Pokemon Go

What sort of strength do pokemon have to be for you to at least have a fighting chance at a gym? Son is now level 5 but could do without the drama if he is just going to get smashed.

Thames Path is literally teeming with the little fuckers by the way. Phone was buzzing every fifty yards.

Depends on who has the gym. Just look at the monster(s) in there and compare to yours.
 
I caught a thing today. A something-carp. All my others seem quotidian, but I'm more excited about that.

All round, I expect the game isn't unite for me. I don't really do walking.
 
Went to central London today. Big Ben was held by that Evan Edinger bloke off of YouTube, and there was a Vaporeon holding Trafalgar Square.

All in all there was a lot more variety to catch than the endless pigeons and rats in my neighbourhood.

I've deleted it now.

It was getting boring just finding endless rats and pigeons.

Too much strain on battery and data to get much more out of it.

Ah well.
 
So, the egg hatching thing. It doesn't use a pedometer, but rather it uses your gps location to see how far you're moving.

So no sneaky get-arounds.

It's speed limited - 10 or 15mph, I can't work it out exactly and seen various people saying one or the other.

Have seen articles/videos of people saying they've put their phone on a record turntable or a model train set and it counts those, I've certainly clocked up a few k on my bike coming home from work today, but not all the distance so I reckon it's probably 10mph limit, I don't cycle fast.
 
I had it on in my pocket yesterday whilst cycling and it hardly picked up anything. And I was cycling slowly at times (on a towpath with dog walkers in front etc.).

I'm guessing it doesn't work if you put the phone into hibernation. But I put it in my pocket still showing the game and... nothing.
 
It's certainly clocked different distances as compared to my apple health app, which is open all the time. 2 miles in the health app registered as less than 0.4 miles in PoGo.
 
It probably only picks it up when the servers are up?

I've been in the park today, went for a walk all round it and there were hardly any of the little fuckers. :( I was at my Mum's yesterday and didn't see one either. I don't know if it doesn't like me because I don't walk far. I'll take the baby out for a nice walk tomorrow and see what I can find.
 
It seems very random. I took the dog for a walk for over an hour on the each today - Pokemon free. Went to collect coal from school - got 6 on the way there and 4 on the way home
 
Was helping a friend get to Kings today. Bloody loads of pokestops, and some had lures, so I caught loads. Lots of duplicates, but also my first squirtle, an oddish, and a bellsprout with a CP of 124.

As far as I can tell, the more players there are in an area, the more appear.

Failing that, use a scent thingy, that brings them out.

Or look for pokestops with a lure on.
 
Dunno what it's like elsewhere, but holding on to gyms round here just doesn't happen.

I've taken over several now and never last more than a couple of hours at most. 10 mins was the lowest :D

Just so many people playing, you can see the battles happening all the time, the controlling team colours changing by the hour. Getting a bonus for 20 hours just isn't ever going to happen for anyone.

What's a lure? Is that when theyhave the purple confetti on?

Where can I learn this schizzle?
 
Firstly kudos for the shizzle glitter.

My entire fucking office is obsessed with it. It's what I get working with 20 something animators.

Yes, the confetti. You can buy one from the shop and do it yourself if you want/have the coins to do so.

As to learn all this stuff - a mixture of trial and error/Google.
 
Yep. I had no idea how to fight in a gym so I avoided them for a while as I didn't want to waste any good pokemons.
But it turns out they don't die, they just 'faint' :D so get in there and mash the buttons, job done.:thumbs:
