Can US players hatch a mr mime or is only cheating ( spoofing) the only way possible?

Niatanic is listen to Japan over the US. If as a whole Japan throws a fucking shitfit and stops playing and buying items you can bet your ass they will make changes.
>>
>>27449245
Since when?
>>
>>27449289
Japan has already sponsored the next 3 events including McDonalds.

Also, if the Japanese people turn on the game Nintendo will likely step in and help to mend the wound.
>>
>>27449289
Niantic are huge weebs m8, always have been.

Ingress was the same dealio apparently.

Still when I told my friends this game will be kill by the end of summer they got pissy and told me I was full of shit, apparently they like playing broken games they keep having mechanics ripped out of them with no word on why or when they'll be reapplied.
>>
Why are all fire types except for Growlithe so rare? I want my Vulpix and Charmander and Ponyta, dammit.
>>
>>27449308
I don't see how does that prove that Niantic will do anything. Nintendo's not doing anything either even before today, they're just getting a bit of the revenue because they own part of the Pokemon IP, and everytime they open their retarded mouths their stock drops a bit more.
>>
>>27449328
Any examples of them responding to Japanese feedback inmediately?
>>
>>27449342
I have yet to see or hatch anything from the Charmander line. I don't get it.
>>
>>27449342
I actually found like 3 fire-types after since the first like week for the first time all in the same day but it was while I was driving so I wasn't going to do anything to try and find them. Never seen them since.
>>
>>27449342
You're still playing this game?
>>
>>27449384
Growlithe seem super common here (not Pidgey/Rattata common, but they pop up Nearby all the time), but I've only caught a single Vulpix, seen two Ponyta, and caught one single Charmander. That's it.

Yeesh.

Hatched this today, I'll never get enough candy to even evolve it into a charmeleon, first time I've ever seen it
>>
We need them to remove the onerous capture difficulty immediately, even before tracking comes back. What's the point of finding shit if the game refuses to let you catch it?
>>
>>27449435
I'd think Growlithe would be more common on the same basis that Eevee seems pretty common around (and I guess Vulpix), but I've only ever seen it, Vulpix, and Charmander that one day and all at once.
>>
>>27449435
I live on an island and I'm close to the sea.

You'd think the pier would be teeming with water types, espcially the lure that is litteraly 10 feet from the water right?

Nope, fucking drowsee and route 1 shit everywhere.

And even if you do find water types, it's always gay shit like goldeen or magikarp, which is fine if you want to catch 101 of them for a gyarados.

4 solid days of walking that route for multiple hours has gotten me barely enough candies for a golduck, now I just need to wait until I get a good psyduck.

I've caught like 4 poliwag and 8 tentacool in that time as well, game is so fucking biased towards "urban" pokemon even if you a coastal town it hurts.

Lets just forget about the fact that you can't find any fire types or anything really cool because the spawns are so sparse out of the town that you can't even go on a "hunt" for anything "exotic".

Then factor in the lack of scanners or even a working nearby function in the game and I'm about done with it.

My friends think I'm crazy for shitting on the game getting worse and worse with every update, they'll keep playing it and having "fun" throwing balls at cp 20 pidgeys until sun and moon come out I expect.

Is anyone else having issues like mine? This has happened since yesterday after the update, which is weird because my game has been fully functional since release date.

Every time I try to log in to my Google account, it authenticates, and then skips the loading screen to go straight to the typical server issues error screen. It won't ever do anything else.

I'm also sure it's an issue with the game on my phone, and not my account. I've tried other accounts on my phone, and they won't work, and I've successfully tried my account on a friend's phone. It's just like suddenly my game client is not letting me play.

I have an IPhone 5S. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, as well as shutting my phone off and on, to no avail. pls help thanks

This is correct, Niantic has special preference with Japan given their Ingress fans over there are very concentrated compared to everywhere else. That is why they always hold events in Japan and make Japan only exclusives a constant thing.

The only other place that gets remotely close to the same preference is California, since its where their HQ is based in. That is until they finally decide to move over to Japan entirely and become a Japanese company.

>>27449351
It's not so much that Nintendo is making/not making money from GO rather than the fact that one of their biggest IP's is getting globally tarnished in the public eye. Nintendo will likely step in at some point if Niantic does not pull some kind of damage control to save GO from being universally hated.

>>27451476
Tryharding and literally playing the game at all are two really different things.

The tryhards were the botfags and the people who location spoofed and those are the people who don't care

The people playing the game how it was meant to be played are the ones suffering for it because this makes it harder to find literally any Pokemon besides rattata and pidgey, not just specifically the good ones.

