Q: How can I change location without Wifi

Fredy31I want to play pokemon go, but don't have data on my phone. Is there any way to change my location on my phone so I can move around without leaving my Wifi?

Cool, my mod score rised to 21 apparently
Well not "apparently" as I got to 7k and got more badges
did we ever actually decide anything on pokemon-go questions wherein we find out that the asker is in Canada or something?
I know we talked about it, but did we actually end up anywhere or was it a solid "meh?"
@Wipqozn Dammit, I was just about to post that.
12:15
There's one in the queue with unreleased votes, is why I ask
@Unionhawk Not sure we have.
But the piracy close reason seems like a really good fit.
This issue can't be encountered unless you're playing in an unsupported region.
It's not something legit players will encounter, I don't think.
I mean, if I go to that region, I didn't pirate it, but I'll have that problem
I don't agree
12:16
It's an edge case, sure, but a case
55 secs ago, by Frank
This issue can't be encountered unless you're playing in an unsupported region.
Different definition of legit, I guess.
If the issue happens only because I downloaded it online, sure close that
@Frank I can go to an unsupported region, is what I'm saying
technically
@Unionhawk Yeah, it's a strange edge case.
I wonder what the app would do in that case?
If it would do anything different.
Act as normal and use pokestops as generated from ingress data
12:18
hi
It doesn't give a shit if you're in an unsupported region, and all they care about for sideloading is the standard CYA "please don't or you'll get a virus probably"
+1
@Unionhawk So the question is, do we answer it with, "You're in a region unsupported by the application, and it won't work"? Or do we just close it as unreleased.
I mean, it's not even that it's unsupported, it just happens that there aren't that many Ingress spots in that area
For this, I'd lean towards closing it, because it was asked by someone living in the unsupported region; let someone who has a legitimate use case ask it.
12:20
@MBraedley TOO SLOW
@Frank can you link the question?
@microbuster hi
Technically speaking, an area doesn't have to be supported to have spots, see @Arperum etc

Q: How to get Pokéballs in Pokémon Go?

Leo the lionI have used all my Pokéballs to catch Pokémon. Now I'm trying to get more Pokéballs, but don't know how. I can't see any gym or Pokéstop on my map either. Is there any way to earn Pokéballs or will I get them on a daily basis?

We have loads of spots and players
@Frank That's not the purpose of the unreleased reason. We agreed that if the game were released anywhere in the world then the question would be fine.
12:21
@Unionhawk Isn't he in the EU? Where it's released?
@Frank iirc it's only in US, UK, AU, NZ
@Frank it's not released in the EU
It's released in parts of the EU
@MBraedley Which would be fine, if the game wasn't location-specific.
Yay, Niantic, make this hard on us.
@Frank dont close
But the spots are ingress, so as far as pokestops are concerned, they don't care
12:22
Rural areas in supported regions lack pokestops and gyms too
@Frank Folks are still able to download it via other sources, and more importantly, closing based on whch regions it's out in just isn't realistic at all.
We'd need to maintain a list of "is it out here yet?"
It'sj ust goofy
@Frank But we still have to deal with it in the same way that we deal with games on region locked DVDs, which is to say we tell the asker they're SOL, but don't close the question.
Don't we have a question about playing in the country where Pokestops don't exist?
Could we just dupe it to that?
Best we got is one about requesting a new pokestop
I think
@fredley that cello video you posted is radtastic
12:30
@fredley? more like @radley

Korea censoring Steven Universe
12:36
lol
@Unionhawk I've seen a friend try to play the game here. The map was clean as a desert, even though it should be very crowded
I briefly played Ingress here. You can't go twenty meters without hitting some sort of landmark in the game
Huh
So it isn't quite ingress spots
I keep reading Nice as an adjective instead of a location, which really screws with my mind
They probably disabled it here somehow
@Nzall sorry, was away for a while. Yep, that one @Beta pointed out was the puzzle
12:42
They're definitely using Ingress data. Some of the Pokestop pictures floating online make reference to Ingress

Q: What's an XM-Profiler?

Montag451The Aegis Nova event in Tokyo is featuring a special challenge called "XM-Profiler". Most of the websites about the Aegis Tokyo event are in Japanese so we cannot get the details on what it is. Could someone speaking Japanese or attending the event please enlighten us about its details?

:o a wild ingress question appears. That's an endangered species
CATCH IT AND THROW IT IN A BLENDER
There's something wrong with you
What? Isn't that what we do with all Ingress questions?
Blend them all together into a gooey mushy paste?
It's what we do with most pokemon, what do you think pokemon candies are made out of?
12:45
I thought we smelted them down for that
Hmm, also possible
I guess we throw the rocky or metal ones in a smelter and the rest in a blender?
No, the rest go in a hydraulic press obviously

Q: How to hatch a blue fire dragon on dragonvale

Lizzy2246I was trying to hatch a blue fire dragon on dragonvale an it wasn't working to well.

