New Mobile pokemon game, will update with details as they are revealed on the live stream. You can catch Pokemon in the "real world" and battle and trade with other people with the game.

2016 Release.
Mobile (iOS and Android) "real life" Pokémon collecting, battling and trading.
Takes inspiration from the mobile game Ingress.
Collaboration with Niantic, Nintendo and The Pokemon Company.
Trade and battle Pokemon with other mobile users.
Go to places in the real world and catch Pokemon. Example given is "Imagine a Squirtle hiding near the water front in San Francisco"
Changing up the series instead of completely holding to the conventions of the series.
"Pokemon Go Plus" - a Bluetooth enabled wristband that uses a led light and vibration function to notify the wearer of things going on in the game. Such as a nearby Pikachu in the real world.
Has a button in the center to throw a Pokemon ball.
No screen. Just a simple device for being notified if a Pokemon is nearby.
Pokemon Go Plus is not needed to play the game. Just an extra peripheral.



Yupp. This is life now. I will battle the shit out of every 6-year-old with this on their phone/tablet.

New info and pics

http://nianticlabs.com/blog/pokemon-go-first-look/


We’re thrilled to provide a peek into Pokémon GO.Pokémon GO represents the next generation of Niantic’s “Real World Gaming” platform. This platform combines mobile location technology and augmented reality to create a unique game experience that motivates players to go outside and explore the world around them.
Players will explore their surroundings to find and catch wild Pokémon. Certain wild Pokémon only appear in their native environments; for example, Water-type Pokémon may only appear near lakes and oceans.


Players will walk to hatch previously-acquired eggs that might reveal new Pokémon. Eggs and other special items such as Poké Balls can be acquired at PokéStops - located at interesting places such as public art installations, historical markers, museums and monuments.
Yes, there will be battles. Players will be encouraged to join one of three teams in order to compete over the ownership and prestige of Gyms. They will do this by placing their captured Pokémon in a friendly Gym or by battling with an opponent’s Pokémon in another team’s Gym. Gyms - just like PokéStops - are also found at real world locations.
As previously shared with you here, an early user field test will soon begin in Japan while the game is still in active development. Features, available languages, design and overall appearance are not final.
We’re excited to reveal more in the days to come.
— The Pokémon GO Development Team









and here's some gameplay footage from sxsw


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHgCmnVvfTI

Sounds like battling will be a part of the game, but it will be as set "Gym" locations. Odd. Well, we'll see. I still wanna play the fuck outta this.

My mate managed to get this on android and it told him to go below a specific statue that's on top of a random building in some shithole near where he is in Glasgow. It's not even a well known statue, you barely even notice it if you walk past. These cunts have done their research. Mental.

Hero!
July 7th, 2016, 9:22 AM
Did he change his country in the app store or something? That's something i've heard that people are doing, which is putting a strain on the servers elsewhere.

Took a look around here at work and there are no pokemon here, damnit. I may have also walked around the parking lot a bit looking for some, but there was nothing there either. The GPS mapping is insane, though. The building I work in is secluded off a main road and has a bunch of small roads leading to our other buildings and the whole thing is mapped out nicely. I'm gonna take some time later tonight to see if I can find a Gym set up in my city.

Can I challenge other people around me to fights? And do I win their phone if I beat them?

I saw a person who had to be using the app today, and it seems like a no brainer for it to tell you other people are playing around you for that very purpose but I dunno if it does.

good luck, broski!


So Pokemon pop up when you're out and about? Is that not a bit annoying? Can you save a battle for later if you come across something?

No, you basically walk about with the app open and it lets you know what's near. You initiate contact, but the Pokemon don't stick around so you either catch them then or they're gone.

Bert
July 8th, 2016, 7:31 PM
I think that's only partly true. I saw an Evee pulling into work at a stop sign yesterday and initiated contact but didn't want to try to catch it while driving so I waited until I parked and caught it. That was only maybe 100ft or so away.

I probably missed out on some because I was already in an encounter though.

The church near my house is a pokestop so I went over there after work and there was another guy driving around the parking lot trying to get it so it would read him as close enough to activate it. I rolled down my window and was like you too huh? He was like yeah and held up his phone, and then I told him I thought you probably had to be in front of the church so I drove up there, and got an egg. Now I have 3 but only 2 incubators.

Why is this shit in KM anyway? Where's the MURICA setting?

All the gyms near me are blue or yellow and they're too high level for me to take on now, but their time will come. :evilgrin:

I don't really 'get' this beyond catching Pokemon to be honest.

