re: Official Pokemon GO Megathread

Really hope the tracker is fixed when I open the game tomorrow. Not sure how much more pure aimless wandering I can do. I don't want to resort to Ingress either.

Yeah, the eeveelutions are so broken. I can't believe they got through the beta testing.

No way in hell should a 25 candy thing be stronger than a 400 candy gyrados...ever.

I keep hearing Walmart is a hotspot but everytime I've been I get less than at the house. Maybe the middle of the night isn't as active bc nobody is really there.

They should do levels like the regular game. The way they do it everyone has strong pigeots

kind of getting tired of the game. the combat/gym system is not very fun. Walking around aimlessly for poke getting kind of boring when most of them are rats and birds. The marco polo function is broke AF. Hope fixes/updates gives this game some longevity.

I agree I think a vast majority of casual players are going to get burnt out, though I do see some new users still popping up on my Facebook; including people who have never played Pokemon before.

I don't think they thought this thing all the way through so once they get the servers patched up.. They allow for trading and battling with friends.. I think they're missing the boat on a huge element to the original games.. That's kinda been mentioned here before I think. I mean I take a fair amount of trips so I can look around and shite for different ones so that's cool but your average player is gonna catch the ones around them and get bored; and this game has attracted tons of people who definitely wouldn't consider themselves gamers or anything that have been having fun playing it.. So even doing gym battles kind of sucks for them because more active "gamers" are taking over places with 1000-2000 cp Pokemon so they can't even really go battle, but if they could with their friends even if just for bragging rights or maybe the loser has to give up a Pokemon like racing for pink slips or something (sorry my only knowledge of that is fast and the furious so if that's now how it goes don't blame my car world ignorance).. But have something at stake even if it's not just getting experience because then basically people could just do countless battles and cheat the system but idk.. There's something that can be done there to make it way more social and engaging.


Or even like have different "premier gyms" or something and like it be really rare that people could legit go all across America and / or the world (depending on how they wanted to scale it) and you could get gym badges and shite which would be like cooler in game achievements then the kind they currently give you..

Incense are really made to use out and about, not in an apartment/house

You can use it anywhere. Doesn't matter where you use it. Doing it in a high spawn area will not effect the essence, sitting at your house will not change anything either. Essence spawns draw from a completely different pool. You usually get 4-9 spawns from one with the possibility of 1 rare spawn.

and just go to 1HP and never actually faint, what's the point of having Revives?

---

Revives work when you faint at an opponent gym. Only opponents can "kill" your Pokemon making a revive necessary. Friendly gyms leave 1hp.

If I train, I take my Pokemon with 1 hp to an opponent gym and lose so they all can use a revive.
