Everyone who is beeing frustrated with Pokémon Go should try Ingress. I really loved Pokémon Go for the first two days. Then I read a post on Reddit how you could use the Ingress map to see, where there are a lot of Pokémon spawning.

I never went back to PoGo. Ingress is such an amazing game if you are into walking around and visiting cool places, that you would have never seen before. And it has actual gameplay apart from endlessly throwing Pokéballs. Download it and be amazed.

At first I welcomed the influx of people at the park where I walk my dog. But now everyone looks like zombies with their eyes glued to their phones with total lack of public etiquette as they walk wanderlessly around.

It's great that people are out and activr, I'm not against that. But please also apply common sense when playing on your mobile phone in public.

Level 13 currently, having a lot of fun playing at random times with my girl. We used to run around a nearby lake each night, but since there are 10 pokestops around it is too crowded to run lol, so we just walk around doing the zombie poke walk.

The college strip near us is extremely packed too, lots of great way to meet girls if I was single lol.

Everyone knows about that stupid fad called "planking", where you just randomly lay down on weird things. Well, I'm coining the fad "blanking", where you walk or stand around like a zombie because you're too preoccupied with the Pokemon on your phone.

It's probably as fun as Pokemon living in a rural area, right?

Sounds like typical smartphone usage to me.

Common sense says yes. Name one smart phone game or app that requires you swipe across something to make it spin to use it?

You mean besides the poke balls in the very same game?

It simulates a throwing motion....poorly but that's what the pokeball swipe is meant to do. To collect items just clicking/tapping is the norm

lol sure. I would have thought that after the first poke stop or so when you just click the blue icon that pops up- and nothing happens at all- you would try something else ::shrugs:: Dragging/ moving your finger across the screen to make something happen is in a ton of popular games and apps, like fruit ninja, unblock me, some versions of candy crush and the spin-offs, pretty much every Nintendo DS/ touchscreen game, etc. Not everything is just tapping.

So I can't try it till next week but is there any point into that?

Like can't you just check the map occasionally then stop to catch a pokemon and move on rather than walking with your face on the screen? Or am I missing something.

with the tracker broken, you have to pay attention to the phone more than you should. however, there is no reason why people cant be safe and courteous in the way they play the game. when you stop to catch a pokemon, step off the path, and pay attention to where you're going. its not rocket science, but unfortunately people with smartphones tends to be a bad combination and this has little to do with pokemon go, its an old phenomenon.

Playing this game in Manhattan is ridiculous. There are 3-5 pokestops on every block. I have found that I can catch 5-10 pokemon and visit 4 pokestops on my morning commute since the bus here is slow enough and the subway is above ground so I can potentially catch things at each stop.

There is a 2048 CP Dragonite guarding one of the gyms in the Bronx. What's the highest CP can go?

i know the tracker is bugged right now but i dont see why that would cause an articuno to falsely show up.
i also cant think of any other pokemon the silhouette could possibly be, since i already have pidgeotto which imo is the only other pokemon that i could get it confused with.
silhouette was a bird that was spreading its wings and had a tail/long hair.
any other pokemon it could have been?
could have been pidgeot also but judging from google images i dont think it looked like pidgeot either


Probably Fearow? :

I doubt it was Articuno, since that will probably come as an event. However, as long as you don't have an screenshot of the creature, we can't know for sure.

nope not fearow.
i didnt think to take a screenshot though so i guess well never know

also if youre playing the game for competitive reasons or for 'bonding' reasons, youre playing the wrong pokemon game. i think the developers have done a great job in differentiating this game from the original nintendo games by making the exploration aspect the key feature.
people play this game just to catch as many different pokemon as they can. if you find a rare pokemon thats great. if you find a rare pokemon and it has massive cp its an even bigger bonus. but the main draw from this game is still the fact that you want to try to 'catch them all'


this one then ? Keep on trying

Want goals? Play Super Mario.

I agree here. Running into other people playing the game (especially in smaller towns) is fun. Also, chasing pokestops might lead you to landmarks and such that you might have missed otherwise. For example, my first pokestop was a funny sign for a tire-shop