12:57
What surprises me about pokémon is how inconsistent they are when it comes to the survivability of the pokéballs
Like, people have obviously thrown their pokéballs full-force at rock-type pokemon, but when ash accidentally dropped Snorlax's ball on a rock, it broke to the point of them having to carry Snorlax for miles to the nearest pokemoncenter so they could repair the ball
@Nzall The rock, you see, is made of Plot Device, the most dangerous substance known to television
no, not plotonium!
we are doomed
DOOMED
Plotonium is only dangerous if you're in front of a camera
There's cameras everywhere though!
@Nzall that ball is heavier when it contains a pokemon though
13:27
@arda are you calling snorlax heavy?
@arda ash dropped his ball while Snorlax was outside of it
He was trying to recall it after a battle.
@Unionhawk snorlax is 460kg according to bulbapedia. That is as heavy as urmom.
Cc @Wipqozn on this sick burn
@Nzall ah
And there was one other case where a pokeball broke, but that was an ancient 200 years old model that was keeping a Ninetails captive
My life goal is becoming snorlax: sleep all day, only wake to eat (and have no worries about money when doing it)
@Nzall that's actually weird
13:35
@Nzall Could they not put him in one of the other balls Ash has?
@Nzall But.... the pokemans don't actually reside in the pokeballs
Information has no weight
Yeah, a pokeball is just a pocket dimension or something
This has ruined Pokemans for me, I can no longer maintain my suspension of disbelief
0/10 literally unplayable

Pokethon is also about to be a thing by the way
July 28
Similar team as Zeldathon
(not quite same)
I've never been able to get into zeldathon
It's just nowhere near as interesting as the gdq stuff
Did you hear that @Unionhawk, @SaintWacko just called zelda boring
I mean it is just casual zelda play, so I don't blame him. It's not the greatest to watch sometimes
@KevinvanderVelden No, not zelda, zeldathon
Sgdq wasn't that fun too tbh
13:49
How dare you
Zelda games are really fun
Did you not see the Pokemon red run?
@Unionhawk I'm trying to start drama, why are you using your logic :(
@Unionhawk All I saw of it was the pokemon stuff, and that was great
The Pokemon Red race at SGDQ was incredible.
13:49
I find the GDQ stuff more interesting because they explain interesting things during the run
Reverse badge was also great
Rather than just watching someone else play a video game
@Unionhawk That was crazy

@fredley Yes.
They use location spoofing. It started in Central Park.
Not sure where they're off to now.

They should use drones
4 games 1 controller in particular was incredible
@StrixVaria neat
13:55
@StrixVaria Once a pokemon has been caught, it cannot be moved to another ball, I think
.... Drones to play Pokemon Go? Genius.
@MadMAxJr it's a thing
How do you actually interact with the game when the phone is on a drone though?
Or is it just for egg hatching?

@fredley there's remote control apps

Q: My Pokemon go game isn't working properly

kamariMy Pokemon go game doesn't Walk much but it works better with other stuff how do i fix my problem.

Why do I suddenly want Monster Hunter Go?
places bounty
@MadMAxJr because you don't really like yourself
@badp Well yes, but I don't see how that applies here.
14:14
@MadMAxJr Why do I want to make monster hunter go?
So I just pulled down the react quickstart repo off GitHub, and looked at the package.json file to see what it would install if I run npm install
The number of dependencies is... slightly worrying

Phone makes random boss beast sounds...
@PrivatePansy wait, why doesn't that assignment evaluate to packages?
I guess that's because it's a statement since it's also declaring the thing

Q: Value returned by the assignment

user10165Why does the regular assignment statement (say, x = 5) return the value assigned (5 in this case), while the assignment combined with a variable declaration (var x = 5) returns undefined? I got the return values by executing these statements in the Chrome browser's Javascript console: > var x ...

WELL CLEARLY YOU JUST HAVE USED THE VAR OR LET KEYWORD IN AN EXPRESSION CONTEXT
WE CALLED YOUR BULLSHIT FOR COMMENT, BUT RECEIVED NO IMMEDIATE RESPONSE
14:27
But doesn't var hoist in javascript?
> eval("var hoist_me_if_you_can = 2;")
undefined
> hoist_me_if_you_can
2
Play Bonetrousle whenever @badp starts ranting in all-caps mode.
6
How is that displaying hoisting?
it isn't
Then....
14:30
it's a use of var that can't be hoisted?
*Walks on seaside* "Welcome to Greece, your calls and messages will be rated over 5.9tl" FUCK
I should write a script that randomly injects NYEH HEH HEH messages from @badp
so of course since it can't hoist, it does not display hoisting
My point was that the answer said it was intended because you shouldn't assign inside an expression, because where would the scope be? But because you can hoist assigning inside an expression moves the assignment to the start of the block.
@Ronan wait what
14:32
@Ronan I don't think that's meaningful in an REPL
he says you shouldn't merely on readability grounds, not because of the scoping
@Ash is also Toriel so Heartache should play for her.
@user10165 They would have do define more rules and such for example, at what point in the expression is the variable useable. There aren't many use cases for it either, since you can do everything without it. — Paulpro Apr 16 '13 at 2:55
wat. no.
why would they?
wouldn't the only difference be that var x = (let y = 7) + 2; becomes a legal statement?
a legal expression, even.
I hope this doesn't end up costing a lot. Didn't message or call and Roaming was disabled but still Vodafone will prob insert some more costs

RIDDLE ME THIS BATMAN, WHY IS @badp BLUE NOW
@Nzall pls

@twobugs How is it not?
@fredley Primaries.
@Unionhawk Yes, because leavers gonna leave
There is the whole "we vote for the people who vote for the people" aspect of primaries

15:27
and the whole "we don't use alternate vote" thing
dear world: please adopt alternate vote thx
Brexit means brexit

other than "I am in the dog party, if the cat party wants to send 4 candidates, that helps my party"

@GnomeSlice Not what he is asking
In fact I think the last few notable referendums in the UK have ended in a vote of "No"
technically
since this was "Y/N: UK should be in EU"
Lies are great for winning referendums
@Unionhawk That was to be the original question on the ballot paper, but research discovered most people did not know whether or not the UK was in the EU to begin with.
@GnomeSlice It's about a type of symmetric view where the map appears oriented the same from either side, as far as I can tell
I read it
15:30
@fredley Oh so it ended up being leave remain?
It's probably fine
@fredley As far as I can tell, that says #1 It's the same as FPTP, #2 It's not FPTP, #2 It's different to FPTP.
