When you evolve an Eevee, do you get to pick or just see what you get?

The outcome is random.
NICE catch!
I love the little impromptu groups and subgroups that form too. When people are all chilling at a stop and something is nearby and a couple people go off together to hunt it, but other people have already it. Or a team forms to walk over to a nearby gym and take a shot at it and everybody wishes them luck/curses their Team. Really great stuff.
Yes, but I'm a little confused. Are you using the APK and not seeing anything, or not playing?
Yeah it's cause the servers. It's still a little buggy.

LMAO XD
USA server is more closer to them to get a better ping, how can Australians think that ? XD

I believe the loading ball is there to signal the game is collecting a small bit of info from the server to keep your location up to date (who controls what Gyms ect...) and populate Pokemon in the area too. It should appear a lot if you are in an active area.

Man, the landmark data they're using has to be fairly old, as my housing development is only 5-6 years old but there's nothing here. No Poké stops, no gyms, nothing. We even have a small park and a pool, and a larger park and an elementary school nearby.
It also has landmarks / art installations that are no longer there in person.
Luckily my alma mater that I still visit frequently has three gyms and a dozen or so stops, so I can stock up on Pokeballs there. I just am not crazy about the game enough to go 15-20 minutes out of my way to the big hangouts in town for Pokémon hunting.

Pidgeys are the key to leveling up you character. Easy to evolve, and loads of XP (if you evolve with a lucky egg).
EMBRACE THE PIDGEY.
Well, a church is already using the game to fight XD

I've got about 50 Pokemon (mostly Ratatas and Pidgeys) that are ready to evolve. Tonight I'm going to go sit by the lure near my house, pop a lucky egg, and evolve them all with breaks to catch anything good that pops up.
I really wish it was easier to tell on in which direction the pokemon are. There's apparently a bulbasaur near my house but I have up looking for it because one minute I was close and then the next I wasn't and it was just all over the place. Eventually my battery was dying and I had to go home.
Ingress is less than 5 years old, haha. Shame the park isn't one though, most that I have been to are stops. Other than that, housing developments aren't usually full of them.
I almost wish there was a premium/pokestop item that would give you the indicated direction of a pokemon you have selected for 15 minutes

i kinda also wish the candies. were type based (lightning, normal, water, etc.) but they really want me to grind. i want to power up my pikachu.
Oof. Flareon is a bitter pill. (Unless you like Flareon. Then woo.)
I caught a Clefable while getting a bagel just now. Thought it was a Clefairy and when I realized it wasn't I said, "Oh shit a CleFABLE??" out loud.
AKA pretty cool guy right here.
Do you not get a good GPS lock at your job? That should work unless it's a REALLY short distance. People have reported seeing (small) progress just from GPS drift while sitting still with the app open for an hour or so.
Hey, have you used one of these! I'm really interested in how practical/safe they are. And if you can recommend a brand in particular? Trying to put together a post for Pokemon trainers who bike a lot like I do.
I have been wary of them for safety reasons. But I've seen quite a few people biking with their phone in one hand and it HAS to be safer than that, lol

I'm going outside and not coming back until I catch something with at least CP 700. Sick of being level 10 and my max pokemon only having 500 CP.

I have a very similar plan tonight although I also have a couple eggs to hatch I want the Lucky Egg running for.
Hopefully, I can basically bypass Level 11 altogether and start getting that Great Ball goodness.
It's off amazon, Roam Co-Pilot Universal Bike Phone Mount.
It's being delivered today, I'll try it this afternoon or tonight and try and report back.
I normally don't care for Flareon compared to Jolteon or Vaporeon, but in my experience, it's stronger than my Jolteon in terms of attacks. Sad news.
I saw another one but I like this one way better.

I can easily imagine hearing the Transformers bumper tune playing over this
When evolving Pokemons
I'm using my next egg on
-7 Pidgeys
-4 Rattatas
-2 Zubat
It gives a mad amount of exp
Yeah that's what I was thinking of last night. It's just way too fucking hot where I am at the moment to be wandering around everywhere looking for these things.

Oh nice, that's a great plan. Thanks!
Thanks! It's very reasonably priced, but no Prime ;_;
If you ave easy access to Pokeballs then throw away your Pokeballs. I've never had more than like 30 on me at a time.
Build up some eggs to almost hatched and candy for evolution, pop the Lucky, hatch eggs, evolve a zillion pokeymans, profit in XP rain
Same here. We are only just getting past a heat wave in my area but its still so hot and humid that I can't be walking for a super long time to find them. After a while of wandering and battery starting to die I just have to head home. 3 step pokemon are just not worth it at the moment
Unless you're taking on a lot of gyms and losing Pokemon in the process, Revives seem to be an okay item to throw away.

Whilst I am enjoying the game (not out here yet but using a workaround), I want to see the following updates (not including server issues as they should be sorted anyway)
-Battle and trade with friends (this is what Pokemon is about!)
-Integration with the portable games could be cool, like importing your Go Pokemon into the game at the start
-Expand the Pokedex (I assume this will be a logical step as 151 is a smaller number to integrate rather than 721)
-Reward collectors and battlers separately, I may not like to fight, but do collect so give me something for that
- Featured events, so say for example at the launch of Pokemon Moon/Sun, if you go to buy the game you can try to catch a legendary at the store

A rehaul to make it harder to take over gyms?