They removed the 3 step glitch

by removing steps entirely

And instead of fixing any of the problems with the game or adding new features, we got cosmetic and UI changes(besides a couple of balance patches on moves, which I appreciate, but is honestly too little too late at the moment)
>>
btw is it possible to get the legendary birds, mew/mewtwo?

i mean theyre coded but i dont know locations
>>
>>27451678
Pretty much. ORAS I didn't think had nearly that bad of a negative reception, but XY seemed almost universally seen as a step down, and that didn't stop either game from being successful.
>>
>>27451708
They're event only and ditto is also apparently not in the game unless there's some easter egg everyone's missing.
>>
>>27451697
That won't tell me whether it has 80%, 90% or 99%. I prefer my solution. Also one option doesn't exclude the other.
>>
>>27451708
Not yet, and no they aren't 'coded' otherwise people would have them by now if they were in the game. (Cheating)

But if you feel like it, rumor is you can get Mew/Mewtwo at Area 51. :^)
>>
>>27451708
they'll be special events, even if the servers glitch out and spawn them they have a catch rate of 0
>>
>>27451718
>Pretty much
So you're agreeing with me that they don't do shit when their IPs get tarnished in the public eye.
>from being succesful
They are the lowest selling mainline games. If they are okay with them selling that low and getting negative reception from their fanbase, then they sure as shit won't bother with a game that not only did they not make at all but also is still crazy succesful.
>>
>>27451718

I'm sorry, what made X/Y better at all compared to the previous ones for you?

I was a different anon, but yeah, they generally don't. Everyone that's followed the series and has half a brain knows that the series has slowly been stagnating for years, with BW (arguably) being the only real bright spot. Personally I'm pretty confident that S/M will be pretty neat too, but perhaps that's wishful optimism.

I mean, wouldn't the server issues be fixed if you banned the people running 6 different bots at once?

No more like how Nintendo sent out C&D's to Rule #34 sites to remove Pokemon #34 because it was making them look bad.

Nintendo entrusted Niantic to deliver a game that most knew would have an insane popularity. The IP has never been this revived in popularity since the original Gen1/2 days. Its a big fucking deal that Niantic is shitting the bed with the IP and is causing the biggest revival of the Pokemon franchise to be turned upon its ass and fucked to death.

Do you really think Nintendo will stand for that?

>>27451808
The Maingame was great when comparing to the other generations' first mainline games. BW was a straight line. D/P was Gamefreak getting a D+ in handling 3D Graphic rendering and is borderline unplayable nowadays compared to literally every single other game, including the ones before it. R/S were about equal to XY in postgame content, but had pacing issues in the maingame, especially once you hit the 5th gym. Gen 2 was great overall honestly for the time. Gen 1 started it all, but doesn't have much beyond that. Especially if you play the virtual console releases and see how dated it is conceptually.

The biggest thing was that Platinum fixed most of D/P's issues, Emerald expanded heavily on R/S, and BW2 saved Unova's region(along with that sweet PWT).

XY had some good concepts going in. The models look nice, albeit the colors could use some work. The environments are well designed, and a lot of people praise the game from the first gym until Korrina and Mega Evolutions are introduced.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_X_and_Y#Reception
Those are the scores that Pokemon XY recieved. Yeah, there were a lot of issues. But it's not like they pulled a DmC and trashed the series or anything.

Yes because they've never done jack shit before in response to their ''IPs getting tarnished''. If that C&D thing happened then it was probably by some retarded PR guy who didn't what he was doing and his actions were quickly undone. Remember when they acknowledged that Other M was bad? Me neither.

Other M did not have a fanbase that reached high enough to affect Nintendo's stocks directly though.

Pokemon GO is far different than anything Nintendo has ever put themselves behind. All the more so that they are not the primary profiteer of the transactions made from the game let alone even developed it.

This is a game that has reached beyond and to a global social level of knowledge. You cannot mishandle something that big as the backlash from the public would fucking destroy everything in the way of the IP.

Pokemon does, it's popular worldwide, and they didn't do shit in response to X/Y's and ORAS' mediocre sales and fan negativity. Go is doing far better than those, what makes you think they'll do something for this and not the aforementioned?

Look up "Ingress Japan" and come back to me with that.

Before GO was a thing Niantic made their connection with Japan via Ingress. It became such a favored hit over there that Niantic went out of their way with giving them exclusive events, benefits and even in game items only obtainable IN JAPAN. Making company tie ins with the game IN JAPAN.

