Suck start a shotgun faggot.

...

Pokemon fags achieve new high of annoyance.
You were always like that though.

Why do people care for this app so much? Why not play any of the other games?

it's a good way to meet kids after dark, just camp out near a good pokemon

Because its something a load of people, kids now and kids from the 90's when Pokemon were a thing wanted; a Pokemon game in real life where you could interact with and catch Pokemon right around your neighborhood. It also offers neckbeards a chance to socialize, competitive faggots to go take over an area with a team, and something for people who need an excuse to exercise.

Is there any way to have the app alert you with the screen off? I don't like having to walk around with my screen on looking for these little shits. Already have it on battery saver mode too.

...

Just had a pretty good night of hunting. Was out of pokeballs so I decided to just abuse two pokestops at the fairground that are right next to each other. Someone had put down a lure so there was some people milling around even at midnight. Missed out on a Seadra but got a horsea. Then I took over a few gyms, noticed someone beat one of them back, took it again, came home and noticed my gym was taken yet again.

I'll never get any gold coins. Damn.

You can't right now, at some point theres gonna be a 35 dollar add-on clip you can put on a wristband though that'll alert you and let you catch pokemon in general

I caught a Horsea too tonight, theres a neat spot around where I live with 3 Pokespots all bunched up, so when I get some Lures I'm bugging all of them and having myself a field day

How do you get gold coins? Do you get them from gym benefits, so you don't have to pay for them?

I caught a super XL magikarp with a cp of 25

is it worth it to keep him?

Just spend money you dipshit

Better come with some extra pokeballs too.

Yeah you can get them by defending a gym for a full day I think. I dunno, this whole game is super vague and I'm just living on hearsay.


No chance in hell

...

Buy them or defend a gym for a solid day I think

Find a godlier Magikarp to turn into a Gyarados, scrap the 25 karp.

You get coins for walking?

Oh right ,what's the Pokemon size indication? The XS~XL shit

I got 30 just grabbing pokestops while hunting. There's hardly a need to spend money if you live in an area with a bunch of em.

I wasted 10 on a cp ??? pinsir, he's CP 265 and i started yesterday.


should i make sure the magikarp is a fat motherfucker? Also, is it worth catching over 100 of them to reap the 500 candies to evolve a magikarp?

I found a 140 Pinsir today, I don't know what to tell you, I'd just keep levelling and try to find a shit ton of a mon you want and focus on the strongest of the bunch while scrapping the weaker.

No, you find items you could generally get off the shop.

Idfk fam tbh

Will I be robbed and can I catch a ghost Pokémon from a dead body?

You're a monster.

Game was working like shit, couldn't connect as soon as I decided to go out.

decided I would anyway, went out to local pier/lighthouse. After about 20 minutes servers came back up. I was sitting on a grassy hill with my girlfriend near the lighthouse, this is not something we usually do, being quite indoor people, it was nice.

we checked our phones and noticed there was a gym and three landmarks within close proximity near us… all three then popped up with lure modules. and we saw about 30 people stand up and start walking that direction.
We did as well, found a good bench and started catching.

about 30 minutes later all three were still running modules, and the crowd had grown to about 60 people, all on their phones calling out about squirtles and seakings.

several hours went by, the crown has now grown to about 100 people happily chating about pokemon and complaining about server issues.

When my girlfriends phone died after about 2 1/2 hours we left, all three areas still running modules (with four nearby points running them as well)

we must have caught 100 pokemon, the crowd was still huge and the area (near the beach where homeless people often sleep) was the busiest and hence safest i've ever seen it at night.

we just got home, we had a great time! got a bunch of great pictures of the harbor and caught lots of pokemon between us! smiles all around.

i'd say this game is pretty damn fun.

Not gonna lie, it was slightly autistic.

honestly I thought so many people playing was kind of cool.
normally i'd be embarrassed to be doing this kind of thing in public, but I didn't have to feel bad about it because everyone was.

oh look, we got gary fucking oak over here!

...

...

has nintendo won the game of the decade award, or is this just a passing fad?

live in a suburb of chicago, with lots of colleges, and everybody is running around plugged into their phones, or talking about the game.

fucking normalfags.

How many people do you think are going to be fired over this game for not doing their fucking jobs?

okay fine, I drove there too.

My friend apparently drove around for 3 hours with his girlfriend searching for Pokemon in two different counties. I've even seen people driving by in the passenger and back seat playing this game, driving slowly, searching for pokemon.

its going to get bigger, nintendo created a gold mine.

What suburb? North side is fucking swarming with pokemon people. 11PM I saw a lure module on a river that borders indiatown. I'm afraid to check if it's still there.

FUCK

Going to my Towns common to catch a few more

Then heading into Boston to catch some Moltress some guy was boasting on social media about

Only level 4 so Im already

basically who here /galveston/? I saw a lure by jmmy's on the pier.

I fucking hate this city.

naperville. walking home with my wife, i had two people scream at me "pokeman" and "gotta catch them all."

this really is what nintendo has been waiting to release. it's madness.

Anyone else getting the bug that happens if you tilt your phone upside down and darken the screen, all touch inputs will stop functioning?
Shit is really annoying.

I've been getting that in general, I just reset the game because normally, the Pokemon will still be there when I get back.

Louisville here but used to live in Galveston. Good luck down there, hopefully you can catch more than water pokemon.

WOKE

BLERD

I kek'd
So what team are you all on? I'm on team Instinct
Most neckbeards I've encountered have been on Mystic in my experience

Posting some stuff from Holla Forums

you need to go back.

I leveled up twice and caught ~50 Doduo and ~40 other pokemon.

What in the everloving fuck is a woke blerd?

