Pokemon Video Game • Page 58

Just hit level 12 today and started collecting Great balls finally.

 

You should still catch and evolve them because doing so gives you tons of XP and star power

 

People who join the game late will never ever be able to take over a gym. Even on official release day in Canada every gym will have like 1000+ CP Pokemon

 

ya and that sucks...

 

Like I got the game a few days late here where the game isn't even released and every gym had a fully evolved Pokemon on top. I saw one in a super unpopulated area that only has a venomoth so there's a bit of hope for me maybe.

 

i live in a fairly populated city close to the downtown area. lvl 13 w/ highest cp in the 900's but all the gyms around me have 1200 plus. some a hole as an almost 2k snorlax at one of them.

 

Gen 2 are definitely coming, would make no sense to implement Gen 1 with all the newer typing/movesets otherwise. Like Clefairy is considered fairy type, I doubt they'd do that unless they were planning on adding newer Gens. Also Onix and Chansey are way weaker than other single stage Pokemon, which only makes sense if you assume they did their stats with the assumption that Steelix and Blissey are coming.

 

I'm in south Florida. Vastly different, yet the Pokemon spawning is apparently identical.

 

i have all the caterpie evolutions, but nothing of weedle hah

 

Still pretty new to this. How do I level up my rarer Pokemon e.g. my CP 12 Dratini (may or may not be rare but I've not seen any others) and my Charmander starter?

 

i have no idea how Go works or how to play it especially since it crashes/malfunctions 4/5 times i try to play it

 

I think you have to catch more of the same ones. Then you can "transfer" them into candies and use the candies either to evolve them or level them up.

 

Went to the grocery store today and caught a bunch. Best grabs were a Vulpix and Pinsir it was nice to get something other than a million Rattatas and Pidgeys. Still only at level 7 but it'll change when I'm a bit busier, being at home most of the day is not conducive for this game at all.

 

Just walk around your neighbourhood and stuff, haha.

 

Yeahhh I've been doing that which is how I've gotten this far. It's just all the same stuff right around here so I get excited when I see anything different at all in other areas.

 

this thing tells me "GPS signal not found" over and over again even tho my location is on.

i did get it to work just a few minutes ago and caught an Eevee. when throwing the pokeballs, what's the green circle for? am i supposed to throw it at a certain time?

 

I'm trying to figure that out too. Like, I realize the yellow ones are more likely to break out (I think). But is the goal to hold it until the circle is smaller?

 

no idea. not sure if i'm supposed to line up the green circle, or like you said, wait til it's smaller.

 

Yeah, the smaller the circle is when you throw a pokeball the higher the chance of catching it. And the closer to red the circle gets, the harder it is to catch.

 

I was finding a lot of the same ones in my neighborhood too, but I walked a few blocks past where I normally would go and caught a Growlithe and a Jigglypuff. Sometimes it's just a matter of being out for another 10-20 minutes longer than you have been previously haha.

In terms of the CP levels people are finding with wild Pokemon, are people powering up their Pokemon at all or just waiting until they catch higher level ones? I'm realizing it's probably just better to save the stardust, but I'm one of those players that gets too attached to their Pokemon and wants to see them stay their best ones lol.

 

I burned a bunch of stardust when i started. I think it's best to wait til you get a higher CP of a pokemon and then level up from there. You just blow through too much stardust trying to level a CP 50 vs waiting til you catch a better one.

i went to my local mall on lunch and was pretty much picking them up everywhere i went. got a 300 charmander and saw my first magnemite. definitely best to stick to well traveled areas when you can.

 

Got myself in at 3 gyms today. Had control of one for a few days but had to reclaim it today. Finally did some wandering in my own neighborhood. Pickings are pretty slim here but hard to complain when I'm in the city center most days. My Starmie has been an absolute tank though.

When leaving Pokes at gyms, do you guys leave your strongest? I've decided to keep my number 1 on me at all times and stick my second strongest free Poke to leave behind.

 

I am at 74 caught, and I am going on a walk tonight and vow not to return until I hit 76, so I am undisputedly over the hump. If I don't return, I leave all of my Pokémon to the spirit of our dearly departed ACA.

 

Throwing it out there, do we need a Pokemon Go thread and a main line Pokemon thread?
