Because the game just says "good job, you caught a pokemon, go forth and exhaust thyself!"

Okay RIA I'll throw you a bone and give you the git guds tips

Pay attention to your Pokemon's weight. Ideally, you want to only invest in Pokemon that are labeled XL.

(http://i.imgur.com/xld7Up3.png)

Why is this important? Compare an XL Eevee at CP 366 and an XS Jolteon at CP 509 and you'll find that their health is identical

(http://i.imgur.com/pjsqshl.png)(http://i.imgur.com/2W8uKim.png)

This is bad. Do not invest in shitty XS Pokemon. Not worth it.

Also, if you are starting out, hold off on evolving until you get your Lucky Egg. Then wait to use your lucky egg when you can evolve like ten of your Pokemon at once. You'll grab like 2000 EXP at once. And leveling yourself up is great for long term Pokeman success.

Also TBH, I don't see any difference between a Pokemon raised from CP 10 and a Pokemon that you caught at CP 300.

I basically formed a Team Valor possé with strangers I met in the city, at 2AM, in the middle of the sketchiest part of town and organized attacks and took three gyms in the middle of the city last night and then proceeded to yell things at suspected, cowardly Team Mystics and their need to compensate for small dicks by disrupting Team Valor properties.

Then made fun of Team Instinct and called them Hufflepuffs.

Normally I would feel like I should be growing up or something instead of doing bizarre shit like taking my clothes off when I'm winning in fighting games

...but this is a Pokemon game mostly powerplayed by 25+ year olds running around in the middle of 2 AM.

I'm probably going to be arrested for either trespassing or disorderly conduct before the week ends and I bet the judge will be some small dick on Team Mystic.

Today I did this thing where I went to the local riverside park where all the pokemon nerds in my group have been going and I did things and my legs are jello and it was a beautiful day and I sat on wet grass and my panties are still wet. Still haven't hatched an egg, but walked over a mile today. Most exercise I've gotten in months. If I weren't so lazy I would've chased the ducks and geese and not the swan.
I was only out for an hour but I got a little bit of a tan. What a tragedy.

I really don't know where I could go that slow around here at this time of year. All schools are out so it's not even like I can go through school zones. I don't poke and drive anyway. I've managed just by being a passenger and having the slower times of coming to a stop and taking off being counted as my walking. Which really sucks since I like driving. And I like pokemon. And I'm not stupid enough to combine the two.

Alright, since this has been my life for the past week, I figured I'd join in.

To begin, this is what it's like playing around my job. Hundreds of stops, and when I came in this morning more than half were filed with lures. I popped one myself to throw out some good Karma.

(http://i.imgur.com/ZnnuNob.jpg?2)


I've been on a mission to kill the motherfucking Snorlax that took my gym by my house. I won't stop until that gym is mine and Bellerose is rid of any Snowlax assholes.

Problem is, I've accidentally created an overly aggressive bellpeper and a team of punkass butterflies and birds. I affectionately call my best accident Dorito, but honestly I'm hurting for more pokemon that are a little less... basic.

(http://i.imgur.com/VN4uj0r.jpg?1)

So I'm going on a major hunt. Or walk. Or as Kenny mentioned, the adulting way of driving under 20 mph late at night. I'm hoping to crack some more useful eggs.

(http://i.imgur.com/Cmj0qG9.jpg?1)

Best part about this is walking/driving late at night and having groups of guys shout out "WHAT TEAM" until you respond "uhh, red." And we all discuss which gyms we need to recover and how to fucking murder the god damn Snorlax.

I'm in deep.

