I don't play pokemon. Never have. It came out when I was 13 and I had other things on my mind then. I have many friends that can't stop talking about it. And co-workers that can't stop talking about it. An email just went out at my work place urging people to stop coming to the giant fountain at the front of my work place during work hours for pokemon go related stuff. Apparently its a pokestop or something. This game and the fad it has garnered is ridiculousWhen I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga
Now I test lottery and gambling software as my job. It's funny how my life has turned out. Somewhere a Time Traveler is laughing madly- Jahudo

I just had a Bulbasaur spawn in my house, but I think the servers are overloaded (it jammed on the in-ball screen and the pokeball in the corner is still spinning), but I don't want to quit the app because I know he's despawned if it's not loaded the option options, but I don't think it's going to grant me that.Holder of the Longest Continuous Weekly Mafiascum Post Record. 1 July 2012 - 16 Feb 2023

If you get the ball-glitch, you may still have caught it. The game will have already decided whether he broke free or you caught it, but it got stuck trying to load the relevant animation. If you end up having to restart the game, the bulbasaur will be in your inventory and your journal if you caught it. It's happened to me a lot.- Cheery Dog

Usually it finishes spinning the pokeball before that.
I gave up on having it confirmed something happened after 40 minutes of waiting, as the next Pokémon was going to be appearing. I haven't got back into the game since I did that though, do there's still hope.Holder of the Longest Continuous Weekly Mafiascum Post Record. 1 July 2012 - 16 Feb 2023

But I think it's going to have gone the same way as the Radicate I had under the same circumstances a week ago where I left the game open overnight waiting, the only trace of it was a greyed outline in the pokedexHolder of the Longest Continuous Weekly Mafiascum Post Record. 1 July 2012 - 16 Feb 2023

Didn't get the bulba
Only trace is the outline to say I've encountered one in the pokedex, but there was nothing I could do about getting kicked from the server (as I never got back on last night, I think that has to the only possible scenario as for why it was taking so long to spin out)
I'll catch one again eventually and even out my caught/seen listedHolder of the Longest Continuous Weekly Mafiascum Post Record. 1 July 2012 - 16 Feb 2023

Just learned its not a pokestop out front of my workplace, its a gym so people are battling for control of the gym and the people in the executive office can see them from their main windows. lolJahudo wrote:The fountain would have been registered by someone playing Ingress a while back.

Today I found out why I never got anything from lures and incense. I was pretty sure there was something wrong since CES would always see stuff there and I couldn't.
Looking forward to finding a lure now that it might have actual pokemon- Fenchurch

This game was finally released in Canada, but it's basically unplayable for me.
I have the glitch that only lists Pokémon that are three paw prints away, so it's impossible to actively hunt one. Instead of the joy of discovering side streets and new locations while searching for a rare Pokémon (which seems like the major appeal of the game), I can only walk down the street and wait for a Zubat to jump in my face.
And the only times I've tried to access a Pokestop, the game froze on me. Never mind how often the servers are down.
I can certainly understand why it's so addictive, though, given how much effort I've put into trying to play it despite its unplayability.- Fenchurch

I think everyone has that at the moment. It's not a glitch with you, it's the server. The pokestops freezing is probably also the server; mine have been iffy all day. It'll probably get better in a day or two, especially if the Canada launch was today.In post 290, Mina wrote:I have the glitch that only lists Pokemon that are three paw prints away, so it's impossible to actively hunt Pokémon.

So moved from Boston area to Mountain View today. Lots of interesting discoveries in the land of pokemon go. Specifically that the pokemon here are totally different, with the exceptions of things like rattata/spearow/pidgey/zubat etc. I haven't seen a drowzee yet, for one, and I've seen many pokemon (either on radar or in encounters) that I hadn't seen at all in Boston (sandshrew, ekans, pikachu, ponyta to name a few). There are some pokemon I've seen a lot of that were in Boston but just uncommon there (the most notable example is paras).
I was at a lured stop at LAX long enough to get three spawns there as well: a rattata, a pidgey, and an ekans, the last of which surprised me. The only reason I already had ekans and sandshrew was because I hatched both of them from eggs.- GreyICE

Oh my goodness are there a lot of ekans. I thought they were meant to be nearly as common as rattatas and pidgeys. But from area to area it varies a lot too. I've only gotten a handful of eevee's from where I am, well short of an evolution, but my wife has collected enough to evolve a number of them mostly from work.In post 293, implosion wrote:So moved from Boston area to Mountain View today.

I think most Pokemon have evolution states, but there are several that don't. Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee both are one-stage (although they got a pre-evo later), Tauros is one-stage as well. All the legendaries, also.One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.- InflatablePie

It's rumored that Pokemon Go is releasing in Japan tomorrow. Just a heads up to anyone who was planning any long walks tomorrow, since the servers will probably crash again if it does release.If you don't know how to lie, then how do you know when you're being lied to?
