Pokemon Go!
 

For those Pokemon fans: If you guys have a smart phone, you should download Pokemon Go. ;) I just caught a squirtle for my first Pokemon. :')

Actually, it just got released in Australia so I'm not sure if you guys will have it yet. (Since most of you are across the other side of the planet to me).

In case you have no idea what I'm talking about refer to this: https://youtu.be/2sj2iQyBTQs

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

I just went out and caught like 5 zuubats, a growlith, a meowith and a weedle before the servers crashed lol

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

I dont live in Australia, but I will totally be downloading this as soon as it gets released in the US.

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

Haha! It's too cold to walk! :( I'll go out tomorrow before work

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

I'm surprised you guys didn't get it before us!

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

It's doesn't surprise me that much. EVERYONE is going to want to download pokemon go, and it could very easily overload their servers.it could be that they want to let in people in waves so that they won't suddenly go down.

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

True. We usually get everything last here though, so it's a nice surprise.

It's so much fun you guys! Every building/restaurant/Park is a pokemon gym, or place to collect items, etc.

Update: just caught a ratata in my room! XD alright, promise I won't spam you all.

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

not everyone. You need a massive data plan to play the game. It's an MMO that requires travelling afaik.

That immediately ix-nays me from it.

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

Tfw you're unknowingly working out from all the walking you do, cool app tbh. Too bad I don't have a smartphone, FeelsBadMan.

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

You can get it in any country on Android by googling "Pokemon GO apk" and downloading it. You might have to change security settings on your phone in order to do so, but works great around my location in Massachusetts! I got to level 5 and was heading towards a gym to try before the servers went down and I had to go into work. They are still not working for me :( but it is so much fun!

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

just caught a 200 CP golbat. That SHITS on every gym leader around me in about a 10 km radius. My time to shine bois.

Edit - my Golbat is now like 400 CP. LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

it's out in the US

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

Time to uninstall Ingress and get this :O Now I have more excuses to walk into random places, woohoo!

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

DOWNLOADED
SEEMS TO BE SUPER BUGGY THOUGH

still, I've caught a charmander, paras, and ratatatattttaatteinata

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

downloaded! only caught charmander bc walking places at 11:30 pm lol

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

That would be cool if it changed what pokemon spawn depending on the weather, time of day, and location.
Pokemon is about adventure after all.

And OH SHIT. Reach a certain elevation and more flying types appear! Climb mountains and shit!
Go to the top of Mt. Everest and battle Red. o.o
Go to the ocean.

Hit up major landmarks to get legendaries!
Each wonder of the world has some crazy event HOLY BALLS THE POSSIBILITIES


CAN YOU BATTLE FRIENDS??!!!

God damn im so hyped by the sheer opportunities i could come across i wish i had a damn phone

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

Apparently my phone isn't compatible with the game and it's only 3-4 years old, is Pokemon Go really that hard to run?

EDIT: Thanks to Tarrik for helping me download the APK and install it on my phone manually, game runs absolutely fine.

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

Just installed this tonight after work, and spent an hour walking around town.

Hit up two pokestops and caught like 16 pokemon

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

Sister got it, but she can't get any pokemon cause they're all in deep ravines or on the side of a cliff. Plus all we got are Zubat and Ekans, so she's not so thrilled.

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

Anybody see any pokemon outside of the 1st gen yet?

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

the devs already confirmed it'll just have the original 150 to start, with plans to add more later on

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

Yes, so buggy! It's on and off saying my gps isn't working, but for some reason I've caught a million ratatattatas in my area. Was hoping my workplace would be a pokecentre. Haha.

There's also an eevee near my house!

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

Your GPS turns off whenever you lock your phone, I downloaded an app called GPS Keeper Lite that is supposed to fix it, but it doesn't seem to work. Your results may vary.

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

so i downloaded and remembered i have to step outside.

edit: nvm i was able to catch a charmander without having to leave. success.

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

What do you get if you go to the golden gate bridge in san fransisco?

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

oh my goodness my cat could always see them !!

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

So there's 124, and yeah the gps is kinda weird because I guess they can't program all events correctly in every area haha

Also, I've seen an Eevee near my house my for a few hours and even tried chasing it down (there's a pokeshop at my corner)..

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

I caught a mr mime at methadone clinic

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

That is so cute.

Also @ supermoe: I rarely lock my phone when I'm using apps. So I'm pretty sure it should still work

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

If there is a way to get this working on Android 4.3 I am in.


But it looks like that aint a thing so probably using this as my excuse to upgrade my Samsung Ace to something good

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

It should work on your Android? Weird. Just buy a new phone tomorrow. :p

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

Probably a good thing that I don't like Pokemon? Considering I don't have a smart phone, I'd be sad if I wanted the app and couldn't!

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

Had so much fun with this already, apparently people in my area play too so i might eventually stumble upon others

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

There was a charmander in my living room

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

caught an abra! :3

Everybody at my work is playing and we're gonna take over a gym on campus.

