Same. Have only seen a handful of Charmanders around here, and haven't seen so much as a shadow of Charmeleon or Charizard on the nearby list, haven't even seen them on a tracker yet. Have caught many of the other starters, we need some dang Charmanders around here.

HR Go Reddit page listed a few spots for them but I question what they call nests on that page, they claim the Pagoda is a nest for Squirtles and I barely see them there

Here is what they said for Charmander

Charmander and its evolutions - Ocean View Fishing Pier, Thirsty Camel, Oceanfront (Neptune's Park, 24th St. Gazebo)

Thinking of checking out the Oceanfront soon, or at least OV this weekened since it's so close to me. OV can be a little sketchy though so I will do that during the day lol.

Anecdotally I've seen quite a few Squirtles in that stretch from the Pagoda down to Town Point Park, but that's just me. Think I caught two or three just last night down there. From the chatter around I missed out on a Lapras though...


The thing with the HR Go Reddit is it isn't updated too much and posts here indicate nests change every month or so. Think the data is outdated at the moment. The only bonafide nest I know of right now is the Clefairy nest at Town Point Park, have caught like eight there in the last couple days.

A Lapras??? Ugh lol....

I need to start walking into Downtown when I go to the Pagoda instead of just sitting there. I do see some nice stuff on Nearby when I get out there sometimes.

Mygawd, another shitty 10 km egg. So far I got Onix, two Hitmonlees, an Electabuzz with a fighting move and just got a Pinsir with once again a stupid fighting move. -_- I want useful Pokemons.

Don't go into that parking lot of the condos adjacent(to the south) to the Pagoda, some of the residents were out in full force last night over people trespassing to catch a Dratini, and eventually the cops came out and patrolled a bit. People were grumbling about it, but technically the residents are right, it is private property and it is behind a gate, even if the gate can be circumvented.

Oh damn lol, a bunch of us rushed over there to catch a Wartorle the other day when I got there lol. It's a gated community (if I am thinking correctly) so I understand why they would be upset.

Damn, would be hard to find enough candies to power one up lol.

You and me both, I have one 10k Egg right now but I try to stay realistic with my luck on eggs :p


Sooooo probably another Eevee....

I know right, I guess eggs are just a nice bonus for stardust and candies. Finally got some decent Pokemons to take gyms with. Managed to take over 3 gyms and claim the coins, before someone else took them over.

Just follow the instructions on Pokemonnearby and make a dummy account to get the password. More workers help everyone using the radar out. :d

Or every week or so—the Botanical Gardens were swarming with Voltorbs last week, but last night (they do Thursday events) I was surprised to see Exeggcutes had replaced them. Ended up with enough for a third Exeggcutor unexpectedly.

Feels like I'm at a point now where the only reason to open Pokemon Go is a) because I'm going to visit a nest and specifically intending to play the game, or b) to leave it idling while collecting egg distance. Just having the game open while commuting to work feels mostly pointless now, I don't even bother catching 90% of the trash out there because the 12-candy pokemon take way too long to catch and are just annoying in general. All I'm really doing is milking pokestops for 50XP and basically who cares anymore, it's not like getting to level 24 will do very much except make pokemon even harder to catch.

Feels like we need a really big update yesterday. Gen 2, maybe, or special events, or SOMETHING. The game has barely evolved in two months and the only real draw anymore is trying to fill the pokedex, which really just requires ridiculous luck or a ton of grinding right now.

I'm starting to hit a wall with this game and everyone in my area seems to be cooling off as well. One gym stayed unoccupied for almost three hours last night and that one usually turns over every 20 minutes. I also threw a weak Hypno in a different gym as a joke and he's still there over 12 hours later. Niantic needs to implement trading or battling at some point because right now there isn't much to do anymore. Spending a week in Europe and not coming across a single Mr. Mime was super disheartening as well. That almost broke me, lol. Now I'm pretty much just grinding for 100 IV pokemon and hatching eggs when I do turn on the game.

Are there still some countries waiting to get this game? I know that has always been the priority for Niantic.

BIG GLITCH!!!

No warning message when you are training above your trainer level. It takes your resources but doesn't level up the mon.

And there's a bug on the bug report page so I can't send in a bug report... Saying the "review known issue" box isn't checked...

kinda dont want them to put out trading yet i think they should put in trainer battling or something gameplay wise to make you want to trade then once they have more gameplay systems in place launch trading because right now as it is once i get a full pokedex im done

Is there seriously no fucking way to track pokemon? I don't get it. When are we getting a new system? I'm tired of walking aimlessly around to never find anything but rats and birds.

There is. The in-game tracking system works just fine, even if it doesn't give you any hints about the direction you have to take.

