Pokemon Go (Mobile July 2016)

[Zetanio]

I know I've been beating the "You guys clearly didn't play Ingress" at all drum, but... Well, you guys clearly didn't play Ingress. The first part of that game was just leveling up; Controlling nodes was almost a waste of time if you weren't max level and the real meat of the game came from setting up fields of control. Basically, you could connect portals to other portals if no other territory was occupied by the opposite team and create a field that gave extra XP, damage and bonuses. It's kind of likely to see the GO teams do the same thing.

They were also pretty serious about hosting events in real-life: While there's not a lot to do right now, it's mostly preparing for the psuedo-raid content coming in the future. It's kinda shit when nothing else is happening, but some of the Ingress stuff was really quite neat so I'm hoping to see a redux of the Battle for DC or something. Mewtwo in Times Square could be an actual thing that happens, with pokemon teams running all over NYC to control locations to lure him out.

We get it. You played Ingress with 10 other people.

Winning is fairly easy against the CPU. Spam to 1 bar. Hold and use special. Repeat. Unless you're against a counter, you should win.

I just don't want people to get sick of it being a non-game before the cooler game parts get added. For all we know I'm full of shit and they won't do any of the neat stuff.

There's an unclaimed gym on the airport runway somewhere. I want it to so bad!

[Zealot]

Dropped a lure at work and hung out for a bit. Tauros, Meowth, and Horsea showed up in addition to the ones I already had.

Ok so does the game has to be open and running with the screen on for lures/eggs? My screen times out while walking it's annoying as shit. How are you supposed to keep screen on for eggs and such.

[Jem]

Toggle it in your phone settings to not auto sleep

I have my phone setup not to auto-lock (primarily because it was annoying to have it lock when auto-battling in FFRK)

Have never played a minute of Pokemon in my life. Downloaded GO at lunch and have caught a Bulbasaur, Speerow, Exeggcute, and Eevee in like 5 minutes. Is there any point to capturing duplicates? I have no idea what I'm doing; there are so many things on my map in downtown Washington DC.

So just found out Eevee evolutions aren't random.

Flareon comes from an Eevee with Dig.
Jolteon comes from an Eevee with Body Slam.
Vaporeon comes from an Eevee with Swift.

My Jolteon came from swift

[Tyrath]

Then I was lied to. Or you remember wrong. I will test it out when I catch my next Eevee.

[Zetanio]

It's random.

Proved it with friends.

[BerenTebogo]

Fuck you guys catching enough Eevees to evolve.

[Jem]

My Jolteon definitely came from Swift too.

It's random but if anything Swift Jolteon and Body Slam Vapor eon would have made more sense

[Krandor]

Me and a coworker evolved ours at the same time. My dig went flare and his swift went to vape
