Pokemon Go (Mobile July 2016)

[Obsidian]

I spoofed longer than any one here and I'm still kickin it. Idk what y'all did to draw attention to yourselves.

Honestly, probably bounced between New York and my actual location too quickly. I bet if I just started a PTC account and played from my PC without leaving Central Park I'd probably be all right.

"Sniping" is a whole different thing though. If you've been doing that and not been banned yet, I got nothin'.

[Salodin]

I followed some very simple rules. Don't jump more than a few miles with out waiting at least 20min, don't jump to another country with out waiting at least 3 hours. Don't be tempted to snipe all the gyms in town.

Following that I've been fine, and I traveled to Australia often for the water pokes.

I never touched a gym but a few times I "sniped" a pokemon (Snorlax), where you just warp to it, engage it, then warp back to where you were and then start throwing balls.

Drowzees are everywhere for me also.

Drowzees are everywhere for me also.

I have an almost full Pokedex. I've only ever seen 2 Drowzee, still dont have Hypno.

I've been to 3 different provinces and the Pokemon for uncommon vary. Drowzee common in BC.

Police have charged Ruslan Sokolovsky, the video blogger who filmed himself playing Pokemon Go inside a Yekaterinburg cathedral, with committing extremism and offending religious sensitivities. Sokolovsky has been detained and awaits trial on Sept. 3 to determine if he will be arrested, his lawyer says. If convicted, Sokolovsky could face several years in prison.

On Aug. 11, Sokolovsky published a video on his YouTube channel showing him entering the Church of All Saints in Yekaterinburg and playing Pokemon Go on his iPhone throughout the cathedral. In a short speech at the beginning of the video, Sokolovsky says he rejects warnings reported in the media that playing Pokemon Go in churches could result in a prison sentence.

“This is complete nonsense,” Sokolovsky said, standing outside the Church of All Saints. “Who could get offended if you’re just walking around with your smart phone in a church?”

In mid-August, Valery Gorelykh, the regional police spokesperson, told local reporters that he personally wanted to see Sokolovsky sent to prison for “at least five years,” arguing that an example should be made, to discourage more Pokemon Go players from committing such blasphemy.

In early 2016, Sokolovsky launched a self-titled atheist magazine, writing, “We have been inspired by Charlie Hebdo and have decided that there are also too few such publications in Russia that take an absolutely amoral approach to ridiculing the contemporary national reality. Using the written word to take on the censorship piling on from all sides and what’s practically a police state now isn’t a new idea, but it’s just as relevant today as ever.”

Russia. Russia could get offended.

I feel an update coming along telling me to not play in churches or Russia soon.

[vagus]

Russia is a scary place.

In what other country can you be detained and then tried just to determine if the Crown will actually arrest you? Isn't that complete backwards?

[DrClout]

North Korea because. . . duh. I'm sure China as well.

[Vaspinne]

So anywhere with a dictator?

I meant the scan button turning red immediately when trying to scan. You have to just keep hitting it until it actually scans (lights up green when it's done).

I'm back in PA at the moment visiting my mom and Spearo is pretty common here. Back where I live in NE I barely ever saw Spearow. I've seen two Fearow on the nearby list, too.

I'm trying to find nest info for the area but the FB group isn't very active for here unlike the Nebraska ones.

Pokemon Buddy System

Hi everyone,

It’s been a busy summer and, in addition to battling bots and fixing bugs, we’ve also been busy working on some new features for our Pokémon GO Trainers. As you know, we recently released the new Pokémon Appraisal feature, which helps Trainers identify which Pokémon has the most potential for battle. Today we wanted to let you know about a new feature for the game that is just around the corner.

The next addition to Pokémon GO will be Buddy Pokémon. You will be able to pick your favorite Pokémon from your collection to become your buddy, opening up unique in-game rewards and experiences. Buddy Pokémon will appear alongside your Trainer avatar on your profile screen, adding helpful bonuses such as awarding Candy for walking together. You’ll also have the ability to change your Buddy Pokémon at any time.

We’ve got a lot more in the works this fall. Stay tuned here for all the details.

Thanks, The Pokémon GO Development Team

Possible way to get specific candies. I'll say that's neat. Still dependant on actually seeing a specific poke

[Sepukku]

Wow, just read the Moscow Times article and watched the kid's YT video of him in the church. Hope that Poliwag at least had perfect IVs.

[Tyrath]

King of the mountain! Longest ive ever held a gym. Sadly someone took it over before they closed :<

[Bilopdop]

That Pokebuddy system sounds great. I hatched a good Snorlax early on and have never seen one since. I will finally have a way to get candy to power him up.