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

There was a Drowzee at the bar I work at bwahaaha

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

tfw paras has 65 combat power

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

I found a Venonant with 134cp lol

Tfw you actually go outside for recreation, use an incense, servers crash, go back home, game loads, incense was active the whole fucking time, used remaining time, use another incense, game crashes AGAIN.

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

This is true pain.

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

I'm not using incenses until they fix the issues with the game lol.

Hopefully the refund them

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

Needs 4.4 or higher. Aimed at 6.0

4.3 cant be upgraded without hacking

Samsung Acer cant really be hacked because its super simple for a "smartphone"

Need new phone nooooow

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

aaaaaaaaaahhhh

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

People at my work were freakin about about this at my work today, sounds cooooool

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

Catching up with a friend I haven't seen in 15 years, and we're gonna spend the day catching pokemon. XD

Hopefully the bugs get fixed soon.

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

Went for a 20 minute walk and caught a Drowzee, Venonat, Pidgey and Weedle...woo?

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

I've been sitting here at the bar for 10 minutes and caught 3 Drowzees, 2 Jynx and a Zubat.

And I'm drunk

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

caught a raticate today~ along with an eevee, a bellsprout, and a weedle

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

I've been trying to find eevees! It says they're in my area, but they never pop up. I just got an abra, pidgeotto, and zubat. :)

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

I have an eevee with 107 CP lol


I've caught like 5 of them and just give the lower levels to the professor. my house is like a hotspot so many types of pokemon

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

YoU CAN BE THE LEADER OF GYMS HOYL FOK

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

Got a tauros in my living room :)

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

I currently control 3 gyms around my city. Would be 4 but one of them is hp glitched and wont go past 1 hp. smh.

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

I installed it, and I can't really say I'm impressed.

I couldn't use my existing trainer account I use for my TCG collecting / game stuff. (I literally tried three times with a 20 minute attempt each.)

Pay to win gyms gonna be a thing soon / later down the road if they're not already.

Not impressed with the pokemon selection, instead of going in order they could you know

have tried to splice in a bit of everything

/don't actually like most of gen one as a whole

But I could be pretty wrong. Hoping to be wrong actually.

PS: Very much looking forward to being able to catch a Meloetta / Gardevoir somewhere down the road. Maybe an Absol tooooooo

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

Literally having so much fun when I can get into the app properly. I ran two miles today looking for Pokemon. Found a Krabby in a random driveway, a Drowzee in my neighbor's yard, and there are two PokeStops right down the block!

Decided I was done for the day and got back to my room when I saw a Seadra and bolted out the door to find it. My mom ran after me going "Who did you find now?!"

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

I need to find a pokestop with wifi... =[

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

Just started playing
There's like 30 pokestops on my college campus.

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

there were like 15 people playing at a bar i went to yesterday and there was a gym right next to it
this game

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

I have a couple pokestops around my house, and a few on the way to work, but absolutely nothing around my work. Not even any nearby Pokemon. Poop

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

HOYL FOK

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

It looks like they just reused a lot of the Ingress portal locations for all of the stuff in Pokemon Go :P I'm not complaining though since now I got two shops and a gym right down the street from work where I walk every day. Doesn't seem to be any pokemon around that area though ;_; There was a shit ton around my apartment, so I guess that'll be my farming spot.

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

there's a TON of grass in my neighborhood which is awesome, then when i have to go to the nearby college town i can farm like 50 pokestops on campus
i got a kingler but its moves aren't very good :|

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

There should be pokemon centers at hospitals lol

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

Well, i just got this 2 days ago, and havent gotten to do much but have some pretty cool catches so far!

- Squirtle, it was on my counter by the coffee pot.
- Koffing, found it today right as I was leaving my work parking lot! :D
- Eevee
- Zubat, inside the mall, how nobody notcied his ass flying around is beyond me.
- Shellder! Best catch imo so far.
- Weedle, Caterpie, Spearow and Pidgey!

I also have 2 pokeStops right across the street and 2 Gyms as well. Can't go yewt, though only lvl 4, but really close!

I love this shit!

Re: Pokemon Go!

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

Yes! Wtf. XD. My hospital isn't even on the map haha. My friend's hospital is a big pokestop though.

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

finally took an hour and a half road trip and back to catch some shit. nothing spectacular though.

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

Went for a very long drive with my buddy

we caught a lot of stuff and I got a good lookin' Eevee /hype

anyone know if I get to choose how it evolves or?

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

Unfortunately you don't get to choose which one it evolves to. :(

Re: Pokemon Go!

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

Walked around 6k this morning. Caught a few new Pokemon like a Pinsir and hatched a 5k egg that gave me a Growlithe. Hatched a 2k egg and it gave me a Magikarp (lmao 400 candy to evolve)

Still haven't found a Pokemon I was super stoked about tho

Re: Pokemon Go!
 

Yeah, magikarp is a bitch to evolve XD

I hatched a 2km egg for a geodude, and have 6 more eggs, 2 of them being 5km

today i caught:

Pidgeotto
Slowpoke
Ghastly

can't remember what else, the app doesnt work well on my wifi, which im currently using so it wont display my pokedex. but i am somewhere close to 30-32 pokemon!
