I ran into a pidgeot that was so damn far I could barely hit it if I swiped my hardest. Afterward I switched to this method (use AR, rotate phone down, point it diagonally at pokemon, then swipe diagonally) I think it's easier to control but not sure yet. It's impossible to do a one handed swipe...

what reddit science?

when you fight (aka train) at a same-team gym it levels up. When it levels up more people can put pokemon in it. So if you see a level 1 gym, just go train once and chuck a pokemon in it.

really don't trust that 3 step value, I think the 3 step value is much, much larger.

When he gets stationed in some shit hole, hopefully there's some pokestops there.

where'd you see this figure?

I wonder how they detect it. The ideas I had were: 1. Looking for ridiculous and obvious teleport behavior. 2. Look for suspicious looking GPS locations. Ex: if you spoofed your GPS and your location was steady with changing timestamps it'd be just as obvious as if you teleported to Manhattan...

You're right, they're not random. I don't know much about ingress but it seems driven by the XM Pool which is based on cell usage, no? I'm just saying that if they use user-feedback and tweak the locations around it might be better. Ex: It'd be better if the pokestop near me is in the park...

Cool. How confident are you that the gym wasn't there before? How many times did you visit that area before it spawned? I'm glad to hear they're tweaking things. The locations of the pokestops definitely seem randomly generated and tweaking and changing the location would improve it...

Until I see more evidence I think this is bullshit.

Up to you, but if you're trying to be efficient it's best to hit the soft cap of level 20, then save your stardust for high CP pokemon you catch. The CP of pokemon you catch is highly dependent on trainer level.

This isn't a game you're supposed to play seriously. There's a few intentional modalities that are very enjoyable if you pursue them. 1. Walking around different locations catching pokebros. 2. Walking with a group of people smashing gyms. If you're trying to be the best you had better...

Yeah I imagine that if they only ban from behavior it'd be easy to spoof your GPS location.

I couldn't figure out how to see xm pools in the intel map and can't figure out how to run the desktop version of iitc. It doesn't really matter, I wouldn't ever use the xm pools to determine which city or part of the city to go to. Unless I could use it to find some bugged area that had super...

This is especially true at higher levels where you need great / master balls to catch stuff. If you're not around a dense pokestop area you'll run out of balls very quickly.

aye but does it show you the XM Pools?

yeah this is inevitable and was done as soon as the game came out. Here's to hoping they aggressively ban cheaters. This game would be extremely easy to bot, and someone running a bot would become godly.

Not sure if legit, but interesting and worth trying. Can you access ingress enough to see these XM Pools? Use ingresss map to locate that hard to find Pokemon - Album on Imgur edit: I'd the pokemon spawns loosely correlate with what I see in my ingress map. Can I see the XM Pools here...

I'm going to try that soon and I'll be disappointed if it works as well as me jogging around.

Yeah I did the same thing wrt gyms which are the only way to earn pokebucks. The theory crafting I did is that you have to get your group of people, then blitz through as many gyms as you can in a circuit then collect the rewards. Maybe you can peak at ~5 gyms before you run out of gyms...

Good luck holding multiple gyms for any length of time. Even if you were in the top 0.01% of pokemon players and put a hard pipe hittin' pokey in the gym it'll be rolled over by the next group of people coming your way. The gym heavily favors attackers by letting attackers 6v1 for level 1...

What is the blue aura around my Pokemon? - Arqade Blue auras mean the Pokemon in question was captured recently (likely 0-24 hours old). This confers no bonus and has no advantage or disadvantage. You can verify this yourself by sorting all Pokemon by capture time. All the blue Pokemon will...

Thinking about getting: Amazon.com : Schwinn High Timber Mountain Bicycle, Matte Black, 29-Inch : Sports Outdoors for general purpose onroad/offroad cycling. I'm 6'2". I probably won't use it a lot. Thoughts?

I started putting links in the OP. What I think I really need is a national map of rare spawn "farms". Maybe they're bullshitters but I keep hearing about certain areas that have a high prevalence of certain pokemon. I actually hoped earlier in this thread when the game was announced that...

That's basically it. We went for Mediah castle against a tough alliance and couldn't take out their base in time so it was a stalemate. The region and node war choosing and politics is a goofy meta-mechanic and a tough call from a leadership perspective. AFAIK the top guilds on Orwen server...

Game was literally unplayable today at 9pm est. I imagine there was a lot of prostelytizing at school and work.

They should embrace it. Over half my company plays this game.

Catch up, Hodj. The meta of this game is a different dimension that can't be expressed with mouse/kb.

This is the second game I've played and the first, Fallout shelter, I eventually just instaled on my PC through an emulator. While this is silly to say, the mechanics of playing PoGo on a mobile device are much superior than trying with a laptop or PC.

doesn't hog much data, especially if you download local maps. Battery life is a huge issue. You basically need to either have a nice battery, a battery case or backup batteries. I got a couple for $12 each that should increase the battery life by 4x.

hit them in the right spot, hit them when the green circle is small and maybe hit them with a curve ball.

The meta bit about this game is that the "skill" revolves around: 1. "Go"ing to the right place. 2. "Go"ing faster. 3. Being able and willing to use a simple method of triangulating where pokemon are from the very basic data provided. In other words, all that micro and twitch skill I've...

At least half of the people in my office play pogo and we're all on the same team. We just stomped a couple gyms next to us and collected everything in a cemetary.

Uh, yeah it's a good thing if you want PokemonGo to have legs and more content like it to be made.
