Nah, once you have unlocked them (level 8 or so iirc), they are fairly common drops.

I hit like 30 pokestops today and only got one. Level 12 :shrug:

So long as it has a mobile network connection then yes.

One of the dudes around here is hotspotting his phone and playing on his tablet because it's "faster" and "more reliable."

Catching a 216 Wartortle in my living room at level 15 is so bittersweet. Like, couldn't he be at least 400?

Weird, I'm sitting on about 70 of them at the moment, and I use them on anything above 150cp.

I really hope all involved weren't stupid enough to think that anyone with even the smallest bit of tech savy wouldn't download the APK/Itunes install file as soon as it was out and no news was forthcoming on a UK and or [Insert other country here] launch.

I parked my car next to a curb for this.

It was at CP 292, still caught it with a regular rear end pokeball.

Technically, you can play Pokemon Go over wifi on a tablet or other device without LTE/4G or tethering to the same, but it's pointless. It would be virtually impossible to play outside of an incredibly dense area, like a coffee shop in Times Square or some such.

I made the mistake to chose Blue for team, .... in a city where the local soccer club main color is red. Now I have to live in a sea of red gyms. I have to go outside a few time each day to reconquer the gym just next to my home, when some punk come and conquer it.

Is a weird merge of game and real life when you see in real time somebody conquering your gym, and escaping in a skateboard.

Well fingers crossed that all is well! I met four people near my house fighting over two gyms side by side. One guy told me the university up the road has non stop lures on the pokestops across campus so I'm heading up there tonight for beers and pokemon hunting.

You try to be happy when everyone is summoning you everywhere to "be their friend".



So Pokemon GO is officially a cultural touchstone, because it has a Chuck Tingle erotica novel now.

Since I don't remember the password for IAP, I can't make my inventary bigger. And is already overflooded. So visiting more pokestops is pointless. What I am doing now is tryiing to capture rare pokes, and leveling.

I am really bad at it, It took me about 40 minutes walking in a park (where I had a Flareon signal) and nothing, I did not manage to catch it. So much this that I feel that the game was trolling me.

I don't really buy the argument that they had to dumb down the battles to appeal to the mainstream since the actual Pokemon games are aimed at children and the mass market too.
