Pokemon Go
 

Sure there is a thread on this already but too lazy to dig it up.
Got invited to the field test today, apparently today is the start of the beta for NA. Wondering if anyone else got in and how you feel about the game.
I'm still early on (Level 4), curious to see how the battle system will work once I find a Gym.

omg how do i sign up

I DIDNT GET INVITED TO FIELD TEST NOOOOOO

dis game weird bruh

i thought u werent allowed to share game display stuff dude

RIP Jester, you will get rekt by Nintendo now

How would Nintendo stop leaks from happening lol

What's with all the CP, Jester? :l

Is it possible to use Pokemon Go while being on the train?

hardly leaked I'm sure I saw a vid showing stuff like that somewhere, cba looking for it though. Personally think game will suck having to go here there and everywhere for chance to get certain pokemon. Where the old pokemon's at revamped and put onto ios :(

idk what cp is btw

Is it possible to use Pokemon Go while being on the train?

I dont use a train so idk. probably

nice

Quick, Post it on the internet and be famous!

Seeing as you guys dont seem to have to field test, if you have any questions, Ill try and figure it out for yall

Have you found any final evo - stage Pokemon yet? One thing that really put me off was the idea of finding Lv.4 Charizards flying round your garden

Also, tell us how they're doing Gym Leaders when you find out please, I'm really curious how!!

BUT HOW DO I SIGN UP

It's too late to sign up now lmao.

x.x

Evolution is weird. The only Final Evo I have found in the wild is a Pidgeot, but that asshat was too hard to catch.

The normal way to evolve is by catching a bunch of the same type of pokemon. There is a feature called transfer in which you transfer a pokemon to the professor permanently, and the professor gives you a candy.

Ex If you transfer a charmander, you get a charmander candy etc

When you catch a pokemon you get a candy as well. The candy is used for two things, power up and evolve. I have only evolved three pokemon so far, the Raticate, Magneton and Caterpie. They both had about a 15 candy evolve requirement. So you need a certain amount of candies to evolve.

The Caterpie only cost 5 candies to evolve to metapod. From metapod to butterfree it cost 12 candies. Some of the rarer pokemon cost more candies to evolve.

Ex my Ryhorn cost 20 candies to evolve, and so far I've only come across one. Growlith cost 20 as well.

Powering up uses candies, but only 1 or 2 (that I have found so far) but it also uses another currency called stardust which you get from catching any pokemon

Hey, can you go on a train for me and test it out, thx

Nice

Sorry if this has been mentioned already but, any indications about IAPs? Hope its not p2w/too much p2p

I am pretty sure there will be IAP for pokecoins (currency used to buy pokeballs, egg incubators, incesnse and bag/pokemon storage upgrades)

Sounds like a moneymaking con. :|

Gyms are also weird. Did a few today, essentially you can join one of three teams (Red, Blue and Yellow). Once you come across a gym that is owned by a member of another team, you can take it over for your team. Whoever is defending the gym leaves on of their pokemon at the gym to defend it, the attacker selects his pokemon to attack and its basically a tap, swipe, hold type deal to attack and defeat the pokemon the owner left behind.
You can also battle at a gym of your own team to level the gym up or something.

I tried driving and playing, the gps is really ****ed if youre going fast (dont know if because beta and ****, or how its supposed to be because youre supposed to walk and play not drive) but I did manage to catch a gastly and pidgey while driving so theres that

maybe, I'm keeping in mind that this is a beta and anything I see is subject to change, however I am certain there will be IAP in some form

Pokémon Go released in Japan, Australia, and New Zealand today!

I got it in NA. https://youtu.be/WUIK5XUrIM4

I hate how the game is based on catching pokemon, not battling

same, i created a fake australian apple id and downloaded the game. i do agree the evolution system is lame but it is still fun. it literally made me ride my bike down the block to catch a magikarp.

i would've walked wtf

ew walking

WTF Nintendo, what makes you think I'm going to get off my fat ass to go catch some ****ing Pokemon in the middle of the freeway?

JK this looks pretty cool, wouldn't mind taking a nice stroll around my neighborhood in 90 degree weather to find me some Pokemon to catch.

5:40 AM in aus and getting this

The servers are down for maintenance for everyone. The early release in the certain places were basically to stress test the servers, if you had the beta you were also able to download it no matter where you are.

Aw goddammit I wanted let Pokemon into my house and have them just vandalize my property.

The future is amazing.

EDIT: Looks like its available to download for both iOS and Android in the US.

EDIT2: Just ran out in the middle of the night to try and catch some pokemon, holy **** this is weird.

The game literally spawns Pokemon in the backyards of total strangers.

Unless I want to get shot or arrested for trespassing I ain't going for them.

Welp looks like I just went out in the middle of the night for nothing, even got bit by some mosquitoes.

GG game.

OUT FOR THE U.S. NOW WOOOO.

sadly same error as ash

hello darkness my old friend

Making a Pokemon Go discord server. Anyone down to moderate?

Not released in the netherlands yet it seems like.
Rip

I wish they would have done a worldwide release instead of just 3 places

wonder how the first death will be. we all know some pokemon is gonna be at a dangerous spot and some ****tard will actually put themselves in danger.

My sister and I are having the best time with this

So pumped, everyone join the discord server VIY posted. :P

The concept of the game is cool and I can kinda see the appeal, (call me lazy) but I rlly cbf walking just to get a virtiual item or pokemon.

I would.
I don't go outside and am not motivated to physically do anything.
This would actually give me something to do

there were 2 pokemans inside my house this whole time and I had no idea

I dont feel safe

Which were they? I caught a horsea in my living room earlier.

My sister and I are hitting up our gyms tomorrow.

prob me. if i see a jigglypuff, im riskin my life for that bitch

my phone only has android 4.3
