Pokemon Thread #19: Pokemon Go! Step aside for now S&M

[Finnsane]

You can't play it at all or it just started happening today?

Downloaded it today

Just reached level 20. The catch everything then evolve everything at once with a lucky egg on strategy is just too easy. I really haven't even played that much outside of the last few days and when it was first released.

Finally caught a Gastly. Been looking a lot, but now it just appeared while sitting on my sofa lol.

Does anyone else's game freeze after taken out of battery saver mode? I can still move around and stuff, but I just can't click a single thing. Had to turn it off.

I like how the one day of my trip I go somewhere that isn't my Resort filled with Paras, I can't log into the game at all. Good stuff.

 

[HanSolo]

Even worse is the place I'm at has like 35 pokestops so I'm letting those go to waste too

Yeah it's frustrating. The game has had more than its share of problems.

 

[HanSolo]

I'm glad I'm at least legendary arena in Clash Royale. At least I know I have one mobile game that isn't gonna crash on me. It's just gonna make me wanna chuck my phone when I lose.

But seriously when I got here there was a stupid amount of Pokestops. I managed to get a Ghastly and a few other new mons and just as I got surrounded by three Eevees the game crashed.

 

[Virtanen18]

Game has been down for over an hour now. So frustratinggggggggggg

I think this is to be expected. The game hasn't been out for very long and it's the most used mobile app in the world. They probably expected a heavy userbase, but not on this kind of scale.

Glad it was working this morning I guess.

Yep. I "chased" an Alakazam only to come upon my first Squirtle. I'll take it.

FYI I've had "GPS not found" issues today too

The servers went to unstable and ok status for like 5 minutes and is now back to critical

Yeah, it's pretty much 60-70k of experience in 30 minutes which helps a ton considering leveling up takes like >100k experience in the 20s.

Can one of you write a guide for morons like myself who barely understand how to play this game?

I literally just figured out how to get free stuff from PokeStops after looking it up.

 

[mouser]

Have 44 evolutions stored up. Been waiting for the servers to stabilize before popping an egg.

 

[HanSolo]

I just hope these servers come back on for when I go downtown cause otherwise the entirety of my vacation pokemon go wise was Paras village (I have like 150 Paras candies and evolved three just for experience)

Ah ok. So I should basically catch all the useless pokemon in my neighborhood, save them... and then during my lunchbreak (or when I have a good 20-30 min?) find somewhere nice with lots of activity, use a Lucky Egg, evolve all those pokemon and catch anything I can once I'm done evolving?

 

[Afino]

Yep. Catch everything.

I'd recommend evolving at places with little activity to minimize crashes during your 30m.

Exactly. Also try and especially save new evolves you haven't done before for this too. 2000 xp for that.

Managed to catch an Ekans before the servers went back offline.
