WOW judging by all the "but it's free!" comments (which is explained 30 seconds in), a lot of you seem to comment before you even watch the video. SHAME.
STOP DEBUNKING MY COMMENTS BEFORE I CAN COMMENT THEM!
But it's not free it costs you a few mb of data
wow xD haha people man smh
I've only been able to get into it for 2 mins till it crashed and now whenever I try to start it it says that the servers are down
It being free is fine to me, I just want a battle system like the all the main series games.
My nearest gym is in the "employees only" section of my Wal-Mart.
LOL
Lies. You don't have to be that close.
Risk it
+PitchBlack dosent mean it isent in there.
Mine is all the way inside the female restroom at my workplace.....
My favorite part is the server error minigame
Never got to play because of it :/
I had to Uninstall because I can't get past the trainer customization ! It keeps crashing .
+9Tailsfan I hope it keeps crashing for u lmao
I was gonna play and actually explore but then I realised I had to have my phone bill payed to fully play it.
+5uiCiD3 X Lol... Yeah . .. But seriously pretty annoying and disappointing , so I just gave up.
it needs:
Better battling
Less battery wasting
Better catching
The ability to battle friends
friend battles will be coming in future updates. Next big patch brings in player to player trading
***** yassss
Ewan give it time, it's just come out.
and the ability to trade with friends
***** Cool, when will battling look different?
There's a mew in my locals banks vault...... Should I risk it
Remember : GOTTA CATCH EM ALL
Lier lol because they said no legendarys have been put in and plus you can click Pokemon that are like 25 feet away
+KalebCanadian dumb ass
there aren't any mews yet.. nobody's caught the rare ones
+두유에슐리 it's a joke
You missed one of the high points of Pokemon GO: it gets people to be social. Just today I was running around town (something I've never done in the first place) with some people I had just met catching Pokemon together and going over strats and tips. We talked like old friends and exchanged information and had an amazing time together, even if we weren't being social through the app itself. Pokemon GO is bringing people together, and I think that's honestly one of the most powerful aspects of the game. Even if it's buggy, even if the servers drop, even if it lacks features, it has given people a way to make friends through a common desire to explore and catch Pokemon. Bringing people together has always been at the heart of Pokemon and for the first time in possibly forever, we are seeing it do that on a massive scale. As someone who has been a dedicated fan since Gen 1, this makes me so happy at times that I think I might cry.
>'someone who has been a dedicated fan since Gen 1'
This is rarer than a shiny Chansey.
*****
I know, right? So many Ultra Balls, wasted...
+Dracorex13 Shiny vespiquen though...
instead of gem hunter or w/e the fuck its called at least people will go outside now!
i can't wait when its out in the uk it one of my childhood dreams come true
Video been out for 46 seconds and someone already disliked... No way someone can already watch the vid and dislike...
Dislike before video?
Some people are just assholes
People like videos all the time before watching them in their entirety. Nobody whines about that...
Sure no one liked.
no way someone can like the video before watching
I hope they add an update where you have to fight to catch pokemon and the fights are turn based
Then they'll just be killing off their Nintendo franchise. Unfortunately they'll keep it pretty simple.
If it was turn based it'd take a lot longer to battle so it wouldn't be as accessible. If you want the classic system play the main series.
nah do it so you meet with other pgo players from there phone
yes and let the child abduction begin
Nah, but gym battles should be turn-based.
Plays pokemon go
Walks for awhile
How did i get to Canada?
I can only imagine this will be the Pokemon version of Xenoblade.
We don't have it here yet ;n;
+Polar yea I'm still waiting for it in Canada
+Derek M I have it and I'm in Canada rip aha it sucks tho the servers don't even work 90% of the time
+Derek M www.apkmirror.com/apk/niantic-inc/pokemon-go/pokemon-go-0-29-0-release/pokemon-go-0-29-0-android-apk-download/
The nearest gym to me is a fucking anti abortion sign.
W H Y
Boy I hope it gives you an egg
Mine is an abandoned Chinese Food place... Lol
+Patteroni lol
Mines a liquor store. Drunk pokemon oh boy
+Erik Bredenkamp mines a park and a Ralph's then I have one at ell poi o loco I think I got lucky
It's a lot of fun, but if I got a nickel everytime the servers weren't working I'd be rich.
More like a penny and you'll be a millionaire
+King Blazic nickels are better than pennys you silly billy
Working Great for me now
it goes on and off between working hard and hardly working
Its just cause everyone is rushing to play. once the hype dies a little, everything should work fine
I wish they stuck with their usual turn base battles.
Then it would be too much like the ds version and since this is free i dont think they are gonna do that
+Mark Boi I know but it's always been that way. it's better then swiping and tapping practically randomly.
+BlackGuyUnitYT its not
Nicholas Tallent To me it is. There are more a variety of moves and more strategy required. Which is my preference of course. I respek your preference. But the way it is, it doesn't peak my picky interest.
+BlackGuyUnitYT The dodging and swiping is more like the animae where its not turn based
Here are 3 ways to make Pokemon Go better
1. Turn based battling
2. Actually battle wild pokemon
3. Eventually have all 721 pokemon
To the top
and battling wherever you want and making your own team
and you expect that out of a free game. gotcha
Nah, here what would make it better
1.BETTER SERVERS!!!!
