@Jeronan Here's the tip for hax/cheat free EXP gain: Catch every Pidgey/Weedle for evolving, find a spot where you can set 3 Lures at once, and buy few powerbanks to live through the Lures. Then luckyegg the heck out of it.
Thanks to that, people here got level 17 in a launch week, while I was at 7. And most folks don't know that pokevision even existed. Niantic included slow level cap, so you will catch up with others eventually. Happy gaming.
@Alshain01 There is a thing called Pokemon Compass for Android. It works exactly how the radar worked and should work now. The only thing this software goes beyond GO's radar is showing the remaining time. You may want to use it if you enjoyed the game, while waiting for a better official fix to come.
@Jeronan World and streets in games are smaller, and when you have seen a pokemon, you know exactly where to find it and usually you can get into that place in no time. What's more, those pokemon will never ever leave that spot (unless it's a roaming legendary or swarm/timed event or Feebas). Oh, and evolving is easier, most of the time, as well.
The closest to what GO can compare to Core series is Kanto's Safari Zone. Where there were few limited areas and you had only a vague clue what will appear (1% on Tauros), had a time limit, item limit, and where a chance of catching a pokemon was ridiculously small. Safari Zone was mainly RNG luck game, and so is GO now.
In beta the distance worked as meters (in the trailer you see similar way to measure the distance), they replaced it with footprints in full the release (which worked for about week), and then the 'bug' happened. And because they can't fix it easily now, they removed the feature entirely.
In other words, they wanted us to go outside and track pokemon in real life actively. Using the radar was the intended way to play the game, it was a feature. But since the tracking doesn't work, the app feels broken now. And people get refunds for that, because this is a valid point. They paid for something that turned out to not to be what was advertised.
I do not approve excesive hacking and spoofing GPS is shady. But without the tracking sites, the game cannot be played as it was intended to, right now. Tracking pokemon is fun, wild-goose chasing is not.
There wouldn't be so much grief and salt if the radar worked in the first place.
Because the main feature of the game - and the main source of the fun and reward from the game - was broken and later removed, people turned into 3rd party tracking sites.
Those who live in the cities have easier life as a pokemon will pop eventually. But imagine being in a rural area, where the nearest to you spawning spots are ~1,5 mile away radius. You would have to walk (or rather: run) 4,5 miles if the first spot didn't spawn a pokemon. I doubt you will make it to the second spot on time anyway so there is no reason to catch the pokemon at all. You may as well try camping at one spot, hoping for a good spawn (note: in rural areas there very few Pokestops to put Lures too!).
With pokevision you could learn the spawning spots quicker than by trial and error (people will learn those anyway), and judge the distance and see if you can make it. Without walking blindly and wishing for luck.
I can see how it could negative impact the game, but in my opinion, as long as the in-game radar is not fixed, they should leave the radar/tracking sites live.
@Yedaself As I mentioned in earlier comment, look for giveaways and raffles on the internet. That is a solution, if you don't have friends in supported countries, or don't want to pay on Ebay.
@Tsurii Darkrai codes were around for a while. You might have missed them but I think they still haven't hit their expiration date. So there's a chance for you to grab one. Search for giveaways on Facebook or other social media.
@DarkKirby I think they wanted to recreate the 'slow' level cap in Ingress. That way many newcomers could level up quickly to the level 20 and stand a chance against veterans.
@Timppis I know that cremation is one of the better solutions. But better solutions is not always possible because it's the money (look at mutilated chikens or how they create ham) and sometimes deep regional-social traditions (cases of FGM, non educated populations or any extremists; also both: animal poaching) what drives the world and human actions the most. As long as the two points are not fulfilled (safety and regulations), you will have hesitant or negative reactions from people that were raisen in European culture (not to mention people in central Europe, who often associate crematory with holocaust).
