Me and 3 friends all just got the update. Midwest US.

I chose Bulbasaur since I'm one candy from evolving my high IV to an Ivysaur. Probably switch to Magikarp after that to help with the grind plus its 1km a candy which is nice.

Has he perhaps spent more money on the game? :d

I always get my updates pretty late it feels like, still waiting for this one too.

I hope I get it releases sometime tonight (Swedish time) since I plan on taking a longer walk around Stockholm tomorrow playing this game

Just as I say that I get the update

Choose my Pikachu as my buddy.

Just got the update. Auto update from the phone. I can no longer play the game since I had to root and install a custom ROM just to be able to play the game, with an only 3 years old phone that stopped getting Android updates after maybe 1 year just before the 4.4 version needed.
I'm not even mad at Niantic if their decision actually comes to have an impact on the plague that is cheaters. But the piece of crap of Android manufacturers on the other hand...

There seems to be a work-around so I'll try that until I get a real phone.

Oh so the distance is different depending on the pokemon, nice!

Notable ones are Jigglypuff & Clefiary who are both pretty good fighting pokemon but give candy at 1km intervals. They're definitely good buddies if you haven't evolved a strong one yet.

This system is really going to help me out, Geodudes are really rare around me (I've gotten more Dratini's than Geodudes). Finally gives me a good way to get a golem.

They're just brutally rare in general I think?

Grimer's and Porgyons seem like they don't really have a common biome and just spawn very rarely over large areas.

Today I found a 100% IV collosal female nidoran, is it worth making a nidoqueen or should I just delete him?

Nidoqueen it, and if the moveset is good, then pump it up. I'm lvl 30 and still haven't even gotten a single nidoran with >80% IVs. It's like they're all inbred or something.

I have 1100+ poliwag and 500+ slowpoke candies, but haven't found a single 80+ IV yet. I think it's obvious I'm farming inside a nest so the IV's are limited, but I seriously want to make a poliwrath and slowbro.

Anyways I was going to do another mass evolve today, but I decided to hold off. I'm on iphone 5 so I cant do the evolve -> close app trick, meaning I only get about 60-70 evolves. But I'm getting a new phone in a few weeks so I expect I can do 130+ on that, so I think I'll hold off until then. The reason is I want to play without spending any real money, so all my lucky eggs come from gym coins, meaning they're super rare to me. Hopefully what I'm doing makes sense.

Also I evolved my second dragonite today! He ended up getting dragon breath/dragon claw which seems to quite good for attacking, so I maxed him out:

There is something strange with how the game measures distance. Because the distance I have measured with Google Fitness is 9km today but PoGo has only measured 6 km.

it's long been known that the distance tracker for PoGo sucks. the latest update is supposed to have improved it a lot, but depending on factors like how many turns u take, gps coverage etc... u can lose up to 50% of ur distance travelled

I've heard device GPS may play a role. With my iPhone 6S I get almost perfect tracking. Each morning/evening I walk or cycle 600 meters to work (not a straight line), and my app will count the full 600 meters if I go by foot, 400-500 when I cycle.

The client pushes your location to the cloud every minute, then every ~4 minutes the servers calculate the distance between these points (in a straight line) and updates your app accordingly. Clearly some meters will be lost if you're not walking in a straight line, but updates every minute ensure this should not be a big loss.

Not sure why Google Fitness tracks 3 km more, obvs it uses the same GPS. Were you running in small circles?

Edit: Speed limit is roughly 10,5 km/h as well, so if you were jogging it won't have counted everything.
