Is the only way to find these 'hidden' stats to hack the game and look at the code? Is there a way we can get specificly good stats?To the casual user yes, but we can see by the detailed stats that people have been data mining and finding this info amongst the code of the game. Once you have the numbers it's easy to figure out which combos are most efficient and useful with a simple algorithm
Well, this is Smogon.The game has been out a week and already things are getting competitive. That was fast.
Yeah. Where I live, there's plenty of Drowsee and Horsea, and the occasional JynxPokemon Go has been released in Canada!
/me yays
Has there been anything announced regarding this?Apparently you can e-mail the Pokemon company/Niantic with proof of disability, Pokemon come to you so you can still play even though you're unable to walk and catch them. This is just a *rumor* I've heard but it sounds really nice so I'm going to believe it for now.
This explains why the map for me isn't even close to were I live (as in, it's not even in the circle that is highlighted). I also have the three steps bug at the moment, worked fine the first few days, but not since. I'm still not sure how that step thing works 100% to be honest.There is no solution given at the moment so the best thing you can do is sit tight and hope that the Pokemon you're hunting is close to you.
There's a theory going around that the GPS coordinates switched to city level which is why everything is 3 steps even though the mons are probably really far from you. This is why the in-game profile maps on the Pokemon are either white or blown up in terms of distance.
I'm late, but isn't Pokemon GO using Google Maps to provide the map data? When I used it before, Google Maps often shows me in some ocean initially until GPS signal is found. I suppose it's something similar to this.Okay, does anyone else experience a glitch in which your avatar ends up in a place that you aren't? It's happened to me a few times before, and it's usually nothing major (like it'll show my avatar across the street when I'm really in my house), but this time...

I'm in the ocean???
I completely agree on the interaction distance for Pokestops, they are literally just sending you items. I don't see any reason for them to not have a wider radius. It would probably help ease some fears about trespassing if they increased that distance as well.DHR-107 said:This explains why the map for me isn't even close to were I live (as in, it's not even in the circle that is highlighted).

The biggest problem I have with Go (and yes its really annoying), is that I feel like the distance to interact with Pokestops is way, way too small. It's far smaller than the size which you can interact with Pokemon over. Why is this the case? I have a stadium next to me, which is locked 90% of the time, and I am not sure you can actually get close enough to hit the Pokestop because its not at the front gate, but it's at the Entrance to the building (which is at the opposite end of the site). Seems ridiculous this is the case for such a huge arena that the Pokestop interaction distance is less than 10 meters. If you were sat in the stands, you couldn't interact with it for instance.
On the other side of things, at least there are a good number of stops in the City (I live on the outskirts and only have 3 Pokestops near me) and there are three gyms that I can see from my desk (but obviously not interact with). One of those has changed hands probably 3 times this morning, going from Yellow to Blue to Red. It also runs pretty well on my shitbox of a phone which is nice.
On this point, I feel like people in cities have a massive advantage over those people who live out in the countryside. There are fewer Pokestops and I am not sure if the Pokemon distribution is any different at all. Surely the further from a City you go, the more powerful/rare the Pokemon should be? Seems silly to gimp people in that way. City people have more Pokestops, which means being able to catch more "trash" mons to level up one in particular. Especially as Pokeballs cost a decent amount comparatively and you can get 5~10 from a Pokestop. If anyone can say if this is right or long, please let me know!
Honestly; the game is really interesting, but its almost unplayable at the moment. The GPS sometimes doesn't link up properly with the amount of distance you've walked (seems like it would be easy to see if you did x distance under y time and compare it with a "maximum speed"). This makes Eggs pretty difficult to hatch. I'm not sure if steps count if the app isn't open (like you can't have your screen locked or anything) which I think is pretty silly. It nearly always takes me two attempts to sign in (I can live with that at the moment). There also seems to not be a huge distribution of mons (I cannot wait for other gens to get added, GenWunners be damned). All I have here is a lot of Magikarp (which I'm good with) and then most of the "generically" common mons. Hell, Spearow and Caterpie have eluded me so far...
Same problem with me, you'd think they'd put some rare ones out in the bush, or at least have some distribution AT ALL. I have to constantly use insense unless I drive the 20kms into town.As someone who lives in rural Australia the game is next to unplayable. Only one pokestop in my town, and I'm lucky to encounter one Pokemon an hour. They don't even spawn within walking distance of my house. (And for the hopes of rarity in the bush, I'm up to level 6 from a day in Sydney and back home it's still just pidgeys/ratatas/zubats)
I got you fam. Read belowIs the only way to find these 'hidden' stats to hack the game and look at the code? Is there a way we can get specificly good stats?
Yes. Idk about Zubat, but generally, ghost types like Ghastly can be found more at night, water types can be found more by water, grass types around green landscapes, fire types on sunny days, etc.I need to get more levels under my belt to get my wild encounter CP up a bit more. I'm barely at level 7 and having trouble getting anything with even 100 CP right now among Com Mons, much less anything particularly interesting to put on a Gym once I do.
A couple mons I like having but lack candy to Power up: Cubone, Eevee, Gastly.
Any truth to rumors of sub-location or time of day affecting things like? Like Zubat/Gastly at night or Water Pokemon around lakes/ponds?