If there are people who want have their relatives buried in a common "death ground", then let them do it - death is harsh and those are their relatives and their memories and the cementery is already there. If you want to change that, you must educate the people and wait for the changes to happen. Either way, all growing cementeries I've seen were in places which were either forgotten by god (it will take like 200 years to make it a city) or where you cannot build anything anyway due to laws or unique envirorement. Here where I live, cementeries, saved portions of older forests and they are now enclosed by concrete. And while in new fastgrowing settlements crematories sounds like a better alternative, old towns and cities will use their cementeries simply because they had had the space allocated years ago, sometimes even before the modern transport was common. Remember that city infrastructure cannot be changed, unless you want to destroy some households, roads and historical places; city layout evolved and was fluent during the years and what you got now is what it is. With the cementeries or not. Most of the time it's not waste of a space. No one even thought the space will be needed back then.
@Timppis Yes, I was hoping you would pick cremation. While surely more efficient and removes risk of biological contamination caused by the decay, you should remember that a) regulations regarding the air and mercury pollution should be introduced first (people will abuse the system without the rules), b) there is not enough scientific research to prove that living near a crematory influences health (and people don't like living near something that is uncertain). Don't forget that various cities in various countries were built before the modern cremation was the thing, and many began as small villages - meaning that most of the cementeries are historicaly placed areas anyway with no option to enlarge, and some of them have high historical values now.
Lastly, there may be dead people burried in those little spots, but those dead people have alive relatives who still mourn their deceased family/friends. If not for the dead, then give some respect to those who are alive. This is why you shouldn't play at graveyards.
Hey, no problem, comment section should be used for discussion after all.
Yeah, they had to make remakes of RGB. Technological cut between gen1-2 and 3 made old pokes unavailable. The easy fix was using an existing engine and already created plot and world to throw a remake and save some time and money.
I wouldn't mind revisitng Johto either, but that's unlikely to happen. HGSS is compatible with 6th gen, it's still fresh. (And how to solve the music problem? Revamping it again or leaving untouched?).
I think there is a possibility for DPP remakes (I dread that idea tho), maybe with some twist. With VC GSC, with ability to trade to gen 7(8?). If I was GF, I would wait for hardware (NX???) advancement to throw something better than gen 6/7. Like: it was clear that Hoenn remakes won't come during DS era but 3DS sounded more likely - and ORAS happened just as I thought.
Since I already reached level 20, I'm going to play it slowly and steady from now on. It's Pokemon and also one of the two apps on my tablet that I actually invested some time in them, so I won't leave it that easy.
Let someone extract the sound files so we can all hear it all nice and clear and judge what he says exactly. I hear "kampf" and "count in" but that's just me and I'm not native English speaker.
@Indielink OMG, then I misunderstood the term! I thought it means a meeting of a group of people from the same team, defeating a gym simultaneously. I was concerned that forming bigger groups will soon be a must, while lone people (like me lol) will soon have harder time at beating gyms. Thanks for claryfing that for me.
@Whopper744 You can claim your coins as soon as you put a pokemon in a gym - you don't have to wait 21h. You only wait after you claim the coins. For example, if you have 3 gyms nearby you can quickly claim them/throw a poke and immediately grab 30 coins before they'd gone defeated (althrough I never managed to claim more than 1 gym at once but I guess it will work as I described).
So instead of seeing 21h as a possible crossing fingers pay-day deadline, see it as a coin-grab ban
"changes which will make it harder to poach gyms from rival teams" - As I am like the only person in my team here, the news aren't good for me. Good bye those hard earned 10 coins at 5 AM before all other teams wake up...
@SaKo I had the same idea but they did had the silhouettes... meaning they had the art already made. My clue is that it wasn't final (like color schemes, skin tones etc) and they waited for approval.
@Octane Hmm, I looked up in Google and I found that Legendary Pictures are US based. They may have what it takes to make it. Meaning that the distinctive cheesy eastern CG will rather not be in the movie. I still feel that 2018 is a bit stretch date. Late 2018 is more likely to me.
