Pokemon seem to start out much weaker in the official Go release than they were in the beta. In the beta, virtually no freshly-caught pokemon had less than 100 CP (just a single caterpie in my experience). Now, they tend to be below 50 (even the evolved mons).

[smirk]

Just from a single day's experience, I think there's a rather higher chance of finding different and/or stronger mons nearer to gyms and stops. I had the same catch frequency everywhere, but away from landmarks it seemed to be mostly a pidgey/weedle wasteland. Maybe just my bad luck.

Also, a bike is really handy, but if you're going to use one make sure you stop before you attempt a capture. And keep at least one hand on the handlebars and watch where you're going so you don't accidentally bounce off a curb and run full speed into someone's tree, losing some skin and a fair amount of blood in the process. Uh... so I hear. From a friend O_0

Apparently someone found a dead body while playing this.
When questioned, she replied "I just wanted a water pokemon"

I wonder if this has any relation to Detective Pikachu...

Also crap like this happens.

I'm having good fun with Pokemon GO, it's fun playing with my brother even though he chose Team Instinct and I chose Team Valour.

This feels like a fake site, what with gorilla protests and ISIS claiming responsibility for Go's server problems.

[Girlinhat]

I went with Instinct because it's the least visible team in my area and I like a challenge.  Kinda regret it.  I'll just have to double up and claim some gyms.

Even still, it's only a matter of time before stuff like this starts happening whether that particular story was true or not.

So is this game going to be worth playing if you live out in the woods in the middle of nowhere? I've read a little about it and it sounds like you need to be around somewhere that has pokestops(?) and gyms?

From my limited use of it, it seems you fare a lot better near a place that has lots of things (malls, schools, libraries, etc.).

I've also noticed that pokemon tend to spawn near hiking trails, walking paths, and the sides of roads.

Apparently the type of pokemon you get also relies on what you're near such as water.

Like I mentioned before, the closest gym to me was an elementary school. I didn't see any pokestops or any other such thing. I live in the suburbs in Calgary, Canada.

I gather the gyms/stops seem to be based partially off Niantic's other game ingress which I actually play occasionally.  Being another canadian living in a really low population area I hope it's true since there's a rather large number of ingress points near me due to there being a lot of museums, statues, churchs, and memorials.

Does anyone else who can actually play pokemon go confirm whether or not it seems to line up at all (if you've also ever played ingress at least)?

[Greiger]

I just realized.  The pokemon games, they don't take place in an alternate world.   Oh no...  They are our FUTURE!

The technology is just starting, but a few generations from now bionic implants will be the norm, and every child will be implanted with a basic suite of bionic enhancements that includes pokemon go as default software.  The world's population will drastically decrease as people fall to the whims of darwin awards, walking into traffic, jumping over zoo fences....

Soon cars will become far less common.  After all Go doesn't really work while driving, big car companies will mostly go out of business and major roads and highways will eventually become overgrown from a combination of maintenance workers being too buzy playing pokemon go to fix them, and no cars being on the road anyway.  And real animals, having being found to be a threat to humans during our treks into the woods to find fake animals will largely be exterminated for public safety.

Soon people who realize that pokemon are not real and are only part of augmented reality will be the vast minority, and seen as mad and ostracized from society.  Wars will be fought with pokemon, as after all, for 'some reason' humans are unable to harm pokemon directly, but the tactile sense systems built into our bodies when we are young will let us feel the pokemon as if they are real, giving us the fear that they can harm us.

Soon we will have an entire world of pokemon.  A world where children are sent out into a world devoid of harmful life, but full of illusionary life.  And where nobody knows where pokemon eggs come from.  Simply because the game doesn't show anyone.

Confirming this. A lot of the map stuff was ripped directly from Ingress.

So: Don't hang around PokeStops after dark. Gun-type mons are strong against everything.

There's a movie on TV. Four boys are walking on railroad tracks. I better go too.
