You must be sitting at 200 ultra balls then xD Throwing them at Pidgeys is stupid, but Squirtles totally deserve ultras. Unless you enjoy throwing at dark red circles. The starters + Pikachu have the lowest catch rate of basic pokemon, tied with Lapras/Snorlax/Aerodactyl/... If you still need Squirtle candy you better use that ultra ball. As for the API and 3rd parties no longer working, good riddance! Notice how they released the game in Brazil at the same time all this 3rd party shit stopped working. It's almost as if they wanted to get rid of the massive server strain before completing the rollout. Now they can continue to focus on the actual game. Unless the fuckers at PoGoDev bypass this in under a week, I'm confident the tracking fix will come out soon. | ||

Both Muk's had the same base capture rate. Your wife's one was harder to catch due to a higher pokemon level (indicated by significantly higher CP), yet she managed to capture it. That's dumb luck, what do you want to do about it? xD Use curveballs, aim inside the colored circle, pray for the best. That's how probability works. | ||

I have too much to do to play nonstop so there is no chance for me to get gyms unless I team up and get carried. So at leaat I can catch them all right? No fuck you you're gonna have to use 10 greatballs on a 70 oddish and then he's gonna run away. | ||

I'm assuming Gamefreak/Pokemon Company vetoed the possibility of using their battle system. It would hurt the sales of "the real games". | ||

My Pidgey capture rate has remained stable at 87-88%, the only thing I've noticed is increased jumping and attacking. | ||

That's dumb luck, what do you want to do about it? xD Use curveballs, aim inside the colored circle, pray for the best. That's how probability works. There's a ton of fixes... 1. Lower Escape Rates so pokemon may chew through balls, but they'll at least stick around to get caught 2. Make Green Circles almost a sure catch instead of the 80% they seem to be. Right now it's really a crapshoot even when you over use items on a guy. 3. Use PRNG or a scaling system so as you keep trying to catch the pokemon in an encounter they become easier to catch. That way by the 10th Ultraball you're throwing at some random pokemon they'll actually catch. 4. Increase % of pokeballs that are great & ultra. At least then it's not as bad when you throw 10 ultras at a guy who still escapes nor is it that big of a deal to use great or ultra balls on more common pokemon. 5. Give 1 or 2 candy as a consolation when a pokemon flees. At least then you can feel good about having found an interesting or rare pokemon even if it escapes from you and you can still collect up your pidgey candy even if they escape from you. | ||

I think Niantic said they only have about 10% of the features they want to have in the long run at this point. Don't you think it's still better than 99% of apps in the app store? | ||

There are literally millions of apps on the app store. Pokemon Go may be better than 99% of them, but it's not better than 99.999% of them. Not worth my time. | ||
