Pokemon Go

[trashpony]

I reckon if you don't live (or work) near a stop (like you, I have one outside my house I can access from my front room) it can be quite easy as you have to make the effort to go to a stop to get more.

Yes, I think that must make a huge difference. I pass 4 on my way to take the foal to school and there are always masses of pokemon round them. Life would be a lot easier (and I'd catch a lot more) if there was a pokestop I could access from within the house.

I was trying to get the ponyto on his head. Next time

I'm enjoying it too. I'm fucking shite at it though

I've walked 3k today, hatched an egg (which was disappointingly a caterpie), got battered at a gym and caught a good few new species. I did stop at a coffee shop near the canal purely because there was a gym right next to it, only to find there was no fucking signal. I'd ordered a large as well planning on spending a while there.

I have some (more) questions. How do you leave your guys at the gym to train? And how come the wild ones all have different cps? I've just had a Paras break out of six balls ffs. They're usually pretty weedy.

I run out of balls a lot. A) I'm a bit hit and miss anyway and B) I don't live that near a pokéstop but there seem to be quite a variety of creatures near me.

You can only leave one at a friendly (same team) gym if it has a free slot - a level 4 gym has 4 slots for example. When you click on a gym look at the little circles and crown in he top left corner - if one of the circles is empty, there is a slot free. At this point you will see a logo in he bottom left of the screen that lets you choose which monster to leave there

It just won't load for me!

It freezes at the loading screen. Any hints?

Wait until the servers come back. It's the biggest issue I find

 

[bi0boy]

Is anyone else finding that Pokemon are related to nearby buildings? I found a Ryhorn outside a zoo and a Magnemte outside a university physics department. Maybe it's just coincidence...

Ah; it is as simply as that then. Thank you!

Different types will be attracted to different areas. You'll find water pokemon more frequently near water, grass pokemon more frequently near grassy areas, etc. I don't know if certain specific pokemon are more likely to be found by specific themed buildings though, or if it is just that more general categorisation.

Kings college hospital was overrun with Rattatas yesterday...

A coffing appeared when my brother lit up a fag.

And it would probably add 10 grand to the value of your house

I can't be bothered with those anymore. Hundreds of them.

So supposedly this game was funded by the CIA or something...

What a steaming pile of bollocks.

I'm wondering whether this is going to be the kind of thing that will go away if I ignore it for long enough, like Downton Abbey, or the kind that if ignored, will result in me not knowing what the fuck people are talking about a lot of the time, like Game of Thrones.

 

[Looby]

I haven't read the thread but have a question. Does your place become a pokestop or gym because you've been playing there? I ask because I work in a safe house so I really don't want someone playing the game there to attract loads of people hanging around it. Am I being paranoid?

No, they're fixed points built in to the game

My pokémon box is full, what do I do?

 

[strung out]

I just had a Jigglypuff hatch from one of my eggs!

 

[Glitter]

I've just started transferring all the weedy ones to the professor. Is that right?

Yes, they'll earn you candy to power up higher CP ones.

If I get rid of ones I only have one of will that take them out of my pokédex?

The cia funding is true, I read it in a proper newspaper. Take off the blinkers and see the world for what it is YOU are the game!

That I don't know - I've only transferred low CP duplicates.

Does the "nearby" thing actually work for anyone? Everything is always 3 footprints away for me

It's the one bit I can't work out. Select one you want to track and then what? Nothing ever appears on the screen, how are you meant to know which direction to go in
