that's pretty incredible.

Edit: Wait, actually that's not that incredible. It still can't attack Steel-types with poison. Can only toxic them. Though it does mean that if this salamander shows up, you can't switch into steel / poison to avoid the toxic. Useful.

Some things change, some don't.

How goes the Go shenanigans, Furtuka?

I wonder what'll happen if it tries to poison Zangoose. Probably nothing, since Antidote not only prevents poison, it cures it(in case the prevention is bypassed, such as with Mold Breaker, or the ability is added after poisoning).

Blurg. Just went on a four-hour walk; I would have biked if it wasn't for Pokemon Go. Half an hour in and the servers crash :l

By the way, something that took me a while to notice is that Mons have varied movesets that don't change when you evolve them, so before dumping all of your low CR duplicates check their movepools. My Pidgeot has Steel Wing/Twister, which wouldn't be all that bad if Twister only had a BP of 15...

Does Go work on iPods? I don't have a phone but I have a hand-me-down iPod 4 from when my sister upgraded to a phone.

It's either that or it's a Toxic Boost Zangoose, in which case you just made it 2x stronger.

The App Store says that it's compatible with an iPod. It does require iOS 8.0 or higher, so you still might not be able to use it depending on the age of your iPod.

Alright, thanks.

Well my friends and I wound up running into each other on accident because we were all stalking the same gym at once. We had all already made an agreement to go Red team at that point though. We then went Squirtle hunting and got caught in the rain for 20 minutes under a tree. It was fun. Quite genuinely.

Also it was amusing claiming an unclaimed gym at a local conservation center and then spying two guys wearing state university t-shirts wandering in the way I came while staring at their phones.

I'm really looking forward to the nerds in the wild.  Areas like gyms and the far-between stops are going to be small flocking grounds.  I work delivery at my local university, I'm gonna go get some chalk and practice drawing the red logo on sidewalks nearby popular gyms.

EDIT: For all your 'should I go hiking right now' needs...

My hour-long commute home from work is no longer entirely useless.

If you played Ingress, you probably noticed that the game doesn't track your movements if you're traveling at car speeds. That carries over to Go as well. Handy for me, however, as a good 3-4 miles of my commute are sub-20km/h due to rush hour. Stick an egg in the incubator, drive home with your phone on and sitting in a cup holder, greet your new Pokemon when you arrive.

Granted I didn't get to try out my scheme today due to server shenanigans.

I sideloaded the app since it's not out in Canada.

After about an hour it became pretty clear I was not the target audience. Also I think it has problems with the Z3C (or maybe the apk was outdated) as it keeps freezing and won't vibrate and things like that.

Anyway, my biggest issue with it is that it drains battery like nobody's business. Even with the power saving mode your battery will die so badly.

No, actually, my biggest issue was that some jerkwad stole my name. Who the fuck calls themselves Umiman other than me?!

Reasons why I'm not the target audience:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1. It's too simple
2. It's only gen 1
3. I drive everywhere, not walk
4. I need my phone's battery to be alive
5. The closest gym is an elementary school...
6. I loathe F2P things, just the sight of them makes me mad
7. I live in the suburbs, far from landmarks

[Aklyon]

While I'll assume its more complex, from my short look at it on my phone which is not near anything in particular, it appears to be more streetpass-like stuff that I can't even occasionally use because of the car issue/safety measure.

[Mephisto]

2. It's only gen 1

Gotta have some mons available before you can begin catching them all. There are, what, 500721+ at this point?

I've heard, but cannot confirm, that more may be coming.
