Pokemon Go

For those interested in the nerdy side of 3rd party apps: The devs on PokemonGo reddit have cracked the unknown6 API which took down all the mapslast week giving them access to all the information again.

This means there will be livemaps up and running in the near future, and also means there may be apps in the pipeline that will tell you your Pokemons IV's (although at the moment the suggestions are that finding IVs directly through server requests may end up with a ban).

For the geeky amongst us: Pokemon Go Development • /r/pokemongodev
 
The "nearby" list is complete bollocks. Was out with my mate and his list was completely different to mine 50% of the time, and the rest of the time it was quite similar but not the same. When any interesting Pokemon came up they were never on either of our lists beforehand, and we never found any of the uncommon ones that we saw on either of our lists. So yeah.
 
yeah, I really dunno why they bothered keeping it, it's never the same as anyone elses, it proper lies.

honestly dunno why it's still there seeing as they took away all the other things that didnt work
 
I was roaming around the cemetery last night (just before dark... I'm no fool) because there are 2 gyms and 5 pokestops in there (important dead people I guess) and it was telling me there was a jigglypuff in there amongst other things but I never found a single pokemon of any variety.

Also, they've taken away the low power option. Why the fuck would they do that?
 
is just wandering round in the hope something is there, the fun on pokevision was getting to the place before despawn, it cant even be cheating, you still have to get off your arse and go get the damn thing

you can be wandering around an area with fuck all in it running down your battery on some wild goose chase nearby list that aint even there let alone nearby
 
ok so it doesn't show any near me but lots in town - it apparently crowd-sources pokemon data from other Go Radar users rather than Pokemon Go servers, so it only works if there are other app users near you.

Is this some comment on the pay to play nature of mobile games? Do we need to pay for the rest of this story. :confused:

:D My phone greatly dislikes me ending sentences, and often adds another word when I'm trying to press a full stop. Although I'm happy to accept payment if you're offering!
 
There's a new live radar you can find on the dev reddit I linked. You need load an exe file onto your PC, open a new Pokemon Trainer account, get an API key and run the application. You then hook up to it using your mobile via your mobile browser so you need to keep your PC on.

It's 100% accurate but very slow, but most importantly is LIVE AND NOT CROWDSOURCED. Sounds complicated, but if I managed it it really isn't.

Instructions here.



As I said it's really fucking slow, but in a city of 750,000 in Poland it's really necessary. So I don't care if it's cheating. Endless "snoozers" (wot my husband calls drowzees) is killing the game.
 
I well wanted to buy the pokemon magazine yesterday when my battery ran out but I woulda looked too much of a dickhead :(
 
I am so close to having enough to evolve one of my eevee's but I don't know which one to choose!
I want a Jolton.
 
Saffy

If you want a jolteon once you have enough candies :

1)Name it "Sparky" (capital S)

2) restart the app (so that the server recognises the name change)

3) evolve your Eevee.

If you want a vaporeon name it "Rainer"
If you want a flareon name it "Pyro"
(capitalise first letters and follow instructions above)
 
Ahhh Yes, I've done this.
I just can't can't make my mind up which one to evolve.
My son has all 3 and I'm lagging behind. :D
 
am having a gastly party :cool:

he was CP 425 IV 79% average

I powered him up, ran the numbers again to refine the IV and it looked better, so chanced it on another power up

he's now CP 448 IV 95% average

:cool:
 
Spent the afternoon in a pub near the river today. Got loads of magikarps and goldees but then run out of balls. There wasn't a stop anywhere near and there were more and more magikarps and goldees popping up. It was fucking annoying. Actually considered spending money just so I could get more karps. That 400 candy needed to evolve one seems miles away. :(
 
Sat across a road from a gym trying to level it up from 6 to 7 so that I can add a mon to it.

Guy walks past and shouts "you playing Pokemon?"

"Yes"

"Please tell me you are yellow and knocking that gym down."

"Nope I'm red and I'm building it up"

"Boo!" He shouts.

Then another guy leaves his flat cause he saw the gym was in combat.

"Are you yellow?"

"Sorry no red"

"Damn I thought you might be yellow so came to help"

(We had a nice chat though)

So very funny. The yellows are out numbered where I am and you can sense the wistful longing to meet other yellows.

Finally lost that gym at some point today (I wish there was some kind of journal so I could see what happened). Caught an Eksa though, first one of those, and got another geodude so I can evolve them now for another new one, got a couple of others that I need one or two more of so going to wait and build up a pidgey parade to evolve with a lucky egg.
 
Used my first lucky egg today, and went for pidgey, rattata and weedle evo stacking.

Big success. With phone now out of battery blitzed through level 19 entirely and now half way through 20

I live sandwiched in between two canals - one at the top of the street and one at the bottom. I'm swimming in magikarp.
 
Loads of charmanders around the Olympic Park. They don't come to the lures though. You have hunt them. I've had six on my radar a few times. I still don't know where half the spawning sites are.

I just checked the IV of a caterpie I got earlier on my way to burger king and I shouldnt have bothered because the max was 2.2% the average was 1.1% and the minimum was 0.0% I dont think I have seen anything so shit in my life.
