Me and the wife both have this on our phones, purely to keep the kids entertained of course. She installed Tuesday and has got up to level 5 so was pretty pleased with herself. Sat on the train this morning with her and she spins a pokestop and sits there and watches everything float away. I was wondering how she had got to level 5 and only had 20 odd pokeballs. She was gutted when I pointed out her schoolboy error

Kinda bad game design that. I only found out from a mate that you don't even need to pop the bubbles, you can just close the stop and get the items that way. Makes driveby Pokestopping a lot easier*

Yeah, open spin and close, no need to tap them.

I have no idea how she managed to have only 20 pokeballs then. She must be flinging them all over the place.

Couple of days. Mine are all back in bank account.

Annoyingly Apple went on a refund spree and also refunded some in-app purchases on the same invoices for stuff I use daily and was more than happy to pay for. Spoke to both of the developers and offered to send them the money again but they both said not to worry and glad I enjoyed it. Feel pretty guilty about that.

As it turns out App Store refunds are anonymous so devs don't know who has got a refund.

Mines just gone In

And yeah I did the same accidentally

Disappointed with my Hypno now

Congrats on that Magikarp! Shame Gyarados isn't as powerful as it first seemed from what I can tell.

All mine are pretty rubbish, need to go catch more.

Shame I've got a looooong way ahead of me before I can evolve it! I think a few pokemon took a nerf during the last update. Vaporeon was hit quite hard and but some are suggesting that Snorlax is now more powerful than Dragonite if it has the right combination of attack moves.

Got yourself a nice Magikarp there and some rarities I can't seem to track down like Omanyte and Hitmonchan.

Snorlax, Dragonite and Lapras are the main 3 for attacking and defending.

You can safely get out of your box, that gif is probably accurate.

[SystemParanoia]

What's the relationship between weight and size?

The profile above has a Vaporeon weighing only 1.22kg, and there are two Hypnos within 200CP of each other weighing 73kg and 20kg at similar heights.

Or am I looking too much into it and the weighs are just there to fill in gaps?

There was discussions of whether they effect HP and agility, but I think for the most part they are just meaningless.

Mine is here.

I'm a bit confused by it! I thought my 817CP Starmie wasn't too bad, but it apparently has an IV of 40%?

I've also got a Psyduck with CP307 on 11%, and another with CP369 on 84%!!

Given that anyone playing with just the game is blind to all these stats (or can you see them if you're in a gym?) how the hell are you supposed to know what Pokemon to train up?

I have no idea what they mean still and I'm looking at them.

Apparently my 600ish CP Bellsprout is 15 attack, defence AND stamina. Wtffff.

How is prestige earned as I notice you have none?

Is it gym battling?

It's all Min/Max'ing, the average player doesn't need to know, and realistically it's not going to make much difference.

It would be interesting to see just how much difference say those two Psyducks when the same CP would make.

The 1-15 is just the range of stats available, from what I can work out each Pokemon has a base stat, and that can then have between 1-15 added to it.

Not enjoying this half as much without pokevision

Yeah I've lost a lot of interest without pokevision..

They'd be wise to let it operate.
