champion Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I'm level 20 rn. waiting til i have some more ready-to-evolve pokemon before mass-evolving with a lucky egg active. 50k xp needed between levels now though lol. @sporks, the grass/leaves animation means there's an increased, but not guaranteed chance of a pokemon being there yeah the 'nearby' tab is broken right now, kinda sucks.

muggiwhplar Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 The pokemon have fixed spawn points and spawn at certain times. They usually last for 15 min before disappearing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I still don't get how tracking works. When I see a splash of grass, that means there's a pokemon there, right? Caught a pidgy, pidgeot and another damn rattata last night on a short walk, almost level 3 now.It's a pokemon spawn point & I hit level 20 a couple days ago and I'm still at like 15k xp. Waiting until I have 45 evolutions ready to go before I pop a lucky egg (I think I have like 15-20ish, but I can't check cuz the servers are down).

Hedgehog Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 They're banning pretty much everyone who teleports far away from their home, and most GPS spoofers (i.e. the ones used by devs to test their apps) are pretty easy to detect. But there's no real way to detect if someone teleported to the pokestop half a mile away from their house. Especially cuz they only sample location data every 30 seconds, which ends up being every 60 seconds or so because of server lag. There's enough error in their measurements that you can get away with quite a bit. But cheating in a game cuz you don't wanna walk around is neckbeard as [bleep]. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 The actual logic isn't that bad. Figure out how to interface with the game (which shouldn't be too hard, people have already done that), then it's just pathfinding and spoofing the GPS. But you're going to run into a lot of trouble with networking. There are a lot of ways to [bleep] that up and get all of your clients banned.

Hedgehog Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Man, I just spent 3 hours on campus sitting at a spot with quadruple lures. Met an old friend, made some new friends. Great time. I love this game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Yo ring world, if you wanna play around with the pokemon go APIs and learn a little about how games work, I have a project for you. Use the live pokemon locations & pokestop data to create a desktop pokemon game with real world data. I.E. do everything you planned on doing, except maintain game state on your servers (or locally) instead of using Niantic accounts. It'll be a lot easier than working around anti-cheat systems and you'll still learn a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riku3220 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 This battle system makes me want to vomit. I was training at my team's gym that had a ~700 Beedrill and ~750 Scyther using my 920 Flareon. Easy right? Hell no. It barely made it through the Beedrill and I couldn't touch the Scyther at all. WHY IS MY FLAREON GETTING DESTROYED BY A BEEDRILL?

Hedgehog Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Poison jab does 15 damage every 1.5s while defending, which is 10 DPS. Ember has 9.5 DPS normally, so it has 11.4 DPS against bug types cuz super effective attacks only do 1.2x damage. That should allow a beedrill to be competitive against a flareon. So the real explanation: Flareon sucks balls in this game and type advantage isn't enough to save it, and CP barely matters Not that a beedrill should be anywhere near as good as a flareon, but that's why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RpgGamer Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Flareon definitely sucks. Do you have a chart of the attack DPS rates? Quote Quote Anyone who likes tacos is incapable of logic.

Hedgehog Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 New rankings after the update: Dragonite > Arcanine > Charizard > Kabutops > Exeggcutor > Nidoking > Golduck > Starmie > Venosaur > Blastoise > Vaporeon > Flareon > Cloyster > Wigglytuff > Golem RIP Golem, it was a nice run Chansey is now the worst fully evolved pokemon (literally worse than every pokemon except Magikarp). Onix is still really bad, you'd be better off using a rattata. Edit: for defending gyms: Lapras > Poliwrath > Dragonite > Snorlax > Exeggcutor > Slowbro > Venosaur > Muk > Vaporeon > Rhydon > Vileplume > Nidoqueen > Arcanine > Victreebell > Charizard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgehog Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Link to the chart? I'm guessing true DPS takes STAB into account I evolved a starmie today since they're the second best water Pokemon now, and it ended up with a crap moveset. My 800 something one has the best moveset though so I gotta try it out against some high level flareons tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champion Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 i realized that i don't even really care about combat stats and IVs and all that stuff much at all like, generally if you're level 20+ you can take control of a gym by yourself anyway. it's not worth the extra effort to me worrying about types and movesets and getting a 10% combat difference at best by evolving the right pokemon, etc i just wanna catch em all. and on that note, i have 101 in the pokedex now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I'm just holding out for dueling. That's where the real fun is & I'm at 76 in my pokedex. There's like no variety here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
