Q: Since when was Metropolis just across the bay from Gotham City?

In Batman vs Superman, Metropolis is apparently just across the bay from Gotham City. Has this ever shown up in any of the comics or shows before? And if they've been so close, why hasn't Batman met Superman before? I mean they're so close, they could have met for lunch or something.

@AnkitSharma soo cute.

Ankit Sharma

user116211

BTW, are legendary pokemons covered in Pokemon Go?

Ankit Sharma

user116211

@AnkitSharma oh man ;)

Ankit Sharma

No pokeball to catch him

user116211

@AnkitSharma why not free some?

Ankit Sharma

It doesn't work like that

You have to go to pokestop to get them

user116211

08:31

@AnkitSharma okay, so where is your nearest pokestop?

Ankit Sharma

@MAFIA36790 nobody got it yet, they did made us select three teams and each of them are presented by one flying legendary pokemon

user116211

@AnkitSharma ohh.

user116211

Meanwhile,

user116211

Will we ever get Pokémon Go on Windows 10?

@MAFIA36790 next building to my company and already been there and got 2 pokeball and used them already, other point are on some walking distance but can't leave office that rapidly

It seems everyone ignores Windows ;\

user116211

There is no SE app for Windows phone ;(

Dr R Dizzle

@MAFIA36790 Yup, there is a reason I got an Android phone this time. I loved the UI of Windows Phone (easily the best there is, in my opinion), but the lack of app support is an OS killer.

how is such an edge case like field of dreams not more contentious? oh. that's why.

@DrRDizzle You mean old bad history

British Raj

The British Raj (/rɑːdʒ/; from rāj, literally, "rule" in Hindustani) was the rule of the British Crown in the Indian subcontinent between 1858 and 1947. The rule is also called Crown rule in India, or Direct rule in India. The region under British control was commonly called India in contemporaneous usage, and included areas directly administered by the United Kingdom, which were collectively called British India, and those ruled by Indian rulers, but under British tutelage or paramountcy, and called the princely states. The resulting political union was also called the Indian Empire and after...

lol

phantom42

@Himarm i drove by an area with a squirtle this morning. nowhere near close enough though and i didnt have time to go find it

Himarm

Himarm

12:42

my cousin caught a hypno at his wal-mart timeclock

phantom42

except that house sucked

Himarm

charmanders are rummored to hang out at gas stations

phantom42

i was as at a wawa (gas station) this weekend. no joy there.

but i've heard that you see more/better pokemon as you level up

i just hit 7 this morning

Himarm

user116211

12:45

@DrRDizzle where did you get it?

Dr R Dizzle

@MAFIA36790 I caught a ton of Ghastlies in various places and evolved it.

user116211

@DrRDizzle ;)

phantom42

this game almost makes me miss working in downtown dc

almost

but then i remember working in downtown dc

but damn, i could have just taken a walk around the block outside my office and probably cleaned the hell up

i could see the fence to the south lawn from the corner my office was on

and the capital building

Loong

Last night, I was mainly hunting water creatures.

I wanted to catch enough Psyducks so that I could evolve one to Golduck.

Himarm

its just pidys for me

phantom42

12:49

maybe i'll try walking around the lake behind my house tonight

Himarm

nothing but dam pidys

i wont even spell their name right

stupid bird whores

phantom42

oh, that's why you won't spell something right?

you have to have a reason now?

Himarm

i have some reasons when i know how to spell it

Loong

Why does Magikarp need 400 candies to evolve?!

Dr R Dizzle

@Loong Because it's meant to be hilariously difficult to train up a Magikarp.

Himarm

12:54

just like in the game

since you had to swap his ass out every fight

Dr R Dizzle

How do I upload a screenshot via mobile?

phantom42

you dont

Himarm

@DrRDizzle turn it into full site mode

on mobile

phantom42

at least not that i've found

it's such a pain

Himarm

the app lets you switch

Dr R Dizzle

Himarm

i assume theres an android

phantom42

user116211

phantom42

Dr R Dizzle

@MAFIA36790 That's Le Spook to you!

