Im gon' be heated if that happens when I use the legendary bird master ball

Should maybe throw a pokeball where it doesn't hit the pokemon as a tester (it wont run if it doesn't try to capture) then use the masterball.

Anyone also experience that BS where you barely flip it (for cateripies, weedles, and pidgeys) and it goes to the other side of town?


Really trying to get us to buy pokeballs.

Yeah

You gotta wait for them to settle down after they finish attacking.

Bruh I got a secret stash of pokeballs behind the trees back there from doing this so often 

I'm pretty sure the secret is to give it a second before tossing a ball cuz I noticed this usually happens when I try to throw one as soon as the mon pops up on screen. Might be Niantic's way of counteracting the easy "nice" "great" "excellent" throw you used to be able to do if you just rapidly swiped away at the screen before the mon even popped up.

Unintentional curveballs are the worst. I came across a CP??? Snorlax today, and I had 5 Ultra Balls, and some Great and Poke Balls. All 5 Ultra Balls missed, either to the right or left, just barely to one side or the other (I was swiping straight up and down). Fortunately I caught it with the first Great Ball. I was convinced it was gonna run. 

 

Game's got me making a Nick Young face when it gives me a curveball bonus when I throw it straight, or it doesn't give me a bonus when I very obviously throw it curved...

This isn't even the confirmed way to get them

Who excited for region 2 Pokemon? Can't wait to get Typhlosion

Also I know my Pokemon up to X and Y lol

 

[luong1209]

Am I the only one that likes the original only? But I guess it's good to have new excitement of new Pokemon.




I did however, capture my 5th Snorlax today .

I am down for 2nd gen

Anything beyond that is eh..

 

[HankHill]

2nd gen was probably my favorite just off of gameplay. It introduced new Pokemon and (pre)evolutions of 1st gen Pokemon. We got Pokemon breeding and egg hatching, new poke balls, and Pokemon and events happening at specific dates/time.

Plus I'd rather have an Ubreon or Espeon than a Vaporeon.

Also the first games that you got to visit two regions. Gold, Silver, and Crystal were ahead of it's time.

For some reason a bunch of commons ALWAYS spawns simultaneously at my local mall; right between the Nike Outlet and Target lol

Agree with all of this. 2nd gen made improvements to what we had in RBY without changing the (perfect) feel of the game. While going back to Kanto was basically a bonus, I do wish that that later part of the game didn't feel so rushed/underdeveloped... I dunno if storage capacity in the cartridge had anything to do with Kanto not being as fleshed-out as it was in RBY?

I never bothered with any of the games past GSC, but still have my 1st & 2nd-gen cartridges

There's a spot like that in my town between Applebee's and Starbucks... never go there except to hunt for pokemon coming back from the gym at 10pm 

 Since spawn points were apparently determined in part by cell phone density, it makes sense that popular businesses would have more mons popping up there.

Word I hit up the Nike Outlet pretty frequently before or after going to the gym cause it's literally down the road couple minutes away. Always got that $5 survey coupon on hand lol

And y'all got me wanting to play my old Pokemon games. Growing up my brother and I always had our own game so together we have every game from Red-Ruby. I didn't get a DS when it first came out so I stopped at Diamond/Pearl. Picked back up when X/Y came out and I've been messing around in Alpha Sapphire. Def copping Moon in a couple months.


I've heard Heart Gold/Soul Silver are the G.O.A.T. Pokémon games. Might have to stop by GameStop today and buy it for the low lol

 

[kvsm23vs24]

I'm buying Sun graphics are too nice.

I also suggest y'all collect your zubats. After golbat he evolves to crobat

Word. I'm mad I only got 1 Scyther. Scizor bad as hell.

I wonder how they'll deal with split evolution trees (i.e. Poliwrath vs. Politoed). Hopefully it's not just random like Eevee.

I saw my first Ivysaur last night! It ran of course...

Like other fast pokemon, crobat will probably be screwed by the fact that there is no speed stat in this game 

  At least his other stats should be fairly balanced.

Where do you find Clefairy? I can't find them anywhere.

I encounter them pretty randomly but they're not too uncommon by me. I've probably caught around 30. Sometimes they'll spawn by my house. Other times while I'm walking around. Haven't run into a consistent spawn yet.

Speaking of Scizor... I just hatched another one of these... Was hoping for a Hitmonlee, Kabuto, or an Omanyte.