Spearchucker who thinks it can into tech.

What the fuck is 'woke blerd'?

2D waifu

I guess you can't take a joke. I thought the koffing in the Holocaust museum was funny, but I guess it hit too close to home with you.

i cant find any fucking water pokemon, unless im directly on the fuckin beach. I'm getting pinsirs, scythers, and a billion vulpix

goddamn this city sucks
texas sucks
im going back to chicago or richmond

U GAY BRO? I DON'T WANNA STARE AT A GUYS ASS WHILE I'M PLAYING

Keep saying that tranny

INTEL SUPPORT FUCKING WHEN?

You first, Moishe.

I hate the battle system, it's the main reason I'm not going to be playing this game. I have drawn up a mock up of what I think the battle system should be like.

The resution is the screen dimensions of my (very old) galaxy sIII, and I have checked and can assure you that it is not cluttered or hard to read on that screen.

This system is intended to be used everywhere that battles are used in the real games, including battling wild pokémon, challenging friends, and gym battles. The safari zone type of capturing that is in not could be left as an option for weak pokémon / lazy trainers.

First, we start from the real battle system and modify it from their. In doing this, we restore a full stats system including EVs and IVs, move lists that you can control, PP, pokémon switching, and item use.
The field of the battle uses your camera and the gyroscope to create a battle in (shitty) Augmented reality.
I took their idea of "skilled" dodging and player controlled movement, and made it not shit. You can now move your pokémon around the arena by touching inside the circle and dragging your thumb to the outside. The pokémon's speed is controlled by its speed stat. Pokémon can also randomly dodge on their own based on stats if you are not touching the ring.
Because you have movement of pokémon now, you also can lock on to the enemy mon by tapping on it. This will make your pokémon always face it, but you can unlock it too for the same reasons you would do unlocked combat in any other game.
Because combat position now matters, a moves "shape" is added to its description. This will use a symbol to roughly describe the shape / target / range of the attack. More information could be found on the pokémon's stat page, which of course they would now have.

From the screen, you can see all the same information you can in real games. On the left side you have the pokémon's moves, at the bottom you have the text box describing what is happening ("it's not very effective", &c.) Above that you have your pokémon's name, sex, hp, exp, level, and status effect. On the top of the screen you can see the enemy mom's name, gender, lvl, hp, and status. On the far right side you have (from top to bottom) the buttons for run, item, and roster. The game will not pause when you use the item and roster menus, but they would be transparent and allow you to continue to use attacks (although the moment will be covered). Like in real games, run is only available in a wild battle. In order to run, you must hold down the button for three seconds while a circle closes in on it. After that, YOU, the player, must physically run away from the pokémon and get a certain distance away from it (because it's pokémon GO FUCKING FAST). Some pokémon will chase you to keep you from getting away. When you do get away, the phone will play a loud sound effect and vibrate so that you know without looking at your phone. In a real player battle, the run button it's replaced by a surrender / request draw button. If the devs want, that could add a camera button to take pictures of the battle as well, because that's important apparently.

Fuck off mobilefags. This shit is more cancerous then fucking tumblrtale was.

Compare this fanbase to tumblr to see who is more insane.

Mobile casuals, or tumblr? Who takes care of their health better?

this many stops so close together? There's only one where I live. The next nearest one is a 5 minute drive away. Why the hell didn't they space them out more evenly? Cities get it easy.

Holla Forums is dead

They're the same people.

Not only is this game played by absolute normalfags, but it has godawful gameplay and is a botnet.
Exceptional concept but terrible execution, what a disappointment.

Everyone is dead. There is no more hope. Why did you stop him? Why?

Zenfone 2 is suffering.

That sounds overly complicated and finicky for a touchscreen game meant to be played on the move. Also, EVs and IVs would be the end. Have you seen the people playing this game? normalfags and kids. Neither of which want to deal with that bullshit.

They would not deal with that bullshit.
How many normalfags playing Pokemon are giving a crap about EV's and IV's ?

...

It's a popular game people are enjoying. Get over it.

Some nig just put down a fucking lure near the park near where I live, if I didn't live on the bad side of town I'd head over but that shits risky

I've actually had a good few days in part because of this app, so let me share my rather long story.

Fuck it I'm going for it, should be alright in my car. Wish me luck.

rip user

Take a weapon, user.

Don't die.

"Woke" (concious or aware)
"Blerd" (black/nerd)

Its yet another hackneyed colloquialism to prove once again that Kotaku, Gawker, and Vibe, despite hiring black writers and staffers, have no idea how to speak to a human, let alone a Black man, let alone a Black "nerd".

How do I know this?

She used the word "Blerd".

I wish I had a reaction image to display the appropriate levels of confusion, disgust, and outright disbelief that someone who got a BA Degree in Georgia, was an member of the Black Student League and African Student Association uses shitty slang like a Double D'd valley girl, but seeing as how she spent 8 months serving as an intern at Harlem Talk Radio and never saw any form of recognition or advancement, quite frankly im not surprised.


TL;DR It's slang made by retards and the person who wrote the article is overcompensating for her lack of blackness.

A strange and terrifying conundrum

Make sure to have that glock under your seat, and to get 2 extra hicap mags.

Yeah dude you set the "battery save" mode of the inapp the screen gets black when in the pocket and still tracks you, so eggs hatch and you get a vibration if a Pokemon is poppin out

Scum

that doesn't seem to work for my android. I've put in headphones to tell for sure. The screen goes black when upside down, but after the normal display timeout, it auto locks itself and minimizes the game.

I don't use auto lock so didn't know that.
With this new update the battery save make my game crush and have to reboot it but previously was working fine

they really need to work on some side activity for the next update. During the day I can go for a walk if I want to do something in game, but at night if I feel like doing something with the app, I can't. Even if it's just practice combat or something to prepare you for gyms.