You started out great and then you got to #3
If only they had the actual Pokemon combat this would be a dream come true
It would've been very inconvenient.
I don't see why they didn't, or why there is no trading or battling friends. I thought the whole point was to socialize.
I think it's the DS games. If they made a free to play game with most or all the features of the DS games, then DS game sales would tank. I've seen this question quite often and think this is the best answer.
I would personally absolutely pay the price of a DS game for this if it had the features of a real pokemon game, with combat mechanics and trading etc.
its still in beta
all I want to know is why is every pokemon gym a church around me
lol same
Same here lol
same here haha
+nghtmaresindrome aye lol
Look in the pokemon world a gym is a church.... u guess... the only gym i have is a church on my street xD
Here's a flaw, the houses in my neighborhood don't appear on the map and there's no pokestops any where near me so I'm slowly running out of pokeballs, they should allow you to suggest locations to become pokestops
+James Whalley the most stops are from ingress in polemon go. and i think ingress is much better... I expected much more of pokemon... it is really the same as ingress but with less fuctions.....
This is what they call a soft release of Pokemon GO, so its literally straight out of Beta testing. Niantic has even stated that they will add more features as time goes on, but for right now even the servers are overloaded and continue to be so even as they add more servers. The game was just way more popular than Niantic prepared for and I imagine they will address more of the bugs as they get their servers running well and release it world wide.
+Unreal Productions yeah but the pokemon fights sucks. i dont think they are going to change that. because then the need to make half of the game again haha.
me neither, if u go down town you can get 100+ in less than an hour, or a more populated/visited area or landmark
My work is super isolated. So, there aren't any pokestops near it. That is unfortunate since I know folks live around there. The closest one is a couple miles away. Which has gotta suck.
this game is made for gamers to go outside
a thinly veiled exercise app indeed. the proof is in the incubator lol
Well, it mirrors how it worked in the original games though.
Bah, I installed hacks to mess with the gps.
+LittleSoldierPT Be careful you gonna get banned
+Cody Cupp I was jk :(
If only they had the actual Pokemon combat
And also if you can battle
Wild Pokemon
ikr
They do
MegaOopla I don't think
Who has the fastest finger is the actual pokemon battling
James Parsons Lol. True
They need to make it so you can see other players on the map. That would be awesome.
It would cause lag.
That's how you start gang wars right there
Just wished you could dual, seen plenty of folks in the park.
Yeah, true. Chill Aura . The only way I could see it working is if we put the ping directly on a giant server, and not have it wired directly into the game. Or, if they had only a certain radius you could see people from. Dakota Powell I know right :P Arnhem Antiques They may add that in the future. Imagine if tons of people came to see duels. Amazing.
+Familys Vlogs And Stuff He can just walk after you to your home already....
There's a Pokemon in area 51 should I risk it? :)
Of course. Record it and take a print screen.
We trust u! :)
Ed, nice to see you here!! I sub to your channel. Shouldn't you be making some tech videos instead of playing Pokemon Go lol
Just exploring this crazy reality game :) but more videos are on their way...
Area 51 staff are lucky! They can control all the gyms in that area and no one on the outside can battle.
+ProGamer1515 yeah.... wonder what will happen, if they choose different faction?
Someone's gonna die playing this game by...
Walking into a dark alley for a Zubat.
Walking into a 4 way intersection for a rare Pokemon.
Drowning in the Ocean trying to catch a Gyarados.
Walking off a skyscraper for a Pidgy.
Aiming your phone towards a buff guy you think is a Machamp.
1000 Ways to Die: Pokemon Go Edition
I loved the show 1000 ways to die I'm demented
already happened. fatal highway accident cause of Pokemon go
walking into a dark alley with a rapist in it
someone died today because they stopped their car and a truck hit them
someone found a murdered body playing pokemon go
While the game itself is pretty basic and without the Pokemon name attached, would likely go unnoticed, what is amazing about it is what it has done. I have been playing this since it was released, and since then I have seen crowds of people playing this in multiple areas throughout the city where I live. I've actually had strangers come up and ask what was going on, since they noticed people were looking down at their phones more than usual. I've met more new people over this game than I have in probably the last couple years. I don't think I have ever seen a population of people this size come outside into the real world and participate in a common activity like this in my entire life. Even if the game itself is bare bones, buggy, and has a lot that can and should be done with it, the fact that people everywhere are engaged in the game, and engaged as a community, makes this worthwhile and fun.
You must imagine how huge the game is with all the maps worldwide all the streets and setting the pokemon basically where they belong to like water type near water, or electro pokemon in larger cities it's really hard work doing that ofc nintendo will do patche and will fix the most common bugs when the game will release like the laggard when you try to send the pokemon to the professor
+Isfak Volpo It's actually Niantic whose developing the game. They have experience doing this with their previous game Ingress, so I do have confidence in them. If this game is anything like Ingress, it will be everything we want it to be with future developments.
Would you say they might update it to include the turnbase aspect? I feel like thats a big thing missing for a lot of people, especially myself having grown up with the original series and games.
