This is a battery hog of the highest caliber, but I'll forgive it because Pokémon. Taking the kids on a hunt for the little buggers today, they're excited!

I live in the middle of nowhere and I'm trying to figure out where I should try biking to figure out where the local gyms would be. Would it be something official, like a post office or a courthouse, or should I bust out the big guns and try Walmart? In Ingress, courthouses and post offices, no matter how small, counted as landmarks. Also, interesting things; for example a moderately fancy italian restaurant near me has a big ornate fountain outside; that counts as a gym of all things apparently SynthOrange posted:gently caress. I just got done biking to work today, it counts it...sometimes. If you're climbing a hill or otherwise slowing down it starts to count it, but if you're going down a hill (or really, even pushing fast on flat road) it does not. Seems like walking is the thing to do!

Turns out I have a pokestop right in front of my house. This game is way more fun than it ought to be. e: How do you close the drat game? Back button doesn't do anything. Or is that just my phone?

I read somewhere it won't read you if you are going over 10 MPH. I have not verified that though.

A lot of the locations tend to be unique things: signs, artwork, graffiti, plaques, fountains. Rural is always going to be tough because most of the data in this is crowd sourced as part of Ingress and thus people = places.

I went on a walk for an hour yesterday, hit like six different pokestops, but didn't find a single wild pokemon. Is this normal?

Fuckkkkk. I went Team Yellow. Captured some six-ish gyms walking around the local college campus yesterday. Woke up today to find a team of four Blues had grabbed them all and leveled them up. I'm never going to see another team yellow member in town, am I? fadam posted:I went on a walk for an hour yesterday, hit like six different pokestops, but didn't find a single wild pokemon. Is this normal? They don't have to be near pokestops. Check the tracking, see if you're just walking in areas without them. Bobulus fucked around with this message at 13:35 on Jul 7, 2016 |

The locals here are bad at games so they're out trying to win gyms with 35CP Pokemon. It's really weird.

I went for a ride this arvo and my eggs only ticked over when I stopped/started. The distance travelled roughly equaled the times I was going slower than 15km. On the bright side when I ended up flatting a couple of km from home i wasn't as salty about having to walk the rest of the way.

Since there's no ingame notification when your gym is knocked over, I think what I'm going to do is name the pokemon with the name of the gym I deploy it at, then check the potion screen to see which of my Pokes are not at full health (because when they get knocked out of a gym, they return to you with 1hp).

So the Pidgey that are everywhere eventually make a badass Pidgeot that's easy to level. Definitely do that.

So you can only get coins with real money or can you get them in game somewhere? I wish I could've just loving paid like 10 bucks or some poo poo for this just to have a game with no restrictions. Mobile gaming

This is a bit upsetting, I work on Ft. Stewart (Army Base) and there is a gym right down the road from where I work that has a drat Nidoking (Red team) in it (I am only level 4, almost 5) how the hell did they get one so quick? The sad thing is I have not found a single wild pokemon since getting on base this morning. I might go for my normal walk a bit earlier and stop by the gym/pokemarts in the area and see if I can find something.

m.hache posted:So is there any reason to keep my game idle on my desk while at work? Will Pokemon eventually wander into my range? Yeah, I've gotten all eight of my Pokemon while sitting at my desk. I considered going out at 3am to find the Ghastly but decided against it. I'm gonna ride my bike around town and write down the locations of all the gyms. I guess one of the upsides of living in a rural area is that nowhere in town is more than a fifteen minutes away, hopefully I'll run into enough Pidgeys to hit level five, evolve them, and snag myself a gym.

My goon rear end is never going to be able to hatch this 10km egg. In other news, I spent an hour and a half this morning wondering around campus until he Virginia heat forces me inside. I'll probably do it again this evening.

Salem, MA is full of Pokestops and Psychic Pokemon which makes me super happy. I caught like 10 Drowzee with the help of an incense before bed last night and went around the block this morning and hit up seven Pokestops. Unfortunately I'm moving to suburban Connecticut next month

Do they run away after awhile or can you just leave your phone on and come back to catch 50 pokes all crowded around?

When do you get to pick a starter? It just kinda turned me loose into the map view, and I wandered around the office and found a Bulbasaur hanging out. I caught it and the professor finally asked me to pick a user name, so I'm not sure that I'm even out of the tutorial. Could be explained better, by the way. I didn't know how to catch anything until I read the thread -- clicking on Bulbasaur brought the Pokeball up to his head but didn't do anything, and I flicked the Pokeball once or twice but missed, and then I got worried that my F2P supply of Pokeballs was limited and I didn't know if I was doing it right or just wasting Pokeballs.
