Bots are better than you

Man, reading the thread really makes the urge to dl and install the game via APK hard to resist. Come on, what's taking you so long to unlock the game in Europe/Germany?
Is there some trick to getting passed the loading screen after putting in my login information? I was able to play a quick bit yesterday when I first started, but haven't been able to login since.
Correct. Alternatively, as I was saying, the mainline games are a wonderful battle system held up by a skeleton of nonsense.No, the GO battle system is simple and terrible. It's classic smartphone gaming affair of just repeatedly tapping and sometimes dodging. There's no skill involved.
I have had this happen to me, i was trying to buff a gym this morning and it only allowed me to have 1 pokemon, when you got to tyhe selection screen before battling only 1 slot was shown.You should be able to use more than one?
The Trainer Club system is down so all things related to that: Pokémon GO, Pokémon Global Link, Pokémon Trading Card Game Online etc. are down

I've got battle simulators if I really want to pokemon battle, this does everything else better for me compared to the main series.
Ah, guess it's my own dumb fault for not using Google for a login.

Every time before that i have had multiple so im not sure exactly what the issue is.
Sans spamming the log on? Not really. Tried playing today but couldn't connect. When I finally did, I couldn't load any info on the map. When I tried fighting at the gym, the connection stopped mid battle. On my way home, it finally started working but I had to quit because I was already out for an hour trying to get it working.

Better story? Better world? Better social aspects?
Yay what to take my post out of context lol! I was saying you can meet people in real life by playing the main games as well.
When it comes to story we're comparing crap to nothing, so that's pretty darn subjective I'd say. Some people would certainly prefer having something, even if it is garbage, over objectively nothing, so no matter what somebody would prefer I wouldn't judge them too hashly either way.
As far as world and social aspects, yes, I can easily say that this game has the mainline series beat. By a significant margin for both, honestly. Checked out cool places I'd have never explored and met people I'd never have met without this app. Playing pokemon has never done that for me before.
no actual player interaction.
This game has next to no actual social aspects though. It has no multiplayer, no actual player interaction.
I'd say this game has more player interaction than any game I've ever seen.
It encourages people to meet up by rewarding going to monuments and the like.
Social interaction is built in to the game's dna.
This game has next to no actual social aspects though. It has no multiplayer, no actual player interaction.
I figured this might be the case since it was a same colour gym.When Training you use 1 Pokémon. When battling an opposing team's gym you can use 6

This game is the epitome of barebones. It has many issues. The actual gameplay is thin. The only actual fun from this game is from stuff you could do anyway...it just sort of guides you
This is coming from someone who managed to find ways to enjoy Pokémon Dash. I am probably one of the biggest Pokémon fans in the world, and I'm disappointed by this game and I didn't have high hopes to begin with
In game, maybe not, but it sure as hell encourages actual talking between players who inevitably meet up at pokestops, gyms, or just where rare pokemon spawn. I get that not everyone is a fan of this particular type of interaction, but I assure you that it is just as legitimate, even if it is harder to track.But the game has no actual interaction between players.
Honestly I'm not the best at presenting arguments I'll admit that, it's one of my faults. I can tell you have stock in this though so I'll leave you alone lol.When it comes to story we're comparing crap to nothing, so that's pretty darn subjective I'd say.

No I took your post entirely in context maybe you just presented it poorly.
Listen I'm tired of talking to you so I'm just going to stop responding now I hope you have a nice day.

*Edit*
I always get your pre-edit posts I'm not going back and changing mine now I'm sorry.
The recent games adding the PSS have more social interaction than this does.
And saying it's better than mainline Pokémon because it's helped you find new areas of your neighbourhood, really? I mean, in that case would any spinoff of any game ever that made you walk somewhere be better than the main game?
I think perhaps your definition - and a lot of other people's - of what makes a game good might need to change in the coming years.
You have to click on the stop and then click on the small empty rectangle above the picture and it gives you the option to slot the module in.So, found a Lure Module. I'm next to a PokéStop, trying to use the Module but always gives me the message, that this Item can't be used here. Bug?
If the game had any form of player interaction for those circumstances such as trading or battling, I'd agree that it could be great. However, it does not and it's fallacious to say that it has good player interaction just because you bump into other people playing.

I just used my free one from leveling up and had to work it out myself
I'm not sure I even understand what you mean here. Are you implying all games are going to become AR-based walkathons?
No, I was politely implying that there are more than one type of game made for one type of person and that the vast majority of people who play this game haven't touched a mainline Pokemon game in years since the series has stagnated for the last decade with minor adjustments with each installment. The definitions of "player interaction" and "social aspects" are going to change as mobile games come into their own. It's actually just inevitable.
No they aren't
They have different combat because this is a spin-off game. Battles in main games can go on for up to an hour. This is a mobile title so needs to be streamlined
The game wouldn't be very fun with traditional combat. The main draw is that it's a real-world, exploration game. Finding new things and moving on, while allowing other players to find the same things and have just as much fun with them is important. Putting in the actual battle system would bog down each encounter and put more emphasis on skill than the social aspect.
I'm glad you feel that way. I agree with you. ;P
Think a braindead Punch-Out!!
Hey now, discovering new monsters is up there too. But yeah its not automated, just really simplified.
For reference, when the game works I am enjoying it. I already think this game is "good", so I am definitely not hating on it. What I don't think it does, yet, is beat the mainline games when it comes to world, battles, player interaction, story, presentation, all that stuff. And given we won't see a mainline Pokémon on mobile unless something goes drastically wrong for Nintendo, I think that will be the case for a while yet.
OT should literally just say Outside. Would have worked much better imo
Pokémon Go |OuT|-side
Are the servers still dead? I can't login neither via Google or PokèClub
(I'm from Italy if that actually matters)
I want to go out for a walk but can't since I'm waiting for a package to arrive.
But I wanna be the very best. ;_;
Yep. The Trainer Club account system is completely down. Logging in via Google does go through but it s spotty
Pop an incense, the pokemon will come to you!
I've heard some people have had great results with them.
Heh, seems like the Trainer Club is more problem than anything.
You may be receiving 502, 503, or "Oops!" error messages when attempting to sign up for a Pokémon Trainer Club account, or when attempting to sign in to the web site or a game that uses your Pokémon Trainer Club account.
This is a known issue and we are working to quickly resolve it.
Thank you!

Yeah. They finally put a note on their support about it
