You get those randomly at Pokespots, you put them in an incubator and have to walk the required distance.

Here's what you get out of each.

Quickman · **Reply #127 on:** July 14, 2016, 11:57:53 PM

I may try hunting in my house later tonight. I'm really limited where I can go until I set up my Contraption.

Once I get the mobile hotspot going and force the app to use Google Maps offline mode (it uses the API), I may be able to manage some sort of working configuration.

Bootleg Pokemon GO.

Police Girl · **Reply #128 on:** July 15, 2016, 06:04:43 PM

Ok, question since i've been begged to try the game again with a friend.

When you hit level 5 do you have to join a team?

Sakura Leic · **Reply #129 on:** July 15, 2016, 06:17:59 PM

Yes, you must join one.

Police Girl · **Reply #130 on:** July 15, 2016, 06:36:06 PM

Welp, guess i'm quitting after level 5 then.

I get the whole "social" aspect and whatever but its just ingrained in my head that "Teams" in Pokemon are always the bad guys. Throws me off something massive.

Besides, I have one friend. Social aspects of games are almost entirely wasted on me.

Game seems to work ok now. It remembered i have a pokemon and it let me catch a weedle, caterpie and a ghastly.

Mirby · **Reply #131 on:** July 15, 2016, 08:36:46 PM

You don't HAVE to choose a team. You won't be able to do anything with Gyms, but you can go as long as you want without joining a team.

Plus, you don't have to be friends with the people on your team. Myself and my fiance are on Valor while we have 2 friends on Mystic and another on Instinct. We haven't even met many Valor people in our neighborhood (but they keep taking the nearby Gym) and we've actually gotten along better with a couple of Mystic players nearby. They helped us track a Hitmonlee last night lol

Sakura Leic · **Reply #132 on:** July 15, 2016, 08:39:56 PM

I thought I recalled the choice was forced upon you but I guess if that's not the case then that should be fine.

Mirby · **Reply #133 on:** July 15, 2016, 08:43:39 PM

It's only forced upon you once you inspect a Gym after hitting level 5. If you never inspect a Gym, you're never asked to join a team.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #134 on:** July 15, 2016, 08:46:48 PM

Ah okay that makes sense.

Police Girl · **Reply #135 on:** July 15, 2016, 08:47:18 PM

Ok good then that alleviates my biggest issue.

I'll just... stay away from gyms then. I've managed to catch another caterpie, a venonat, and a drowzee.

*trying to catch Pokemon in my apartment*

*app won't load*

Of course.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #137 on:** July 16, 2016, 11:17:59 PM

Can someone with a lot of Eevees try an experiment based on a trick my brother swears works to get a certain Eeveelution for verification if it works or is just a huge coincidence?

Basically he says that if you name a Eevee after one of the three Eevee brothers in the first season you'll get the Eeveelution of that corresponding Element the brother has. The names were Rainer, Pyro, and Sparky.

Mirby · **Reply #138 on:** July 17, 2016, 03:48:22 AM

It works. My fiance named one Sparky and it became a Jolteon. And there's a ton of people (and I mean a TON of people) all over the place all saying they tested it and it works. From dozens of sites, too, so it's not just a bunch of people in one place saying it works.

Quickman · **Reply #139 on:** July 17, 2016, 03:57:33 AM

I found a Weedle in my living room and tried to catch it. App crashed. Still registered as a catch. I am now at Level 2 with the most glitchy version of Pokemon GO in existence.

No Pokemon showing up in my house sadly and my app does do that at times too.

I am envious my little brother managed to capture both a Pikachu and Drowzee today at the Movies. Seriously...? Damn app...

Amatiramisu · **Reply #141 on:** July 18, 2016, 02:00:58 AM

Yeah I think I'm gonna call it quits on GO. I have constant server issues that nobody else seems to get (I doubt it's my device, might be my data plan though) and I just generally have pretty [parasitic bomb] luck. All the Pokemon I want always seem to elude me or they run away (I had a growlithe run twice) or I get connection issues DURING the capture and lose everything. Not a lot of stuff shows up around where I live either (and a couple of my friends confirmed that suburban areas are pretty dead) so I have to go WAY out of my way (I'm talking 30 min drive) to catch anything.

In general the game's been frustrating me and bumming me out more often than it's been fun.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #142 on:** July 18, 2016, 02:05:22 AM

Yeah I say come back like in a month or 2, if you're still interested mind you, since they began the roll out in Europe again but the servers have still not been updated except once.

Niantic probably still didn't expect the huge amount of people playing compared to Ingress which is way more niche than Pokemon.

Quickman · **Reply #143 on:** July 18, 2016, 02:39:19 AM

I started looking into getting a new phone, since I should upgrade anyway. In the meantime, I'm probably gonna call it quits as well.

Amatiramisu · **Reply #144 on:** July 18, 2016, 04:21:07 AM

I'll stick around but I'm not really gonna go out of my way to take gyms or anything. I just can't scrounge up the resources for that.

Quickman · **Reply #145 on:** July 18, 2016, 04:25:55 AM

I'm really limited to my tablet version, so I'll play with it a bit, but that's it.

Police Girl · **Reply #146 on:** July 18, 2016, 04:25:56 AM

I'm gonna be the solo hero who doesn't go to gyms and just collects all the pokemon.

Yeah same here, my place isn't like San Fran with Poke Spots everywhere.

Quickman · **Reply #148 on:** July 18, 2016, 04:30:02 AM

I'm rocking this starter pack.

Hypershell · **Reply #149 on:** July 18, 2016, 05:16:30 AM

My entire Trainer Club account is broken so I've not yet gotten any further than logging in via Google and catching a starter. Stopped when it asked for my username and then told me it wasn't available. It WOULD be if the freaking password reset email worked.

Oh well, I'm not especially eager since I know I will spend every day that I play the thing ticked off until I catch/hatch me a Dratini.

Figured I'd share this. Apparently you can fix your Eevee evolution through nicknames, but it won't let you fix the same evolution multiple times in a row.