Oh hey does anyone know the context on the second picture?

Apparently somebody captured a gym that also happens to be one of major Westbro churches, and put up a Pokemon named LOVEISLOVE which is some LGBT slogan, there. Which made them super salty so they decided to use Pokemon GO as some recruiting platform, and also autistically posting about it, and forming a militia of crusty old christfags to play Pokemon GO and defend all their gyms. The whole story is comedy gold.

archive.is/t5mmW

Agree. They should put a fucking PVP even using pvi so you level up and upgrade you Pokemon whenever


Do anyone have any idea how the green circle when catching one actually is?

That's some good shit. In my block there are actually 2 group of people that chase eachother on conquering the two gym next to us, so every time you see a flock of people of bluescumm and after a couple of hours a flock of people of team red conquering back the shit

Jesus fuck this is just amazing.

can someone explain the game mechanics?

What does power up do?

Should one power up then evolve or save up candies and evolve straight away?

what is the CPvalue?

Is there anyway to get coins without buying them other than having a gym?

how do battles work?

Catching more pokemon that you already have is good for candies and different moves that they know, is there any other reason?

this game is clearly gonna keep popping up so having a general and a good OP for noobs would be welcome.

What does power up do?

Should one power up then evolve or save up candies and evolve straight away?
I personally get to about 3/4 of the way to a full bar, then evolve.

what is the CPvalue?
See first question.

Is there anyway to get coins without buying them other than having a gym?
No.

how do battles work?
Mash the enemy, swipe left/right to dodge, it's not that great.

Catching more pokemon that you already have is good for candies and different moves that they know, is there any other reason?
Evolve cheap Pokemon for 500XP a pop, then release them.

The perfect solution to still keep people going out during the day would be to draw from nintendo's street pass (i'm not sure how that would work with phones, though. Probably drain your battery even more). People can then fight a copy of your selected pokemon at home for some kind of reward.


I think the closer it is to the centre, the higher the chance of catching it.

we live in the gayest possible future but sometimes it's alright

Increase the life and the CP of the Pokemon
don't really know, I'm saving up to evolve since you will always fine a better poke to level up
from 5 to 10 years without parole:^} no idea what you mean
Nope. Get a gym and keep that bitch
Swipe to avoid, tap to hit. Keep finger to use supermove they will make it properly next update
XP and stardust

thanks for that, one last question though. Do pokemon learn more moves other than the starting 2 as they power up/evolve?

As they power up, no.
But they may change moves when they evolve.

except that people shouldn't be enjoying it

Yeah, like the hideout in emerald or ruby
I would love to have a movable spot where to leave shit I don't use that keep my backpack full and put random poke to be challenged by others

why shouldn't they be enjoying it?

Well, then you should probably stop sucking dicks user:^}

Dogs are great, man. I love when I visit my parents, because I get to spend time with the family dogs.

wow, god forbid people have fun, amirite fellow Holla Forumsedditors

The irony is that they'll spend WAY more money on gas traveling to wherever their favorite stops are, even if they get out and walk once there.

Why not? All those lazy fucks finally found an excuse to walk around. People are meeting each other and the whole affair is spawning tons of fun stories and news.

It's great. Even if you're not participating you can enjoy the craze, because all the most retarded types stay next to their computers whining already, Pokemon porn exists for decades, and most people engaging in that are saner than that.

Everyone seems to be playing this game. It seems like a really cool premise. Think Monster Rancher: it introduces a unique way to interact with the game itself.

But when I looked into it, I can't seem to figure out what people actually do with the pokemon. People said you staff gyms with them. But apparently fighting in this game is you pressing a button really fast? That's it?

Where is the "game" part of this thing? Like I love hiking and walking around and just exploring already. Fucking around with the phone seems like it would take away from that.

I'm back I basically hit the center with drive-by's. Just got a couple on screen captured them aways from the center and then drove by for more.

I also drove past the graveyard out of curiosity, holy shit there TONS of fucking centers there.

There isn't. It's more of a toy/trading cards.

Fuck that

People shouldn't be having sex except purely for procreational purposes and in the missionary position but that's never stopped anyone

You're missing out the most entertaining metagame aspect here

If you aren't doing any of that , you're missing out half the fun.

...

i just remembered when i last jailbroke my iphone there was a mod you could make that would allow you to spoof your phones location anywhere in the world i wonder if it would work with pokemon?

It sounds like it would be more efficient to just form a criminal gang than fuck around with the app.

There's two stops for one church up my street, and I have no idea why.

rooted phones can use fake gps, it has worked for a long time

ill jailbreak my iphone and rice the fuck out of it, then report back whether or not pokemon go falls for the spoofed gps, itll be interesting to see if theres any coded limits on how many pokestops and gyms you can claim in a set time period as well any other limitations they might have added.

well I know for one you won't hatch any eggs due to moving too fast. I think I heard going faster than about 40km/h disables it

All Pokemon Go has accomplished is made nerds realize that only going outside once a year has made them unable to identify what a bad neighborhood looks like.
I'm so glad idiots are willing to walk in a direction because a phone app tells them to.

...

this is what makes this game amazing

I've even got my parents out walking around and talking to people instead of being cooped up all day.

just caught a persian earlier but I missed out on a Chansey and a pikachu.

The problem with this is if they actually implemented any of this and added depth that's only found in the actual pokemon games and not this free mobile shit, nintendo would virtually be competing with themselves. As it is now, anyone who wants the full jewtendo pokemon experience, having got the itch from playing this shitty mobile app, has to actually buy the new game coming out in november.

