>27184161
Yes, but good luck hitting anything with them.

When you start getting great balls in pokestops, does this mean more items or just a greatball instead of a pokeball?

The best I've ever gotten from a pokestop was +5 pokeballs. So does that mean I could get 5 pokemons and 1 great ball?

>>27184161
Once you hit higher levels balls become much more valuable while the extra xp gain stays the same, not worth it at that point.

>>27183797

>grass, more rare birds, so on, appears more in fields/parks
>normal shit appears in developed areas
>stuff locked to their type of area; so onyx and geodude would be mountain type areas, drier land would get sandshrew and other deserty types. Cities or just very developed areas have polution, poison, and electric types. They would be real common for people who live there but not for people who dont
>filling out a pokedex would require actually traveling a bit or trading with people who went there; some just get traded around and migrate this way.

of course, ghosts in a cemetery would be bad press cuz it turns cemeteries into a game mechanic; im sure people there cuz of a lost loved one would get seriously angry.

People try talking to me all the time. We talk and then we go on our way.

How the fuck do you make friends without being an annoying shit? You're just playing a game. Try to pick up chicks in a bar or something.

I'm going to Santa Monica tomorrow. What should I expect?

There are people on this board RIGHT NOW who are worse than Pewdiepie at Pokemon Go

im level 20 and ive never gotten a 10km egg. fml

Yeah, I'm just shocked that none of the locally famous buisnesses were in the game. I guess not many people in my hometown played Ingress. I can kinda tell when one of the gym's is just a sign for a local park while another sign just a few meters away is a pokestop.

Enjoy having Google sell all your data to third party companies.

I dont have 3g internet so i cant catch pokemon :'(

>>27184213
but they want chicks that play Pokémon

>>27184209
Considering the fact that the 9/11 memorial is in the game, anything is possible at this point.

>>27184110
For the time being. Vaporean, Snorlax, Gyarados. They the big dogs at the gyms.

>cant change your name, clothes or gender
this will get added eventually right?

Alright, thanks for the help guys.

So allegedly, Farferched is an Asia region exclusive; it has been found in Korea with pics (Reddit and twitter) and Japan (no proof pic)

Is Mime a Europe exclusive? and Kangaskhan an Australian one? Can anyone confirm seeing these in the states?

Has PTC been hacked? Have they stolen my password?

This message is very odd and suspicious

>>27184258
I'm pretty happy with the clothes they give us in the character creation, but that would be nice.

>>27184258
I hope so.
>you'll have to pay

>>27183301

I called T-Mobile out to do this on my meme page days ago

>>27184281
>Have they stolen my password?
Oh no someone has stolen my password to my PTC account! Someone save my digital Pokemon cards!

>>27184250
>go to 9/11 memorial
>catch a ghost type
>name it "Mom"
>cry

>>27184271
That just seems unfair to limit certain pokemon to certain regions, since not everyone can afford a trans-continental plane ticket.
>hey Mom can we go to Korea
>why son
>because I want to catch fucking farfetch'd

Is PTC EVER going to get its shit together?

anyone here from berlin?

>>27184312
I think it's to encourage tourism for each country equally, pretty witty

Trading will abolish that though

HTB going all out on this one.

>>27184271
All the Farfetch'd were eaten. Mr. Mime and Khangaskan have been seen. Nothing is specific to any one country. That would be retarded.

>allegedly
>doesn't show any of the pictures from Reddit and Twitter
>(no proof pic)
Why did you bother making this post.

>>27184312
I'm sure people can still hatch them no matter the region

Ptc is under maintenance

>tfw I can't do the spin thing on the pokeball to make it work
>tfw whenever I spin and aim it never hits, it goes waaaaay off the mark

am I just retarded or what

So besides the legendaries has every pokemon been found yet? I haven't seen a ditto or a farfetch'd anywhere online.

What does it mean?

Same here. Even resetted my password.

>>27184347
Hey, people connected what are now pokestops to create ownership regions in Ingress, and in order to do this you need an item you get for visiting those locations
Very often, people would connect spots and create a field over the entire atlantic or pacific ocean.
Shit from other countries leak in, get traded, so on. No worries. Tho i do expect when trading comes about that some people would sell them for real world money

yeah you must be. Curveballs are easy bro. Try to slow your spinning action down before you flick. Also dont flick so hard. Fucking hell. You must be mystic.
