Use Incense. Then you can catch them in your lounge or wherever you are without moving.

In fact: You dont really have to move at all because its random where they turn up.

Incorrect

Use incense. Pokemon are also random so you can find them when driving around or, even better, when being driven around. Just keep clicking on their icons until the battle pops up.

And dont try to take over the Yellow Gyms. They're currently bugged so the pokemon inside them are invincible.

Edit: Not just Yellow Gyms but all gyms. A random bug occurs which makes the pokemon almost invincible.

Commonly occurs at yellow gyms.

And the servers have been down for almost two hours.

Anyone found a dead body yet?

Quote
One “Pokémon GO” player found a dead body while exploring her neighbourhood in search of “Pokémon.”

Shayla Wiggins, a 19-year-old from Riverton, Wyoming, found the body floating in a river near her mother’s home at the B & K Mobile Home Park. “I was trying to get a Pokémon from a natural water resource,”

Things that are right with Pokemongo:
It has Pokémon in it
Things that are wrong with Pokemongo:
Poor UIX
Constant server issues
Terrible graphical glitches
Poor to no help system
Everything is random
Anyone found a dead body yet?
I will add this to the 'things that are right' list.

I dont have to walk. If you're at in a building higher than two storeys the GPS cant find your properly so you just teleport around randomly. Hell, even sitting at home makes me teleport randomly around.

Makes egg hatching easy.

But how are we supposed to capture Voltorb?

Pokemon Go players are being told to stay away from electricity substations and not to climb on power lines.

Transpower issued the warning on Tuesday as the augmented reality game attracted players to all sorts of dangerous situations.

High voltage areas like power lines, towers and substations were no place for video game players, the company warned.

Shops starting to put up signs like "Pokemans is fer pay'n custamahs ONLY" 'n shit.

Much lulz.

People whinging about how morons milling around not watching where they're going... Like it's any different to how morons normally block all the footpaths 'n crap, heh. I've not noticed much change except in that everyone's talking about it.

At first I thought it was stupid, but now I've learnt to love it.

Even though I can't play it on my phone, and I have no intention of buying a phone that can.

I just love reading all the news stories about it.

Plus, I'm a fan of AR, and Pokémon GO has really made AR go mainstream, no doubt it will be an incentive for developers to create some awesome AR games, not only for the phone, but other platforms like Meta glasses and Hololens.


^ nice gif

Here is the plain English version of the Pokemon Go TOS

Quote
If you haven't played for a year, you fuck up, or we fuck up, we can delete all of your virtual goods. We don't have to give them back. We might even discontinue some virtual goods entirely, but we'll give you 60 days advance notice if that happens.
You can spend money on Coins & Pokeballs. We ain't giving you that money back. Oh, and the EU gives people refund rights in some cases. Not this one.
There seems to be a patch today which will reboot your app automatically when the servers go down.

I have to laugh at some of the comments of people raging just because someone likes to play a video game.


This one says it all.
Quote
The majority of NZ is so caught up in sports like rugby which serve just as much purpose as Pokemon Go, yet they mock those that play computer games. Irony.

Well, that's not entirely true...
Rugby brings about physical fitness.
And the exciting possibility of brain damage.

Pokemon GO isn't nearly so rewarding to one's person.

A Canterbury University professor claims to have nearly unleashed pokemania on the world five years ago – only in his version of the popular app, there were no pokeballs.

Professor Rob Lindeman has watched the spectacle of Pokemon Go unfold.

The success could have been all his. It nearly was.


Yeah, I don't think so.

There have probably been thousands of idea's for AR games.
But only Nintendo owns the rights to Pokémon.
