Pokemon Go

Draiman

Dude there is this DAMN SQUIRTLE THAT RUNS AROUND MY YARD AND I CAN'T FIND HIM. He's been taunting me for 2 days now.

Jensen

Did you check the long grass?

Solaria

My area is mostly Pidgey, Rattata (at night), and Eevee. I caught about 5 Eevee yesterday, but like..10 Pidgeys.

Jensen

There's a Taurus near my officr

Antehe

What's the one that looks like a termite and the bun from SausageParty hooked up? There's two gyms that have them around me.

never stop describing what pokemon look like. just block out all their names from now on and do that

(Gods): You say, "I still am stuck wondering wtf Ant’s termite bun thing is."

(Gods): You say, "Diglett maybe?"

(Gods): Antehe says, "Isn't that a hotdog in the ground."

(Gods): You say, "..Yes. Yes it is, so you know that one."

Never change

Antehe

The great and all-knowing @Razmael has enlightened me, in that the termite bun is a Pinsir.

Nola

all my friends here are playing it (of course me too). I caught a Venomoth in my kitchen, a Dodrio in my bedroom, and a non starter squirtle at target, and I just caught a Scyther in my living room. I posted on Facebook about the Venomoth and my mother thought that meant I had rats and she needed to buy me rat traps and I laughed my unicorns off.

I leave my house, Pokemon Go servers down. Get home, servers back up.

I control your lives.

Jensen

deal with it

Draiman

I have to ask because of Illidan, but has anyone felt the need or obligation to spend money yet? I've admittedly started running "low" on Pokeballs (down to like 60), but I've also caught and released enough Rattata's to where the only one I have left is in the top percentage of Rattata's and l heavily neglected the Pokestops last few times I was out.

Jensen

no I have a shitload of pokestops around my house and job. none of the pay fors seem to be of any value to me.

Antehe

I gave them 10 bucks, not out of need, but out of "once these servers are fixed I'm going to enjoy this, good on you."

Bought some lures since I've seen other spots near me using them, once servers are stable I'll help out my little workplace (since the pokestop is next to my desk).

Buford

Don't even get me started on how Antehe lucked out with pokestops. One next to your desk, and two in your hallway?

HNNNNNGGGGGGG.

I have to go into town every time I need to refill

Jensen

arent they based off the points from their other game?

Demarcus

I installed this. It was funny. I was catching Pokemon as my wife drove. Then she got annoyed because I wasn't listening.

This game actually made me take my dog for a walk this morning at 0630. Cray-cray.

I took over two local gyms, but some punks with pathetic pokemon apparently beat my pokemon with at least twice the CP of their garbage. WTF are the point of the gyms, anyways? The EXP is terrible for battling. Plus no candy to evolve. Lame.

Like the game though.

HATE THE SERVER ISSUES. Pls fix.

Jensen

I was told combat so far is just spam tapping for attack, no bother dodging

Solaria

Meh..I'm almost out of pokeballs and almost level 6. I live in the rural area, so I have to drive about 5 miles to get to a hotspot. And, from what I can tell, mine aren't doing anything? Maybe I'm just doing something wrong. Idk.

Toz

There are no pokeshops within 15 miles of me.

Antehe

Make sure you flick the hotspot whenever it's cyan!

GUYS, I CAUGHT MY OWN TERMITE BUN.

Solaria

Antehe said:

I was tapping on it. Not the same thing, I assume?

Antehe

Nope! You tap on it to open it up once it's in range (it turns into a big round THING), and then once it loads the name/picture (since this can take a while with the servers right now), flick the disc in the middle to make it spin like a Lannister's coin.

It will then either:

• Do nothing because the server's broken and stalling and give no sign of a problem
  
• Do nothing and tell you to try again later because of the servers
  
• Tell you your inventory is full (but it will still give you XP)
  
• Give you an arrangement of goodies (3-5 things).

You have to swipe across it to get the token spinning, as that happens little bubbles filled with goodies will fly out that you tap on to collect!

Thanks @Antehe and @Buford - I managed to sneak out and get it to work. Though..apparently, the fates did not like this and made it start pouring super bad as soon as I did.

Zaila

So, you all convinced me (unintentionally) to download it. Low and behold, there is a pokestop literally next door to my condo. WOO. Going walking tonight!

Buford

Wooooooo.

Farmed enough Eevees for this to happen:





THEN, as if to make things better, on my way home from breakfast I ran into a wild this guy and caught it:

Antehe

I don't now what I'm doing with evolutions. I don't know which to keep (other than having higher CPs) and which to get rid of, and it is stressing me out!
