Jew Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 Apparently the beta testing is only in California from what I've heard. It looks pretty good though, so if it goes smoothly I hope they release it worldwide. Seems like it was primarily in the Bay Area (where Niantic is headquartered). Right now their focus seems to be on fighting bots/cheaters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they started permanent bans for cheaters, so hopefully the amount of them will decrease over time. You can't be the very best like no one ever was if you just GPS spoof to New York City.

jbottgen Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 KT and I finally got our Gyrados this weekend! Yay for useless Magicarps! Congrats! I am four carps off from getting a Gyrados, and by living in a desert that is not going to happen for quite awhile. I did hit 100 different types of caught Pokemon yesterday though.

Jew Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 Thanks to constant trips to the Santa Monica Pier I was able to get Gyrados and Dragonite. It's still a madhouse there every night with thousands of "trainers" going up and down the pier and beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Downtown Chicago is pretty fantastic for check-ins and rare guys floating around. Can't wait to see what's poppin' at Cedar Point! Anyone else besides me have a maxed out Arbok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterbill Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Anyone else besides me have a maxed out Arbok? Is it any good? Mine's not maxed out but it seems like it's ceiling is pretty low so I didn't bother leveling it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to have a powerful Dark type since my other dark types ended up having poison attacks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 Types aren't super important in the game right now. High HP and strong damaging attacks are the main things. Basically Snorlax is the king of the hill with Dragonite, Gyrados, Vaporeon, Exeggutor, Lapras, and Blastoise close behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixFlagsAstroworld Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 What does everyone think of this new buddy system. I think it's a good way to get candies to evolve or power up Pokemon. It's like hatching an egg, you need to travel a certain distance to get a candy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 Happy they came up with a way to earn candy for pokemon that are nearly impossible to find. Someday I'll finally get a Muk thanks to this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 When you finally catch a Dragonite and it sucks! This game hates me. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xVicesAndVirtues Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 ^You could always spend your 10 Dratini candy powering it up to 49! I'd consider myself a casual player of the game, occasionally extending a Publix visit by 30 minutes driving slowly through the parking lot in my car trying to catch something I don't have. Just living my life in another city chuck-full of dirty Rattatas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 So who's still playing? Honestly I haven't lost interest in the game at all since I like to play it when I walk with the Fitbit but it's less fun when so few people play that every gym is a level 8,9 or 10 and they never changes hands. Last night I was bored so I spent about an hour knocking down a Level 10 gym and finally taking it but it's already back to a level 8. It seems like very few people play and the people that do are ridiculously over-the-top about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After you get to level 22+, the came is just a chore. I'll come back when you're able to trade or when they release the next 150+ batch of new Pokemon from Gold and Silver. It would be cool to have "seasons" and re-set everyone to 0 at the start of a 2016 winter or 2017 spring season. You have to be insane to have the desire to earn 1M+ XP to get to a new level which gives you nothing other than a new number next to your name.

ytterbiumanalyst Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I still play, mostly because I have taken a walk around the parking lot of my office on my breaks for a few years now, and Pokemon Go just fits well with that. I've never been too much into the gyms; it's been all about walking for me. I love the buddy system they installed recently. Pikachu and I have walked a lot together!

SharkTums Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 KT and I still play. We've kind of bonded over it and we walk more because of it so I don't see a down side. From all of the crazy articles and blogs and bitching about the game out there it sounds like there is still A LOT to come and basically the game was released in barely a beta state. I think people will come back when there are big new updates and those of us who have continued to play during the downtime will hopefully have a leg up.

SteelForceless Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I still play a couple times a week. I like to go out on my bike with it since it makes hatching the eggs easier. On the topic of the gyms getting stuck at high levels, there's a few gyms locally that are like that but other than today where there were four of them, usually these are few and far between.

coneyislandchris Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I was hardcore into the game for the first few months, but have kind of fallen off the grid recently. Most of the time I spent playing was done walking around NYC early in the morning before I got into the office, but since September I've been trying to get in earlier and earlier to get more stuff done, so that kind of killed my momentum. I still am missing three or four from my Pokedex. I might pick it back up again if a new update comes out with some cool new features or the Gen 2 creatures.

jbottgen Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Just hit level 25, so I am still playing kind of. Now it is just a matter of hatching eggs, getting buddy candies and if by chance, finding one of the few I do not have yet. Kind of hard for me to do right now when it is dark before I get to work, and it is dark after I finish work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 FYI... Trick-or-Treat, Trainers! It’s Halloween season and we have a treat for you! From October 26th to November 1st, you’ll earn double the amount of Candy every time you catch, hatch and transfer Pokémon! Don’t forget your Buddy Pokémon, because they will help you earn Candy four times as fast. If you encounter more spooky Pokémon than normal, don’t be startled, they want to enjoy the fun too! Scare up some friends, grab your buddy and enjoy this spooky, fun celebration with us! Happy Halloween! The Pokémon GO team Link TL;DR= HOORAY MORE F**KING ZUBATS (But the Candy thing is awesome).

SharkTums Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 ^The candy is certainly the best part of this 'event' other than the fact that they're going to start doing 'events' in general. I havne't been able to play in a couple of weeks due to family stuff, but looking forward to getting back out and walking and playing a bunch with some better Florida weather.