David Schwartz Doubtful. It's possible, but I wouldn't expect to get any kind of combat similar to the games. I'm not sure what gameplay tweaks they have planned, but what we see here is probably the core of what we'll get, though I am sure we'll be seeing more and more interactive functions in the future.
At first, I wasn't too big on this app and didn't think it would be that popular. Now after seeing how popular this app REALLY is and the crazy things people do in order to catch certain Pokemon, I must say, I'm really impressed. Pokémon has managed to connect alot of people out there in the world and encourages them to explore out in the open world. If this game was released in Europe,Canada, and Japan, this app would be INSANELY POPULAR.
Now no doubt in my mind that later on, they'll have to update this by releasing later Gens of pokemon, such as ones in Johto,Hoenn,Sinnoh,Unova,Kalos. It just makes sense in the developer's eyes. The more pokemon there are, the more popular this game will be...
When two different rooms in your house are in reach of a gym and Pokècenter. :D
XD lucky
Lucky! I live in a very wooded area a good bit from town so there is practically noting around me. Only like 1 or 2 Pokémon every now and then :/
however I did manage to find an Eevee so yayy!! :3
Same, bruh!
+Jessie Collins Ikr, I'm not too far from a town, but It's a good 10 km away from where I live, and since I don't have a drivers license yet and don't plan on walking/Riding there, I'm here in my street and yard Looking for Pokemon, although I have found a decent amount, and I also found another starter so I have two now (Charmander and Bulbusaur) But yeah, kinda sad.... And the worst part is, I got it on my IPad, so I can't go exploring with it since it doesn't have any Data, so I've been using my Mothers IPhone to go exploring, and it's also been raining.... My life is kinda sad atm...
AusTrain Station That sounds very sad, but at least you got two starters. Look on the bright side!
This should be called "before you download for free"
So did you watch the video? He clearly states in the beginning the app is free.
+Jake Rieger The title doesn't state that.
YES
ikr xd
Dominick J Because it’s a series.
We are currently having server difficulties. Try again later.
+MrMosbyOfficial VEVO gahhhhh
+MrMosbyOfficial VEVO gahhhhh
rip
I don't understand. I don't get this notification. Always works fine for me.
The servers are kinda broken atm cuz of all the activity ur probably getting lucky cuz i cant get in the game😂
Ok, so I'm just going to break down the game I thought they were going to make instead of this weird thing:
It would be an app that runs in the background, using the built in pedometer to count your steps and GPS to locate you.
The map would be 2D, and your avatars face would indicate where exactly you are (like a nicer looking Google maps).
As you walk along, the app notifies you when you have stumbled across a Pokemon, and asks if you would like to battle it and try to catch it. You can also be actively using the app, tapping your avatar on the map, sending out a shock-wave, and seeing if any Pokemon are near you (sort of like the system in ORAS, but not for seeking out specific Pokemon).
The map indicates to you the types of Pokemon that can be caught in certain areas for a given day; perhaps one day, you can step outside your house and find Ground types from Kalos, but, on the next day, now you can catch Flying types from Johto. This encourages exploration while allowing people who don't want to roam the streets looking like an idiot to still catch a diverse set of Pokemon and form a decent team.
In addition, the more you walk, the higher your chance of encountering a rare Pokemon and successfully catching Pokemon increases linearly (as well as the rate at which shinnies appear, though this may be too much); so, someone who has just finished a 2 mile run will have a much better chance of finding and snagging a Bagon then his couch potato friend. This encourages activity and exploration, and makes it a substantially different from console titles.
Pokemon centers and shops would be located in a menu, where you would receive small, daily boosters and a set number of trips to the nurse that you can make in a day. If you want more items, you'll either need to walk to gain currency, wait, or pay up. Also, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have Honey be an item you can purchased, allowing for instant encounters upon use (a nice nod to people who might just want to catch some Pokemon in their living room, and a great opportunity to get some money from hardcore gamers). And, finally, a Pokemon Trading Market, where you can buy and sell Pokemon, I think would also be a great addition; players looking to buy some Honey to encounter a Ice type near them would sell a few of their Weedles in order to afford it; or, vice-versa, may simply try and buy that rare Pokemon they are looking for. Here is the free-to-play aspect of the game, which I know people hate, but developers gotta make a living. Besides, it helps set the app apart from the game.
Pokemon gyms could be set up by anyone, anywhere; just hit a button, and your gym is set up, ready for challengers. When someone walks up to your gym, they can ask to battle your team (which will be operated by a bot); if you happen to be there, however, the challenger will battle you! Whoever wins the battle gets a reward (paid for by the app, of course). If you win a lot of battles, people in your town are alerted that a strong trainer has started a gym at X location, and is putting up a good challenge (i.e. the more battles your team wins, the higher your prestige goes). People who put gyms in high traffic areas and have built up a good team stand to earn a lot of in-game currency this way.
Battles can also be initiated between trainers who are nearby via an internet connection.
And, perhaps most importantly, all battles, trading, and breeding mechanics would be pulled straight from the original games.
Don't fix what ain't broke.
Those are just my thoughts though. I think the developers went more for the whole "Look, Pokemon in the real world!!!", instead of making something that allows your daily routine to become part of the Pokemon world.