Bert
July 8th, 2016, 8:19 PM
I don't really 'get' this beyond catching Pokemon to be honest.

You go to pokestops to get pokeballs, eggs, incubators (for the eggs to hatch them), and incense (to attract them)

There's also other stuff like great balls and super potions when you're a higher level.

There's also gyms around which are represented by 3 colors you choose from when you reach level 5.

6 trainers with 6 pokemon of the same color can hold a gym. Or you can beat them and take it for yourself. Obviously easier to hold with more people.

You get shield power every day for holding each gym which gives you stardust (used for leveling the pokemon) and pokecoins which you can use to buy shit in the shop instead of spending real money.

You get 3 of x Candy when you catch x Pokemon and 1 when you transfer duplicates back to Professor Willow.

It takes a significant amount of candy to evolve a pokemon so you need a bunch of dupes. I currently have 22 Rattatta candy and I need 25 to evolve it to a Raticate.

If you don't want to have to wave your phone around (and possibly look dumb) when in an encounter there's an AR switch in the top right which changes the battlefield to a generic background.

Or did you just mean you don't know why anyone does anything other than just catch pokemon?

wardy
July 8th, 2016, 8:21 PM
No that was very helpful cheers. What's with the Pokemon on top of the gyms?

darkhorse
July 8th, 2016, 8:46 PM
Those Pokemon defend the gyms. If you want to claim a gym, you have to fight those Pokemon. If you win, then you pick one of your Pokemon to defend your gym.

Judas Iscariot
July 8th, 2016, 8:58 PM
I thought the gyms are defended by six Pokemon from the team, though. So are you fighting your own teammate if your team runs that gym to show your dick is the biggest to everyone?

Rancid_Planet
July 8th, 2016, 9:16 PM

Six pokemon from Six different trainers.

I went to my college campus with my friend because we had nothing better to do and we walked around for about an hour and a half and I scored pretty big.

There was a red gym but I didn't feel like I had anything powerful enough to add to help us hold it.

Caught this as I was leaving the parking lot though.
http://i.imgur.com/Fbuvi0k.png

I haven't sold all my dupes and seen what I can evolve yet but I caught so many pidgeys and rattata's I'm pretty confident I'll have a pideot and raticate.

There are pokestops all over campus so I have 50 pokeballs still. Best place I've found in my area for hunting.

Hatched the first egg I got and it was a fucking caterpie. :angry:

After walking 2km I was hoping for a Geodude at least.

My gf has something wrong with her car where if it's in drive it moves about 5mph without you pushing on the gas at all. Turned out to be perfect for cruising around the empty school parking lot.

Servers went down a few times but I hatched a geodude and a bellsprout. Evolved the bellsprout into a weepinbell.

She only downloaded it because she found out if you kept walking away from the original 3 starters you could pick pikachu instead. :lol:

Are you familiar with things like geocaching or Munzee type games? It's basically that but with a hugely popular IP thrown on top. You wander around, find a location and instead of filling out a log book/adding a trinket to a hidden cache/scanning a QR code, you swipe your finger on your phone and catch Pokemon.

Fro

I've been geocaching for fourteen years and have found thousands of them all over the country. You would find more satisfaction doing that than Pokemon. But the great thing about geocaching is that you can do it along with this Pokemon thing, and kayaking, vacationing, hiking, or just screwing around. I love it.

Had a few hours to kill before dinner tonight so me and my gf went up and down the main street in town which had like 10 pokestops and 2 lures next door to each other.

Caught a metric ton of Dodou and was able to get a Dodrio.

I fucked up when it came to evolving my Beedrill and my Butterfree from the Metapod will also be low level but oh well I already have a Pinsir and a Venomoth, I'm not trying to be Bug Catcher Bert.

So I should just say "I" even if I wasn't alone? I would say me and my friends if I was with my friends.

I haven't said "missus" or "better half" at least.

We spend a lot of time together. :dunno:

Going back to the college campus tomorrow to do some hunting with my friend.

I bet there will be other groups of people there too. Hopefully with some lures.

1200 cp means they're probably like level 14 or 15. CP of the pokemon increases as your level increases.

all the starter pokemon are there wherever you start the app, since you need to pick one as your starter right away.

If you run away from that battle 3 times, then you can get a Pikachu as a starter. Fun fact.

Almost 10 KM of walking today. Not too shabby. Caught a shit ton of Pokemon and hit up loads of spots. There's a library near me that's has 9 spots on its grounds.

My local town centre has around 10-15 PokeStops within a quarter mile radius.

