Q: in pokemon go, if you increase your player lvl, does the max cp of your pokemons increase?

Alvaro Gomezfor example lets say I am lvl 5 and catch a pidgey with a max cp of 150, and then lvl up to 10, does that pidgey i had previously captured will have a higher max cp now? or only the new ones I capture at lvl 10 have a higher max CP??

Q: Pokémon Go: types vs locations found?

Foo BarVarious reports claim that Pokemon are more likely to be found in their appropriate environments, such as water types near water. Is this true, or is it just observation bias with pseudo-random placement? If true, what are the preferred places to find each type? (Bug, Dark, Dragon, Electric, Fa...

 
@himarm the shaking the phone trick doesn't work on the highway at high speeds. Not sure about lower speeds yet.

Q: Pokemon Go: "GPS not found", "failed to detect location"?

M. WarwavesynNotes: This all happened after I caught my starter. Pokemon Go has all permissions. Currently in Japan. When I start Pokemon Go, at the time the Gyarados loading screen comes up an error message saying "GPS not found" shows up. When the game starts, the streets spawn and I can walk around them i...

 
Wondering today which of the shows will be the first to cleverly use a Pokemon Go reference in a script.
 
Dear servers; if you are going to crash, KICK ME OUT OF THE GAME. I just spent half an hour walking around fruitlessly.
 
Was anything updating?
No signs of anything is a good indicator it's hosed
 
I don't care if the servers crash, but because everything seems to require constant connection to servers; when they foobar you have almost no indication anything is wrong until you try to interact. I was mostly walking around for half an hour trying to get the last 300m for an egg to hatch so I could level up. I had no indication nothing was working, my avatar continued to (mostly) keep up with my location, but the egg was not hatching.
wait... just got back in; egg is missing, have a new jigglypuff, didn't get XP. god damnit.
Or did I get XP? hmm... the abbra I hatched before gave me 1k, but maybe jigglypuff doesnt?

Q: Pokemon Go won't let me click on the pokemon to capture it?

Miranda StrateI have found like 3 pokemon out in the wild I have wanted to catch and I try to tap them but it doesn't do anything! Then they run away after a certain period of time! I do have my location on and have wifi! I need help to catch em all!

 
user132126
@PokéFeed FFS, that's bad.
 
user132126
@TrentHawkins OMG, you have the SuperCarrot?!
 
user132126
No one else I talk to every remembers or knows Tyrian.
 
@CreationEdge Now I must update the number of stack exchange users who recognize the SuperCarrot: 3
 
user132126
You know what else is awesome in Go? That when it says says "Unable to find GPS location" it blocks you from accessing the "Settings" button, so you can't sign out when there's cloud coverage.
 
user132126
1:54 AM
@TrentHawkins I've spent so many hours in Tyrian/2k
 
@CreationEdge As have I. Originally got Tyrian through my dad's workplace sneakernet.
 
user132126
My grandmother had it on an old acer, but it was just the demo
 
user132126
But I finally got it after a few years when I found it on the-underdogs

Yeah, I have OpenTyrian on my phone. Controls are meh, but it kinda works.

I can't use the finger control, which is most response, because my finger blocks the screen.

I just found the Tyrian Forever FB group run by Jason :O
 
user132126
Tyrian is still one of the best games I've ever played, and I can go back and replay it and still enjoy the gameplay, music and visuals.
 
@CreationEdge A friend once introduced me to Jets 'n' Guns (Gold) it's side-scrolling rather than top, but is heavily influenced by Tyrian.
I think it's on steam now.
 
user132126
OMG I've been pronouncing Tyrian wrong all these years.
 
catching those pokemon
 
user132126
2:13 AM
It does seem very similar. I may have to try that out. Very few games have been close to what Tyrian was.
 
user132126
I've tried a bunch of space shmups, but they tend have limited weapon mechanics. Get an orb, get the power. Get another, it powers up. Get a different orb, new weapon and starts at 0 power.

Even though I'm in Australia, where Pokemon Go is supposed to be released, I can't find it. I've also attempted a direct...

Q: My Pokemon that I've caught only show in my journal and not in my Pokemon folder

KylieI've recently downloaded Pokemon go and I've caught a few but they only show when I caught them in my journal and not in the Pokemon folder where it names all the Pokemon that you've caught why is this???

 
3:10 AM
 
3:43 AM
@Himarm you realize "going to the gym" means exercising, not just catching/battling pokemon, right?
 
I lifted so much last time i went i got stretch marks on my bicepts. Most depressing moment of my life
 
user132126
If I got my muscle back I'd be okay with stretch marks on my arms.

