The people I've seen (and walked around with) playing Go didn't have Pokevision, they simply relied on the radar saying "there's X and Y Pokemon nearby" and they walked as 4-5 trying to find it and calling out each other when they did. They didn't seem annoyed by it.
On the other hand Saturday I came across a guy on a scooter who parked right besides me. I assumed he was gonna ask for directions but instead he looked below him and I noticed the plastic harness he was wearing with a support on his chest to hold his smartphone. So he drove right there, stopped, looked at the smartphone strapped on his chest and tapped it a bit, then he started off again.
I knew about dumb stuff like selfie sticks but, uh, what? Too bad the radar is unreliable as all fuck now. People have posted screenshots of standing "on" a pokemon(non-lure non-insence) that isn't even in their radar.

I bought my first one at level 19 with coins. I've had incubators before so there must be one at 10 and 15 or something? Like I said, I didn't pay close enough attention but I've definitely had incubators I didn't buy before but they're probably also tied to level rewards.

Is it just me or is it alot harder to throw pokeballs and curveballs now? Also, they removed the quick swipe catch method RIP

I've received 3 seperate ones before level 17 and I never paid for any. Maybe they're a super rare pokestop drop?
And the timeline on tracking in Pokemon Go is super clear lol, I don't know how you're being this obtuse...
They release with three step tracking, that completely kills servers due to them getting 1000000x the traffic they expected so they turn it off and massively reduce lists update frequency, along with a few other features (rip capture map) til they get servers under control. Pokevision appears, is both bad for servers and against both ToS and their publicly stated design philosophy so they disable it. And since feet were irrelevant and confusing they removed then last patch. Would you rather have the servers die every 15 minutes like they did before?
Also apparently they have massive red tape hurdles with any public press release. The IP clusterfuck between google, niantic, pokemon and gamefreak, (and the various other license holders around the world) means they can't just make a statement on a forum somewhere. This isn't an indie dev, there's a massive chain of command before anyone can make any kind of offhand comment.
They've had a bunch of job applications for "community management" type positions on the niantic website, so hopefully they'll get their PR shitstorm sorted in the next month or two. 
Anyone have any idea what the Tier list is since the damage rework patch? And are the "new pokestops added" rumours true?

As far as 3 stage Dragons go I still like Salamence. Semi-related I will be buying and painting this model at some point in the future:

Flygon's the original, Garchomp's a phony.

Flygon's OU in Gen 3, it's just Garchomp in Gen 4 is straight up power creep.

Its K, I usually find UU more fun anyway. Although, looking at the UU tier right now I could see Flygon Struggling; half the tier is either Flying or Levitate. I can count like 6 walls who Flygon probably just cannot break, a solid 3 STAB Iceshard mons who can threaten 1HKO's from Priority, and almost a quarter of the tier is bulky waters who can take 3 hits from Flygon and 2HKO Flygon with Icebeam or Icepunch.
Oh, just noticed he in RU. Yeah makes sense.
But yeah, Garchomp is pretty much Flygon with way better moveset, higher damage, higher speed, higher HP, and higher defences.

Oh, you get at least 1 at levels that are multiples of five. I just listed when you get more than one.

Whether anecdotal or not, that seems to be the prevailing feeling from the community. Time to get good at curveballs.

The only difference is that Flygon can be used competitively in Ubers while Garchomp is almost never seen.

It's because Flygon can Defog Primal Groudon and Primal Groudon is basically format-warping in Ubers, lol.
It's literally the only thing it does, but because Primal Groudon is a stupid Pokemon, that's actually good enough.

Looks like after Vaporean took that nerf, Snorlax and Dragonite are now the strongest pokemon
Idk about the new pokestops being added but I heard somewhere it was for mostly western Europe I believe

All I have learned reading the thread today is that I am even happier at my decision to not give any ducks about Pokemon Go, it sounded and still sounds dumb and terrible and if the reason for playing it is 'walking to poke stops and meeting people' and other shit like that I will continue to just not get it. Maybe when they add trading and battling I would get it more but there's barely even a carrot on a stick effect right now especially with the Pokemon library so full of quality outside of this awfully lacking medium/entry.
Onviously people disagree I'm not intending this to stand up as objective fact or anything.
Edit: stupid phone but I'm too lazy to go fix those typos.
