Pokemon Go (Mobile July 2016)

[Myrrh_Quetz]

This is the Windower debate all over again. Something makes the game playable and people are against it for the dumbest reasons

[Katlan]

For those of you who think the attacking/escaping is a gimmick to get you to buy Pokeballs, are there not any Pokestops near where you guys play? I've never been remotely close to running out of Pokeballs. At one point I had 130+ Pokeballs and Great Balls, EACH!

Only thing I spend my Pokecoins on are incubators and lucky eggs. 2 things you can't get from Pokestops. I can't imagine blowing coin on Pokeballs. But then again, I do live within walking distance (5 miles) of 25 or so Pokestops.

The Pokemon attacking more frequently is annoying but not unbearable. Requires timing and reduces your ability to play while driving (may come with unintended consequences).

You clearly arent high enough level to the point where pokemon above 10CP resist all balls like crazy and berrys and bail after a few failed attempts. Once you get close to lv 20ish shits a real pita and your using resources left and right. That and the highest tier balls are not common enough to where you want to waste them

I don't see it mentioned in here, Nintendo has delayed the release of the PoGo Plus accessory until September. No further explanation.

Lol. I'm level 27. I'm well aware of the shitty CP pokemon giving people fits. Pokeballs just seem extremely easy to come by. But everyone's surroundings are different. Just still baffling that people are running out and using coins on them. Sounds like people need to frequent Pokestops much more often.

Poke balls I run out of only because I have to use 5-15 for each pokemon because of the new attack pattern/decreased catch rate because of my level. It's bullshit and inexcusible than going up in level reduces your catch it.

Potions on the other hand I'm swimming in.

Edit: to give you an example, a week ago I had 250+ balls. Since hitting 20, I'm struggling to stay at 350/450 items. Right now, Imight at 323/450, and only 21 of those are pokeballs. I don't even have razzberries because I used them all trying to compensate for the reduced catch rate.

So for Android users, which trackers are still active?

Pokemon Finder

Only one I could find in a few minutes of searching. works pretty well. Its faster than a poke vision search and scans wider area. But you cant manually scan a location, only where you are. You can also set notifications, have had anything i selected pop.

Was considering going out and playing this in the park today, but a bit too lazy/fuck the police


edit: Also, Fuck apple

[Salodin]

So reddit is blowing up over this update. People have been requesting refunds en masse, and it's working since half the purpose of this game, tracking pokemon, is now a nogo.

Spent $25 on this game, $5 came back right away, but I had to call about the other two orders. They refunded one, said I was sol on the other.

Balls are plentiful if you live/work very close to a stop. Otherwise they aren't, at all. From my apt there is exactly one stop within visible distance in game. If you want to walk ~2 miles there's a second stop. And a third another 2 miles on. At my office there is nothing, period. No stop, no gym, frequently no pokemon at all on the radar.

Even if I hit the first two stops (and the first again on the way back) every day, that's still only ~10 balls if you're lucky. It's not hard to go through that many or more.

It's not hard to go through that many or more on a single pokemon

I'm 25, no problems with balls. I have over 100 each of poke, greater and ultra balls.

Potions however I have barely none of, mainly because I capture 8 gyms a day for the bonus.

Curveballs and nice/great/excellent throws all increase the chance to capture. I have no problem catching 300+ pidgeys with even normal pokeballs

Thanks bruv.

Re: Pokestops

I don't have an issue with that since my job is a Pokestop but I just ditch most of my revives and potions since I'm still about catching 'em right now. Being in the city definitely helps, I can only imagine how shit this would be if you lived rural. They need daily Pokeballs for logging in, this is like mobile game 101.

@Salodin

True... But seriously, can they not toss us some pity pokeballs if you've been out for idk.. 24 hours? Or just a daily allotment of 5-10? Anything would help for people that don't have a ton of stops nearby.

*Loads up PoGo*
*Looks at Radar*
Oh cool, only Pidgeys and Rattatas. Man, people are right. Tracker sites were such big cheats. Well, time to continue to hunt only Pidgeys and Rattatas.

[Tyrath]

Also apparently they removed xp bonus for landing in green circle? And lowered the scan radius to 70m instead of 100m.

[Katlan]

Sweet requested refunds. thanks for the heads up!

[Tyrath]

Be careful though games like these if you force refund from the store they can ban your account

[6souls]

Just downloaded the update on android. Pokeball is now whiter/brighter and the blinker is pink instead of red. Razz Berries animations lag. The "connection lost" when landing a pokeball will now give a catch or release message if you let the loading icon finish.

Edit: I am also getting a GPS lost message every time I enter the pokemon catch screen.

Can't force a refund on Apple. You make a request. My request was just approved as I spoke to somebody over the phone and explained the situation. Got 100% of my money back since I started playing.

What's the process?