Q: How to save battery while playing Pokemon GO?

AequitasPokemon GO uses an insane amount of battery, I have to constantly carry my battery bank around. I've tried the battery saver mode but it does not seem to have any impact. What can I do to improve my battery life while playing Pokemon GO?

Q: Which pokemon should I invest my candy in?

diegoSay I have 2 different stages of the same evolution line, with different CP percentages. How should I decide which one is a better one to invest in? Is it always the more evolved one? The less evolved one? Or does it depend on the specific pokemon? Some examples from my lineup, with CP total and...

E. SundinIt looks to me that the encountered pokemons CP is based samewhat of the trainers level. Is this the case and are there any data on what trainer level corresponds to what ranges? I've been saving up all the stardust I've ever gotten because the investment seems risky if at the next level the CP ...

Q: What's the maximum trainer level?

Dan BIn Pokemon Go, what's the maximum trainer level? I'm level 20, which is the highest level that is listed on this page: http://www.serebii.net/pokemongo/trainer.shtml but I've seen people in my area who are level 21.

0
Q: What are the best pokemon?

Dan BIn Pokemon Go, what are the best pokemon? (ie, the pokemon with the highest CP after evolving and spending stardust) The best I've found so far are Eevee evolutions. What's better than that?

Q: Can I determine the quality of an egg before picking it up?

AlokI'd prefer a way to discard eggs that are 2km or 5km (so I can collect higher level 10km ones, for rarer pokemon). But since that is not possible currently, is there a way to identify the quality of an egg before collecting it from the pokestop?

 
7:07 AM
Finally made a Pidgeot
Those pidgey were not that waste

Q: What kind of environment spawns the various starter pokemon?

AlokI chose Squirtle as my starter, but actually did so to make it easier to capture Charmanders (as I expected that we needed to battle the wild pokemon). Other than my starter, I haven't seen any of the 3 starter pokemon at all. I read about Pokemon being more likely to appear based on environment...

Q: When does a Pokemon get knocked out?

AlokI have plenty of Revives that would instantly heal a pokemon to half health. However, whenever I lose a fight, the pokemon will go down to 1HP and I have to use multiple potions to heal it instead. What situations would lead to a 'knock out' and getting to use Revive instead? Is there a controll...

Q: Pokemon GO missing google sign up option

PinkPandaRecently I downloaded Pokemon GO but when I try to sign up with google account,the option isn't there. Help please. I use a LG G2 mini

 
At what level does it become worth evolving 'mon? I've noticed that as my trainer level increases, the level of the Pokemon I can catch increases too, which means I'm not catching Pidgey's stronger than my evolved Pidgeotto.

Q: Are Pokemon from eggs better in any way?

Westside TonyI'm wandering if like one Pokemon you evolved has a higher cp cap than an already evolved, will be a Pokemon from an egg's cp also higher?

 
I want fearow, anyway my max pokemon is 361 and gym have 500+ guard pokemons. So no chance to get any gym now
 
@AnkitSharma I have a Fearow.
 
Is it not kind of red team's pokemon
give it to me else i will throw DVD of BvS on you
 
@AnkitSharma I'd welcome a copy of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, we all need a good laugh from time to time.
 
Cover have pointy edges
 
8:43 AM
@AnkitSharma The entire film is nothing but edge, so that doesn't surprise me.
 
8:58 AM
haha looks like all the Mos Eisley folks are into Pokemon Go too :D
 
@DrRDizzle k then i will throw some green lantern DVD's
@Dawny33 This room was created with agents of nothing chatroom users and then few arqade user joined
 
Guys, so how many Pokeballs would you get at a Pokestop?
 
I got 3 max
but soem time 2 and 1 too when i gto otehr stuff
 
@AnkitSharma Would get atleast 1, no?
I wasted all mine on a stupid Zubat
 
> Most often, a PokeStop will grant you three to four items at a time. Until you're level 5, PokeStops will grant you exclusively PokeBalls and Pokemon Eggs. Once you reach level 5, at times PokeStops will generate up to six PokeBalls, and other items such as Revives and Potions to use now that your trainer can access Gyms and battle other Pokemon.
 
9:02 AM
@AnkitSharma Yay. I'm lvl-5
 
i didn't got that yet
have 4 egg but all 5 KM ones and can incubate 2 at a time only :(
I am still not convinced with @KutuluMike's circle rule for calculating pokemon direction from number of steps.
 