@PaperMario64
"this feels like way too many countries to add all at once!"
Because it is exactly how it looked and it is better to introduce new countries slowly instead of putting everything at once to avoid server issues, if you don't have good servers/more servers. The guy was concerned if the servers are capable of taking that amount of people, and then he is giving a peaceful hand to you and you are still calling him names. If you wanted to play the game so badly, you could download apk, like the rest of the Europe did. Raging and insulting random people over the internet who didn't do any harm to you won't do any good, you know.
Edit: and good grief, @Ooyah is a new user, way to go to welcome a new user on NintenoLife.
@Lunarsickness Thank you. Yet, [at the specified time in the video] they only mentioned adding a connectivity between GO and SM. No word about plans for GO Plus (the peripheral) being connected with 3DS.
GO plus uses bluetooth to be connected with a smart device and to send data about your position and possible pokemon/pokestop between the two, and you use it instead of the device itself - kinda like a joypad for a tablet/phone. None of those features 3DS has. It would either require another peripheral for 3DS or a dedicated connectivity system on NX just to read the data from GO Plus... Which would be still useless utill they release GO on 3DS (impossible) or NX - where the Plus can connect. Without GO, Plus cannot be used further, as I assume it won't store in game 'save' data (exluding maybe data signed to a player - Google account etc, to forbid trading and borrowing the piece between two people). Therefore, if GO will go out of the business, so will GO Plus.
The compability between main series and GO is more likely to happen and I won't deny that, especially after hearing Masuda's translated words. I guess it will only work as some kind of ingame bonuses and maybe even a pokemon transfer (as Nintendo is very picky and censoring with Pokemon series on their devices).
I found a big flaw in GO. Any guide is useless if you live in a rural area. Pokemon won't spawn and your only choice for leveling is grinding on those 3-4 pokestops. They should fix it, because I heard some people have to visit towns and cities just to catch anything. They are literaly paying for transport just to take a peek into the gameplay! No doubt, it's no fun when everyone else are at lv 20 and you are stuck on 5.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE I am not from NA so I know almost nothing about Reggie. I would assume that the Japanese CEOs have the most to say while the rest has to follow the orders.
@msvt I think they used to write 2 separate reviews for EU and NA regions (especially if there was a difference in the release date). Not sure if they are still doing the double reviews but I know they did.
@TheHumbleFellow @SLIGEACH_EIRE "Nintendo has made it abundantly clear that they're not leaving the console business anytime soon." They also made it abundantly clear that they won't jump into free-to-play and mobile gaming. Business is business; Nintendo can do whatever it wants as long as it gains profit. And the biggest changes are made by small, unoticeable stepts. Pokemon Go can clear the path for more cheap f-t-p mobile games from Nintendo. But the profit and exposure can help Nintendo survive and provide the quality games on their systems. Nintendo can lure mobile gamers into the true experience on their systems. Go may end as a double edged sword that can start the Nintendo Mobile Games renaissance. Of course, there is a possibility that the microtransaction idea would be too tempting... Imagine Zelda as a paid subscription service with lots, lots timed items and weapons to purchase... Or, that Nintendo will still won't learn and will keep providing us apps like Miitomo which hardly get any attention and its access is denied from like half of the word.
@Lunarsickness Do you have any source for that? If that's true it may be worth getting after all... If they include the compability with NX as well, because 3DS and WiiU generation is going to be definitely a no-no soon.
When the servers will be closed down, this piece will be useless, those people are aware of that, right?
The Plus thingy could be useful if a) it was cheaper, b) the app itself would work. I cannot even launch the game because it freezes (or force restart the device) most of the time, and when it does work - the servers are down. I know I'm not in the supported region (that wasn't suprising...), but c'mon this is lousy testing here. Crashing, freezing, not recording taps? It looks like an early beta to me. For the amount of money they want for Plus, it should unlock like all the items for you or give you some in game bonuses, sigh. It's just a bluetooth dongle with puffed price. Tamagotchi can do better stuff with IRDA.