PLEASE!! Nintendo READ this!!!
WELL DONE.
Does it hog a lot of data?
Spam this on forums?
***** I would assume.
Nobody usually goes outside where I live.. Today I met like 30 people playing Pokemon go.
same here today we seen at least 75-100 different players all around town shit was awesome
im gona assume this is an original comment and give you the lol
How do you know if they are playing Pokemon? Do they walk funnily, or do they hold their phone in a different way?
Tony Z okay yes I have seen this! they walk like zombies even at the club last night! also they usually get excited and say " I got em! " or something like that. I had no idea it was ona cell phone till then.
+Tony Z they could have asked him if he was playing it or he saw them lookin at there phone and he asked them randomly 😑😑
I'm willing to bet there's someone playing this shit in Antarctica right now lol
How else are you going to catch those ice pokemon.
you can wait for winter?
+Ordinary Cool Dud Canada's not real.
Anyone else got the problem where you're fighting at a gym and the opponent doesn't die not matter how low the health is
yes, it's happened to me alot. 😧
+blacknight19990 yup
Yuuuuup , struggling with it rinnnow too
yeap happened heaps, hope its fixed soon
same. I encountered the problem today. I thought that its just the game but this also happen with other people wow
seeing the final product makes me wonder why we had to wait so long
Trash also takes time...
Especially when it's basically a reskin of Ingress.
ninraccon Um...what? The game uses pre-existing map systems.
ninraccon you think they traveled all over the world to make this game?
ninraccon All Pokestops and gyms are places of interest. Definitely pre-existing in GPS map systems,
Mitchell Obama tried to make everyone get active for 8 years now. Pokemon Go made us do it in 24 hours.
Original
bruh
Oh yeah MITCHELL Obama. MITCHELL Obama is a top lad. MITCHELL helped the US massively.
+Negan No, she got rid of my chocolate fudge cookies at school
Did you think of that all by yourself?
Team to join Team Rocket and go running around stealing everyone's smartphone.
This guy gets it.
Nice profile pic ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
lol
Lmao
Funny thing is... Smartphones don't have Pokemon go. Only apple products do XD
Shoutout to those of us that live in the hood and are limited to this game
Shoutout to us who live in a country and don't get any Pokemon spawns
shoutout for those who live by the woods
shout out to the people who dont have a life
+KalebCanadian that must suck
Angel Paredes yeah I used the incent thing it has 20 minutes left out of 30 and ive only gotten 2 weedles XD
The game actually has a battery saver mode that is quite helpful!
yeah
yeah but it requires you to flip your phone upside down and doesnt make Too much of a Bg diffrence
All that does is dim your display. It's still using mobile data, wifi and GPS to constantly determine your location and update nearby pokemon, not to mention using the gyroscope and accelerometer to measure your distance walked. It's a battery hog like no other.
The game as mentioned in the video uses Google Maps, so you can just open your Google Maps app and go to offline areas to download the map for your city. Battery usage will drop by a lot :)
Still uses a ton of battery power with that option on, still cannot be run in the background, still crashes even when you use your first incense you got for leveling up. Poor programming across the board.
my pokestop is in a middle of lake......you better be water proof like the commercials say s7
Hahahahaha LOL
You might find one t
if the lake pokémon..
Ride on the back of your water Pokémon.
+Ajax- Theacidbiohazard it fainted and the nearest Pokemon center is in a strip club
+Nerdy Fox oh, dear...
So basically:
the game is bare bones, as far as mechanics are concerned, but it's got the basic essance of what Pokemon is, and that's a start.
Found a jigglypuff at Starbucks
Would be hilarious to find a snorlax at a McDonald's
I found a charmander at tacobell
Found a magicarp at an aquarium
+pRoZ Crab I found u at your house and I've been watching u for years
+pRoZ Crab I wish but I moved to Atlantis
Starbucks advertising??!
this game is sooo not fair. People who live in rural area will have a pain in the ass looking for pokestop and gym.
I know! I have to drive or walk for two hours to get to a gym.
Mine is a Chick fila 😐
I feel ur pain...
I live next to a PokeStop! :)
But there are no gyms
there are so many pokestops nearby me.. I live in a small village so that's pretty cool..
In the south theres a church every hundred yards and every single church is a pokemon shop in the game. So thats pretty cool i guess.
true, Florida much?
+Zombiepm3 The All Around Gamer Georgia for me
Where I live, Mississippi, that is most definitely true.
This was an aspect when I played Ingress, too. Church = Portal. Especially in Florida.
Lmfao all around here in my area of NC. Imagine places like New York.
I hope they update on how you catch a pokemon.
I miss the time when you battle wild pokemon with your starter pokemon and weaken them before you can catch it. also the battle system needs to be greatly improved. it's a little bit linear.
"Eh yo n**** why the hell you in my turf?!"
"There's a f***ing Rayquaza in there dawg"
"Eh fuck that shit, that Rayquaza's mine!"
No idea why I censor
THIS IS THE STUPIDEST COMMENT/REPLY OUT OF ALL OF THEM IM SCREAMING THANK YOU SO MUCH

fist me daddy
nigga* fuckin*
When the North American release doesn't include Canada, because you know... Apparently we are no longer part of North America
Wow. Might as well cut out us northern states too, am I right?