Oh no! I'm out of pokeballs. I didn't know that a pokeball once thrown cannot return back after a failed throw.
So, I kept throwing it at the zubat like stripper money :'(

Q: Gender labels on trainer badges in Pokémon Go

me_andThe badges that appear in Pokémon Go – "Jogger", "Kanto", "Collector", &c. – have gendered labels for some of them, notably (on my account) "Battle Girl", "Punk Girl" and "Fairy Tale Girl". Does everyone get "Girl", or does the game give some people "Boy" or similar instead? If different people ...

 
go to a pokestop after every 5 minutes ;p
Stupid pikachu,....so far
 
9:06 AM
@AnkitSharma You've got a Pikachu? :o
 
I want one.
A Pikachu, I mean.
 
@Dawny33 no, i am not going to leave office for pikachu, he is 3 step away and GPS sucks to evaluate right direction
I had lots of dumb ratata, professor will be angry on me for sending so many ratara for the candies which i don't even want
Ohh so i need 2km egg for pickachu

Lol what is this?
I have a hitmonchan at 3 steps

@Dawny33 I need 4g to properly get this steps
@Dawny33 i don't have to walk that much.

yes

9:59 AM
@Loong Great!
 
user116211
@Loong ah, Kabutops!! Where did you get that?
 
@MAFIA36790 I think, it was a random encounter. I did not evolve it myself.
@AnkitSharma I found a Tauros in a 5 km egg. And also two other pokémons that I already had.
 
@Loong Your level, master? :D
 
user116211
Has anyone got Jigglypuff ;P

10:16 AM
What if gym is owned by the same team which you’re in?

What happens then?
@Loong Why you no catch Ninetales?
 
@Dawny33 help them , place your pokemon as helping hand
 
@AnkitSharma What if they don't want mine? :P
How many can one gym have?
 
@Dawny33 hm, I didn't see any Ninetales. I think, I saw a Vulpix, but I didn't get it – probaly a server error again.
@Dawny33 that depends on the gym level
 
@Loong Yeah Vulpix :)
So, would there be a Gym is full GTFO notification? :P
 
@Dawny33 If a friendly gym is full, you can still train one of your pokémons; i.e. fight for some experience points and get a few points to increase the level of the gym.

Q: Is there a way to get more candies in Pokemon Go?

demirbCatching pokemon, transfering, hatching egg all brings candies. Are there other ways to increase the candy amount? For example if I use my lucky egg, would I be able get 2x candies from transferring?

 
11:29 AM
Level 11, baby.
 
grrrr......
flying DVD reaching shortly
 
Pokemon GO: Gotta catch 'em all!... that are within a few feet of my desk!
 
My office in middle of four gyms 2 blue and two red and nothing changing anymore. There is one yellow far from them
 
My bag is constantly full thanks to how many Pokestops are in range of my desk.
I've had to start tossing Revives just in order to get more items I actually want.
 
11:47 AM
The random encounters really improve when you level up. I found a wild Raticate with 500 cp today.
 
@Loong What level are you?
 
@DrRDizzle that was at level 13; I am level 14 now.
 
@Loong I'm level 11, and the highest I'm seeing is mid 200's (ish)
 
This chatroom should be moved over to Arqade.

@NapoleonWilson Why? Pokemon is most certainly science fiction/fantasy.
 
11:50 AM
@DrRDizzle Yeah, so don't evolve or power-up so much if you don't want to fight in a gym right now.
 
@Loong Yeah, I thought as much. Frustrating, really.
 
@DrRDizzle As much as I can see it's a solely gameplay-driven discussion, though.
 
Does anyone else just catch a shit ton of Drowzees? They are everywhere.
@NapoleonWilson That doesn't make it less on topic here. We are still talking about a work relating to an IP that is firmly science fiction/fantasy.
 
user116211
@DrRDizzle They are the most common ones.
 
Arqade doesn't want us.
 
11:52 AM
@MAFIA36790 It's weird, I never thought of Drowzee as particularly common in the main games.
 
Weird. Haven't seen one Drowzee yet :(
 
@KutuluMike This room is far too cool for Arqade anyway.
 
user116211
@DrRDizzle Well you need to have stones to evolve Eevee; this is not the case in the game AFAIK.
 
@MAFIA36790 that's different from region to region
 
@DrRDizzle Drowzie are very rare in the show. Remember the episode with one on top of a building? :D
 
11:54 AM
Eevee's evolution in POGO is random.
 
@MAFIA36790 True, but that's something I really hope changes soon. I'd love to have a proper battle system, or be able to trade etc.
@Dawny33 I'm OG man, I barely watched the show. It was all about the games for me.
 
