Pokémon Pokemon Go General Discussion

I hope my folks are both working, so I can go for a drive >> I'll do it real early in the morning too.
 
No Poke Stops in walking distance for me, unfortunately. I live on farm land. The only stops relatively close by are the local park and a pig statue... lmao. It gives me an excuse to take my kid to the park more often. Further out the stops are literally all donation bins. I didn't even know there were so many donation bins. How clever. The gyms all seem to be churches... What does this say about my area?

I don't even know what to think about this xD

The nearest Pokestops for me are both at a church. The church itself and it's sign out front are both stops. Lucky me. It'd been the first time I'd gone to church for anything in a long time <<
 
Has anyone come across with a Ponyta yet?

I have one Ponyta, caught it a day or two ago in the afternoon. Haven't seen another one since.

I seriously can't help but to think it's a trap... haha

Because of stuff like this:

Thankfully for me, I can just sit in the Church Parking Lot and use the Pokestops. I don't have to GO IN. I'll be heading over early tomorrow though, between 6-7 am. I plan on going to a community center where my friend caught a Dratini. I'll probably go to the community center first, and if it's a Pokestop I'll use my only Lure on it to help my chances. If it's not, maybe I'll use it at the church, maybe not. I'm only going out early though, because less traffic, less heat, and more time to get home before my parents do. >>
 
Am I the only one who's having trouble walking in game??? I have to go ahead and open the bottom menu tab to make it refresh and have him walk a bit? I just want my starter Charmander!!! :'(
 
Under the image of each Pok?mon on you "Nearby Pok?mon" list you will find pictures of pokemon foot steps. 3 steps means you are far away, 2 steps mean you are closer, 1 step is even closer or right in the general area, and no steps under the image mean you should be on it. Look around on the map or take a few steps here and there if it doesn't appear. You're basically playing a game of hot and cold, or a scavenger hunt. The footprints being clues. You can only initiate the catching sequence when the Pok?mon is visible on the map. Hope this helped :)

And for the issue of the same Pok?mon repeatedly showing up, some are more common than others, and this is bound to happen. It's all about luck.

OMG BONE BABY THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!! that makes so much sense, thank you!!!! :>
 
Sadly, I can only help you with the second part. Sometimes, when you go to a Pokestop, you will find eggs. there a 2, 5, and 10km eggs. 10 km are the rarest, 5 are second rarest, and 2 are most common.

thank you, that really helps!!! :>

Don't use low battery mode, that's a known glitch.

On occasion my character lags when it comes to walking, yet the server hasn't gone down NOT EVEN ONCE all day today, bless, and the Pok?mon steps still update when I move with them. However, my game froze like twice today while I tried catching some Pok?mon. Surprisingly, when I caught a Krabby and my game froze, I waited for it to unfreeze and it never did but when I rebooted the game I still had Krabby. Note that the game froze before the ball even began to do it's little 3 shakes. I just left it frozen as it was for like 30 seconds and I had caught Krabby.

I'm just really glad it was clear enough lol, anything for a fellow trainer in need <3
 
I just turned level 7 and I can't tell you how many buses I've almost walked into and trains I've missed because of this new beauty.

Apparently I am going to the zoo tomorrow too xD Not actually in it though, most likely just the parking lot, cuz it's a Pokestop e_e
 
I FINALLY found the dang eevee after 15 mins of searching, threw my ball at it, it went in AND IT FROZE!!!!!!!!!! I'm so upset that I lost it!!!!!!! I don't want to go back to where it was because it was an alley for people's garages and I don't want them to be like wtf is this girl doing back here lol ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That really sucks, I would've stuck around a little longer just to see if it was still there or if it was caught anyways. After the krabby incident for me. I can't believe it was registered into my game after it froze. That was lucky, and I hope this can be used for other future incidences. Plus, NORMALLY if you reboot the game, which only takes a minute or so, the Pok?mon will still be there. It's only every other occasion when a pokemon disappears on me after a reboot. :eek: Hope you catch an eevee soon though <3

XD this time I tried to reboot and then it was stuck on the camera for a while booooo
 
You know you live in the middle of nowhere when even the common pokemon are hard to find :rolleyes:

Yeah, the game's still a bit buggy, but the server issue has improved greatly. I also understand the struggle of searching or catching in populated areas. The other night I was catching something at the bottom of someone's drive way, and a car was coming and I thought it was someone from the house I was in front of, so I hightailed it down their driveway and the car turned out to be the people next door, but I know they saw me running all suspicious-like >>
 
i almost got a evee today but i didnt see it on the map thing... all i saw was rustling leaves

I'm not really sure what the rustling leaves are for. Some people say it's for looks, some say there's a Pok?mon there. I don't really know for myself :s