+Synthetic Spark it is released in Canada I have it lol
tf is a n Alaska?
jk Canada and Alaska are awesome
Canexit
+JP can i exit
You can't battle friends or just people in general, you can't trade, there are no events such as the times square one in the trailer, you can't take out your pokemon. You can literally only catch pokemon and run a gym. I count the trailer as false advertising. I am severely underwhelmed and disappointed in how Pokémon Go turned out.
You're saying there's no events, yet the game has only been out for 1 day. There'll be events in the future, we just don't know yet.
Updates updates updates updates UPDATES
The game has been out for one day. Do you not get how a newly released game works? It just came out so wait for the updates
To all of you who just replied, I didn't wait a year for an unfinished game
Dude, don't you think they'll wait awhile before doing a major event. So, people could get ready? Just imagine, "Oh, Pokemon Go comes out tomorrow... and tomorrow Mewtwo will be at New York, for a raid battle... that's timed... and will be gone afterwards... see you guys tomorrow."
whats the point of criticizing a free game and wheres the talk of all the friends you meet while playing. Honestly Pokemon go is making exercising fun again and i love it.
you jog while playing pokemon or do you huff and puff after walking a quarter of a mile?
lmao i use my bike i only jog at the gym
AND it uses like NO data wheres the mention on that ?
exercising as in walking 30ft?
I wish it was out in uk :(
It told me that their is a legendary pokemon in this alley way I found, I shouldn't have went in the alley way.
What happened in the alley
+Many Minutes of Stupidity got mugged
At least you have a legendary Pokemon.
+darian candelario Umm. ok
+BlueDiamond yes I even enjoyed it a little
"we're sorry Pokemon go servers are experiencing issues please come back later"
Patience it's in early beta
+Mynewchampion then why is it already in the playstore
+yolo man because you can't tell where the bugs and and areas that need improvement are until you it is tested
You have to have very very good connection to play. I have to be right beside my router or using my 4G to play the game
+yolo man pokemon go works great on my phone
The only disappointing thing is the combat, which is REALLY, REALLY disappointing.
ikr
THANK YOU
+Drakos playR For what?
Exactly.. All u do is throw a fucking ball -_- if all you do is just throw pokeballs then that just takes away from the whole pokemon concept because it doesnt feel like you've earned that pokemon and thats how it should be.
+Alex hd Ryan They are making Pvp gyms
Wow, this channel has come so far. I have been with it since 7000 subscribers, and even though I really enjoyed the content, I never really expected it to reach a million, let alone two million subscribers. Congrats guys, you've done it.
I'm waiting for someone to have a car crash. The witnesses say "He yelled something about a gyarados, and then sprinted on to the high-way!
Already happened, lol. It was a pikachu tho
XD
***** Wait, someone actually was hurt by this?
+Cal Peterson Yeah hahaha check online. Some guy in Massachusetts caused a giant highway accident bc he stopped in the middle of it to catch pikachu
Yep. Just looked it now. Someone was playing ti on a highway. A quote: "If you wanna catch them all, you gotta risk it all." I blame you, Nintendo. Expect my steroid-induced lawyers to break your legal knees.
My Pokemon gyms in a graveyard. I found a raticate there...
Pretty nice reference there! I like it!

Does anyone realize that this is the first game that makes you GO OUT of your house?

same company and engine.
if I leave my house I will more than likely die of embarrassing cause of financial reasons
It isn't.
There was a game that came out in 2003, named "Boktai".
Your weapon was solar powered, so you had to take your gameboy outside.
1:35
"explore ur environment" while looking straigth down on the phone 50 out of 60 seconds
lol
I don't actually look at my phone until it vibrates telling me there's a Pokemon for catching
+Angelo Acosta I have never been able to get it to vibrate for me. I have the vibrate settings on both my phone and the app turned on. I leave the game running and simply turn it upside down inside my pocket... Complete silence. Walked nearly 2 miles and no notification.
Nintendo's excuse to make you go outside and walk. Hey, atleast i get fit playing it.
what better way to get fit than by playing a game that makes you wanna go outside
wii fit?
They failed with the pokewalker time to try again
ah the pokewalker year 6 in a nutshell
Excuse? If this is an excuse, it's the most satisfying and agreeable excuse I've ever come across.
Cathes Mew
*Walks off a cliff*
ggg
Only a god can cathe a mew. The rest can only catch it.

The fact that I have to have my app open all the time is a big killed for me :( I'm the type that HATES looking at the phone while walking or doing other activities. It would be 10x times better it if gives me a pulse or notification when a pokemon is close so I can take a look, catch it, or decide if I have time to catch it.
It's a major hazard too. I'm quite surprised they don't have push notifications yet because it would have been so helpful.
Send feedback
+Bianca Fernandez I agree. Hopefully it comes soon
You can pre-order the Pokemon Go Plus accessory for about $35 which comes in a bracelet (which you can adjust to a pin/badge to put on your backpack or something) which pulses and flashes when a Pokemon is nearby. This alerts you to turn on your phone and open the game.
