I keep thinking of uses for this technology. Collection agencies could scatter these things around bars. People pull out their phones and little thug creatures pop up saying, "Yo dude, you can't afford another beer, you still owe me money!"

Imagine making a paranormal activity app based on this. As a bonus, have it emit high frequency sounds to make the pets freak out so people really think there's something there.

For some reason I still can't get it to work on Data for me. The only way it works on Data is if I start the app on wifi and walk out of range, or if I VPN to my house from data, but my VPN only allows certain IPs through for security reasons. Wonder if you can get a static IP for a phone.

You have to spend money to play the game? WTF?

No, while spending some can help it's basically a freemium game. You can play and get max level without spending a dime. Spending a little will help (increase bag size for example), but it's far from a pay to win type game.

110% yes. You will run out of Pokeballs 100% of the time. YES you can go to Pokestops but you only get like 1-3 pokeballs and that is NOT enufffff and now you need around 10 pokeballs to catch cp10 weedle. So yes you need to fork out money to play this game. PokemonGo is going to die soon IMO unless they change stuff like this. Pokeballs SHOULD be unlimited and make Pokeballs harder to catch WHICH is fine because you have unlimited. Again shit like this never gonna happen because Ninante never listen to the community. I give this game 1 more month. After that I say 50% player base will quit the game. So sad I love this game aswell

SO UNTRUE! I am level 24 and I have spent money. Sure if you have 1000000 pokestops in your area maybe you can get away with it but who the hell lives around 100000 poekstops???????????????????????????????????/

I must not be playing enough because I have like 76 pokeballs. It's still sketchy for me though, half the time the game won't load unless I'm on wifi. My office happens to have pokemon, and there's a pokestop not far from my house so those are pretty much the only places I've been "playing".

The GPS reception is super sketchy on my phone too, so even when it does load it sometimes can't figure out where I am. I might be due for a new phone soon...

I live around a gazillion pokestops but I have an addictive personality, so I reckon I'll just start hoarding pokemon for no damn reason.

There really is no such thing as controlling a gym for any significant amount of time unless you're way out in the boonies where few people are. Gyms are designed to allow stronger players to be defeated rather easily by lower level players.

Gym fighting is basically free. It does require revives and potions but even someone who only casually visits Pokestops will gather enough to compete.

imo, the gym process is rather convoluted and needs to be revamped to be more compelling. It's the weakest part of Pokémon GO by far.

Like I said now it takes around 10 balls to catch cp10 weedles so how do I get more balls? Money ofc.
I really like this game so I don't really care if I spend alot of money. I enjoy it. :twisted:

Gym fighting is pointless right now. So many bots and hackers with cp3k dragonites. I just wish they dish out perma bans soon and not later...
beside gym fighting is not end game anyways pretty pointless right now. IMO it's all about leveling for now and we could all hope they releasing something good in the next update.

Maybe your phone is defective, never takes more than 1 ball to catch a 10 CP anything.

I am doing fine on pokeballs at level 16, never bought any. Sometimes it's important to show a little discipline. Do you really need to catch that 100th zubat? Probably not. Save your pokeballs for useful pokemon and you should have plenty to go around.

That said, I did put $10 into the game because it's fun and I want to support the devs, I upgraded my item limit and bought some egg incubators.

Once you pass level 20 it gets harder to catch. You do need to catch everything. You need dem XP and stardust for end game. Ofc if your a casual you don't really care about XP and stardust but I want to be the very best.

After level 20 it is increasingly hard to catch even the usual 10cp pidgey. It is not uncommon to use up 5 or more balls (even great or ultra balls) to do it.

And yes, for some people it is important to 'catch them all'. There's not a lot of things you can do to gain XP, and XP requirements increase exponentially. Catching any pokemon for the 100th time (for candy or to evolve later) is a significant source of XP.