Himarm

it got updated with chat

like 6 months ago

phantom42

when?

i'm in it right now

Himarm

for iphone

you have to hold down on sci/fi

then chat/meta pops up

user116211

12:58

@DrRDizzle: Where did you get the Paras? Pharmaceutical shop ;P

phantom42

well i'll be damned

way to hide that

Himarm

phantom42

i got paras in the meat department in my grocery

Himarm

yeah

phantom42

of note: about 20 feet from the seafood counter

Himarm

12:59

so the app lets you switch between a clean chat room with no upload, or full chat where you can upload

phantom42

it's the same as the regular mobile site on your phone browser

user116211

I once emailed SE team when they were making SE app for windows.... I got no reply :(

"Please can you respond only to the sender by selecting ‘Reply’ NOT ‘Reply to All’, someone just congratulated someone else for commenting that it should only be replied to the sender, then included everyone!!!"
"And so did you – at least cheered up a rainy Monday"

Dr R Dizzle

Is it best to evolve your Pokemon and then level them up, or level them up and then evolve them?

Himarm

@DrRDizzle theory crafters have determined it doesnt mater which order you do it in

the stats will be the same

Loong

13:53

Q: Does it make a CP difference if you feed candies before or after evolving?

When activating the evolution for a caught pokemon, it seems to amplify the CP. Thus it is most beneficial to evolve your pokemon with the highest CP, if you have multiple of the same kind. But what I am not sure about: Does it make an efficiency difference, if you spend candies and dust to boos...

pokemon-go

Ankit Sharma

Problem is when you waste energy in leveling up and then u suddenly get pokemon more leveled up then your current one

Dr R Dizzle

@AnkitSharma That's exactly why I'm evolving first, and then levelling up, and only evolving my high level Pokemon.

Himarm

its a crap shoot anyway

Dr R Dizzle

Agreed

Himarm

also, you can power up further, as your level higher

my pidgeot was maxed power up at lvl 10, but at level 11 i can power him up 2-3 more times

so you have to keep spending dust anyway

and next week at level 20 ill be catching pideots higher level then mine is right now >.>

Dr R Dizzle

13:59

I had 90 Pokeballs at the start of the day. I have 140 now. The benefits of working within range of two Pokestops are huge.

fucckk. there's a lure nearby

think i'm gonna go take a break.

Jack B Nimble

rare pokemon, and candy. It's a win win.

Ankit Sharma

@DrRDizzle grrrr.....luck

I lost many pokeballs when hunting Psyducks with higher cp.

I have some “great balls” now, but I don’t notice any difference.

So what team is everyone? I'm Team Blue.

<-blue

phantom42

red

mostly because that's what my finger was closest to when i picked

@Loong, you're a mod. Can you delete @phantom42's account, for Team Blue?

Ominous.

@JackBNimble It's not my fault that he chose the wrong team.

Loong

@DrRDizzle sure

phantom42 has been kicked from Agents of Nothing and cannot return for 60 minutes.

Himarm

Red seems to be the team of choice for kids

and bros

blue is hipster

and yellow is some left over rejects

theres like 1 yellow dood in town

phantom42

the jesus froyo place by my house is a yellow gym

Loong

We should spread a rumour that there is a secret team that you get if you ignore red, blue, and yellow – like the starter Pikachu.

Dr R Dizzle

My phones GPS on Pokemon GO is really inaccurate if I'm using 4G.

phantom42

14:34

so whats the deal in the uk then?

i thought they delayed the launch there

Dr R Dizzle

@phantom42 They did. I have the APK version.

phantom42

but all the pokestops and gyms and spawn points work in the uk even though it's not out there?

Dr R Dizzle

@phantom42 Yup. They must have been set well in advance.

Himarm

I think they just losde

loaded the whole workd up

im pretty sure your not region locked so we can catch pokemon world wide

phantom42

right. i just wasnt sure if the game recognized locations worldwide already despite it not being released in certain areas yet

oh, you're blue team. that explains it.

Dr R Dizzle

@phantom42 100%, which means "fully" for any Americans/Team Reds reading this.

Just realised the three team colours not only match up to the three legendaries in the first generation of Pokemon games, but also the three different games released as part of that generation - Red, Blue and then later Yellow.

Nice one, Niantic.