@KutuluMike Eevee in POGO? :/
 
user116211
I only remember seeing Drowzee in a Team Rocket assignment.
 
I can see myself playing Pokemon GO for some years if they a) update the list of available Pokemon every few months/half a year and b) give us a proper battle system.
This is a good proof of concept, but at the moment, that's all it is.
 
^ True that :)
 
11:57 AM
AFAIK Ingress didn't change at all from the time Niantic bought it... I wouldn't expect them to start now.
 
@KutuluMike Ingress didn't have more active users than Twitter though.
 
user116211
@KutuluMike Oh, that game was also not released for Windows ;(
 
@MAFIA36790 I'd completely give up on the idea that any app will ever be released on Windows.
 
that's what you get for buying a Windows phone.
though, TBF, I can't see how porting from iPhone to Android is any easier than porting from iPhone to Windows Store
But it's another case of Niantec being lazy.
Google wrote the core engine before Windows Phone was a thing.
these days you could probably use Xamarin to write 90% of this
and get immediate cross-platform support; there's even cross-platform maps and gps libraries
 
that moment when you blow 10 pokeballs on a 12 cp weedle

Q: Pokémon go Pokémon attack

F8iCan I change my Pokémon attack or it is just random, and if it have high attack moves when the Pokémon evolved do they have higher chance to get powerful moves

 
just hit level 12 got my great balls
great balls were a joke in the pokemon games
arnt they like .001% better
 
i saw a jigglypuff in the wild
too far from where i was though

i was double fisting a clarfary

and i cought my wifes and lost mine
i was upset
amazon firestick onsale, i needed another
just made my 3rd pidgeot
 
I am mainly looking for wild Magikarp. I want to evolve that thing, but that takes 400 candies.
 
youll probably find one in the wild first
 
@Himarm Mind sharing your pokemon collection? ;)
 
12:26 PM
hmpf, I lost all my pokéballs to a Butterfree with 483 cp. I hit it five times, but it always escaped.
 
Just got my first Eevee.
I caught a Likitung yesterday, but server issues made him disappear :(
 
and lost all new pokéballs again to a Slowbro with 818 cp. I guess, I should avoid such high-level encounters.
 
@Loong You gotta Razz Berry them first
 
i havent found any berries yet
 
@DrRDizzle no, not a single one. Here pidgey, ratata and Sandshrew are common ones
 
12:38 PM
had one pokemon run away. it was just a rattata. good riddance.
"sadshrew" is the best typo
 
@Dawny33 same here
 
@DrRDizzle I usually do that.
 
I need just 2 more Sandshrew i think for upgrade
 
sandslash is cute
 
@KutuluMike So all those 6/7 transformation or the basic 3?
 
12:41 PM
i never use them but i like how cute they are
i almost have enough evies to evolve number 2
number 1 was a jolteon
 
@DrRDizzle well said.
@Himarm So they only have 3 basic transformation or all of them?
 
ive seen the fire one, and the water one
never the dark, or psychic one
 
pretty certain it's just the original 3
it's only gen1 pokemon righ tnow
 
@KutuluMike I think there are some issues with windows , there T & C is bit weird if i am not wrong
 
is there a grass one too?
i cant remeber all the evies
 
12:44 PM
@Himarm I am better then that
 
oh wow they added ice grass and fairy
 
@DrRDizzle i think drowzee is more common in UK, all UK youtuber have them
 
ive been getting drowzies
 
I've seen a drowzee
 
i saw a hypno while driving but didnt stop
 
12:46 PM
@DrRDizzle I have 2 100+lvl
 
@Himarm welcome to like 10 years ago
 
ha, since I have no pokéballs left, I killed a red gym instead.
 
I don't have any berries and left with only two pokeballs, pokestop gave me not needed stuff
 
what game are the from
gold and silver added dark and psychic
i guess the advanced generation?
 
@Loong too cruel and bad. Kill blue one ;p
 
12:48 PM
i never played those 2
 
iirc glaceon and leafeon were diamond/pearl, and sylveon was x/y
i get the games mixed up a lot
 
So how many of us are red and how many of us are blue?
 
cool people r blue
like me
 
dizzle is blue, theory disprove
 
@AnkitSharma Ugh, I'd love a Sandshrew.
@AnkitSharma Everything I say is well siad.

Anyway, I thought of a joke earlier, but I wanted more people to be in this room before I said it. So here goes.
 
I hope your joke don't make me throw DVDs on you
 
If Niantic don't update Pokemon Go to include a proper battle system, we should rename this room to Lavender Town, because it's going to be a graveyard soon.
