This Reddit post gives you an idea of what CP your starting poke needs to be at if you want a 1000 CP+ final evolution

PokeVision
An online version of the maps that are circulating that will show you what Pokemon are around you in Go. I personally think the desktop clients all work better, but people really like Pokevision, so here we are.

With the exciting launch of Pokémon GO, there’s an overwhelming demand for new Pokémon Trainer Club accounts. Our team is hard at work improving the sign-up process. Until the work is complete, for a brief time, we’ll be limiting the number of new accounts that can be created simultaneously. If you’re unable to create an account at this time, please try again in an hour.

I just want to catch them all

miscellaneousinsanity

i started playing this last night!

it's a little crazy living in a college city

everyone with their phone out is playing this game

every. one.

miscellaneousinsanity

also there are regularly 50-100 people milling about the park near the freshman dorms every night

Daypigeon

alright this was something from the last thread but i gotta say it

i understand if you don't like some of the baby pokemon, that's fine. everyone has different taste

but munchlax is a precious, wonderful child and don't you dare insult him or suggest the world would be better without him

I just hatched a 10K egg!



.... into an Eevee.

But cause of the candies that drop from the egg also, it is now a Jolteon and all these blue water pokes are looking to get wrecked.

OmnipotentBagel

Oh man, I'm so glad I moved away from my college town before this thing came out.

So after work I walked around. First to the nearest gym, which was blue again by the time I got there. I boosted it a bit but noticed there must have been reds or yellows in the stalling cars nearby because the prestige kept dropping. I then proceeded up the street, visited like ten pokestops, then went to a red gym that was level 7. Spent some time chipping away at prestige, but there was way more to go before I left.

The key in this area is going to be the slightly out of the way gyms, instead of the one on the main street.

And then I got home, and a dratini was waiting for me in my kitchen.

Fuck yeeeeah

OmnipotentBagel

So the translation of Pika-too's ability was updated from "Disguise" to "False Colours" which makes it less likely that it can take other forms, as was my initial hope. Still really cool concept and everyone's nicknames and preliminary artwork has already endeared him to me very much.

SilverWind

Also, since this is such a psychic heavy area, I'm looking for suggestions on pokemon with dark or ghost attacks that would either resist or be neutral to psychic hits. My best so far is a hypno with shadow ball as a secondary attack. Stupid dark types don't exist yet... And almost everything is half poison

Type advantages really matter in battle.

Deadfall

So I don't have time to catch and level up a ton of pokemon in my area, but I do my best.

Got a Fearow up to like 450, and a couple of 300ish Venomoths. Blue has just been sweeping through my area (RED FOREVER).

I got this, I told myself. I'll wait until the kids on skateboards that roll through the park are asleep. I set out to conquer. Every blue gym is guarded by a minimum 800.

I slink away back home.

Are you kidding? I can only imagine how awesome it must be to be in college right now.

This is my first Pokemon videogame, and I've been totally hooked since Thursday night! 47 different kinds captured so far, and I love that there's a gym I can reach from my back patio. I've been to a bunch of gatherings already, and I constantly pull over when I'm on my way to/from places (grabbed a Dratini and Magmar yesterday!)

Team Instinct!

don't update the iOS app if you use a trainer login because you won't be able to log in! And you will be sad.

bug beats psychic, and since they're using post gen 1 moves that should work as a real advantage instead of just being totally hypothetical

i'd send you one of the paras that infested the grocery store i went to earlier, but, y'know

BugBoy

So they're releasing an Amazon Exclusive double pack of Sun/Moon in a steel book case. I was considering getting it, but it's ten dollars or so more than just buying the two separately. Kinda dissapointing.

Bug don't resist psychic though.

You can get a magneton though. Steel resists errything.

Aha! Thanks Day, and Munkus. Both are good suggestions. We get some paras here and I have one magnemite... I'll have to focus on finding more of both!

is magnemite/ton literally the only non-psychic that resists psychic in the gen 1 field

oh lord that is...they should probably work on introducing a few counters to that, otherwise these gyms are gonna look real samey real fast

Lasbrook

So with this big update they also fixed all the missing locations in the Austin area and now there is stuff near me! All the stuff!

There are a billion more gyms near me and if I lived in a different building of my apartment I would totally have a pokestop I can check from home.

Aphostile

There is nothing around me but pidgeys and ratatas.

THAT'S ALL THERE IS.

Munkus Beaver

I finally downloaded the game because what the hell.

And someone has taken the name MunkusBeaver.

Like, what the hell?

Lasbrook

Catch all them pidgeys, evolve then transfer them (with a lucky egg if you've hit lvl 9 or 10 to get them) and level thine self up. Good Pokemon will come.

BugBoy

It took me 5 or 6 tries to get a name through. I mean, BugBoy is almost always taken before I get there (accept no substitutes, though!), but I tried a bunch of names I thought nobody but me would think of and they were all gone.

if you've got a pokemon trainer account that name is reserved for you already, and you can log in through that

If the gym just has the one 800 poke you could probably take it

You can bring 6 pokes to a fight against an enemy gym

You might lose a couple, but if you have potions that's no issue

Docshifty

I managed to get a signal at the park today so I captured one of the two gyms there. Meandered around for about half an hour and then headed home as it started to rain. Look down as I leave and saw someone had taken the gym back from me. So angry. I might be the only Mystic in this town.


Also, I saw so many cars, multiple times. Because there is a pokestop at the park as well.

The apartment complex less than half a mile down the street from me has like 4 stops AND a gym.

I'm level 12! Gonna hoard all them dumb birds and rats and do that though.

akajaybay

This office building is infested with Zubats.

And the train station had Rattatas crawling out of all kinds of places.
