hogso Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 This tips list from Metro is handy and includes some stuff I didn't know. I saw one of the pokestops with flowers on it yesterday, but didn't go to investigate. Didn't know the spin your pokeball thing for extra XP thing either. The local 'elements' changing what pokemon spawn is definitely a thing though, like I mentioned I live near a lake and there are always water types around. Got a Shellder yesterday. Same for dark types showing up at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 Anyone seen anything even close to a definitive answer about whether or not progress will be wiped when the official UK release is out? I've seen wildly differing opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 There's nothing quite like bumping in to someone outside a gym, thinking they seem like a nice guy, then seeing them take the gym under the alias "playboi1" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phumfeinz Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Sat in a tree in the rain for 40 minutes today catching Pokemon. Also took over a gym and then someone else on team yellow turned up and helped to reinforce it. This is a weird game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally off topic, but I'm curious about your avatar, the teddy bear with the villa top. What's that from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The three teams can compete to control a gym. A gym can have a maximum of three pokemon in it, to defend it. If you have a pokemon defending a gym, you get 10 coins and 500 dust for each day it's there. If a gym has three Pokemon in it you need to beat all three to take over it (from weakest to strongest). Defending is passive, you just leave the pokemon there and go about your day. If it gets beaten, it will return to you. You have to physically be at the gym to attack it, though. Edit: Just saw a gym with 4 pokemon in it so who knows what the limit is Edited July 12, 2016 by Phumfeinz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted July 12, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted July 12, 2016 Did anyone ever play the original Pokemon games on Nintendo Gameboy? I've always wondered why they've never created that into a MMO type game but in a third person view. That would be so good. A game in a huge Pokemon world, which you explore with your friends battling & catching random Pokemon and battling other players within it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 Yeah, I played the shit out of blue back in the day. Good games, not that they've evolved much. Heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayls Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I was a Pokemon yellow man. Loved that game. I'm now 27 and thinking about getting Pokemon Go on my iPhone once it's out! It's all around me at the moment - my mates, my colleagues at work... Wtf is happening! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use the footsteps in the bottom right to tell when you're getting closer to a pokemon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still trying to obtain a few special ones. im sure someone in the park was playing this as well bit awkward haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 There were a good 50-60 people stood around the square in Nottingham playing and chatting together this evening. At one point, a young couple walked past us, and the woman said "no way those people are all playing Pokemon, you're being stupid". That's exactly what we were doing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