There's already a feature for that. Go to settings and turn on Battery Saver; when you flip your phone facing down it will black out the screen but leave the game running and will vibrate when a pokemon is found in your area. Yes you still have to have the app open, but it's something at least.
How to save battery life.
1. Turn off AR mode it works better with it off anyways.
2. Go to game settings and select power save mode.
POwer save mode is activated by turning your phone upside down too!
Download your offline city map to almost triple your battery life.
how do i do that ?
Google it?
App store
can it be a turn base game it would be so much better
+101lolking agreed
+gameranx man who came up with the idea for tapping on the screen I'm disappointed if I was the one making the game I would go back to the game boy style of game play than there would be more competitive game play like just flip a coin for the person who goes first and have five or less Pokémon there pay me when they come out with a Pokémon go 2 lol
hope it updates.
and takes in what gamers and people day to make it that way.
Walking and standing by 5 minutes seems a good way to get robbed in my city
When u run outside in yr undies to catch a sparrow
Same
Of all Pokemon
+-Luisdubomdabees - what part of the Pokemon theme "gotta catch them all" do u not understand
Do not mean you have to just capture everything. Its even a Sparow....
+LT TurdMuncher All of it, pls explain
I live in the South Bronx. I don't really wanna be crossing gang lines just to get a Nidoran...
Same!! I live in the South Bronx too and I'm scared asf. Stay safe man!
drive someplace not there then.
Tell them they have a nidoran on their turf and they'll understand and let you catch it... garunteed.
They're gonna turn into Pokemon gangs soon. Then they're gonna be shooting each other over gyms instead of territory, using lures for ambushes, all sorts of crazy shit.
Get your Team Valor Homies and fuck them up.
This is awesome. Pokemon transcends generations. When I go to one of the Pokestops sometimes I'll stay and watch who comes by. You see some kids, some adults driving up or riding their bike to it, etc. All ages are enjoying this right now. Just saw a guy that was 35ish riding his bike 1 handed so he could keep a watch on the app. I love this.
woah, you're greatly underestimating Caterpie's potential.
Agreed
butterfree is dope as fuck
Yeah he beats coffin and ekans and meowth like a boss.
fuck me... Gyrados in the middle of pacific ocean... MUM GET THE BOAT!
I am going to croatia in a week ... Gotta catch em all C:
You don't find Pokemon based on location. I found a manky in the middle of the Venice canals and vulpix in the ocean.
+Herr Skillaura lolo i am drom croatia
Gulam I know, it was just a joke my friend
+Gulam you actually do. I was walking on a trail and i find a bunch of normal pokemon. As soon as i hit the beach, i start finding water type pokemon. I found polywag, parasect, magikarp and more.
It would be nice if Pokemon GO supported virtual reality
That's how you die
I don't know why, but this comment made me laugh hysterically
thats what i said to my brother when he told me about the game
+Fahad Aljaberi or just intentionally over dosing on sleeping meds
+Gamecore08 Yeah, but then you have a really good chance of survival
can't wait for the next pokemon go a few years from now, hopefully this is a "test" for a much better game to come in the future =)
its a beta, they can and will still upgrade this one
Why would they make a pokemon go 2 that makes no sense xD
They're probably just going to update the current pokemon go.
Well, my guess would be they add p2p features, and when this game goes to shit. They will just clone it like activision does for call of duty.
this is just going to get updates it doesn't make sense to make a Pokémon Go 2 ............
I thought I spotted a Jynx in the White House. Disappointed when I found out it was just Michelle Obama.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH
Did Obama actually turn out to be a Mankey?
Jennifer Manning that is very racist...
Jj Gerber That's why it's funny.
racism isnt funny at all...
It's just an elaborate way to get people to exercise, lol.
right...
loses 10 pounds
"SEE MOM VIDEO GAMES ARE HEALTHY"!!
It's just an elaborate ways to get more young plump fresh kids out on the street.
Uhh I mean *mom get the car we're driving around town
I don't wanna move and also it's not for my phone...*(
damn I'm wayyyyyy too lazy to play this
+Adolfo Ortiz losing 10 pounds from this game is good.
I chased a pinsir for 20 minutes. he despawned :'(
Lol
That messed up, I found 2 of them at my work with a magmar too!
Me with a beedrill
Omg I want a magmar, I just caught a 102 CP pikachu
Ikr, I'm pretty new to the game, and haven't gotten a mode of transportation so I've just been wandering around my street and yard, and there was this bloody Abba that I wanted, and I was looking forever! Till I gave up and caught a Horsea Instead....
You could lose your life. Be safe. Be smart. Or not..
natural selection will step in a lot
Don't Pokemon GO and Drive
ur dumb.
a charazard in the middle of the road let me step closer.
Brennan, It's "You're".
I don't know why they didn't include normal Pokemon battles and catching
Having to do a full Pokemon battle in the middle of a sidewalk or store or near the street makes it much more inconvenient and more dangerous.
prob be a direct impact on their actual pokemon game sales
then is useless, what the hell i have to do with all the pokemons i catch? i hope they at least put some vs mode with friends
Most likely would be really data intesive batteling other people fetching all that details from the servers
Actually there are types and two stats. Lol if you think pokemon is at all complex outside of competitive play. Pokemon is a casual franchise in general.
