Pokémon Go |OT| As in "Go Outside"
- Thread starter spyroflame0487
- Start date
The front page of the digital edition of the Boston Globe currently has not one but two Pokemon GO stories displayed at the top.
Crazy.
I think they'd better have an update coming sooner rather than later, though, if they don't want this thing to fizzle out as quickly as it grew.

So we have WBC posting images of pokemon holding hate signs thanks to Pokémon GO on twitter, kids finding dead bodies thanks to Pokémon Go and random discounts for stuff at stores based on Pokémon GO.
2016 is fucking weird man. Heard NPR going on about Pokémon Go this morning, it was on the Spanish news when I went to visit my parents, it's everywhere.
Even in weird erotic parody fiction.

Good it's not just me, then. Suddenly the game just tanked about a half hour ago.
I'm surprised we haven't seen even a minor path already. They should be just absolutely throwing money at this. Keep the momentum going until everyone that possibly can be is invested.
Mismanagement, stagnation and frustration have the potential to kill this so quickly.

You also get one when you reach certain levels. I think 5 and 10 both got me an extra incubator.
Fuckin genious
I love the eggs and I love biking but I also love catching Pokémon so it's a trade off. Either bike for eggs or walks for Pokémon.

With the success this game I wonder if we'll see a set of augmented reality glasses released sometime in the future as an accessory.
I do all 3 together actually, eggs/poke stops/catching is quite doable on a bike (with a phone mount ofc)

10KM egg.....this better be good lol
Mh, I do have a bike pouch for my phone. And I live in a more rural area so maybe I should give it a try then.
Someone explain to me how special moves work.
http://www.serebii.net/pokemongo/moves.shtml
The more powerful moves (60+) seem to have a single bar of energy requirements, and the weaker moves have multiple bars of energy requirements. How do I interpret this? Does Aerial Ace take 4 full bars for instance? Or it can be used four times with a full meter?

I keep thinking it would be fun to organize a GOwalk event here in South Florida but I dont really have any experience doing something like that. I've organized parties but I think this could potentially but a lot bigger then just 20-30 people. Also have to figure out where to do it and a good route to take.

So i thought it was funny they only showed the shadow of the team characters (the articunos, zapdos and moltres ones).
Is there already art of them on the internet? Like people trying to draw a character that fits that shadow?
They seem cool desings, but is niantic going to use them as more than shadow figures?
Yup, 2 more firends are also going with the articuno team. Articuno has always been my favourite pokemon, so even before knowing that is the most popular in Pokemon GO I was laready on that team.
The guys today also said to be Articuno when they get to level 5.
Who the fuck likes Zapdos? lol

Four times with a full meter.
The way the battles work it feels like the "1 bar" and "2 bar" Specials are the usable ones, and the "3 bar" and "4 bar" Specials seem to take too much time to use to be worthwhile.
I put some in my FAQ, I think it is going to be added to the OP later.

You want question 6

there is joy in sucking dick
There's no way to trash 2km eggs? Ill just have to bite the bullet and birth some Weedles?
The blue shadow was the coolest shadow and that's why I picked blue lol. She looks like a Pirate Trainer or something.

Just saw Snorlax pop up on the nearby menu. I ran out, locked my door and then it vanished.

Hmm I never have either but I'd be down to help work something like this out with you. Maybe something along Las Olas?

The special meter with several bars means it can be used whenever one of those little bars is full. So you can use specials more quickly or hold off and fire off a bunch in a row. Moves with a single bar require for the special meter to be completely full.
I used some multi-bar specials in gym fights yesterday, but things were moving so fast I can't see how those single long bars would be useful.

Cool theres also two female characters and 1 male one, althought until I didnt saw the boots and earring of Blanche I thought it could be a male character.

O shit!
Also, Instinct Leader is the coolest.
The only dude, his name is fucking "Spark," and I love electric types.
Plus Zapdos has the type advantage over both of the other two birds. Resists flying and hits them both with Electric.

So Gengar is the strongest Pokemon? He has the highest regular attack (16) and has the two bar special.
Well, unless their cp is trash

1 bar specials have the problem that you have to use them frequently to get the most mileage out of them, but you can't dodge and use the specials, so sometimes they can actually lower your damage given/damage received ratio because dodging is critical at higher CPs. 2-bar are the best, I find.
I have been playing all day and it seemed to happen when everyone on the east coast got out of work at 5:00

Holy krabs, there's an outdoor mall nearby and there's a bunch of Pokestops there.
I pretty much maxed my items slot within 30 minutes, and I was starting from level 1.

Yeah, we could look into it. I do think I'd have to get the police involved so I have to find out the details on that. It would most likely be on a Saturday if we can get it going.
Also* I just got your PM buddy. Sorry I didn't respond to it earlier, I usually browse Gaf of my phone so I don't always see my PM notifications.
I live in the margate/coconut creek area so that would be fine, or Boca or Ft Lauderdale. Possible we could do it at the Sawgrass Mills mall which might be the easiest location to set it up at.
I'm actually curious what that mall looks like for pokestops

I think you actually interpreted what I was saying backwards.
"1 bar" would be a move that just has a single, large bar.
"4 bar" would be a move that has a bar composed of four segments.
I'm saying the moves that have one large bar seem to be best, and the moves you can use "rapidly" seem to take too long to actually use + generally weak power output to be worth it.
There was an Ivysaur on my Nearby list, with only 1 foot next to it. I freaked, walked outside my house, then it was 2 feet. Then I walked up the street and it disappeared
We're cursed, i missed 1 Bulbasaur, 2 Ivysaur, 2 Venosaur in 2 days
Nowhere to be found