The "major" spot of Omaha is downtown. So that's where I'm going to be later. With my 4 new recharging sticks.
Leeching off everyone's lures while I relax under a tree. Surrounded by geeks.

cool, more posts. I was about to think I'd killed the post by going along with it. anti-cool powers: dad level


also I have never played a pokemon game before and I have no idea how good any of these are or what to do with them but on my first day I found a magmar over 200 in my neighborhood @ 2 am and also I have probably caught over 140 in my first 2 days

my side quest is trying not to scare the neighbors. my main quest is making my brother in law jealous cause I already found stuff he can't find after all his time playing
Title: Re: Pokemon GO
Post by: what the pluck on July 18, 2016, 09:57:07 pm
A. I haven't even seen a magmar.
B. My highest level poke is only 215. I haven't evolved anything yet. You can't evolve a magmar, so while it's a good initial catch it kinda sucks that you won't be able to go much higher.
C. I need more pokeballs.

does evolving really do anything besides giving access to new moves? does it increase the stat ceiling or can a fully powered up pidgy have as much CP as a fully powered up pidgeot

gee maybe since it hasn't been out a month yet they haven't designed an end game for people that play it all day

Team Valor all the way. Took over two gyms last night and got home at midnight on a work night <_<; This morning was fun.

I do enjoy actually going outside though. At Starbucks I got to show off my Aerodactyl and Meowth knowing I earned that shit.

What's super frustrating is there are no electric pokemon near me... in a 90 mile radius. I did some serious traveling between PA/NJ/NY and nothing.

And the only thing I've been cheating with is at stop light/signs it counts as walking. I've actually been out walking.
Not today though. Today is bad. "Heat dome" is real.

does weight/height even effect anything or is it in there for later updates
Title: Re: Pokemon GO

There's lots of theories about the weight, but I don't think anything has come from it yet. Thoughts about larger being stronger or stuff, but nothing proven.
Title: Re: Pokemon GO
Post by: Fake from State Jarm on July 21, 2016, 10:07:37 pm
well I've looked at 10 cp pidgies, they have varying weight and height... if that was effecting the stats you'd think they'd have different cp's. so I think it's nothing for now, but maybe they add something in the future.

Title: Re: Pokemon GO

The cemetery to the north of me has like 6 poke stops in it. I just... don't really want to wander through there. I'd rather go to the park. Which has like 4 stops in the same spot. I just can never find where the perfect spot is. I haven't been brave enough to approach the mass of guys sitting on this hill.

Title: Re: Pokemon GO
Post by: im317 on July 23, 2016, 04:36:21 pm
i dont have to cross any streets to get to the cemetery, which is appealing. plus its probably only a slightly longer walk then the short walk around the building i do when im taking the dog to go pee.

there are a fair number of places in walking distance that require me to cross a very busy 4 way intersection. i should see what there is on this side of that street. this will also help me learn the area. we haven't lived here long and i never really took things in even thought i passed it a lot over the years.

i caught the seahorse guy today, im blanking on the name. went to a park that's supposed to have a pokestop but the stop wasn't with the field and playground equipment. since i went with my friend and his daughter once we got to the playground we were kind of stuck there until we were ready to leave, so i couldn't go find the pokestop that really should be with the other stuff imo.

also was half way or so to the cemetery when my dog pooped, so i had to pick that up and turn around to go throw it out. at that point i was home again so i guess i will try again tomorrow for the cemetery. dont really feel like walking in there after dark, and until i know i can reach it without going inside i dont plan on walking over there at night.

caught a Ratata and Sparrow when i just took my dog out for the last time before bed.
Title: Re: Pokemon GO
Post by: im317 on July 25, 2016, 12:00:32 pm
stumbled across 2 Pidgeys and found out where i can reach a pokestop. also how do i make the settings stay set? every time i turn the app on i have to change them again. i dont want any music or vibrations and such. i want battery saving and no AR.

went for a long walk around the cemetery and other stuff. hit up maybe 3 or 4 pokestops, passed 2 gyms that i will make a mental note of for later. caught a bunch of stuff including a Jigallypuff.

does taking a picture of a Pokemon do anything? you get exp or something?
Title: Re: Pokemon GO
Post by: —- on July 26, 2016, 08:38:21 am
Pictures are useful if you're going for the pokedex medal where you register a certain number into the "system". If you try catching a new pokemon but fail to, it won't register and will only come up as a gray shadow when you look at your pokedex (instead of an otherwise white question mark). The camera I think registers it for you. Otherwise, nah, useless.

