damn you're extreme. Yea, what else is there for you to do? If you get a few strong ones and hold some high end gyms you can get free coins, and that seems to be the endgame atm.

I'm only level 7. Is there anything I can contribute to fellow Valor gyms that have a bunch of 1000+ cp pokemans?

You can train at the gyms to raise their prestige and leave your own weak pokemon as a speedbump against others.

This site says you can "train" pokemon to evolve resistance to their weaknessesVaporeon, Jolteon, And Flareon: Eevee Evolutions Plus More Secrets About Game Revealed
Sounds like bullshit. They say that training a Vaporeon against electric attacks will make it like you less but there's no metric in game for pokemon happiness. Stated as fact with zero supporting evidence.

That article is entirely bullshit other than the Eevee naming easter egg. EVs are stat boosts on gameboy, eg fighting a pikachu gives +1 speed on next level up to a certain limit. You've NEVER been able to develop resists, only defence boosts via EVs.

It would be easy to confirm EVs being in game as power boosts always give the same CP each time. I don't think they are in.

IVs are random variation in stats on gameboy. This is also easy to test by getting two identical pokemon to max power boost level, these could be in?

Get ready for shitty games journalists posting bullshit to cash in on the craze because they are shit at games. They will give up and start posting about Jinx tits and blackface soon, also game doesn't have a black gay muslim disabled female professor!

so level 21 and I don't know if it's server related.

But Pokemon, even low level green circles are running away after 1 failed catch attempt.

it's literally impossible to catch anything - every attempt fails on the first go and the pokemon runs away

XP doesn't really matter after 20 so I don't care. Eggs seem to be the way to go for getting rare/missing pokemon.

That sounds more like you've been soft banned to me. That's about what happened when I was.

See this kind of stuff interests me but if I did it normally would ruin the game for me and those around me.

All of this stuff is fascinating to me.
What's fascinating is that from that post the game transmits the GPS location of all the pokemon near you, which is asinine and opens the game up to maphacking very easily. It's also surprising because when you're out collecting you can run to where you know the pokemon is, but it still takes ~10s for it to spawn after you stop. I assumed this meant that your device doesn't know a pokemon is near you until you are at 0 footsteps.

I have to imagine they'll patch the game to only show locations of pokemon within 0 footsteps, but who knows. These things don't get patched until they're widely abused and they have so much bigger problems it could be months.

Damn man, someone get me a military grade gps system to put in my iphone. Only gave me credit for 200m walked at the grocery store and I damn sure walked more than that.

My gps is so bad I seem to get more credit for "walking" in my car than I do when I actually walk.

Couldn't get shit to load at all earlier, sucks bros.

Just got back from a pokemon excursion. Am jogging with my toddler in a jogging stroller. I see a couple with one of these furballs near them:
yorkshire-terrier-04.jpg


Notice it's not on a leash. Keep jogging and ignoring it. Thinking, "Please don't charge at me, please don't charge at me, please don't..."

Dog charges. No barking, just charging.

I look at the couple, they're just standing there.

When the dog gets close I jump in front of the stroller, grab dog by nape, lift it up one armed away from me. It starts trying to bite, then starts yelping. Couple says nothing. I say, "Sorry for scaring you, I'm not going to let dogs charge my kid.". I keep jogging. Couple says nothing.

I get to park to let kid play and me to catch breath because I'm fat. The dog's actual owner (not part of the couple pulls up) and scolds me for touching her blind dog. I tell her I'm going to do the same thing to every random dog that charges my kid without a leash. We converse and part semi-amicably.

Damn man, someone get me a military grade gps system to put in my iphone. Only gave me credit for 200m walked at the grocery store and I damn sure walked more than that.
I think it's more server issues than GPS fidelity. Your GPS probably has an accuracy within 10 meters (which is really bad, the GPS I use at work can get to 1CM accuracy with RTK correction) which would make it trivial to get a route length estimate that matches what you'd throw into google maps.

I have a route that is within 50ft of 1 mile in my neighborhood, when the servers are doing well I get 0.8 miles jog/walking it.