I wouldn't say it works "just fine"

The methodical way of using it takes way too long, and it assumes that you're free to walk in any direction without houses, etc. blocking the way

Pokemon GO update has new secret features and BIG changes

Pokemon GO's latest update has a number of references to features that are not yet active. Today we're having a peek at a variety of elements that will likely be launching in the game within the next couple of updates as they're already a part of the released game code. This includes references to trading Pokemon, catching Legendary Pokemon, and notes on new items that'll be released in the in-game store.


New Store Items

The Pokemon GO store is relatively limited at the moment, allowing users to purchase incense, lures, egg buckets, and some expansions to Pokemon holders and backpacks. In the very near future, we'll be seeing more items here.

"Cool" Incense and "Floral" Incense can be seen in the code of the newest version of Pokemon GO. As with everything we'll be mentioning here in this article, these names wont necessarily be on the front end of the game, instead very possibly just here as a placeholder for the final name in game.

Code in the newest APK has Egg Incubators marked as type 2 or 3, and we've not yet seen type 1. Either that type was removed from the game early on in development, or there's a new type of Egg Incubator on the way.

Trading Pokemon

We've known that Pokemon would eventually be able to be traded - just like the Nintendo handheld console games - but we've seen no reference in the game's code. Until now.

Four clues suggest that trading is coming very soon:

• Trade Search
• Trade Offer
• Trade Response
• Trade Result

It's likely users won't need to be immediately next to one another to be able to trade. Something like leaving one's Pokemon at a Gym to battle on their behalf may be in order.

New Legendary Pokemon

Pokemon like Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres have been spotted in the code of the game. They're in the game, too - just not quite released to the public. We've known about them, as well as Legendary Pokemon Mew and Mewtwo, since before the game was released after Beta.

Now we've discovered another stepping stone between here and the special events in which these Pokemon will be released. While before we were only able to see "Activity Catch Pokemon" in the code, there's now reference to "Activity Catch Legend Pokemon."

So-called "Forts"

Mention of "Forts" in the newest code for Pokemon GO made us think there'd be a whole new category of location in the game soon - however, our most recent analysis suggests that these are just references to either Pokemon Gym locations or Pokestops, where applicable.

Code for Forts includes "Deploy Pokemon" and "Recall Pokemon" - which either suggests that users will be able to take Pokemon back out of a Gym they've already assigned them to, or just references a Gym battle, in which a Pokemon can be recalled to deploy another.

Buddy Pokemon

Notes on "Buddy Pokemon" can be found in this newest update. Reference to "Buddy Candy Awarded" and "Buddy Walked Message" - so we wouldn't be extremely surprised to see something like Pikachu following our avatar in Pokemon Yellow business going on - though probably without the animation, to save on battery.

A tiny baby Pokemon following you around all the time, getting happy, growing closer to you day by day?

Sounds like... Eevee evolutions for Gen 2, doesn't it?

Google VR

As we discovered back in March of this year, Pokemon GO will have a virtual reality component. The Pokemon GO app file contains a folder called "VR", inside which can be found two folders: platform and Cardboard.

This Cardboard folder contains files which reference Google Cardboard, aka the name for Google's virtual reality platform before it changed to Daydream. Codes are the same. VR is coming!

Yep. Not to mention despawn times. It works in an open field, but there are too many different types of urban layouts that the triangulation method disregards that would welcome even a slight hint of direction. Thankfully they are already working on something better.

Tales from Pokémon Go:

I was in my car in a parking lot near a gym and there was only one Pokémon there so I was just gonna claim it quick and drive off. I added a Snorlax and was about to start the car, but suddenly I realized someone was idling behind me blocking me from backing out.

Guess what he was doing. Yep, he was attacking my Snorlax; what an asshole. At least park your damn car FFS, there's open spaces everywhere. Rather than indicate to him he was blocking me, I just let him finish his business and waited till he was gone. Then I killed his stupid Slowbro and took the gym back.

Victory.

Update on my bad luck hatching eggs:

I'm level 20 and I just got like five 2km eggs and they were:
3 Magikarps, 1 Zubat, and 1 Pikachu (None were new to register on Pokedex)

Then I hatched three 5km eggs and they were:
1 Doduo, 1 Digglett, 1 Ponyta (None were new to register on Pokedex)

And it's been like this on the last 3 weeks almost a month or so. Zero new pokes hatched to register on the pokedex and ZERO 10km eggs so far. I haven't gotten a single 10km egg since I begin playing. I'm done with egg hatching :'(

Unless you're in an open field and happen to know the exact spawn time of the Pokemon I'm pretty comfortable calling the current system basically useless.

New types of Incense sound interesting....I could see them giving you the chance to buy stronger incense to attract more rare Pokemon but of course charge a lot more for them. So instead of Pidgeys we will get Pidgeottos and Raticates :p

...hate me...
Hatched a Exeggcute and a Growlithe today, neither are new but both are rare to me and it let me grow much nearer to their evolutions (both of which I don't have yet).

Can call it a good day.

10k eggs are the absolute worst anyway. Especially if you are in an area where Eevee are in the top 10 of most common. I only want 5k eggs anymore.
