I saw a gyarados yesterday already.

 

I think they have made it far to fast and easy. I want catching Pokemon to be hard, sure have Piaget and rattatas be everywhere. But the higher ones should be exceptionally rare.

Also I think they need to drop the speed limit to 5 mph. These people driving around catching and hatching are ruining the profession curve.

 

I'm in a suburban neighborhood, PA and have a gym and 2 stops within view but not range. I also have quite a few route 1 Pokemon, and a few Veridian Forest Pokemon as well.

The only consolation is I caught an Abra up the street. I really need to explore around my workplace more.

 

I have yet to notice a green glow, so now I'm going to start looking for that and seeing if this is true.

Otherwise, point 1= what circle? You mean the one around the player? And point= are you saying that just having leaves somewhere in your circle means theres a pokemon existing within that same circle, possibly somewhere else? Because I can guarantee you the leaves don't mean theres a pokemon there

 

I'm about 20 minutes from 2 metropolitan areas (Tampa and St. Pete) and there's nothing in my immediate area because it's residential, probably some in the rest of the area but I haven't had the chance to look yet. On the bright side, if your area is so deserted the gyms in your area won't be heavily contested.

 

Download Ingress, and sign in with your Gmail account. Then delete the app. Then go HERE, sign in with your gmail (you need to have created it in game, first), and you can see what's there.

So far, I have checked out most of my local area. Out of the 31 locations marked on the map that I've visited, 29 have had either a pokestop or a gym. One doesn't exist at all, and there is a cluster of three Ingress points that are two PoGo points, so one of them has gone missing. Turns out it wasn't missing any (like I said aa few pages back), I was just unable to read a roadmap correctly.

But generally, it's reliable.


Also, I managed to hold all five local gyms today. Admittedly, it was only for about a minute, but it was long enough to claim the reward. Sticking in non-top mons means I don't have issues reclaiming them later though.

No really interesting catches today, other than a Scyther. There was a Kabuto appeared as one of the nearby mons, but I was on a straight road, and it appeared and disappeared from the list without actually showing up.

 

Anyone have any tips on actually "tracking" a pokemon down? There was a Pidgeotto at three footsteps away from me and I swear I ran everywhere looking for the damn thing, but I never even saw the footsteps go down to two.

 

Yeah, it looks like you have to have the app. But wouldn't you need a phone like that to run PoGo anyway?

If you PM me where you want looking, I can send you the printscreens?

 

I love this game, but they need to work on where certain types spawn.

For 30 minutes I walked on a trail within ~50 feet of the Mississippi River, it contained 6 pokestops. I could see the water, it smelled like fish, and I saw 3 people actually fishing from the bank. What pokemon spawned... 1 magikarp, 1 psyduck, and about 50 weedle and pidgey. I've caught 3 Krabby around my home, and there isn't a body of water within probably 5 miles.

 

Apparently, if you want Dragons, go to a golf course.

Because that makes perfect sense.

I'm actually thinking I should head into the city in the next few days, see if I can find anything different. I also need to get started on my 101 Magikarp for Gyarodos, and hopefully either the river or park will provide them.

 

I got all my electric Pokemon in the centre city by the council buildings.

 

Update on the the "green glow" in the tracker:

Yet to see it at all. I do not believe it exists, and the tracker still continues to be horse shit.

Focused on capturing gyms for my daily coins today, i'll worry about hunting some pokemon down later tonight.

I've also heard word of mouth that South Beach is amazing for spawns, like a ton of fighting types among others I haven't seen. I'll be going there sometimes soon for that.

 

Niantic confirms trading is to come, and hints that pokestops and gyms will be improved.

Also, someone's scienced a better way of locating pokemon.
It works well in open spaces, or on very regular street layouts. Windy roads, less useful.

EDIT

dead link fixed?

 

That science link is broken

THERE WE GO.

Not quite what I said, but a better idea than mine all the same. Probably a good thing.

 

Let's discuss the better side of Pokemon Lures

 

Being lazy and playing from home.
