  1. I was gonna talk but I'll just post this. well, as say that people got the new praying mantis that rose wanted. The species that disguises itself as a flower. Also that trumpgoose evolves into a gumshoe that is investigating Obama's claim that he was born in Hawaii. Poor bastard doesn't know he's doomed to fail. and why would perfectly good ground and fire types turn into very melting ice types on very hot tropical islands? Seems suicidal to me, as cool as it actually is.
  2. if you don't happen to live near a hot spot or rare pokemon nest, then you're kinda screwed when it comes to catching pokemon. unless they leave pokevision up. We've all already had our fill of running into commons over and over, and in all honesty, you have to travel WAY too far on foot to go from spawn location to spawn location. If you have a bike and things aren't all uphill, things are fine but... the whole game becomes unfeasible when you have almost no way of telling where a pokemon is. Edit: I expect a lot of angry twitter messages on the Go and Niantic profiles. And usage to drop drastically.
  3. tfw you go to sleep late as usual... but then wake up at 8am. what just happened? Did I sleep an entire day? this doesn't make sense. I am just as alarmed as I would feel if I had woken up at 8 pm.
  4. "Behold!! The tea ceremony!" *Does an elaborate tea bag* - Whiskey Tango Foxtrot
  5. I have to drive a bit to get to dratini and squirtle parks. you can't just scan nearby. check with reddit for potential nest locations and scan those often if you can't visit and confirm it first hand. But legitimate park/field areas that are noted on google maps are potential nests. And there's always that one spot in your neighborhood that you notice seems to spawn uncommon pokemon more often than the rest.
  6. TIL that the first status on these forums has 67 comments to it. #history

  7. We could use a badass mallard... plus different gender sprites.
  8. What is with the status spam, Krim?

      Huh? I didn't even notice that had happened until you pointed it out. Ill delete them.

  9. Don't use paras. Or at least wait for better ones. As you level up, new pokemon you'll catch with far outstrip the ones you are currently catching and trying to CP up with candy and stardust is a losing battle. Wait till you hit levels 10 or 12 before you really start to look at pokemon for gyms. Or wait till trading happens and I can give you some of my high level extras. That's gonna be a beastly Dragonite, DD.
  10. Supposedly the lack of games lately is because they've focused on making games for the NX, so they basically already killed the wiiU In other news, turned out all I needed were a few easy to get fragments to finally hit all 50 in Destiny, and thus complete the Year Two Triumphs. :feelsgd: Now to just sit back and wait for the dlc to drop.
  11. www.pokevision.com there's quite a few pokemon like dratini, around there Edge, but you're zoomed pretty far out.
  12. Swamp's right, not an American possum. just look at this ugly thing.
  13. I played it for a while on PS4. I think I'm at a point where I somehow have to get the good/rare mods to get anywhere further.
  14. well, not by yourself. If you had two other friends, they could fight the gym at the same time as you. Makes it easier even if you're underpowered.
  15. One more. And probably the most damning one.... You can't tell me you'd vote for this guy just to be a 'loyalist' Chase. Would you? Did I mention Bernie was a class act?
  16. 100 more posts and then obligatory landmark achievement screenshot.

  17. I applaud Ted Cruz for not falling into peer pressure to endorse a complete asshat. That's like a priest saying they're gonna support the next pope... only to find out that the next pope is the Westboro Baptist Church minister. I'd have a bunch of things to say directly but these fellows do a pretty good of saying it... and in a far more entertaining way than I could ever manage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hgbe8zDDSkI That being said, Bernie Sanders proved himself to be quite the classy person. As a political celebrity and public speaker, I very much expect him to continue be a very influential person. Whenever Hillary makes a move or pushes a policy, I expect all the media to turn to Sanders and ask him his opinion of it. I have no doubt that Hillary will view him as a sounding board. And that makes for a very influential person. Bernie might be out of the race this time, but he will still make a difference.
  18. I can see a new move being created called Play Dead. It lets you lose trainer battles and pay out losses without whiting out or watching all of your pokemon faint. This will be a prime move choice for nuzlocke gamers and speed runners. All joking aside, why a possum?
  19. If the 'leak' about NX is true, the NX is gonna be a complete bust. http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2016/07/26/new-leak-says-the-nintendo-nx-is-a-less-powerful-entirely-portable-console/?utm_source=yahoo&utm_medium=partner&utm_campaign=yahootix&partner=yahootix&yptr=yahoo#2a4fa16963f1
  20. Whatever gym team you are on, we all get good exp for taking out gym pokemon. So put int some weak ones for your neighbors.

      you need your strongest to take over new ones anyways.

  21. What kind of quantifiers went into a program that hired and fired workers? If I saw a snake and knew it to be a golden lance-head snake, what would you do? Ever seen a bullet ant irl? Around your area, what would you say are the average and coldest temperatures in the winter?
  22. What kind of offensive or defensive role you expect a worm to have?
  23. Eh, I have Sprint. When I look at my phone connection I could have 4G, 3G, or LTE at any given moment. The very basic principle of the game requires that you have internet and GPS connection at all times. As long as you can get the proper GPS going, you should be fine. If the game accurately follows you about as you travel to any place, that is a good sign. The game should work fine for you. The leaf patches show you where pokemon most often show up. AKA, they show up more often than at other places. They will throw up leaves even when a pokemon is not there but you should still check them on a regular basis. As 5hift mentioned, the in game radar is completely broken. Even if it weren't.... pokevision.com would be the answer for you. it shows you where pokemon have spawned and for how long they are supposed to be there. Godot and I have tested this site enough to know that A: the in-app radar is absolute. Close the program and reopen it to be sure. If it doesn't show up, even as broken as it is, it doesn't show up again, it either isn't there or you've already gotten your chance at it. B. The site is usually accurate, but the actual appearance of a mon could be several meters to the north.If there are any other pokemon in that area according to the site, evaluate the displacement and move accordingly. You will likely find it. C. If you think you know exactly where a pokemon is... zoom in to max and you will likely find it in a different area if you didn't zoom to max in the first place. Not fully zoomed in areas can put you too far or not far enough to find what you are after. D. pokevision is a tool. As the common army saying goes, be smarter than the tool you work with. Know the times it could be accurate or inaccurate and adjust accordingly. E. sometimes, but not often, the time a pokemon shows up on pokevision is on a lag and shows up on the site long after it shows up on your in-game radar. As mentioned above, the in-game radar is always right. This time you have to work with your fellow trainers to find exactly where this mon is. F. Most people don't care what team you are on. They will ask you what team you are on and be like 'ya' if you are on the same team. But 99.9% of the time they will lead you to the right direction of the mon you are looking for. Most things transcend team alignment. tl:dr- as long as you have a good enough provider to get you accurate gps as you walk, you will be able to enjoy this game. Not that many places have pokemon showing up all the time. So it may not necessarily be your service quality but the time and location of your walking.
