Pokemon Go (ios and android) - TEAM ROCKET

What's bad about the gym update? Instead of 1 pokemon vs 6, you can now bring 6 and level up higher. What's bad about that?




What they also need to do is that if the gym has 1 pokemon guarding it, you can only use 1 pokemon against it. If 2, can use 2 and so on, (IMHO).

Bring 6 mons instead of 1 is better but having to adjust the levels because you aren't on par with the gym your tryna take down? Cmon now, that's the whole point, in the game if you weren't strong enough to beat the trainers in the gym let alone the gym you would have to go train and level up your Pokémon, so if you are a lower level or have weaker mons then the gym, go out and train, level up.

Idk if someone ppl are confused or not.......but the new gym thing only applies to your own teams gyms, not gyms your tryna take down

 

[crystalmethod]

that glitch where if you have seen a pokemon but you see it in the gym **** is ******* stupid

Idk why ppl are upset about this....thats how its always worked in every pokemon game

Last week I finally upgraded from a Samsung Galaxy S3 (!!!) to an S5. Now I actually have a phone that meets the minimum requirements of the game

 so the app isn't constantly crashing anytime there's anything RAM-heavy going on. The struggle was real, but it's finally over... 

Over the weekend I headed back to campus for a football game. The drive is over an hour each way, so I figured I should use an Incense while I'm driving along bored on the highway (stable traffic, no big deal). In 30 minutes, I saw 29 mons (which is the most that can practically spawn), but caught... none! 

  Obviously plenty were rats and birds, but even still, I'd say I tapped on close to half of the mons that spawned. But, when I'd try to catch them, all of them broke out after 1 or 2 shakes, and instantly ran. I never got a chance to throw another ball at any of them. And the first one I even used a berry on, but decided not to waste them after that.

So, I wanna know: do long distances traveled past original spawn point cause a mon to auto-run? In the past day or two since then, maybe 10-20% have run in the city, as opposed to 100% when I was driving at highway speed, so it's definitely not my catching technique.

Different subject, but I've also noticed that switching from wifi over to 4G only when you drive out of wifi range is one thing that causes the dreaded "Error" message (and randomly disappearing mon). Hate it when that happens...

No radar plus cold weather approaching. Not going to see me walking aimlessly for some Pokemon.

No thanks, Jeff.

Yeah you got soft banned that's why you couldn't catch anything. Game doesn't let you catch any Pokémon while driving fast lol

Hey may have gotten softbanned or he is just to far from the Pokémon, go to 6:50 and it will be explained

Nest moved before I could take advantage of squirtle nest. Now it's a diglett nest smh

I don't think it was a soft ban, I think it is just a speed limit Niantic has engrained in the game, especially on incense-spawned pokemon. There are several Reddit discussions on it that I've found since my original post. There didn't seem to be any effect on my account besides 100% of those mons fleeing when I was driving at 70+ mph. #neveragain

With that in mind, Incense and Lures are such a waste for me. I'm never in a good position to use them. Wish I could sell them for coins in the shop

I think it may be as simple as this:

Mons spawned from Incense specifically might not be allowed out of the detection radius from their spawn point before they start auto-fleeing. At highway speed this happens very quickly.

I also noticed that once I passed out of their detection area I also couldn't tap on them to begin an encounter, even if they were still shown on the screen. I tapped a bulbasaur multiple times and it wouldn't start the capture attempt screen, while others that I tapped when I was close by came up right away (though obviously they all ended up running). The bulbasaur stayed on my map for a LONG *** time- it was still showing as a dot in the distance half a mile away

Right?! Did they really not think this through? This company is made up of some clowns for real.

130th mon registered to the Pokémon index


View media item 2195910

 

[luong1209]

Since Pokemon you've seen at the gym now counts as a pokemon seen, but not registered to the Pokedex...I'm gonna be a douchebag and put my Farfetch'd there .

 

[PrisonerofDoom83]

So there is no underground scanner you guys have dug up

 

[menyphazes]

Just missed another dragonite  

Popped up as third on the tracker, then first, then it was gone. 

Walked back a few feet, back to first on the tracker.

but nothing on my screen.... i got 2 of 6 with dragonites

I am slowly not playing as much as I use to.  

 

[atdizzle]

so i open my pokemon go app today and......what in the hell is this bs? those fools at niantic just conveniently forgot to mention this in their update notes eh?

 

[kimterran]

That's what they've been doing to prevent those map scanners

 

[rrickrude]

map scanners will be back up by the weekend supposedly.

Kind of liking this new +points for catch rate. I notice fewer mons bouncing.

Don't like this new team level up gym system. This only welcomes more level 10 gyms and really kills the gameplay. They should give more of a reward for taking down gyms.

Can you explain this points thing to me? Just like with everything else, they don't tell you in any way what it actually does

 

[BrandNewWithTags]

Apparently a lot of shady map scanners that ask for your logins are using your account to scan for pokemon. Best bet is to change your PW and prevent it from happening and  getting your acct banned.
