ok. i've never played pokemon before. i've installed this and gotten a few pokemon. What do I do with them? what is the point of this? what is the point of life?
so i got back home and while there are a ton of poke stops within a 2 minute walk, the three gyms around me all have 15+ level people on them. I'm level 6.
my understanding is that pokestops are ingress stops and ingress stops were based nominally on memorials and other sites. graveyards tend to have monuments and things.
Okay. So that was actually fun. I went to the park next to my apartment complex and people put down a combined 4 lures at once and although it's hard to know because people moved around so much, I stopped counting at 50.
As I pass dozens upon dozens of people walking around in small groups muttering phrases to themselves I am struck by how Mr dursley must have felt when wizards talked excitedly to each other after the first fall of Voldemort.
Ingress is arguably the deeper game right now from what I can tell but the Ui is terrible. The biggest appeal for me right now is its fad but phenomenon nature. I'd play it now or not play it.
yeah. the first few weeks are probably going to be the coolest. I just can't imagine people gathering in the numbers I saw yesterday when this has been out for 4 months.
There's a level 7 gym near me, but its pokemon are more reasonable than the ones really near me that are only level 3 or 4. In fact, there's probably something about low level gyms being harder to level if you make is so hard to add prestige.
i'm pretty sure a local bar, lucky enough to have a pokestop on it, is seeding it with a lure during their slow hours. it's been a lure for the past 2 hours.
I got a place in a level 7 gym that I have access to from my desk about 50% of the time. It was then taken by a couple of blue guys on a scooter. I went, took it back, only to have it immediately retaken by a yellow.
yeah. this game was super boring when I was in my parent's suburban house in 98 degree Dallas Texas. It's kind of fun/interesting in 70 degree silicon valley with tons of stops and people and lures around.
So I think i've linked it before, but this is the AR I'm hopeful for. I'm a little gunshy because the shooter part of the game requires actually buying something to add on, which can only serve to drastically reduce potential players. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/fath ... aser-tag#/
In post 293, implosion wrote: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.
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.
Yeah, you are welcome. Also it is accurate AF, tested it a few times sitting in my PC room, launched saw X Y Z pokemon, launched game, and boom, they were there
Nah it's fine. I'd rather have a useful tool brought up twice than not at all, but it was just curious that both had the same sort of jokey vibe going.
No, you're right. You need 48 total to do 4 pidgeys and with 44 to start, you can only get to 47 if you transfer your pidgeottos... and you definitely won't have 4 candy left over.
Yeah. Popping an egg earlier in levels is definitely the way to go as you'll double any and all pokemon additions (including the first time you do a pidgey). As you encounter more new stuff early on, you get more bonuses from that.
If Lucky Eggs provided a % of experience needed boost, then it'd be different. But as a flat boost, it's all in the early stages. Still, nothing you can do once you're already up in levels.
I also think a lack of depth. As my participation in the game grows, the depth actually gets shallower. Whereas in the first week or so I'd regularly come across a new pokemon and get excited about that, not to mention lots of OTHER people engaging in that excitement, now I basically wait to see if an egg will give me something new and collect pidgeys.... because frankly a pidgey is worth 2-4 times more to me than other pokemon who I've discovered simply because I can evolve them that much faster.
There's just not much to do that doesn't seem repetitive. And of course gyms suffer from two problems: first, their combat is repetitive. second, there's not a very good system in place for competing with people with far stronger pokemon. If you could team up or something to take down a 2500 CP Snorlax it'd be one thing. But having to win solo is a very frustrating system.
If your argument is simply that going from level 20 to 21 is going to take longer without an egg, sure. And I can see some value in mitigating the frustration by the relative slowness of advancing in later levels.
But if your argument is that using an egg later on gets you further faster, that's probably wrong. Because you GET to level 20 faster. And sure you might slog a bit more in that time period between 20 and 21, but that doesn't mean overall you're going to end up with a lower level of total XP.
I just would need to be sure it had some sort of competitive element that was way, way better than the release version and that relied on some semblance of strategy. I don't care about new pokemon.
