    A Ponyta appeared while I was using incense at my desk at work!

    Then the game froze when it went in the ball. Didn't register the catch :(

    I tried taking my dog for a walk while I did this game.

    Yeah, this is impossible until I get some relief. I am in so much pain.

    hatching gives you like 10-15 I think (but could be 7-12, I might be out to lunch)

    maybe lures futz with that! That would be cool

    Then you must have got a second magikarp

    You only get three candies from a catch, plus one from transferring

    Did you know pokemon go has access to your entire life and has mined literally all your data and is being used by criminals to hunt you down and rob/murder you?

    Ty two seperate d.c. area radio stations.

    Only reason I'm even slumming it listen to this ignorant shit is because I don't want to run app over my battery saver'd pokemon go.

    I ran out of pokeballs today. There are 2 stops between my house and my job. None I can get to at work even if I had the time. And 2 near my house. One only 2 miles away and the other 5. Being in a big city seems so much more attractive now.

    There is a theater across the street from my office that has a pokestop, and it has an adjoining bus stop and coffee shop which means that it pretty much 24/7 has lures on it, so I can just leave my phone idling and collect all the pokeymans all the live long day.

    Ok, how do you get a 'great throw'? I got one before and I can't figure out how to do it again.

    And what's the deal with the circle? Should I try to aim for it to be small or big or what?

    This game should have had a tutorial to start out...

    Dude the U District is fucking nuts with this shit.

    Yesterday there were three pokestops right next to each other surrounding the bus stop on the Ave that had lures on them at the same time.

    I'm actually really loving the reciprocity aspect of Lures. One person drops a lure, and people congregate. When that one decays someone else drops a lure, people congregate, and so on, and so on.

    It reminded me of something Extra Credits mentioned from a Korean MMO. People would pay real money to buy these 'party bomb' things that would explode with money and items for everyone but the person who dropped it. You'd think that was a bum deal but then other people would see the person getting praise and go buy one themselves, drop it, and pretty soon you had a massive congregation of people all buying and dropping these bombs to keep the party going.

    fuck zubats though for real

    I can't seem to hit those little flying rats for shit

    My first pokemon after picking my starter was a zubat

    I threw 45 of my starting 50 pokeballs at it before handing my phone to a friend

    I was like, is this broken? Is there something else I need to be doing?

    Zubats are right fuckers

    The smaller the inner circle, the better. Confirmed by Niantic.

    Great throw, as far as I can tell, is indicated by your aim. The closer to the center you get the point of impact, the better.

    You can also wind up the ball by spinning it with your finger before throwing, that will cause it to fly in an arc. A successful catch like this nets you an additional 10 xp, but I don't know if it makes your catch attempt more successful.

    When the ball lands inside the green circle, you get a throw bonus. You get a Nice Throw (10xp) if it's max size, a Great Throw (50xp) if it's about half size, and I imagine if you manage to bullseye the pokemon with the circle at its smallest you get a Perfect Throw that'll be worth like a billion xp.

    The smaller the circle the more xp you'll get and the better the odds of catching but you don't get jack if it doesn't land inside the green circle.

    You can also get a Curveball bonus for 10xp for spinning the ball around before / as you throw it, which will cause it to curve and increases your odds of catching, but the detection on this just plain doesn't work right.

    Can confirm - I work at the UW but had been off for the past several days. Walking up the Ave today on my lunch break was fucking bonkers. At least two pokestops every block and lures popping up constantly. I just know I'm going to find myself staying for a few hours after work some day to wander the campus.