Even Pokemon GO's first tie in with McDonalds is limited to where? IN JAPAN.

Ingress folk have been saying it for years now, if it was not for the fact that the HQ was based in California you would have thought they were a Japanese based company.
>>
>>27452041
>How the hell?
By exactly how I said. R/B, R/S, D/P, and B/W were awful and redeemed by their remakes. But you can't judge XY, which probably would've been fixed with Z, compared to Platinum, Emerald, and BW2.

>Pfft, Platinum is sucked endlessly in this site, try convincing anyone that it's ''borderline unplayable'', especially to X/Y being god awful in every aspect.
Show me literally one person who says the same thing about D/P though.
Platinum was there to fix D/P's complaints. What was there to fix XY's?

>No, just no. You didn't see people claiming the series had died when those games came out.
Yes I did. Those are the people I call autistic genwunners and shouldn't be considered in anything.

>Other M had good scores too
XY has an 8.6 on Metacritic in user reviews and an 87 on metascore.

Other M has a 79 on metascore and a 6.5 on user reviews.

>>27452120
>But what about X/Y? But What about this?

Irrelevant. As I said before Pokemon's original hype was around Gen1/2 where it became fucking culture defining for its time. After that the series may have still went on and sure there may have had its continuing support of fans to the series but nothing was nearly as big in terms of Pokemon being popular in the public eye than in the Late 90's/Early 2000's.

GO basically taps that original generation. Those who were fans in the 90's/Early 2000's that loved the games/series/culture but have moved on since. GO brings them back to the game and makes it so that they have reason to want to play again. Not needing some kind of special handheld console and focusing on using Smartphones creating a wider more accessible audience with the primary focus to get all the fans old and new back into the game regardless of how old you are.

I mean you clearly do not understand that we are not talking about the diehard fans who existed from Gen1 and continued to buy every single game/handheld since. I am talking about the GLOBAL POPULACE that has become invested in this game again. No one cares about the niche groups, only the large ones that make enough of an outcry that it can make or break your public image and company.

>By exactly how I said. R/B, R/S, D/P, and B/W were awful and redeemed by their remakes.

Course I can, it's considered hot garbage, unlike previous Pokemon games. People just don't have fun in it, the overworld and progression are abysmal, there's less Pokemon than any other game and the game forces old gens onto you for the most part, the mega evolution mechanic disgusted people and the characters are annoying for the most part, especially your partners.
>Show me literally one person who says the same thing about D/P though.
D/P/Pt as a whole gets praised way more than X/Y. Pt didn't even fix much, hell it added an extra annoying area.
>Yes I did. Those are the people I call autistic genwunners and shouldn't be considered in anything.
Where? I didn't see those games getting
a) Bad sales
b) Bad fan reception
c) Mediocre critic reception
In comparison to previous titles.

Well just look at the metacritic scores (87) and compare them to past titles. The sales are as low as 14 million, the lowest in the franchise. Also fan negativity? Just look at /v/, /vp/ or any other Pokemon board, people were angry at the fewer mons than usual, lack of post game content and forced mega evolution mechanic.

/v/ and /vp/ are not representative of the opinions of the playerbase at large. The metacritic score of BW was 87 (bw2 was lower). Sales are low in comparison due to, again, the 3DS install base, and they are actually the highest selling 3DS games https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/sales/software/3ds.html and boosted 3DS sales http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/11/21/pokemon-x-and-y-fastest-3ds-title-to-hit-1-million-sales
>X and Y also resulted in a 135 percent sales increase for platforms in the 3DS family –– which includes the namesake system and the Nintendo 2DS –– and is also the fastest-selling title in Nintendo eShop history.
>>
>>27452459
>none of them were classified as terrible
Several people will disagree entirely with that every single day with you that BW, D/P, and R/S were all terrible.
Even within /vp/, most people wouldn't rate the game below like a 7/10 because at its base, it's still a Pokemon game that didn't do anything wrong for a Pokemon game. 30 FPS in battle is still better than the sections where you got fucking sub-15 FPS in D/P. People complained about some of BW's animations as much as XY's flying ones. Water in region design of R/S is still a goddamned meme to this day.

>there's less Pokemon than any other game
>and the game forces old gens onto you for the most part
People complained about that exact opposite thing in BW.
>the mega evolution mechanic disgusted people
Just like new Pokemon in general disgust people.

