Pokemon: GO

[Brandi]

Can anyone else confirm this?

I'm still pretty skeptical despite the images showing they got pikachu as a starter.

[Brandi]

also some interesting info on CP
some theories herein not completely confirmed but they seem to be updating

Also, got a Squirtle from a 2km egg. I haven't found any info on km/egg correlations yet.
I picked Squirtle as my starter so it's cool that I got another one for the candies but I would really like a bulbasaur.

i went to nyc with a friend and caught so many pokemon!

I think one of the things I'm most concerned with atm is how playable the gym scene will be if you're not *the strongest*. The five gyms near me that i can see on the map from my house have had a lot of turnover though, which is a good thing.

basically for every pokemon in a gym you defeat you degrade its XP and when its XP hits zero it resets to neutral
that + the fact you can bring 6 pokemon in should make gyms a fairly active turnover

[Drench]

anyway what's the good nomenclature for hitting a pokestop
i'm a fan of "pop" rn

I'm ready for someone to be seriously injured in a pokemon go accident

[Sudo_Nym]

Not quite an accident, but still a weird thing that occured during Pokemon Go.

[theelkspeaks]

I'm level 4 so far, only two pokestops within a reasonable walking distance of me but a decent number at shopping centers I'm often at so I'll have to get some stops that way. Haven't decided which team to join yet.

[Sudo_Nym]

If I evolve a pokemon, do I then need candies of the base type or the new type to power up/evolve it? I caught a lot of weedles on my walk today; if I evovle it, do I then need Kakuna candies, or can I still use Weedle candies?

[implosion]

There are no Kakuna candies - there's only candies for the basic pokemon, so you can still level it up with Weedle candies.

[Sudo_Nym]

See, I didn't know that! Is there an evolution strategy, or should I just evolve whenever?

[Equinox]

There is a gym at what looks suspiciously on this map like the animal shelter.

I don't know if I should investigate this apparent twist of irony.

[Brandi]

So several of my friends tested it and you can indeed get pikachu as your starting pokemon in Pokemon: GO

If only I had known when I started ;^;

[implosion]

Sudo, from what I've read online, my impression is you can evolve whenever. Probably the highest cp pokemon you have of a species.

I went out for an hour about an hour ago. Caught lots of stuff and saw other people playing the game for the first time which was nice. I went out bc there were two lured stops near me but by the time I got to the one I was going to, the lure ended... and there were two more slightly farther! Apparently this is a decently active area.

I'm hoping they eventually roll out trading and PvP.

[T-Bone]

Got the game, but it has been unreliable so far. Though I did catch a horsea despite there being no water features (let along the ocean) anywhere near where I live. Really weird.

[Drench]

i live near a lake and i have noticed some horseas around idk

[Drench]

an absolute FUCKTON of doduos though

[implosion]

Interesting. I have one doduo that hatched from an egg.

My area mostly has fucktons of what you would expect (rattata, pidgey, spearow, fair amount of zubat) but there are a few somewhat unexpected ones.

The biggest is by far, my area has a TON of drowzee. Like, half of the gyms are guarded by really strong hypnos. Also a fair amount of gastly.

[Quilford]

I have a lot of Dratini around and also a lot of Poliwag in addition to the usual suspects. Caught an Eevee today and a Vulpix :D

[Quilford]

Oh and my 5km egg hatched a Meowth

[Quilford]

The shit thing is that I have awful cell reception tho so I literally can't connect to the servers until I'm halfway into my walk.

[xRECKONERx]

I have a Flameon!!!!!!!!!!!

[Firebringer]

I have a Flameon!!!!!!!!!!!

Aren't you just a flamer
