drat, looks like the update ate my 2k egg. I tapped a Pokestop and got an unexpected egg. No egg animation and nothing in my recent list.

No. I wasn't logged into another account on Gmail or Google in my browser. I started up and it had a google page asking me which of my 2 accounts to sign in with. I chose the one that IS my PokeGo account and it started the game with Professor Fruitbat trying to talk to and tell me to catch my first Pokemon. Apparently some people on TA (at least one other, so far) has had the same happen.

My Galaxy S4 4g model updated pokemon today. I have been at GPS signal not found since than, send help EDIT: turned out it was as simple as turning my GPS on and off again, not as simple as turning the phone on or off though Stevefin fucked around with this message at 09:31 on Jul 31, 2016 |

Man, it really isn't much of a game the more you play it, huh.  The main appeal to me right now is catching new pokemon. Gyms change hands here like every few minutes and are therefore best for just getting experience. Personally I don't even bother with them, so that's a huge portion of the game gone. Leveling up is its own issue - obviously I want bigger numbers but with those bigger numbers comes a harder time catching even simple pokemon, which is frustrating. But since I want those big numbers I'm saving up cool new evolves I could be doing for a lucky egg. Which feels like its own anti-fun in a way. Definitely can't wait to see this expanded to future generations. I'd also like it if pokestops could drop lures/incense/incubators at a super low rate (maybe have an account limit of one per day if they're that worried). And for fun it'd be cool to have shinies. And if pokestops could drop like, new avatar clothes or some poo poo because I'm a sucker for stupid poo poo like that. I mean, there's other poo poo like making pokemon spawns more even so people in more rural areas could enjoy it too. And make battling fun or worth it. And make pokemon trackable. And...

I wish you could send your owned pokemon out into the AR world. Or hell, then being able to interact with them like Pokemon-Amie would be fantastic and would probably go over super well with both the casual fans and the pokemaniacs.

Well, they've totally broken the entire reason I was still playing this game, made it clear they'll never fix gigantic bugs, and made changes that seem entirely at odds with what anyone actually wants from the game, but at least I can see my total XP in the profile screen and some of the medals have pretty pictures

I'm honestly shocked the games popularity lasted past that first weekend. It was always going to drop off to a group of die hards before too long. It's just amazing how much that could have been done, wasn't.

The key to this is that they seems to be a small company with a low headcount. They probably have a bad CEO too. The google app misconfiguration error shows that they are not very skilled. What they can do to control a game with so many players seems very limited. They may have huge money problems.... Like... Imagine if they have to pay a google api 50 millions bill day 15, and receive 80 millions from google play shop the day 30 or something like that.

There's like no player drop off here in NOLA. The popular spots have more people than ever, and half of downtown is constantly lured still. I was watching groups of people playing it at work earlier. But here in the city people can just hangout at certain spots and loads of pokemon will pop up. I couldn't imagine playing this in a town of like 50k people with pokevision.com down.

I never played a pokemon game, and now I feel compelled to buy a DS and pick the best one recomende by the experts. I probably should have been down that route with the Twitch play pokemon thing, that I absolutelly loved. I guest i can play on the DS a real pokemon game while I walk.

Most of my pokemon actually come from lured pokestops or just whatever pops up on my way to work. Only went hunting for a specific pokemon once and then I just used pokevision. The later no longer working is a bummer but I don't think any of this will affect how most casual people play the game.

Yeah that's fine. Game was fun for a bit, but it really is becoming quite annoying to play. With pokevision.com you could see how hosed the spawns really were. I really don't feel like walking randomly to just find rattatas.

With how they are going they might just start banning people for that though? Pokevision had the advantage that it was just a web page so no way to track that you are using it.

GeneX posted:that reads a lot like "we've been threatened with a lawsuit and don't want to fight it" Nah, it's more that now the Pokemon Go servers don't show you any Pokemon unless you wait 5 seconds between requests. Considering most Pokemaps used multiple requests in quick succession to cover a larger area, and that most maps only use one or at most a few different accounts while scanning, it's more a practical issue than a legal issue.

I guess until Pokemon tracking is reenabled in some fashion (be it official or otherwise) this is only going to be one of those mobile games I pop open when I'm out and about somewhere and have some time to kill. Just not worth it to waste time fruitlessly tracking down more Pidgeys just to put them in a meat grinder. Fortunately, there are actual decent Pokemon games out there for the 3DS that I can play right this second.

Jesus Christ. Why on earth would anyone dismiss this game as poo poo just because this update didn't make it the best thing? It's not even a month old. It's a runaway success and way more popular than the designers had imagined but, ME AM TOP GOON. GAME NOT PERFECT. (Smashes uninstall button with clenched fist, phone explodes, dusts off hands). I'm still enjoying it. I imagine it'll be a little bit like WOW after a couple of years. It's a very buggy and challenging slog right now but it'll be streamlined and dumbed down until it doesn't require any effort at all. Then all the people that got in on it at the beginning will pine for the days when it was an upside down shitshow because the newbs won't have to climb over a barbed wire fence onto a military base, dodge machine gun fire and deal with a half a day of servers down fuckery to get a half dead snorlax with anal herpes and a sideways eye. Relax folks. Have fun interacting with the tween girls, fedora queers and 8 year old kids camped out on the church steps with their half dead from lack of sleep father who's camping the town gym at 2am with young Caleb who should have been in bed 4 loving hours ago.

For some reason living close to a beach gets me Sandshrews, maybe Krabbys too. Which is odd, because you'd expect a place like SoCal to have Drowzees and Slowpokes BUT NO IT'S SANDSHREWS AND PARAS AND EKANS. Also had two Pikachus close by this one PokeStop I always hit at work.

Someone named SilentUK posted this on Reddit:quote:Also there is huge cultural differences in how people play. Whilst I've seen lots of videos of people in north America talking to strangers and sharing pokemon stories, this would never happen in the UK. I ventured into town today and found a triple lure spot. There was about 25 people hanging around and no one was talking to anyone. Everyone was playing alone minding their own business. Personally, I can't think of anything worse than having to ask a stranger where a rare Pokemon is or might be. I'd rather struggle alone and not find it at all. This is how I feel too. I don't know if Niantic expects everyone to be acting like an American crowd but at least with Pokevision if a rare thing appeared a few people would be around trying to find it and might have a look at one another, say a word or something. Now it's back to nothing.

People could try calming the gently caress down for a little bit and seeing how things turn out before getting upset on a message board that niantic obviously doesn't read. Go send some emails or tweet them, it would be far more productive.
