If you live near Narberth, PA someone loved the living hell out of Ingress and the main street is like a hyper spot of activity. Parked outside the post office for a minute and got three of them. The local bottle shop and ice cream shop also seem to be using lures on their businesses.

Beat my first gym yesterday at a local dog park, my glorious yellow flag was up for about 20 seconds before getting demolished and replaced by team blue and guarded by a Pokemon with twice the CP as my highest. Looked over and saw a 12 year old girl on her phone.  gfanikf posted:If you live near Narberth, PA someone loved the living hell out of Ingress and the main street is like a hyper spot of activity.

Donut shop down the street from my apartment is a Pokestop and they seem to have a lure up every morning around rush hour. I wonder if places are going to see an uptick in business from things like this, I could see Nintendo making another billion dollars from businesses paying to get added as Pokestops or gyms. (I kinda hope this doesn't happen though, I like everything being centered around art or history) Hobo Clown fucked around with this message at 15:59 on Jul 12, 2016 |

So it's currently storming in my city. Do different Pokemon actually show up when it rains or was that info completely wrong like most info about this game?

The best theory is that theres something based on area popularity (how many people walk around) and the type of area ( parks obviusly get more pokemons than inside buildings). The game seems to recognize some type of day-night cycle, so zubats are going to be more prone to spawn based on how dark is the sky in the game (but here in spain, it don't match our daylight time).

I work in West Chester and for a small town with uni out of session, it got busy quickly. (So many churches and plaques.) I've got a couple friends also on Blue, we're probably going to try to make regular excursions around the borough.

Wife and I went for a 'pokewalk' last night, and we sat down at a park with a lure up on it. A few other couples were hanging out there and obviously playing pokemon, which was cool and p chill. A young woman comes up all high-strung and asks, seriously, if we were attacking the red gym nearby. We say no. The young girl then vents about how stressful it is controlling the gym from people trying to take it, blah blah blah. Legit stressed about this. The people at the table over laugh at her and say they're trying to take it over. The young woman then says 'but have you captured the Snorlax up by [Local pizza join 2 blocks away]?' They hadn't. So all three of them go marching away to the pizza joint staring at their invisible monster game. Bravo, gym leader. Bravo.

Two questions: Is there any purpose whatsoever to tapping on the map and seeing the blue ping appear? Sometimes when I'm on the map screen, I hear a little whimper or whine noise. What the gently caress is that?

Living in a major city is amazing for leveling up and catching Pokemon, but I actually think it would be fun to live in a smaller town with just a few gyms for the purpose of battling. Being surrounded by a billion gyms makes it a constant back and forth game and it's not really possible to overthrow one for very long. I imagine a small town with like 4 gyms would be fun to see the same people battling for domination. Time to finally visit my parents I guess.

Well I was pleasantly surprised when I went into town today to find out that the place is crawling with Pokestops and suchlike. So it's just the really local area that's bereft of stuff. This had better have enough staying power for the game to reach Goomy.

There's always going to be a small amount of people that go crazy with stuff like this so gyms are still locked down with absurdly high stuff but you don't get the fun of seeing pokemon everywhere. I live in a fairly dense suburb next to a major metro area that apparently wasn't big into Ingress so there's few pokestops which means very few pokemon to catch.

I was just thinking how effective it would be for smaller B&M shops, POIs, and maybe other locations that people spend their money at. Location owner or employee pops a lure... BOOM you've got many potential customers. Obviously most people will just congregate and then leave but probably not a bad idea for a ice cream shop or something.

The funnier stories are of the people who unknowingly bought properties that were Ingress sites and then converted them to residential. So now they have people flocking to their house at all hours looking for Snorlax.

FrankieGoes posted:Unless red or blue in your area is still a weak team. We've already seen people say that the local sportsball teams color is red (or blue), so anything other than that is always going to be the weak team. Better to implement some sort of mechanic that will help even things out. Any Pittsburgh goons itt? I wonder if Team Yellow is significantly more popular there than elsewhere.

Between my run last night and another one this morning, my inventory is completely full and I can't pull any more items from Pokestops. Unfortunately my Pokemon are still all dogshit though, so unless I come across a low-level gym doing any battling is tough going. Level 12 and I think the highest CP I have is 500 something. One small thing I noticed and liked is that if you spin a Pokestop, hitting X will collect all the items quickly. No need to pop all the bubbles individually. Oh also, found a Yellow gym and wanted to help fortify it. A bunch of my Pokemon were greyed out and it wouldn't let me add them, anyone know why this is? They're in my Pokemon inventory (not at another gym) and have full health.

Radish posted:How do you knock off pokemon from gyms where you are the same team? I know if you beat every pokemon at a gym you can start doing it, but I'm seeing level 6-7 trainers (so probably don't have access to ridiculous stuff yet) at gyms stationing CP 100 pokemon where the leader is CP 800 pokemon so there's no way those guys are beating the entire gym. You can swipe to dodge attacks. This is very important. YOU CAN SWIPE TO DODGE ATTACKS. I didn't notice it earlier, but someone mentioned that when the screen flashes yellow, that's when you swipe to dodge. I tried it out and it works. If you're patient, you can just attack immediately after dodging and win the fight with no damage taken.

Tei posted:Most players are too young. I don't talk to them because I don't want to annoy them. I was at a park catching pokes and hitting stops, and getting ready to leave. One of the covered areas had some people setting up for a party, and I saw a couple of maybe 10 year olds running around. The parents were all talking to eachother, and I asked the kids and parents if it was someone's birthday. The birthday boy was all "YES THATS ME IM TEN OMG" I dropped a lure on the pokestop that was their covered area, and told him I did so, and said happy birthday. The kid looked at me like I had just started speaking in tongues, but all 10 adults whipped out their phones and said thank you. I actually see lots of families out and about, but it's more frequently the adults who are actually playing. The kids are all running around being kids with other kids. I've talked to most of them. No one has been weird about it. LegalPad posted:Is there any way to catch up to gyms who have supermobs on them? Like is it already too late to do gym stuff If you aren't already high level. The post just previous to yours explains the best way. Also picking the right pokemon for the job. The gym closest to my house always has a high CP pokemon guarding it. But I find the right types to fight it and I can take it out with like half the CP. CainFortea fucked around with this message at 16:42 on Jul 12, 2016 |
