Pokemon Go (Mobile July 2016)

[Gokku]

When a pokemon runs away, you now get 25 exp.

been that way for a long long time you get more depending on other things as well , i think you get 1/4th the exp you would have gotten if the mon didnt run , sometimes you get more then 25

I guess I never noticed.

[Kaslo]

I thought that exp was what you would have gotten from "Nice!" "Great!" "Excellent!" tosses if you had caught the pokemon.

[Sepukku]

All eggs you had prior to them flipping the switch today will not hatch the new pokemon. Only eggs acquired once the update hit. Pretty much a money grab with the incubators. With the polar vortex approaching and temps dropping that may be it for me with this game. I'll redownload it in spring I think and give it another chance, maybe.

I'm basically only "playing" if I'm already out doing something.

Just stopped at Walmart to grab cookie ingredients and then pick up a kitten from the vet (bye bye nuts!) Pulled up Go and oh look, Santachu. Throw one Razz, Great Ball, Great throw with a curve ball... breaks and runs. Try to catch random crap for possible dittos. Break, break, run. Break, run. Caught a few, but had just as many run.

So.. are spoofing apps for jailbroken phones only? Is there a way to play from computers at all? Negative temps incoming... not looking forward to it.

[Karbuncle]

Caught Santachu on the way home from work today. Small victories.

[Kincard]

A Dragonite spawned right on top of my apartment. Small victories! (it had ~300CP and shit IVs)

Anyway a lot of people are raging about the announcement but I think it makes sense. They're basically going for a MMO-style release model where they dripfeed the content so they can drag it out.

I think what a lot of people don't see is how the casual gamer sees this release, which let's be honest is who this game is targeted towards anyway. My mom really likes the game and when she learned there was like 8 new Pokemon and they might be adding that many every month or something, she was all "Wow that's a lot!"

[Leashedragon]

I still haven't completed my dex, but that's mostly because I live in the middle of nowhere. I don't mind the trickle additions of new pokemon, I just wish more important things were addressed, you know, like a tracking system that is worth a damn. Thankfully someone in Lincoln is running a local spawn map so I did manage 2 Snorlax, Omanyte, and a Dragonair while there last weekend. Lapras didn't spawn until I stopped looking.

[xElipsis]

I got to work today and saw a Pikachu on the Sighting list. Found it: 326 CP, Razzberried it, two Great-curveball-throw Ultra balls later it ran away.

Time to uninstall~

Damn, and here I am with a bag full of eggs from before the update. I don't think I want to walk like 50km just for a chance at new Pokemon...

[Obsidian]

But if you spend 20 bucks on incubators...

[Leashedragon]

I wish you could toss eggs like you can toss items. I also have a bag full of 5km eggs and only one incubator. I'd just need to hatch one to get a new egg, but with just one incubator it will be a while. I refuse to spend money anymore.

Loving the new tracker

[Leashedragon]

Meanwhile, 20 feet from you just outside of your spawn range, a 100% IV Lapras you have no idea is there because you're near a pokestop!

Finally got my Santachu. Took 4 ultra, curveball, razz berries to catch... >200cp. Catch rate on Pikachu in general is just moronic.

Hatched an egg, got a new one from a stop.. 2k. Well, atleast it may be a starter pokemon, right? Would love to finally get them evolved.

[bluefan]

A santachu was in the area and I was running around in my pajamas in -20C weather.....and he fucking got away.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

I need a hot bath now haha.

[Kincard]

Personally I much prefer the tracker that tells me where to go over the one that shows me a rare silhouette but makes me wander around several blocks for 25 minutes before giving up.

The old hot-and-cold tracker would've been ideal, but if we had to choose between the above two I'll choose what we have now.

[Hitou]

Aside from the newer feature that shows you what pokemon might by near the stops, the tracker is exactly the same as it has been since they broke it the first time. I still see random "find these pokemon in the wild" spawns as well as pokestop spawns. And even before the poke stop update you'd see crap spawn next to you that wasn't ever on the tracker. So yeah, if you're missing stuff it's not because of the changes.

I really played a lot of Pokemon Go when the hype started. Right now I got a bit bored of it

[Leashedragon]

Just did my own test. Made a new trainer account and downloaded a GPS app. Eventually got it working after figuring out how to enable mock locations, but it was a waste of time. PoGo won't work at all with mock location turned on it seems. It showed me where I placed the marker, but won't load stops/pokemon. Just gives the "unable to detect location" error. So rooting seems to be the only option and I just don't want to. You don't need to turn on mock location when rooted.

Well, now I know.

To do it I think there's something else you need to enable in the Developer Settings on Android. I know there's an Xposed module that will prevent apps from knowing when they're being given mock locations but you need to be rooted for that.

Edit: But to use a rooted phone there are other shenanigans you need to do because PoGo will just refuse to launch of rooted devices.