Also children and dogs seem to be getting in your way.

walking my dog gives me a great incentive to go out and get us both exerciser. plus i dont look out of place as long as i have my dog with me, at some point i figure i will find a pokestop or gym somewhere it would look odd for a 28 year old to be all alone.

Post by: Fake from State Jarm on August 02, 2016, 04:39:30 pm
wow. well a few days ago they tweaked the stats on all the attacks (dethroning vaporeon), removed the tracking feature and changed how pokemon spawn. They are doing it without any announcement so maybe it's fluctuating because they're continually tweaking it -- or maybe they set it up to fluctuate, which might be a smart way to keep things fresh. I know they want to prevent third party tracking like you saw with pokevision and whatnot

I'm also convinced they made pokemon harder to catch in general. raspberry + ultra ball on a squirtle = he runs away after first hit

Pokemon GO has lost over 15 million players in a single month

New figures released today in a report by Bloomberg suggest that the gaming app is now in freefall.



I mean, I don't know why that's a surprise. I was bored within two weeks.

the question is how many players did they have to start with? i know they had over 50 million downloads and probably over 75 million. they had also hit over 22 million concurrent users. plus this is 15 million daily users. what does that mean? if they go 1 day in a month without playing? 1 day in a week?

maybe just uninstalling the app
Title: Re: Pokemon GO
Post by: im317 on August 24, 2016, 02:02:50 pm
i think part of this is less people downloading it, as i read it went from #1 to #11 in downloads. however it stayed at #1 grossing App. given how many people had downloaded it very early it makes sense that it would not hold up in downloads.

yeah there wasn't a lot to the game once you got over that initial frenzy.

someone else will do this GPS navigational play better. but it'll take a game with some meat and bones, not just 'throw balls at stuff then throw that stuff at gyms'

like how neat would it be if there was a post-apocalyptic game based on GPS data where you had to set up camps and scavenge and fight raiders and creatures and whatnot. maybe a laid-back population-driven rpg/rts mix.

no, my account isn't banned, just my device.  they rolled out an update that just blanket bans all rooted devices from accessing the service.  which, apparently, also includes devices not actually rooted.

the only solution is, ironically, to go ahead and root my device, and install a tool called Magisk to toggle "rooted" status on and off.

What a garbage company. Lucky for me, this shit got old for me and I just hadn't uninstalled the app out of hope I would find new momentum. Now, I truly don't give a shit anymore.

Step 1) Release literally the biggest game changing...game app that actually even sways Nintendo - a company famous for being stuck in their ways/dumb bullshit.

Step 2) Run it into the ground as hard as you can just keep going pow right into the dirt

it's partly because some people don't have time to play the game. so they will pay others to play it for them.

but whatever who cares. they demonstrated the viability of this 'new' genre. someone else will come along with a better implementation

You know, come to think of it, my earlier statement, and yours, are very misleading...
There is no one indian cuisine, and honestly not all of it is shit out your window hot either,
The kinds of regular cuisine and dishes change every few hundred miles.

If you cook, and you want to, i could give you some easy recipes that I enjoy.

yogurt chicken, sounds disgusting, named misleadingly, tastes fantastic, adjustable spices for how hot, or not, you want it.
Wanna try it? Ill make you a video.

i had some weird green paste that you put on the fried tortilla. 0 hotness factor, 0 sexyness factor, not sure why i actually tried it.

but im always down to try simple recipes. i do like spice though, dash of ghost pepper in my ramen is so damn good!

They are a-comin.

Also that...is a very confusing menu...our food here doesnt...or shouldnt...come in western courses, which is what these chaps have tried to do...
A lot of the items on the menu are misleading to downright wrong...
for example;
Makhani, has nothing to do with butter chicken and the person who tries to pawn makhani as BC, should be hanged...

Next time just ask for a butter chicken, a couple of butter garlic naans or simple butter naans if you dont like garlic, and paalak paneer. (pronounced Paa-luck Puh-neer...dunno why i felt i should explain that)

^
that, is 1 full meal.

Or, if you feel like vegetarian, go for chole bhatude. (Cho-lay bhuh-thu-day, ch from Dick CHEney, bh as in bhutan, thu like 2)