It's actually pretty jewie and their sales might increase by a significant margin because of this game, on top of the good goys that are already giving money to play this mobile shit.

This isn't even the first app to do something clever with gps.
Earlier this year i found out an app named "soapstone" which does exactly what the soapstone did in dark souls, a "secret" way of people to write and read other's messages based on a distance of 2km radius.

NORMALFAGS GET OUT!

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

It's technically still in beta (or alpha?), it's version .2 and they're going to be adding trading and new mechanics.

Sauce?

There used to be apps on Cydia which could alter the GPS position that gets reported to apps which request it.

Seems perfect for this shit, however a jailbreak hasn't been out for a long time.

I haven't personally played this game yet, but isn't fake GPS really going to break this game?
From what I have read, multiple people can do gym battles at the exact same time. If this is the case, can't some autist run multiple simultaneous emulators and an autoclicker bot so they can fuck up everyone's shit, then siege the gym from everyone who isn't on their team through extensive training?

Also, can someone just easily farm Pokemon from creating hundreds of accounts and placing incense in one area?

Yes but you have to be clever about it. Niantic have some anti spoofing stuff in the game. People did it all the time playing Ingress so they cracked down on it.

archive.is/c2xU7

There lies the problem. If you don't live in a city with a bunch of stops, you're at a serious disadvantage, and will probably run out of pokeballs unless you actively grind for them. I guess I'm kinda lucky that while I only have 6 stops in this shitty town, they're pretty spread out, so by the time you reach the 6th one, the 1st is recharged.

...

Everybody die.
EVERYBODY.

this is what really confuses me. They sell pokeballs on the shop. It's odd that they make it easier for some to get them for free rather than everyone the same.

Its been pretty fun. Last weekend I went back to my old neighborhood and hooked up with some friends to go around for some hunting and catching.

Found a park that had 3 pokestops in a triangle formation close enough together that if you stood in the middle of them you could reach all 3. like 25 to 30 people showed up there, popping lures for a good couple of hours.

It was all pretty fun. I don't know if its because I live in south florida or whatever but I haven't seen any super over abundance of embarrassing neckbeards.
Hell, I haven't even really seen parents or little children. All the people out hunting seem to be at least college aged.

Some jew-school thing near me is a gym. I need to get a koffing or weezing and take it over.

Neat.

Save me.

From a little research, apparently it is easy to cheat in Ingress unless it is really obvious like traveling to the UK from Japan in 10 minutes.
Also I could see a way were it would be impossible for them to do anything unless they were to ban legitimate players.
It works like this:
1. Have two people co-operate in a team.
2. One person goes to an area usually filled with crowds of people playing Pokemon Go.
3. Other person GPS spoofs their location to the location of the guy playing legitimately, then drops tons of incense through throwaway accounts.
4. Guy playing legitimately collects the Pokemon, avoiding the ban entirely, unless Niantic decides to ban all of the innocent people in the area as well.
I don't think it's very wise to play the game in its current state.

Less than that. Riding a bike makes it go unable to hatch

Yeah I've actually talked with random people on the road and I've walked 28km to hatch a egg. This app isn't a game per se at the moment but is anything we will get close to a MMO

I could understand a General if the game would be good. But considering how much this shit sucks, why do you even bother.

No, just one person can battle a gym at a time. We tried with a friend and he couldn't even see any Pokemon inside till I was done with the battle

It's because it's a new thing, DS3 autists did the same shit when their trash game came out.

either way, you can still get some in the car. I drove to the shops today and got 1km off my egg. Probably from stopping at traffic lights and slow suburban streets

Most likely for that, it starts from 0 till 15km so a red light will read that

The salt is amazing

Fair enough, I guess the source I was reading that information from was bullshit then.
Regardless however, some autist could just use incense constantly through throwaway accounts for ten regular accounts, then lower the prestige of the gym with their newly caught high level Pokemon, and then finally siege the gym through raising the prestige level to 10 and filling it with incense farmed, high level Pokemon. Then do this over and over, potentially with more accounts or working in a team of people farming accounts.

I can see why normalfags like it, but honestly it's one of the most boring and disconnected RPGs I've ever played.


The reason why this appeals to normalfags is because there's almost no thinking involved and it's got a cool camera gimmick.

Its a new thing that also happens to encourage people to meet IRL and possibly socialize. You bet your ass a large amount of NEETs in here want that. Being a vidya thing, as tangential it might be, filters out people who might cause said NEETs to drop spaghetti trying to bring it up.

I'll probably try it when it's released on my country and the pokemon website accepts registrations again.

No. Incense only increase your own chance to get Pokemon.
Lure increase pokestop chance and anyone can have it.


You still get it related to your account and you can apply lure only after level 6 or 7


Gym works by full on kick out challenge, so a gym of 3 player have to be beaten 4 times.

So far, I've been enjoying it.
I just like walking around, finding stuff and evolving my dudes.
I don't really do gym battles. I don't put lures on stops.
That means there's a chance to meet autists and kids, which I do not want.
I just want to catch my Pokemon.

I hate how the point of the game isn't catching "em all but leveling up. Can't wait for PVP and shank a kid

There are reasons not to play this game other than laziness or being asocial. The game's battle system is terrible, there is no trading as of right now, and the game likely tracks your data.

Yeah, but if you drop 50 incenses in one area through farmed accounts, your chances of getting excellent Pokemon is high, as I'm pretty sure the bonuses stack together.
With such high level Pokemon it would be easy to overtake a gym controlled by non-cheaters. Then they could just throw in high level Pokemon that would normally take weeks to get and fill up all of the player slots with multiple accounts.

How do you get this on Android? I can't find it in the Play Store.

get the apk

I have a Zenfone 2 Laser.
Why are we suffering?

