Is it wrong that I sort of want to try the Pokemon GO Frappuchino? I won't, because I don't like frappuchinos, but I have a morbid curiosity. Maybe I can convince a friend to buy one and then steal some...
There's no coffee in it right
It's just a fruit taste added version of vanilla bean iced/blended milk
Yes I understand that but the simple fact that I can walk up to a counter and ask for a Pokemon GO Frappuchino strikes me as utterly absurd and I think it's great.
Finally caught a decent growlithe (14/14/15). Evolve to Arcanine, and Firefang/Fireblast! Nearly died. Gyms around me are dominated by Lapras, finally have my counter.
psssst
Magneton is the one true Lapras counter counter in the game right now
resists all Lapras's possible attacks, all its attacks on Lapras are super effective, and it hits hard post patch
Still, that's a super sick Arcanine. Going to be really clutch for dealing with the steel types that are about to flood the meta, especially Scizor and Foretress
Yeah, after catching nearly 100 trash pokemon I finally got two dittos in a row.
Maybe the spawn increased?
Also, my downtown area has gone from spitting out a really rare pokemon once in a blue moon to spitting them out fairly regularly. I got a Hitmonchan yesterday, and there have been reports of people finding multiple Aerodactyls.
Anyone else noticing a lot of invisible poles spawning? It buzzes like a spawn but nothing appears to click on, I assume it's some new way to punish me.

People mentioned it in the TheSilphRoad subreddit. I haven't seen it yet... However I did have an "invisible" pokemon on my radar yesterday. It was just a pidgey but something strange is going on.

My Starbucks was a gym spot before the update. It is now a double gym with the towers partially over lapping. The mystic employees inside must be thrilled.

It was driving me crazy yesterday. If nothing appears while I am playing and nothing shows up, I immediately check for a text message or an email.

I heard someone mention the pokemon models are stored server side now or something, so basically the server is seeing the pokemon is there before it can load up the model. Why they would change this, I don't know. Seems moronic

Theory is so they can pull up shiny Pokemon models without having to double-up on the sprites.
But yeah, I've noticed some lag in my pokedex before the images show up now.

why don't like
Niantic is aware of the buzzing and is working on a fix. They posted it to Facebook.

Hmm... They didn't quite fix the nearby thing... If anything, they may have made it worse... (spoiler for large phone image)
Of special note, I'm at a restaurant that has a pokestop inside it. Said pokestop is not featured on there, despite there being pokemon currently spawned around me....
Well yes, that's the point of the nearby system. You don't need it to tell you about the ones immediately near you, what with you being able to just see them on the map and all.

But those are the only ones I care about. I don't care about pokemon five blocks away that aren't even good.
Now I'm back home and it's back to not showing the ones close by, which also came up invisible thanks to the bug, so there's that. Really it's just a dumb tracking system
I had the same bug last week. Lost both my counts on day 6. Haven't logged in again until today. Figured I'd re-start my timer on a Sunday so that it's easy to keep track of.
Spun my first Pokestop of the day. Naturally, it bugs out on me and gives me credit for my 1 day streak, but it doesn't give me any items. (My bags are not full.) I've had this bug several times now where I get the counter progress but not the items.
I think the Nearby system would be massively improved if they collapsed Pokemon of the same species into each other. Like, yeah there are 3 Pidgey nearby, but THIS one is the closest so its the only one we are going to show. If you catch it, it'll be replaced by Pidgey #2, but seriously nobody gives a crap.
They had this figured out with the previous tracking system, don't know why they went back on it. I guess they can't make things too reasonable for us.
Professor Willow has discovered Togepi and Pichu hatching from Eggs! Starting later today, Trainers will have the opportunity to hatch these and several other Pokémon that were originally discovered in the Johto Region in Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver video games. These are the first of more Pokémon coming to Pokémon GO over the next few months. Be sure to use the hashtag #PokemonGO on Twitter to share your experiences as you explore your local neighborhoods with family and friends, walk to hatch these Pokémon from Eggs, and register them to your collection this holiday season. We can’t wait to see what Pokémon you’ve hatched!
So....the new pokemon today is apparently Togepi and the babys will hatch from eggs now. Consider me super unimpressed.
This is such a weak approach. The game needs a big shake up to inject some life into it. This isn't nearly enough.

I read there's apparently some kind of Christmas Pikachu that should be spawning frequently from now until Dec 29th (guess this is Pikachu in a Santa hat? I dunno)
I will say, this change did get me to finally blow my saved up poke coins on two incubators. I doubt existing eggs can hatch the new gen 2 pokemon, but I do need to clear space at least.
Trainers,
We also have another special treat for you. Starting later today through December 29, 2016, 10:00 A.M. PST, you’ll find limited edition Pikachu all over the world. These Pikachu will be wearing a festive hat to celebrate the season! Use the Pokémon GO AR camera when you encounter them in the wild to take their picture and share it with us using #HolidayPikachu.
—The Pokémon GO team
I'll have to hit up the Pikachu nest near me to check it out.

Edit: Seems like it only shows both if your sightings is 3 or less. Sucks but better then nothing I guess.

I think I'm about finished with this game
I thought it only went to 6? Same with the poke stop streak.

Oh man. That sounds awesome... As long as he keeps the hat on.

Edit: Guys, guys!
Been playing since launch and the number of Pikachu's I have seen can be counted on 3 fingers.
I'll have to hit up the Pikachu nest near me to check it out.
