What's the little white pokeball symbol that occasionally appears in the top left corner? You tap it, it makes a noise and goes away

My local pub appears to be a "gym"

Fullers have sent out a memo telling their pub staff how to deal with an influx of gamers.

Those lunch boxes man....

The incubation bit while you walk is daft - I need to walk 5km, with the app open all that time. By the time I've walked 5km the battery will be dead...

Good fun though

Is it the distance that's important or the time? This could be better motivation than C25K!

Distance...

Also, how do you know where the monsters are? There's the bit at the bottom right corner of the screen, you tap it, a load appear but then how do you know where they are

This ends with everyone carrying around brick like 80s phones.

Ive noticed that if you click on it, you get something appear on your map. I'm guessing I need to go and see if there is something there.

I'm not seeing anything though

Also, what are the little green leaves type things that occasionally flutter on the map

I think you've answered your own question.

It's barely noticeable and you need to be facing the right way! Also, I've only seen it when it's a pokemon that is 1 footprint away.

Have I though? They don't seem to correspond with monsters appearing at all

Still haven't worked out what the white pokeball symbol that sometimes appears top left is either

Yeah sorry, I just assumed that's what it meant. Apparently it is "where they generally appear" rather than there is definitely one there.

"In the lower-right corner of your screen, you will see a small white bar with silhouettes of Pokémon that are close to your current location. Tap this bar to see all nearby Pokémon; tap a single Pokémon to track it. These Pokémon will have paw prints underneath them denoting how close (or far) they are from you: One paw print means close, while three paw prints mean further away. These paw prints will decrease/increase as you get closer/further from the Pokémon. "

Means the app is talking to the server

I'd presumed that was just an egg timer/spinning disc indicating the app is working/refreshing

 

[Vintage Paw]

That HAS to be satire.

Yes, it is. They have been trolling super serious gamer bros for months (maybe a year or more). It's amazing so many take them seriously.

 

[Vintage Paw]

That white bar with the pokemon silhouette and paw prints... if you're facing and moving in the right direction towards whichever pokemon you're tracking every now and again a green outline will radiate out from the white bar.

I'm level 3 now. It's quite hard to flick the balls at the flying ones, took me like 10 goes.

I've just discovered you can pick up balls that miss, thus not wasting them

I send my kids out in the evening to hatch my eggs.

Quite effective playing this on the bus.

I live in the back end of beyond (Stoke, lol) and there are 3 gyms right by me, one at the end of my shitty little road. There are loads of poke stops nearby. And someone just set up a lure by one of them. And the nearest gym just flipped from Mystic to Valor. People are actually playing it in my neighbourhood. Which is something I never, ever thought would happen.

 

[ffsear]

Ohhhh Croydon, I never knew that

 

[Glitter]

I wanted to be cynical but that actually sounds like quite good fun

Same. Am I going to end up getting the fucking thing now?

Do it!

 

[chilango]

Is there any difference between the teams?

 

[Fingers]

I have just caught a Wild Zubat without even leaving my bed. Got it with my second ball as well.