Do you live in the USA, Australia or New Zealand? If not you have to wait for the game to be released in your region or find an APK online (be careful though, as apparently one of the commonly found APK files is malware).

No as I told you, incense is only personal and dosnt affect other players, and you can have only one active per 30min

Lure can be added to shops and last 30min too so if you fine a spot with multiple ones you get stacks of chance on finding pokemons. But is still capped, a level 2 will never find a 700cp raticate

I like how everyone who hates this game is either butthurt that they have to walk or they're so afraid of others they'd rather just lift their noses right up.

That they are. These doggos have done wonders for my depression.


I'm a 31 year old man getting dressed to walk 30 minutes to a park in order to collect pokeballs so I can get more pokemon. I don't know if normal is a fair thing to accuse me of being.

Sorry for the multiple post
The game have still to be shown any actual source of "datamining" you connect it with google account or the nintiac account. Both of those can be lied to since don't need a verification and the only data you will get is how much of an autistic you are for living in this city and walking 80km to catch a Pokemon

Thanks.

Fix'd

Currency is a good idea since you get them free in gym is the position on the gym going to give you more coins? and is the only thing that you can buy in microtransition that helps you getting more stuff that you get for fre aka pokeballs eggs and incense….maybe the real advantage is the expansion of the backpack and the pokebelt


Why lure are a bad idea tho?

Pokemon GO is probably going to be Nintendo's #1 profit source for a while, more than anything previously.


archive.is/5Hshs
From rt.com article

Yeah it's called pet therapy, it trigger a recessive instinct in your brain to take care of someone and be loved back by it. Dogs are the first pic for the therapy, after hamster and birds or rabbits….cats are last or not even used

>How long until a sexual predator uses one to lure?


So the immediate impulse to most is

Here is the darker question

How long until someone playing Poke'mon Go in their car runs over someone playing Poke'mon Go while crossing the street

The reason I could guess lures being a bad idea is "welfare mentality". You put up a lure and people come for it, then beggars beg and whine until another one gets put because they won't put one themselves

It won't be long now.

I can't read moonrunes, what is going on there?

pokemon go threads banned when?

Mmmmmmm I see your point.


I think they are actually a good idea for a group of people got a story

There are some parasite that sit a couple of meters away and get the lure them move on, but is normal. I've still have to put a lure and used one of others at least 5 times FFS. I sti have to find something to do that allows me to stay in the same spot for 30min the I will do it

Wow, I seriously lack reading comprehension.
Thanks for the information though, I did not know about the cp cap with player levels.
Since this is the case, it seems that there won't be mass cheating in this game at least.

If fullderp is allowed this stays too

That's one of the best parts. It'll turn the world into a shitty apocalypse movie. The driving thing sucks unwashed ass though. Some dizzy cunt went from 45 to 5 before deciding to pull off the road yesterday while I was driving my mail truck. sucks for my life

Apparently Mewtwo spawned on a highway.

It's a joke, that video is from the Oakland protests, where they block I-880 both ways
dindu nuffin
the video used is from Yahoo News, which took the time to establish an international audience, probably why the jap used it to bait

Pretty sure that is video of all those niggers who blocked a highway because cops occasionally shoot black guys and they somehow think blocking off a highway will change that for some reason.

shitposters banned when?


Naaaa all good. Most of the "info" you get from Holla Forums are blatant lies due to being salty or just contrarian or misreading of a misreading of a mistexting, so spreading false info

Anyone who posts seriously ITT is a normal and should be purged.

So ive done some digging and ive found 2 ways to spoof ones location although both ways are risky.

first is to jailbreak your iphone or android and then use one of the many gps spoofing mods to change your location, the second is to use app creating software to make an app that will change your location this doesnt require jailbreaking. both methods have problems especially when teleporting long distances, also some people have been banned for cheating as well as the app is supposed to check if your phone is jailbroken and only provide errors if it is.

I wonder if they will add Easter eggs like a fake missigno

...

People are setting their GPS to walk for them somehow.

ill dig more and make a pastebin.

Why not Grandpa Adolf?

...

As long as you're aware of it and not some oblivious retard from suburbia who takes a drive down to say, Camden, New Jersey not realizing it's a crime-ridden shithole.

Normal Zenfones are Intel CPUs, which don't have a version of Go for it.i

So now normalfag/casual/mobile trash is fine on Holla Forums because it's Pokemon?
I might be done with this place.

Good, a shitposter less to worry about, go and find a hugbox that let you circlejerk about your weeaboo shit;^}

Jesus Christ

I decided to watch the Japan NHK International channel, the daily news was on, and WHAT was the first thing I saw? They are talking about Pokemon GO, I can't get away from this, it is literally everywhere. I caught the last 15 seconds but they showed tweets (all from USA probably) and a picture of an officer in a car putting his arm around his pikachu in the passenger seat. Kek.

Reddit, if post count matters that much to you, maybe you should go back there.

I live in Canada and the first thing I saw on the news this morning was Pokemon GO.
Pokemon GO isn't even released in Canada yet.

I went to the gym the yesterday, real gym, where I lift and get fucking wicked sick gains bruh and there was like 20 neckbeards standing outside, weird sight, I decided to watch them for a while before I got out of my car
It was amusing the first time but I went today and there was more, it was like a fucking hoard of losers. I hope this cancer dies down.

sage because mobile game shit and you're losers if you play it

RELEASE THE FUCKING GAME
IN CANADA OFFICIALLY YOU NIP
FUCKS

I wish threads like these would Pokemon Go away.

Here is how to spoof, unfortunately the best method requires a mac so if someone could make a guide on running a virtual mac desktop id be grateful.

