Pokemon Go

[Alzar]

Pokemon Go is the new Pokemon game on smartphones, this thread is a dedicated thread so the main Pokemon thread can still be about Pokemon games. Some helpful links:

Trailer for people who have no idea what's going down
Is the server down?

If I had to guess it would be because they have to translate it into more languages for that release. Could be wrong though.

Snake. I wanted this thread lmao

Anyway, I'm working on converting all the gyms in my area to blue. Crips for life. With my 197 Beedrill anything is possible!

sorry i must have missed you saying it because there were so many pages of pokemon go stuff ;-;

Anyway, I'm working on getting my new account up to level 5 so I can join yellow. I kind of regret restarting a little ;-;

[Technetium]

Um, I have no idea what is going on with this game. All I know is catch mons, battle at gyms, get items at stops.

[Alzar]

That's pretty much it!

there will probably be more content and plot stuff in the future as the game gets updated

[Technetium]

I picked the Charmander starter, because that's what I went with back when I played FireRed.

I have the huge issue of my schedule and location, I can't reach many gyms or stops, and at my house I don't see very many Pokemon, nor is there a nearby location.
Also, lack of data = RIP.

I messed up and my starter was Bulbasaur because I accidentally tapped him qq

[Technetium]

I may or may not have caught a Doduo, the server went out right as I hit it with the Pokeball, I think.

RED TEAM FTW *cough cough*
Annny way my 156 cp eevee

For my small town, Im in walking distance to 3 Pokestops & one gym. Today I was walking to the stops, & I saw at least 6 people going to the stops and getting pokemon.
I think I might join Yellow, but idk for sure. The local gym has been Red & Yellow, but never blue, so Im for sure not going to join blue.

[Technetium]

I found out that the program is very data efficent, using only 2.6 MB of data over a 20 minute walk with an attempted catch and a Pokestop visit.

Also, the three closest PokeStops to me are all at churches.

Yea same thing, my cooking school is a pokestop and The entire time before the class 7 of us were just grinding pokemon since someone used a lure moduale and I saw some people outside playing as well

The app is amazing on the data, since it only uses it when it's fetching information from the servers. What isn't amazing is the constant server outages and the fact that Europe now has Pokemon Go delayed indefinitely for them. :(

WHAT?

Did they say why?

[Technetium]

Did this thread get put in the Lounge by mistake? I wanted a serious answer, or at least to know if there was an explanation given.

[Arckas]

Got the app this morning and started traveling. Turns out the location I'm staying at is a landmark and a jogging trails not to far has several landmarks along the route, so looks like I've got another motive to run 10k's in the morning and/or in the evening.

Best part about all this is I found out my sister seems to be a fan of the app.

My friend and I had lot's of fun driving around and catching stuff. One day I'll get a Jolteon.
I did take one gym in my area though. Neat.

Given that the server's been going down once every few hours for Google and the Pokemon servers have been down for 30+ hours, just in the current areas, it's a little understandable.

[Technetium]

Oh. So that's why. I was thinking it would have been more like some matter of Nintendo deciding they're not sure if they're going to release it there, rather than it being a technical problem.

Also in the news- Some police have warned people to be careful when using the app and to watch what they are doing. Apparently people have been going into restricted areas like the police stations themselves in order to catch pokemon.


My friends' friend found a pokemon at a strip club. Unfortunately they couldn't catch it cause it would look like he was recording.

Best part: It was a pikachuu
