Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted July 12, 2016 Paid Members Posted July 12, 2016 I haven't played this yet, but I'm trying to understand how it works. If the game tells me there's a Jigglypuff sat in my local boozer, is that bastard there for everyone to catch or will it appear in my individual game only? Quote
Undefeated Steak Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) As a huge Pokemon fan and somebody who's been looking forward to this game for months, I'm gutted to not be able to play it. I'm using my old Galaxy S3 and it's got Android 4.3. I can't seem to get the game to play and it must be because it needs to run on Android 4.4 or later. I can't seem to update it to a later version and I can't make heads or tails of what google is telling me. Is there an easy way around this? I'd rather not have to pay for a full new handset just to play Pokemon Go cos I'm shit at breaking/losing phones (hence why I'm back on the S3 again). Would be ace if anyone can suggest a way around this or a layman's way to update my Android. Edit: Typo. Edited July 12, 2016 by Undefeated Steak Quote
Keith Houchen Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 I've never played Pokemon but I'm going to get this when its on iPhone. Quote
Paid Members air_raid Posted July 12, 2016 Paid Members Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) I wish I'd known about this game before I got my new tattoo. I swear, in a Chinese buffet in Soho on Sunday night a waiter tried to catch the Pikachu on my arm. You need 400 x candy to evolve Magikarp.FOUR HUNDRED. Motherfuckers!! Yeah, I've only found 2 of the fuckers so far. It's going to be a while before that becomes anything useful! Yeah, you really gotta want that Gyarados. Worth it, I'd say. Anyway, a really unfortunate side-effect of Pokemon Go capturing the imagination of loads of people is that it's exposed a fresh new thing for people on networks to post those God-awful "I'm proud to be in the 5% of people that have never" posts. Star Wars and Game Of Thrones has prompted them in the past, now it's Pokemon. Oh, good for you. You aren't into something wildly popular. If it's not for you, it's not for you, but it in no way makes you cool, edgy or anti-conformist by sticking your chest out and being proud of it. Let people have their fun however they want, you joyless pricks. Celebrate what you ARE into, rather than making a song and dance of what you're not. Edited July 12, 2016 by air_raid Quote
Undefeated Steak Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 Slightly off-topic, but anyone who was into the card game back in the day, the new online TCG is good fun. Been playing that for a few months. I think there's phone apps for it too. Quote
Stunner Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) Grow up. Also, am I supposed to walk towards those little dancing blades of grass to find Pokemon? I caught a Weedle in my kitchen but it's too rainy to venture out. Edited July 12, 2016 by Stunner Quote
Paid Members PunkStep Posted July 12, 2016 Author Paid Members Posted July 12, 2016 I really don't know if the rustling actually means there's Pokemon there to be honest, haven't noticed that being the case. Caught an Oddish left handed whilst cycling home. I need to have a word with myself. Quote
Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted July 12, 2016 Paid Members Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) Does the size and weight of the Pokemon make any difference? I've just realised that a ton of duplicates are really all different in size and weight and some have attacks outside of their normal class, which makes it very deceiving. Defo something to keep an eye on I have a 205cp Pidgeotto weighs 30kg and 1.03m in height. It currently has HP of 47. It has a Steel primary attack of 15. I have another Pidgeotto 302cp. weighs 2.52kg and 0.92m in height. HP of 55. Flying primary attack of 12 I would have assumed the first to be a bit shit, but on further looking, it seems better, especially with the 'steel' attack. I've just been transferring them without even looking! Edited July 12, 2016 by Silky Kisser Quote
Paid Members FLips Posted July 12, 2016 Paid Members Posted July 12, 2016 Not entirely sure for GO, but in the games the heavier Pokemon generally have better defence. In terms of flying or steel moves, they would be strong/weak against certain Pokemon. Quote
Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted July 13, 2016 Paid Members Posted July 13, 2016 Pro tip. If you're planning on evolving a Pokemon, you're best off waiting till you have a few to evolve, then use a lucky egg which grants double XP for 30 mins. You'll level up much faster this way. Quote

Ian 86 Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 someone has set off a lure at the Pokestop across the road and I'm stuck on a conference call. Wouldn't mind but there's a Pikachu shadow keeps appearing but not lasting very long - everyone loves a Pikachu, no? Quote
Paid Members PunkStep Posted July 13, 2016 Author Paid Members Posted July 13, 2016 Everyone does, yes. There are a couple of Pokestops nearby that people keep hooking a lure module up to, yet the one nearest my office that I can actually access at my desk- never. It will get to the point where I end up just going for a walk during working hours across the city just to catch the shadows that keep appearing... Quote
Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted July 13, 2016 Paid Members Posted July 13, 2016 I can't get it in Ireland . Just as I caved, I'm being told its not available here. Every day is 1973 here. Quote