*Is my tablet not recent enough or something? I can get Ingress but not GO!*

Walking around is fine, in fact it's one of the few things I can give Pokemon Go is that it encourages you to walk around.
However the evolution system is kind of dumb considering that there are certain Pokemon that will never evolve. Can you honestly tell me you've come across enough bulbasaurs, squirtles, or charmanders to evolve them?
Being able to throw the pokeball is cool, but that's the last thing I can give it.

Also can we take a moment to talk about how it actually runs? My phone ran way too hot just to play this game and no app has ever done that to my phone. On top of that it's a battery monster.

Are lures centered around your device and how big is the radius? I never leave the house but I figured people around my neighborhood could take advantage of mine.

Lures are centered around the stop you put them on.
Incense only works for you, and is based on your device.

Ended up deleting it after five days because I could never actually get past the "be alert of your surroundings" warning.

Ah, lame. Thanks for the info.

At least something amusing is coming out of this shit app.

archive.is/IKVL1

LOL

Like I said, after looking at it on my phone it really doesn't look like it's all that cluttered or that you'd have to much of a problem with it.

And just like in EVERY OTHER pokémon game, which are all also played primarily by children, normal fags and children will not even know about EVs or IVs, and can just ignore them.


Also, the concept of EVs and IVs isn't even that complicated to explain to a normal fag or a child as long as you leave numbers out of it: "some pokémon, even the same kind of pokémon, will be better at some things than others. What kinds of pokémon they defeat determines how their combat abilities improve."


You're right, and like I said, this is how I think the game SHOULD be, ideally.

I think what was trying to say is the game would be limited by a phone's processing power. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S4 and the thing runs so hot it has to slow down to stop itself from bursting to flames. So I don't honestly think a proper battle system is possible as much as I'd like it to be.

EVs and IVs aren't difficult to explain either, but remember normalfags aren't all too bright.

Pokemon Go's current strength is about catching more Pokemon, but it's too busy focused on allowing you to battle. What if instead they completely gutted the battle system and instead found a way to encourage catching more things? Maybe gear the rank system to opening up the amount of Pokemon you can find in an area?

Well I was out catfishing and I gotta say.
I've never seen so many fat autists at the lake.
There are several memorial trees planted along the edge, each one is a pokestop.
So there are 30 of them including a nearby church which is a poke center i guess.
And there were autists everywhere humping those trees like hippies on acid.
Would have taken a picture but the last thing I need is some autist's mother accusing me of fapping to her potato.

What they should do is scrap the battling concept entirely and isntead make the game into a Pokemon Amie meets Nintendogs styled game where you catch Pokemon then play with them and bond with them.

Fills a niche the mainline games don't, at least.

The game is supposed to be about living out your fantasies of becoming the very best like no one ever was.
If there is not a competent battle system, the game is a failure.

I got a prime just to play this
My last phone was from 2007
Smartphones are fucking rad, glad I upgraded, I've been missing out

Hopefully they do a battle system revamp. Although I'm admittedly concerned that it will still be gutted to appease the casuals.

Unrelated, but why is Team Yellow portrayed as pussies?

I drove up to the post office last night to tap some pokestops, got bored of waiting after 10 minutes, stopped by the 7-11 and went home. Next time I need to take something to do while in between tapping the nodes.

Caught a Venonat while I was tapping the nodes.

So when you go to a Pokestop, what do you do? Do you just chill there or something?

You tap the pokestop, it'll bring up the picture associated with that pokestop, you spin the coin left or right, and it'll produce bubbles, you pop the bubbles to get the items and you'll get 50 xp for activating it too (every time).

There's a 5 minute cooldown on every pokestop.

Depends on the stop, the stop concentration of the area, and if any lures are active. If there are lures around, chill and enjoy the free pokemon. If there aren't, and there are a lot of stops in the area, hit them all and loop back around. If none of the above are true, enjoy your shitty location and sitting around waiting for the stop to refresh.

Fuck no you don't sit there popping the bubbles, you close the window and just collect all of them.

?

Well I'm fairly sure that was scripted. Still hilarious


kek
brb going hurl


It's funny because the original writer on Shitaku was Middle Eastern


bait

When you back out of the pokestop, it automatically gives you all of the items that appeared without the "you have to click all the bubbles, clicking bubbles is FUN!!!!" faggotry.

Ah, thanks.

You don't need to defend a gym for the full day. Just grab it and cash in immediately, the 21 hour cooldown only starts after you cash in. If you have a spot with a bunch of gyms close together, grab them all, then get your shekels. You only need to actually hold it for as long as it takes to claim your coins.

Relevant.

If everyone spies on everything then there is nothing they can't find~!

do i even have a chance at a social life anymore

People have been robbed at gunpoint because a mugger put a lure in a forest. also pedos

It's published by Nintendo you fuck. That is endorsement.

Of course there is user.

Hop on in, your friends are waiting.

Niantic made a game called Ingress which is also a GPS phone app game, it doesn't play the same, but it uses many of the same mechanics for its augmented reality gameplay. And they didn't create google earth. Everything you said is bullshit.

...

...

TEAM VALOR BEST TEAM

Report in fuckers!

...

How is that best team?

Accidentally pressed post
Don't know how to feel

...

I didn't make the meme son.

Stop dude.

...

Way to spread a shitty macro made by a woman, dumbass.

See I thought the same thing, but immediately following is

What woman would put that as a "WHAT AN ASSHOLE" line?

...

The game was made by In-Q-Tel. That alone should make you weary. Feel free to ignore me but don't go around throwing stones in your glass house considering what you are doing.

Nah fam, its because the meme is that Instinct are ralph wiggums

You have the one compatible Zenfone because it's not rocking a meme processor, congrats.

