OK, gen 2 dragged me back in. Unfortunately I've moved somewhere waaaay worse to play Pokemon Go in.

Question for anyone who lives in mid-sized SE Asian cities with 0 sidewalks/traffic laws: How do you play pogo without getting run over? You have to be pretty careful b/c of traffic when walking around here and basically no one is going to walk w/ a phone out :(

FYI:

Apart from the name trick, it looks like 10k+ walked eevee revolved in day = espeon, evolved at night = umbreon. Gonna test this some more.

Sad that espeon > umbreon, I like umbreon way better.

The sheer quantity of trash Pokémon is still a bummer :(

E: also the # of pogo players here is small enough there aren't that many lures, no nests are mapped, and submission based trackers don't work. I guess I'll just explore, but definitely makes me appreciate release in a big city.

So just visited a gym and they rebalanced everything again? Hard to be into grinding back up again when all my high IV good move set Pokémon will apparently just be dumpstered again soon :/ seems like a lovely way to try and even things out.

I guess I'll just get Pokémon and ignore gyms.

But the Pinap Berries and evolved catch candy bonuses might actually offset that. I'm throwing Pinap Berries at all the low level Pidgeys I can find, reserving a handful for rare and desirable spawns.

I just realized this release was a stealth nerf to mass evolving. None of the new gen pokemon are 12 candy evolutions like Pidgey/Weedle/Caterpie

What level are you guys?

Since hitting 30+ it seems a bit pointless to powerlevel, given that wild spawns cap at 30, level requirements ramp up a ton, and it's prohibitively expensive in stardust to power up many pokemon to lvl 40 anyways.

e: Also, I wish there was some way to sort by evo line. It's sort of annoying to not be able to see all my eveelutions in one place :/

Sort by # will put them all next to one another.

Except gen 1 is #'s 1-151 and Umbreon/Espeon are above that, so at least for me it shows them as a lot farther down the list, after eg Dragonite. Is this not how it shows up for others? Maybe I'm missing smth still

I don't see what's wrong w this esp with all the caveats? Tbh I'd rather pokemon genders were distinguished in a ton of cool + interesting ways like actual animals, not just by dressing them up like a human 3 yo of that gender.

What I really want is a pokemon which is super dimorphic like an anglerfish: http://www.livescience.com/49330-animal-sex-anglerfish.html

Which makes Unfezant a cool bird.


This is great. Also naming Pokémon for different languages must be insanely hard. You need like a dozen weird puns in different languages

e: Also i somehow missed this, but in the games ditto is basically a shapeshifting sex god?

NW Illinois, more or less everything on your list but haven't seen Quagmire/sire, Sneasel, or Houndour. I've been to the Museum Campus in Chicago and ... nothing really exciting there. Same poo poo. Caught a few Aipoms, Hoppips, and Yanma while downtown.

Caught 1 and saw a few more Skarmory nearer home. Oh, and a Dunsparce. And hatched a Slugma.

You should go to Adler Planetarium > Museum Campus if you're just looking for good pokemon. It's a much better spawn. Navy PIer and Lincoln park/the zoo are the other two places I would go if you want little poke men.

I got a metal coat on my 7 day spree. My girlfriend already has 3 evolve items :(

By the way, is the trick to log in to 2 devices to evolve still working? I got 100 pokemon ready to evolve, and I know 1 lucky egg won't be enough for 1 device.

You'll get pretty close to that if you have an iPhone 6~ or equivalent and force close restart the app.

Nah, I'm following a Norwegian Pokémon GO-thread, and at least two guys there have posted screenshots of their Larvitars caught in Norway, so there's hope for us, at least.

Whenever you get down re: NA exclusives just think about your health insurance.

Speaking of which, are there any "roll your own" scanning apps these days?

Are there any online scanning apps that aren't limited to a specific city?

There's an iPhone app for scanning that works well.