My uncle keeps telling me there's a rare Pokemon in his pants and thAt I should catch it using my hand rather than my phone app.
call 9-1-1?
Probably an onix
It might be a rock type pokemon!
Tell him you don't have the microscope to see it
Maybe it's inside his balls?
I live in the country near a small town, so I can be the leader of a small town
I live in a very very small town we have one store I can be the very best with no one challenging mexD
+Deloctian Plays I live in the country and Pokemon don't even spawn here lol
same haha, theres only 3 stops and one gym at the near by church, so i took that over. #blueteamop
BaileyCobban Ive only encontered 3 weedles and thats using the incent and also I have no shops or gyms with me time to pack up and live with my friend lol
thats rough haha, i just got a vulpex right outside my house gg
Can't wait for the update that fixes the servers...
ikr, the game crash on me once every 5 minutes, sometimes 5 seconds
lol easier said then done
It's cause of people using the apk version
fr thoe....
I don't know man, these days it looks like everyone expects a PS4 level of game in a fucking cellphone... it's starting to get annoying, it's like those people who whined when they found out that Smash 4 3ds was inferior to Smash 4 Wii u... does common sense still exist?
a game can be too basic, there are very nice apps out there dude
nope, people only say "WTF IT'S [current year] WHY ARE GAMES STILL LIKE THIS?!"
Yeah I know but I wasn't expecting a full pokemon experience when they announced Pokemon GO tbh, because it's a cellphone, there are things that obviously will have to get cut out
Even though the game is not even a GameBoy Pokemon game, there is room for potential. I think they rushed the game so it could come out early, so maybe in the future they will make improvements to make the game better
generalwerewolf
Yeah I can agree with that
Here in Italy Berlusconi's mansion is a Pokémon gym
Here in my town, pretty much every church is a Pokestop... I think the catholics are trying to trap me because they think Pokemon is satanic.
they can't be too pleased about this.
I think the Westborough Baptist Church is a Pokemon center.
Ready for some phonetically spelled, completely broken Italian?
"La vray-bay monjellay kwa-coza?"
Yay
actually,the Westboro Baptist is a gym that last I heard, is controlled by a fairy type clefairy
I can't wait until ur trying to catch a pokemon and it gets run over bye a pokemon
bye a car*
by*
You're*
+Chris Haggins lol you're is the same as "you are"
no fucking shit
for the battery issue, all you have to do is turn on battery saver and then turn your phone upside down, you'll know it is working if when you turn your phone upside down it goes to a black screen and the pokemon go logo is dim on it, while in this state you can still be notified when pokemon pop up by your phone doing the vibration, along with your steps being counted for your eggs. Hope this helps people with the battery problem.
kust give us a full official pokemon game on smartphones they re like the perfect device for this kind of game!
just*
You mean the games that they release for the DS?
Emulators
they will never do that...they won't make as much money
Look at the 3ds owners thinking they re smart for having money for an extra platform for games
Wonder if it's worth the data and battery... I'll give it a shot.
My phone is horrible with battery... Lost 28% in around 1 hour ;-;
+Megan Kuo I lost 100% in 1 hr
+julian workman wow, in 1 hour mine went down about 10% and about 10 mb.
KILLS BATTERY but it uses like 5mb/hr
+Zephyr what phone did you have and what was your brightness at?
I need Internet connection to catch pokemon but I need to go out side.... how
data
+Aviator ??
+Aviator yeah but some people like kids don't have data yeah they can use their learners phone but for the few kids who aren't trusted with a phone then it might be hard for them to play
+Goodperson FR Data plan for your phone
I caught like 12 pokemon in my house with wifi, but you can also use your data to catch pokemon outside
Tomorrow in/on the News:
34 year old woman tried to catch Pikachu on the Android and got ran over by the city bus.
Shout out TO EVERYONE WHOS NOT IN AMERICA... *cries in cornor
Same
on android it works worldwide
apk.
there are other countries
+ThemGames but i cant login anymore with pokemon club...
Beware, if you live in a rural area you are in for a real let down.
In that there are no gyms to be seen anywhere.
Good thing I live in a big city
I've only found like 1 gym in my town dude
Its awesome in San Francisco cause pokestops are everywhere because of the murals, and theres so many of them.....
They really look out for the small town folk, don't they. . .
WTF they didn't do the combat? What's the point?
The pokemon jump around and can do minor attacks to smack away the pokeball.
Exactly that is the question. Instead of using the simple to program well known combat they made some kind of bullshit.
I dont want to stop walking to engage in a long battle. I can catch pokemon while I am still walking and I dont have to stop.
The game is designed as a way to get people to go outside, exercise and meet people, and it gives a collecting incentive to do that. The gym battles are a decent mechanic that fits well with the game. I wouldn't mind on the spot pvp and trading, but it's still surprisingly fun right now.
Maybe an option in the settings would work? I don't know, what I had in mind was that, there's a setting where you can toggle on or off combat, meaning for those that want to, can turn it on, so they have to fight to capture Pokémon, while those that just want to catch and go, can keep that setting off. Just an idea!