Well, know what they say, death is the only cure for stupid.

...

Cool meme, mind if I borrow it?

It's all yours my friend

That "game used by criminals to lure victims" one is bullshit, while there was a string of robberies, it was because they were going from parking lot to parking lot holding people up at gunpoint and stealing their shi. None of the robbers were actually playing Pokemon GO.

For whatever reason, all churches worldwide are game locations.

Guessing you snagged this gem off of kikebook or reddit then.

Of course not they didn't want to get robbed.

...

While it may be bullshit now, it is not farfetched to say it will happen.

Criminals will be using this shit to lure easy victims, children and unfit scaredy nerds. Pedos and robbers will love this app when they learn to use it.

MAGA

You get everything the game offers for money for free, excluding the storage upgrades.

Hitler killed Hitler.

I just realized we might be entering a nu90's
>i have hope for the future

Go cuck yourself

Except it's real.

>archive.is/QduZy

Normalfag detected. Mystic is the only wizard/animu team. Team valor is stacy and Team instinct is chad.

I'm still figuring out how everything works, but there's fuck all at work and at home to catch.
I can see stuff in the distance taunting me, but I can't go roam over to it during work hours.

Come the weekend, I'm going cycling and seeing what I can do with it.

Spots are all formed from what Ingress users submitted as portals.

Did I hurt her feelings, Holla Forums? :^(

I don't like to be mean. She was excited about pokemon too :^(

...

Me and all my friends use Pokémon GO on a rooted phone, dunno where you're getting your information from

Must be Android 4.3 or newer, iirc

My Galaxy Tab 3 T-310 was abandoned at 4.4.4, so I'm not sure why you're having this problem.

You have to be joking, not that it really matters if you have a smartphone they have all your shit anyways

She's subhuman, don't feel bad because she doesn't have feelings.

And how would you rate yourself user?

You're retarded user.
plot twist they're all normalfag teams

You mean 4.4.

A 7.

You guys here about the drama surrounding Alex Ramirez and the dead body he found while driving around?

...

How was I supposed to know that, I'm not a faggot like you who keeps up with this stuff.

...

Slums always have the most public landmarks. Whenever the local government wants to do some sort of public works/beautification/improvement it goes to the poorest areas in town because obviously all the niggers need is a couple statues and paintings to stop looting and murdering.

Every time I see a dense area of stops it's either a cemetery or a slum. For some reason multiple of the memorial monuments in a single cemetery "count".

That's people being dumb to go to a lure in a nigger hood. Not really the lure system

Yeah that's how it's always been. You spend so much time your basement that you forgot what reality looks like?

What? Does he poop standing or

JUST

...

...

Which team is the most normalfag?
poal.me/y9an2m

You spilled spaghetti user. If you don't bang below average chicks they get cruazhy and transform in femminazi

And who is the idiot here user?:^)

You should either put more points into int, or max your taunt skill.

...

...

Nintendo is dying, they said. Their stocks are plummeting, they said. They'll gonna go bankrupt they said.

I'm already scared of what they have planned for mobile Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing.

...

I can drop the archive.is link if people want the source of this, but The Verge claims Nintendo's stock raised by 7.something billion dollars after Go's release

I'm not quite the finance guy but 7 billion dollars sounds like a lot of money

that could work well actually

GO TEAM MYSTIC!

i'm team mystic, but don't be a faggot about it user

It has risen to that level because apparently Pokemon Go's usage by people has risen above twitter, snapchat and other companies that hold billions in value.
I had an rt.com article I posted about it here too.

My town only has 15k people. We have this many stops together because a lot of shit with that nigger freer Lincoln happened there.

I haven't actually played that furry game. Isn't it like a tycoon FarmVille?

the game wouldn't work until I turned that off.

You people are cancer, if anything Mark should ban your filth.

Do you put your friend's names in your contacts list? Do they or your normalfag family members have yours in theirs? If so they have your shit.

I read it in another thread on here

I want summer to leave. Do you even know what TFW means?

My freinds convinced me to be team valor, what I found is that instinct is super chill, mystic is super neckbeard, and valor is super normalfag

But no. They don't share my name because I don't have the real one and same with family or any other circle goolge have

So your family doesn't have your phone number?

Around me everyone is either valor or mystic. I didn't want to get on the instinct becasue valor have a hot chick as a leader

Not what I said. Family dosnt have my phone number on their Google account therefor they don't have shit on me user.

You realize Android is Google, right?

they've been tracking you ever since you've entered your first google search

...

Are you new? Do you know what tfw means?


I was torn because Valor had the most shit conquered around me when I started and has a nice lady as a leader, but I picked Instinct since it seems no one was on Instinct.

You should worry.
pastebin.com/wsAqK0Gg

And you realize I don't have android right?:^}

...

My neighborhood is trash. I can only see a Rattata 3 paws away from me, and two pokestop just out of walking distance.

I don't even live in the country. I live in the suburbs of Atlanta. This is bullshit.

Did you even read my post nigger? I was mad at the guy for saying that feel when too many times. And I thought his overuse of the acronym meant that he didn't understand what it meant.

We have gone full circle. Technology was a mistake.

...

Feels good
The nearby nature reserve has absolutely no wild pokemon in it though what the fuck

Also,
If you can see it then it's within walking distance, fatty

...

I don't see any pokestops there.

Anyone here have a rooted Android? I'm on a Droid Maxx (ver 4.4.4) trying to use Klingo Root to root, but it keeps failing. It sits on a loop that downloads prerequisite files forever until it eventually fails.

Any help?

