I want to play this, but the battery life issue that Kotaku's reporting worries me. For everyone here using it, have you noticed a significant drain?

 

[PMS341]

I just signed right in with my main Google account with the downloaded apk. Still works for me this morning.

Bans are still up in the air, it seems.

depends on what you count as significant? I lost about 10% in about ~20 minutes of use. I'm also able to charge my phone at work, so it didn't bother me personally.

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

Just got banned damnit :/

Absolutely. Makes my HTC One M8 pretty warm.

Sorry to hear that. What region? Was it the downloaded apk? What kind of account did you use?

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Is this only gen 1 Pokemon? Every Pokemon in these sceeen shots is from gen 1.

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

Sorry to hear that. What region? Was it the downloaded apk? What kind of account did you use?

Im in US and i used a google account and yes I downloaded the apk

 

[Chille]

How do you know if your banned? also how do you even find the pokemons? it says there near me but can't seem to catch anything

 

[KingBroly]

Like...I don't...get the point of this.

I'm supposed to go places to catch Pokemon, but it's just...dumb. The designs are overdone. The battery is a massive drain. Some of the locations for stuff are completely off. It just seems like a designed-by-committee game.

 

[jmizzal]

Just got it, bout to check this out

Their reaction to people wanting to play their game is to ban them.

Wow. Your most dedicated audience and most likely to buy coins, too.

Classy.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Played yesterday and got 4 pokemons....

Now.... I can't find nothing. Even the Church down the street is not appearing anymore. I was planing to pass there quickly to do the poke center tutorial.

Servers must be getting hammered... the pokeball on the corner left of the screen keeps turning every second now.

Which is funny I just bought some coins too its bullshit.

 

[Bamboo 竹]

Welp, I got banned too. The good thing is that I picked the worst starter by mistake: Bulbasaur.

Is there a "You are Banned" message or something stating this?

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

Is there a "You are Banned" message or something stating this?

No it just doesnt allow you to do anything.

 

[xCaptainCanadax]

This is disappointing to hear that they are banning.

 

[KingBroly]

So there's apparently a Pokemon in the following locations:
- In my neighbor's backyard
- In the middle of the road in front of my house

So this game is trying to get me to:
A - Tresspass on private property
B - Risk getting run over to catch a Pokemon

 

[gweemz]

Are we sure this is a "you are banned" thing, and not a "servers aren't working" thing?

 

[Bamboo 竹]

You can't find ANYTHING in your map and your shop is empty, even though you could see elements on both before.

 

[Chille]

I still need to know how to find the wild pokemon, says there nearby but cant find them

@Bamboo my shop is empty but there is things on my map still

 

[Bots are better than you]

Hm, didn't really expect them to actually ban players in regions where the game isn't officially released.

Glad that i'm actually too lazy these days to do the APK dl and manual installation stuff. (Yes, it's not difficult or hard, i'm just that lazy)

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

Its not letting me move, buy anything, do anything

 

[InfiniteBento]

Im impatient as hell but id rather wait than get banned ;(

 

[wwm0nkey]

Its not letting me move, buy anything, do anything

You sure the server's aren't just fucked? I'll still fine

Wow are they really banning players in regions where it isn't released yet? Wow

Have you tried logging out and logging in again? Maybe that could help, I don't know. Would be pretty shitty if not.

Try force stopping the application, I just did and the shop is back for me after it disappeared

 

[shas'la]

Can someone explain Gym battles please!

 

[gweemz]

The game is not out in America yet so I would wait until it officially comes out to see if you were actually banned. To me your issue seems like a server connection issue.

 

[-duskdoll-]

It's incompatible with all of my devices as well.

 

[KingBroly]

Can someone explain Gym battles please!

I want someone to explain how the game works, period.

 

[Chille]

Same, Nobody will answer how you catch things, I have 103 pokeballs yet nothing appears to be catchable on my game

I don't know. But some posts in here are talking about getting banned or something.

WHAT IS FIREWATCH POKÉMON GO?

 

[Hero Prinny]

Aw still not out in the US itunes store😔

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

Well I force stop it and it looks like it was a server issue.

I think the throwing Poke-Ball mechanics are legitimately terrible.

 

[Samaritan]

I cannot believe they are banning players who were too impatient to wait for the game to be released in their region. You're literally taking a shit on your most enthusiastic and engaged audience; what ass backwards logic that is.

 

[AerialAir]

Miitomo PLUS PokéGO incompatible? What has my country been doing to deserve this?

Spoiler

right, the slavery thing back in the 1500's, but we're sorry guys

No one is being banned. It's just server issues. Though they might geo-lock at some point

I guess I have over-reacted by signing out and uninstalling....
