EbolaIvory posted:Our town is doing weekly Pokemon events at the zoo and other places. We're having 1500+ people show up at events that normally wouldn't bring in 300. My city's zoo is doing the same thing and there's a lot of places that are doing things like that. The Chuck'E'Cheese that's a pokestop is almost always lured and there's a lot of people in the parking lot. Before pokemon go the lot was rarely full. It was consistently about half full and now it's closer to 3/4 full all the time. I hate that they took out the tracking but I thought about it today and while I really enjoyed it I didn't really worry about tracking too much. Hopefully they bring it back but if they don't then I don't think it's going to have too bad of an effect, especially since it's been broken for most of the time anyways.

So how are you meant to play the game to completion? Like I want an Aerodactyl, but none spawn anywhere in my neighborhood, near any of my friends, at my school, or at my job. Are you meant to just walk around the city until you happen upon a place?Countblanc posted:sorry, gen 2 sucked. go play it now, it's a miserable game and it isnt broken in nearly as many funny ways as gen 1 is You're wrong. Except about the broken bit, I guess, but I've never cared for glitches.

Are you meant to just walk around the city until you happen upon a place? Eggs. I'm serious. I got a Aerodactyl from an egg. What hatches from a egg is always near your level (e.g. if you're level 21, it'll probably be 20). It also generally has good IVs (most eggs are 75%+ IV). Importantly, it gives you a consistent chance to get rare pokemon that you normally wouldn't be able to get out in the wild. In addition to that, you'll get candy to level them up. So if you get an Aerodactyle out in the wild, you can power him up at most 3 times. If you get him from an egg, not only will he be leveled and high quality, but you can power him up for a while. If you're going to spend money on anything in this game, egg incubators I think are the best investment.

People are not claiming this game is dead right now. They're claiming the game will be dead far faster than it should die if nothing is done to change Niantic's course. But you can just go ahead and keep strawmanning if it makes you feel better.

Don't worry, a 10k egg can only hatch 10k stuff. You can get a Pinser from it, which is probably the worst thing. You may get an Eevee, but depending on your perception, that could be a good or bad thing (personally, I prefer not to get Eevees from 10k eggs).

Dahbadu posted:Doesn't seem like a fad where I live. Seems there's more players every day. I have noticed that there are less stationary groups, though. Which is a good thing. Moving around is super important because hatching eggs is super important. It's definitely dying out where I live. But going by my local FB group, it's because teens are realising that instead of wasting money buying packs of pokéballs to catch weedles round town, they can get cheap student rail tickets to Belfast where they can max out their inventory and catch more pokémon in an hour than they would in a whole weekend here. Another bunch of folk on there were heading to the coast for a beach BBQ/water pokémon catching party. There's going to be an inevitable drop-off, but it seems the more dedicated people are getting smart and going where the pokémon are. Dely Apple posted:Anecdotal but dang, I'm 16 and every rear end in a top hat pokemon is at least 2 balls now. A CP 20ish Mankey didn't concede immediately. Small sample size on like 20 of them, but I'm not missing or anything. I've noticed they seem to perform their attack animation a lot more often, which results in perfectly good throws bouncing off. It's definitely harder to catch mons. I've been level 23 for almost 2 weeks before the update, and still level 23 and there is a noticeable increase in the number of balls needed to catch even low-level spawns. I think they've also changed something in the curveball dynamic. I had this down to a fine art, but now my muscle memory is causing me to miss throws all the time.

It's also full of Drowzees, but at least I can evolve them into a Hypno for exp a couple of times a week. I've hatched 7 10km eggs now. 6 Eevees, 1 Snorlax. Eevees spawn near my house in the sticks, so I'd already gotten all 3 evolves not long after hatching the 2nd or 3rd one. But hey, I got my big ol' cuddly Snorlax

I attribute a lot of those (like xatu, misdreavus, magcargo) to Gen 3. Probably because they were so prevalent in the middle of the game. My knowledge of pokemon goes way downhill after Ruby/Sapphire. Until yesterday I forgot Diamond/Pearl, B/W and X/Y existed despite having played hundreds of hours between them. e: Gen IV was lucario?? gently caress the newer games may as well be fever dreams to me.

My only gripe is low power mode being MIA, but whatever. The tracking thing sucks but it's still fun just wandering around anyways.

I've heard of Electabuzz and Magmar nests, but not Aerodactyls, but keep your ears open to see if anyone in your area has discovered one. Hopefully you have a local pokemon go facebook group. Barring that, spend a lot of time at your local park or wherever the highest density of pokemon stops are. The Aerodactyl won't be guaranteed to show up even if you stay there for 30 hours a week, but at least there will hopefully be other people around you who can say "woah, Aerodactyl over here!" if one DOES spawn.