Cyanogenmod

The point is that if you weren't worried about Google before there's no reason to worry now as they already had all of your shit. Well unless you were just completely unaware in which case I'm wondering how the hell you found your way to Holla Forums. If you were worried before and had taken proper precautionary measures like never buying a smartphone and never using Windows then I can understand being bothered by the botnet's expansion.

Apple does the same shit

I just walked down to try my first gym. The combat in this game is really shit. Everything goes too fast and with no tells given that a dodge swipe is half of the mechanics. It even auto swaps to your next pokemon after one dying too fast. I tried to run as one of my pokemon died and my next pokemon came out and took 2 hits before it registered. Why couldn't they just go with regular pokemon combat?

How do you choose between attacks? On the profiles it clearly shows two attacks, but from what I can tell, the only thing you can to it tap to trigger a per-determined attack.

Heeeyy, any good finds at Cave Hill cemetery?

when that little blue bar fills up and flashes just hold on your pokemon for a second or two.

I'm not sure. That's another problem with the combat. There aren't any tutorial battles against ai trainers or soemthing to let you get used to it. Just straight in against gyms that you need to use items to revive after. I could have been battling wrong for all I know.

hold your pokemon or theirs? because aren't you supposed to tap them to attack?

See people literally trip over themselves and each other playing this around the city. The level of autism society has reached can no longer be contained. Humanity is finished.

it doesn't matter where you tap from what i've noticed.

You want autism? There's a historical society here that's hosting an event to teach about a historical nearby area using Pokemon Go as a tool.

Do you live in Tennesse? If so I know where you're talking about. If not more than one is doing this.

That's not autism. That's businesses taking advantage of something popular that could bring people in.

Any coffee shop or other small food service shop that is lucky enough to have a pokestop near them have been popping lures to attract business.
Areas of cities that have been virtually dead due to lack of foot traffic are suddenly finding themselves a bit more revitalized.

Honestly, stop being such a faggot.

...

Looks like there's more than one.


I'll concede it's the wrong term for it, but it's a free event.

Anyone know if there's any truth to the rumor that if many people are playing Pokemon Go in an area that it will start spawning more Pokemon even if its normally empty?

I dunno, maybe it is for normalfags but thanks to this game I went out on a date with a cute Asian girl I met at a lure…

Max is really low, like 15 miles an hour or less.

I just leave my phone on my Roomba and let it wander around like a robot doofus for a while.

Are you sure she's not a pokemon?

That would lead to user catching a ninetails instead of creeping a girl out and ending it with a lonely night so let's hope for pokemon

She's insanely into the game, I don't think I could creep her out…

Pokemon VR MMO RPG WHEN

I'm sure you have some weird fetish or Holla Forums tier view that would send her running

Took a drive around downtown Charlotte, found like 8 stops per block so I capped out my bag quickly. Saw a few people pretty obviously playing the game but too socially awkward to get out of my car at any point. Fortunately there's almost no traffic and plenty of street-side parking this time of night, so I can pretty much stop the car anytime to hit a stop or 4.

Pokémon spawns use the same mobile device heatmap as XM spawns in Ingress, yeah

So what kind of scale are we talking about here, both in time and number of people? Go with a group of 3-6 people and find several times as many pokes that same night, or visit a hotspot that's been frequented by hundreds for the last week and find maybe 50% more?

anyone got a clean pokemon go apk for android? ive heard most are infected.

Whelp, finally went out on an expokedition yesterday.

The only Pokestop near me is 6 minutes by car, but 30 minutes on foot. It's a small park. When I got there, there was one guy by himself sitting on a bench with his phone out. I thought it was a kid, but as I reached the parking lot realized he drove there. I thought just being *at* the park would be enough to register that I was at the Pokestop, didn't realize you have to walk right up to the things.

I knew there was one Pokestop downtown also so I started driving towards it with the app open, and the game went nuts on the drive. As I've seen mentioned here, stops started popping up at graveyards and churches until I got downtown. Then it was fucking nuts. There was a pokestop every two feet, in some cases three or four crowded right next to eachother. Lure modules out everywhere.

There must have been 30 people out there playing. Some guys by themselves, a few groups of three with two girls and a guy or all girls, and several groups of four guys. It was kind of surreal. I'd say it was an even split between teenagers and people in their 30's.

I picked team Valor. The entire town is team Valor. I must have seen a dozen gyms, all red. My top Pokemon is just a Raticate with a cp of 266, but that was higher than a lot of what was holding the gyms.

Unfortunately, my battery started dying, and I was supposed to meet someone at an IHOP (pancakes were 58 cents yesterday) so I only ended up getting home with 9 pokeballs and a Krabby.

I was okay with that because I love Kinglers.

Really uncomfortable with the idea of wandering into a graveyard to play this shit. Not so much for spooky reasons, it just seems really disrespectful and I wonder if it's alright just being there at all, especially at night.

But the graveyards I have seen have had some of the densest concentrations of stops around, with the possible exception being some downtown streets which are pretty heavily decorated.

You think graveyards are bad, the best place I've seen for getting pokemon is inside a hospital.

LOL

the president of israel made this

oy vey Niantec is anti-semitic, shut it down

What team do I join faggots

Yellow

yellow or red

Not Blue

Look what works in an emulator now.

I'm not joining yellow because I'm not a nigger.
I might join blue but I'm leaning towards red
So I go to any gym to get team selection, right? And I can't revert it?

Right, blue is overcrowded as fuck which is why I recommended the other two though. Went red myself.

So other than installing Ingress (because I don't want to play that, and it's not 100% accurate anyway) is there any way to get a larger area map?

There is only one single pokestop within walking distance of me, and it's kind of a nightmare to get there. I'd like to see if I can't find something somewhere else without driving around randomly.

join blue