>and the characters are annoying for the most part, especially your partners.
So like every single character since Barry. Or Wally. Or May. Or Silver really depending on who's bitching at the time.

>Pt didn't even fix much, hell it added an extra annoying area.
And that just goes to show that you definitely don't represent everyone. Especially considering the game still has positive USER reviews on Metacritic and nothing below an 80 on reviewer scores. You're pulling all these non-facts from your ass when I'm giving you wikipedia and metacritic objectivity.

Give me some other equivilent of 800 goodamned users averaging the game out to be an 8.6, otherwise literally none of what you're saying has any credibility at all. /vp/ is a relatively small board compared to even the rest of 4chan. Out of 198 posts in this very thread, there are only 75 different people posting. And even on /vp/ opinion isn't 100% one-sided on XY being any kind of "complete failure of a game" until you unfairly compare it to third versions which fix their generation's mistakes.

you were never playing the game anyway. youre just salty cuz they took away your cheats.
>>
>>27453343
It really depends on the moves. For example your Dragonite might be having Steel wing as it's main attack, while the Gym's had a dragon-typed attack, which both gets a STAB and Super Effective damage.

Some moves are just straight up better as well and this last update made special attacks stronger.

what was removed for walkers again?

It had the exact same attack as mine. Just like theirs, my dragonite's attacks were not very effective, except that the damage done by them was definitely at least as much if not a little more than my own.

I just got back from my local park.

Lots of gyms there.. I tried to take over many of them, except that for two (2) fucking times, some assholes would put their pokemon as soon as I dethroned the last team. They were just waiting there for me to dethrone the gym so they could put their as soon as they could.

Why hasnt Niantic fixed this shit? This is seriously the first time in years I've gotten mad over a videogame. It's just pure bullshit.
There is no reward to taking over a gym. There's a reward for loitering around one and then take it from whoever is taking it over though.

No, you dont understand.

The gym belonged to Valors. I (Instinct), took it over. Well, as soon as the gym went grey, those assholes put their pokemon back in there before I could. Even though I rightfully took it over.

I'm not preventing anyone from playing. But if I took the effort to take over the gym, the game should give me priority to put my mons in there, not just some random opportunist assholes that happened to be quicker than me.

Yeah, which is why I said they should move the site to Russia, where Niantic can't really get to them.

When you're trying to interfere with another company's bottom line, you don't stop just because they tell you "please stop or we'll sue." You fucking double down on those cunts and make yourself immune in whatever way you can. You mirror your site, you move it, you do whatever. You play cat and mouse until they run out of energy.

>>27451128

Wait until Jhoto release, evolve it again. You'll have a Kingdra with two STAB moves... or two better moves.

You don't get to choose. In any case, the best team for taking down gyms is six Vaporeons.

>>27454073

I've got a reasonable amount of money, but I don't want to support micro-transactions, and I consider it a relatively unfair advantage. Like using a game shark to give yourself 99 master balls. By comparison, anyone can scan and IV check.

I'm not sure if simply summing Def and HP makes sense for ranking; Snorlax has about 2/3 the HP but 3x the Def. It depends how Def actually affects damage calculations.

Attack power is also important for defense, since you want to FAINT the attacker's team to reduce gym rank loss. A better ranking scale would probably be "How much damage can the defending Pokemon inflict before going down?"

>>
>>27454575

1. You have to pay for a game shark, while anyone can scan for free.
2. Game sharks inject additional information into the game. Scanners merely interpret the same information sent to your game in a different way. If Niantic didn't want people to scan for pokemon, they shouldn't have their API set up so that the client is trusted not to show off that information.

And they really shouldn't trust pokemon fans to follow their rules anyways. We're the ones who drove game shark sales in the first place. Missingno gave us the taste of blood, and we wanted more. These days, game sharks are gone, but we have injecting, and it's pretty much been revealed that nearly all of the winners at VGC tournaments have injected pokemon.

Pffthah no, if Niantic's server management is this bad, Nintendo doing it alone would be 20 times worse. 90s games' online has better infrastructure than modern Nintendo's, Sm4sh is proof of that.
>>
>>27455829
Sm4sh is still way more playable than Go though. At least they don't remove the core features that make it playable.

I stand by my point, Nintendo is terrible when it comes to online, yes, but Niantic is "university dude starting the project as a school project" tier. They are even worse.

Also I'd like to know exactly how muh "input" they have, that's something I'm honestly curious about since the very beginning since the game is very strange for something Nintendo-related when you compare it to the previous things they did like the pokewalker. We'll never know, I guess.