I know what I'm doing Saturday when we go for our shopping trip.

So I should just say "I" even if I wasn't alone? I would say me and my friends if I was with my friends.

I haven't said "missus" or "better half" at least.

We spend a lot of time together. :dunno:

Going back to the college campus tomorrow to do some hunting with my friend.

I bet there will be other groups of people there too. Hopefully with some lures.

1200 cp means they're probably like level 14 or 15. CP of the pokemon increases as your level increases.

It's amazing how panicked people get over this shit without realizing that bad shit can happen anywhere. Everyone should just stay in the house so we're all safe.

I saw more people at the park yesterday than i've seen since I was a kid. It was pretty awesome. People dropped lures at a couple of stops and we hung out and caught pokemon and shot the shit for a bit. If someone had wanted to mug me they could have, but they could literally mug me at the park any day.

Like anything that is popular, people will be quick to give reasons not only why they hate it or avoid it, but also why no one else should do it either.

I'll admit the idea of people walking off cliffs to find pokemon is funny, but this is a positive step to get people outdoors. And games using gps technology and being location based is a good way to lose weight. I have been doing it with geocaching for years.

I do geocaching in very quiet spots during all times of the night and day. I spend my workday in a car and spend lots of time in quiet spots (in two of the United States' most dangerous cities), and I would feel that is worse than this. I can see no benefit of waiting around for people looking for randomly spread out pokemon. At least no more than waiting for someone coming out of a 24/7 store at night.

Hero!
July 12th, 2016, 6:49 PM
And the gps tracking they used to find that spot can also be used to track them down.

These same fears come and go with every new app. We literally have an app so that strangers can drive us around. I remember everyone calling uber super dangerous at first and there were lots of stories of rape and other dabauchery. When tinder came about, all the fears of rapists and killers and robbers were everywhere. Before that it was shit like foursquare and Facebook and how we check into places, which could invite bad people to find us. Before that the fear was using your real name on MySpace and Facebook and how people would track you down and kill you.

Hold your finger down when youve got the pokeball ready and there will be a colored circle (green/orange/red) that shrinks in size. When it's large, throw the pokeball and aim right for the pokemon's head.

Ya know, Ive never taken it taht far, but maybe go for it? Be the best, like no one ever was.



Hold your finger down when youve got the pokeball ready and there will be a colored circle (green/orange/red) that shrinks in size. When it's large, throw the pokeball and aim right for the pokemon's head.
you throw when it's big? i thought it was when the inside circle was at its smallest? according to the help center that the app itself directly links to you have the best chance of capturing when the target circle is at its smalleat diameter.

I always throw when it's large and I've down pretty well. Maybe cause it hits when it's smaller

The circle changes size? I thought it was just a target circle to indicate the bonus spot for extra points for a nice/great/excellent throw?

Just had my first run in with a cop over this. It was inevitable. It was still daylight out and I was run off by a blue light special who told me "the park is closed after dark". Yeah and right up until now that wasn't an enforced law. The gate doesnt even get locked at night. I mean somewhere in the town charter I'm sure there is a 200 year old law banning people named "Kevin" from owning a cheese sandwhich but that doesn't get enforced either.

This was one thing when I was a kid. But I'm in my 30s and still getting harassed for trying to play a cell phone game while sitting in a parked car in a parking lot that is generally full until dark. And one I've been at during the night several times and never had one word said to me.

My guess, the locals have bought in to a facebook clickbait story about Pokemon Go being a secret recruitment device for ISIS.

I actually started up Ingress(the precursor to pokemon) today. When traveling around when you see clusters of white dots (exotic matter),that's a good indicator there are Pokemon there. I like Ingress. I've never been a Pokemon guy, but the collecting bug on it has its claws in me.

Never played a geo game, and this week I've tried 3. Wish I'd gotten in on Parallel Kingdoms when it was active. It's cool to see all of the stuff people did on there.

One of my friends works for EMS and they had to call the cops on a ton of people. Said there was 21 people in their parking between 9 cars blocking pretty much everything in the building. They refused to leave so they had to get the police involved.

It's only a matter of time before something happens with this game before a mob comes after it. :lol:

I had a banner day today. I caught a Pikachu, captured four gyms (though I lost one before I got home), and moved up two levels. The server problems are extremely frustrating though. The app lost connectivity while I was attempting to take a fifth gym and there was a Charmeleon on the nearby screen that I lost when I had to restart at one point. I'm kind of excited for this weekend, as it's my town's annual festival. It's the busiest day of the year for my tiny corner of the world, and the heart of the festival is a park that has two gyms. I'm going to try to level my strongest fighters up as much as I can tomorrow in preparation for Saturday.

