The lack of GAMEPLAY in this game is shocking. Can anybody think of a real reason not to include the full rosta of 150 original Pokemon?
Think it through buddy, get those cogs grinding. They need a platform for events among other reasons, aaaaand you're not exactly supposed to find some of the most legendary creatures in the pokeverse down the street from your house...
Not to get all political but my playing Pokemon go seems to offend the Trump crowd I get called all kinds of shit just cuz I like it Nevermind that I have a job a family and I really just enjoy the game with my kids Seems the bullies are not just following the king bully's lead and bashing things they don't understand. If I have never heard of it or I don't like it you're a dumbass for liking it. I am sure I am not the only one sick of it. I just don't talk about the game anymore and enjoy it silently as to not have to take shite from ignorant people.
The gameplay more or less happens off the screen. The game facilitates real-life treasure hunts you can enjoy solo or as a community. There's not a lot of skill or difficulty in actually throwing the balls or (aside from level/type) battling in the gyms, but it isn't meant to be that way. There's a "real" Pokemon game coming in a few months for people who want that. This game? This is about a different kind of gameplay. Walking around. Using tracking skills. Talking to people in your community. Learning about new areas of your town. Interacting with your enviroment. Etc.
I downloaded the game yesterday but all I get is a message that says "our servers are currently experiencing issues. Please try again later" I haven't been able to try it yet. Does anyone else have this problem?
If you're trying to log in / set up a Pokemon Trainer Club account, that's currently pretty bad. Try logging in through Google for a better result.
I can't believe Niantic have released this in the UK and still weren't prepared for the influx of players. They need to stop being money grabbers. The game is going to make a profit.....a huge profit. So for the love of god just buy too many servers and remove the ones you don't need later. I love the game and I've spent money on it already. I've used incense that I paid for and wasted it due to crappy servers. I'm just so frustrated with 95% of my catches crashing the game or things not loading. Ugh....needed to let that out.
Close every app and restart your phone. If that fails, then delete and redownload the App. It's crashed about 3 times for me after catching a Pokemon but just restart the App, you don't lose anything...otherwise zero server problems for me in the UK, may be your end? Then again haven't tried using any items. This so much, finally someone speaking sense. The game, from an engineering perspective is pretty poor, it crashes, doesn't work brilliant etc...but playing this with friends and exploring the community is so much fun. Have ran into loads of groups playing this game, and either had some banter about the team rivalries or even been told in what direction rare Pokemon like my Golduck are in. This far transcends the restriction of your little black box you use for video games.
I thought that initially but everything was fine until about 4pm. Went out for a bike ride and at one point I was 11/13 attempts to catch a Pokemon resulted in the screen freezing. I'm on a 6s playing with 4g when out and about. Even crashed once earlier when connected to WiFi. Only had the one attempt when connected to WiFi so I'm not sure if I'd have been successful with further attempts.
Hmm fair I stopped just before that time...I'll see if I'm having any problems later, but I'm on the same device/4G too and it's only froze a couple of times...hopefully they iron out any problems soon though.
Ok so I deleted the app and reinstalled it but now I can't login it says I need to verify my Pokemon Trainer Club account which I'm pretty sure I did back when I made one but when I go to verify and click the link it gives me server maintenance page. Anyone else with this issue and also I was playing the game fine before the update but now all of this.
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-07-14/rio-mayor-wants-pokemon-go-for-olympics/7629922 Lol This game hype is CRAZY! Even the mayor of my city wants a piece of it. I suspect he want to catch some pokemons himself. ""Hello Nintendo! There are 23 days until the Rio 2016 Olympic Games," Mr Paes said on Facebook. "Everybody's coming. You should come on down too," he wrote with the hashtag #PokemonGoNoBrasil (Pokemon Go in Brazil). Pokemon Go has just been released in Australia, US and New Zealand ahead of a global push. And Brazilians do not want to be left out of the fresh craze. The mayor's campaign has generated support on Twitter with Brazilians tweeting Mr Paes' hashtag and variations of it including #WeWantPokemonGoInBrazil."
I'm really liking it but the amount of freezes is beyond insane, I'm playing on a SE and It freezes about 3 times during each battle, it's ridiculous!
Yeah I'm mostly using it for the eggs/pokestops. Most captures end in a freeze so unless I see something CRAZY I'm not going to purposefully crash my game
Set out for the gym 30 minutes early today to use an incense on the way. UK servers were fine until about 6.30am and then it's like everyone woke up and launched the app. Catches started freezing and poke stops stopped showing up on the map. Another incense wasted lol. Did manage to discover that if you come across a Pokemon with ???cp then it's apparently rare or extremely powerful. Caught a 941cp Hypno
