ThunderPower_14 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I went from level 2 to 7 today at work and managed to pick up a 427cp Arkanine as I was leaving. Just about to walk the dog to hatch a few eggs and see if I can find anything new. I used about 80% of my phone battery but i'm loving it at the moment.

Each morning he fills a flask with coffee, packs a rain jacket and cut lunch in his backpack and heads into the wilderness to hunt Pokémon – come rain, hail, or snow. The 24-year-old Kiwi quit his job in Auckland last week to embark on a two month tour of New Zealand, with the aim of capturing all of the Pokémon released on smartphone game Pokémon Go last week.

I think by the time this comes out a lot of people would have caught a whole host of pokemon. This should have been released when app was ready. I think by the time this comes out the novelty factor would have worn off abit also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading up on what it does (collection of pokestop items etc) - it'll ONLY let you try and catch pokemon you've already got. So unless you're living in the Bristol Channel and are farming the 150 Magikarp you need for the Gyarados evolution (or catching every Zubat near to Steveo to save his sanity), you're not really getting a whole lot for your $35/£35. It doesn't even tell you the time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its already hard enough finding 1! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I wonder if the battery life issues have contributed to the GO Plus being so late. Niantic have already addressed that the battery life issue needs fixing so adding Bluetooth to the already volatile mix wouldn't be ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I wonder if they'll extend the available pokemon to the full 721? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briggaman Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I was worried it would delete my account due to playing on the APK download but it has been fine so far. Really enjoying it but the servers have been a bit iffy since it was launched on the app store... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted July 15, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted July 15, 2016 Being at work is cool. Said before but my seat is inside the radius of a pokestop. I can spend all day opening the app and sticking up on stuff. Plus, I reckon pokemon congregate around pokestops. I've added 2 unique ones to my collection this morning already (Dragonair and Bellsprout) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times can I get away with it? Caught an Abra last night whilst doing nothing at home. I haven't walked anywhere yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 my pokestop is by my entrance of my work, my office is about 5 minute walk so try and make little walks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I'm just outside a Pokestop a work, and most of the Pokemon seem to be rustling on the canal which is the other side of the wall. *shakes fist* Not catching anything in the office. The drive to work was good as I know some locations for the Stops. Just a few quick pull-overs on the ride to and from work to stock up will be required. Got a gym right next door though.

Dante_Lockhart Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Just wasted 40 balls trying to catch a Golbat and gave up. Just couldn't even hit it, never mind get it in the ball to start with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