I hope they add a feature where you can battle another trainer right next to you on the spot by sending them a request maybe? or even by eye contact. idk it would just be awesome to battle someone you meet and your friends
eye contact is a joke by the way for those who don't know
Combat is disappointing. I wish we could run this in the background, I hate staring at my phone while walking like I'm a zombie.
I just hope they do some updates real soon that do things like push notifications to save on battery and mobile data consumed.
if you use power saving mode, the screen turns off while you have your phone upside down, but the app still runs. So you can just put your phone in your pocket upside down and it will vibrate whenever a pokemon is near.
+TBrizzle01 they are. Its that Pokeball button accessory. It'll notify you whenever you encounter any thing. And you just press the button to try and catch the Pokemon or claim your pokestop goodies
What Robert said.
You can put it in your pocket and it will still work.
If you've ever developed an AR app, you'll know that it's extremely difficult to make it compatible with all the phones out there. They may have different camera resolutions. Some have better sensors than the other. Some have super power hungry cameras.
The AR really is optional, though (And a ton of people turn it off anyways)... So they could've released an AR-free version for devices without. Most of the issues are net-code and UI/UX related which tends to be an issue with most mobile companies, unfortunately...
Bought a new phone half a year ago, but It's not working. My friend's older model is though.
Weird seeing you here.
I really walked alot but all I did was catch pokemons.. I think you really need to be able to fight more or fight with your friends
Soon come
you can fight by going to the gym thats not your team
lmao bishop
I know, did it once but was kinda boring
Im lvl 7 all I catch are fucking rattata's and weedles and fucking pidgy's. everywhere.
Give it some time. There'll be trading, breeding, updated combat system, customizable gyms, etc. The games pretty much like it was in beta.
Is it available in the UK I can't find it... Probably because we left the EU
No annoyingly it's only out in the USA, New Zealand, Japan and Australia
+Josh Meighan ehm one of my friends is playing the game. In germany?
+Nick Leighman Is he by any chance using an Android phone?
if you have an android just download an apk
+Charles Sacramento okay I get that. I'm not really into this whole smart phone thing
thanks
I see one in the local strip club. I thought this was E10+
lol
Is it a Gardevoir? Hehe
***** Yeah JigglyPuffs singing career went downhill
iFunny?
Joseph Offenberger I have a trash windows phone
Y'know, you could make pranks with this......
IT'S JUST A POKEMON BRO! (GONE SEXUAL) (IN THE HOOD)
bruh.
Hey dont take pictures of me
Its a pokemon bro chill, theres a raticate in your face
top comment. they need to do it.
someone got shot so...
Almost hit by a car while chasing mee
a before you buy for Go! is pretty redundant, but i REALLY hope you make a BYB about the wristband coming out soon, i dont know what the wristband entails or how it acually works and i would def thumbs up an informative GoBand vid.
just be grateful you could play it at all
I cant play it yet here 😢
so much fun
if you have an Android, download it by apk mirror, just search pokemon go apk and you will find it
It's not worth it. I don't know if it's free it's not out here either. But the game is just an excuse to make you go outside and walk or possibly get run over by a car.
is that-?
+Epicman Zero this game is very fun
Trading pokemon? God now I really hope i dont get my ass kicked or robbed for my pokemon
thats why you carry knify, its a steel type and its supereffective on everything!
mods need to nerf it.
mhypersonic i do but i am too young to carry a gun.do not want to be out drawn
+mhypersonic haha
RedStar im pretty sure knify is a steel and a blade type.
I dont get how you confused knify for shooty.
Preach
So with the fun of finding Pokemon without the fun battle mechanics
They will be adding it i think
I'm pretty sure battling others is when you fight
I found a Seadra in my toilet...
Where's the weirdest place where everyone has found a pokemon?
I found an ironic one which was snorlax on my bed 😂
I found a rattata on a mouse trap
well that's actually not so surprising if u think about it ;)
My camera doesn't work. But I found a horsea in the middle of town.
Someone found a metapod in a strip club. No joke.
"Be the leader of youre city" dude,i live in São Paulo! Thats like the third biggest city on the whole world!!
Become the master of Sao Paulo... become the master of the world.
Then it should be even more satisfying to be the leader of it
nope,there are more than 10 cities bigger than SP.
You think that's bad, try living in Tokyo. Literal wars will begin to that city over this.
Better get started then sir
The game really just doesn't feel finished.
It's not. It's in beta
+spongedog Not anymore its not, now it's officially released.
+XSoulbound __ it is released, but that doesn't mean it's not in beta
+ZionSquad That's just blatantly wrong. The beta is the version before the official version is released to the public.
+XSoulbound __ there is somethin called open beta, still publicly opened, like h1z1.
Apparently in order to get my starter pokemon i need to go into my pool
your lucky my starter was on my roof for some reason
+Garrett “elmobarretthawk9100” MAGISTER lolz my friend's was on an active volcano
+Harlan Valdes why the fuck is your friend living next to an active volcanoe
Cole Tague Don't ask
+Worminator Hawaii*
I could never be as brave as you lol. Carrying that S7 Edge around with no case is very brave. Props to you lol