It is so hard to maintain gyms around here without fellow yellow team members. Everyone is fucking red or blue.

That because anyone who picked yellow is stupid. To be fair, anyone who picked blue is stupid too.

Got back from a show tonight and was walking from the train when a couple of terribly drunk guys were going on about how, "Pokemon is bringing everyone together, man, it's beautiful."

I caught an Aerodactyl.

But his stats are shit. CP61

How am I supposed to level him up with only 2 Aerodactyl Candy?

And the only way to get Candy is to get more Aerodactyls? I hate how that is the only way in getting Candy to level up/evolve.

Are there any tips to getting higher level Pokemons? Most of my shits are lower than 100CP.

Same goes with my Dratini... I want to evolve him but I have no candy. I need to catch 40 fucking Dratinis to evolve the FUCK to a Dragonite???

Hypno is CP154, which is the highest CP I have at the moment. What does any of this mean?

Spedizzo
July 15th, 2016, 10:44 AM
it means he is shit, but what it actually means in terms of gameplay I don't know

because once you go into a gym all of the gimps have pokemon cunts with CP of like 800+

but all of my pokemon have the same CP or less than your Hypno so fuck me

they need to add a lot of shit. just catching pokemon and battling at gyms will get old

like trading, battling friends, maybe seeing other people walking around on the GPS, obviously more pokemon, more strategically placed locations

I shouldn't be able to find a Dratini in the middle of a city... it should be by water only IMO

but it is what it is

Millions of Bulbasaurs around me, a bunch of Squirtles, but I haven't run into a single Charmander.

Spedizzo
July 15th, 2016, 1:26 PM
I have never ran into either of the 3 in the wild.

Oh my god... I walked around the city on my lunch break and it was easier to find someone NOT playing Pokemon Go than playing.

Literally people of all ages were outside walking around downtown Charlotte in 90+ degree weather catching Pokemon. All of the Poke Stops had the hearts around it (which I assume is the Lure) and people were just sitting there.

I must have caught like 30 Zubats... a 400CP Pinsir, and a couple other random shits.

Are Zubats so fucking common at Lure Poke Stops? I wish other more random shit would appear. I was hoping for a Growlithe or whatever.

But anyway, my point is this Pokemon Go fad is insane that people who work in corporate (such as myself, but I am an immature fuck) are all playing this in the masses.

I was walking around, and some little kid asks me if I am playing Pokemon Go. I embarassingly say yes... to which he points and says "there is an Articuno over there." I walk over and obviously found nothing. Was he taking a piss? Articuno isn't even in the game right?

he literally in an innocent way said: "there is an articuno over there"

I had to dig deep to even remember which one was Articuno

little cunt, he shouldn't even know who Articuno is. The original 151 Pokemon are before his time

Your level in the game directly influences the cp strength of the pokemon you catch. I'm at 14 and I regularly catch oddishes at +300 and Pidgeys at +200. And it makes an exponential amount of difference when evolving. I evolved a pokemon with only one more cp point than the previous one I evolved of the same type. Yet the evolved version was over 30 cp points higher. So it really matters. Just keep leveling up by catching every last one you can.

so basically no point in using your Stardust/powering Pokemon until you are a high level? since thats when you catch level 300-400+CP pokemon anyway? what is a good level to start powering pokes?

Yeah you need to catch all you can and level up as fast as possible. Once you get to level 12 you will really start to see stronger pokemon. Also you get these things called "great balls" that are supposedly better at catching things.

pidgeys only take 12 candies to evolve and give you 500xp each time. If you use a lucky egg to double xp, you can get 1000xp points per pidgey. So you just catch a metric fuck ton of pidgeys and then do it all at once. Took me up a few levels. I got all the pidgeys throughout the week and a bunch today at the park as people threw down lures.

Go to the shop and in the top right corner you can get your stuff.

You can only get stuff once every 21 hours, so take more gyms or stick your guys into ones with open slots.

I wonder if during the next few years, to keep things fresh, they release each generation of Pokemon every year or so. Instead of old Pokemon disappearing, however, they are integrated. That would be a shitload of Pokemon.

There's just so much potential there with this game, my only concern is that surely they'd have to hold things back to prevent this from overshadowing the main series on the Nintendo handhelds.

Like you said, if they add new generations every few years, maybe add trading, battles, etc, you wouldn't be far off from completely replacing the main series.