@rjejr You may want move on 3DS. Seeing the comment I think there will be more games than on Wii U (I don't own WiiU so I may be wrong); Pokemon, EO and MH - that's more positive.
@BranJ0 I think it's also because there aren't many Japanese visual novels in the West. In Japan they have them in dozens but here, when one comes out, and when it's good, it gonna grab some attention.
Profesor Layton Movie? As a full lenght 90-120 minutes movie? On 3DS? Interesting. But I'm afraid I won't have enough space on my SD card for it, sigh...
@Anti-Matter According to various topics on the internet, Tomodachi Life's English accent differs between US/EU. If Teddy uses the same speech sync as Tomodachi life, I judge from this, that your Teddy would have different accent than mine.
@Barbiegurl777 Aww. Well, the last, final, option is finding someone with a hacked console and ask them to do it for you or purchase already low firmware 3DS with the hax installed. I think it's better than buying and importing a foregin system just for one game. The shipping will cost you too, you know. But if you have more European games you would like to play (I recall you wanted a Hello Kitty game?), and if you do have the money, then it may be indeed better to import the system.
@Vegaphil They don't look like that thanks to the Sugi's official-art style. Nobody said that gen 1-2 had the best designs. But yes I do think the 1-2 pokemon has different style. Different enough to place a line between 1-2 and 3 and onwards.
If you got a team of designers to work on your monsters, instead of a single man, it's clear that you will get different designs, different from Ken's desings at least.
That's why you employ the designers afterall - to keep the freshness and diversity and to not to burn out the main designer.
One swallow does not a summer make - one zigzag teeth does not make correlation to Girafarig's tail, it's more like a design detail, similarly to Sigilyph or (still haven't memorized the name) that angry mongoose. Similarly like spots on Azumarill belly doesn't correlate to Bruxish spots. Design choice.
While the same exact faces on mutiple gen 1-2 pokemon cannot be denied. Some pokemon bodyshapes are copy-paste forms in those two gens.
I get the idea behind those new pokemon and the creators did the work right. Sharp angles in triangles serves well for a cool electric bug for example.
@Vegaphil Ken is just drawing the stuff the other designers came up with (and even he can't get it right). I doubt he is still in the leading position of designing the monsters though he may be responsible for few. If not him and his unifying official-art style, most of those would look like from few different franchises (gens 1-2 for example share the same ideas and designs to the point that some pokemon faces repeats on different species - lazy or not, limited artistic skills or not, but it was clear they came from one mind or at least went through one mind before they ended as official monsters).
@Anti-Matter if there will be USA version you will get the same Mii accent as in your US Tomodachi Life. Europe has the English voices with british accent.
@Barbiegurl777 I would recommend patience - there is a chance that they may release the game several months later - in 2017 perhaps? But if you really want to play the game, then I heard Homebrew Launcher had an app that is allowing to play games from different regions - that would mean you just need an original PAL game. That will require to install a hax tho, not sure if you can do it now, after the update.
@AlexOlney That's just marketing. There's a better part: they are advertising it the same way in my country. Problem: the game isn't in my language I'm not even sure if the young kids will be able to learn the proper English spelling with this speech synch: they will just tap random things and memorize what does what, and maybe learn a foregin word or two. I'm positive that watching English cartoons will do more good for them and that's a pity because the game is totally missing the point of being released here. With the multilanguage Europe, USA seems to be a better choice.

Without GO, Plus cannot be used further, as I assume it won't store in game 'save' data (exluding maybe data signed to a player - Google account etc, to forbid trading and borrowing the piece between two people). Therefore, if GO will go out of the business, so will GO Plus.
The compability between main series and GO is more likely to happen and I won't deny that, especially after hearing Masuda's translated words. I guess it will only work as some kind of ingame bonuses and maybe even a pokemon transfer (as Nintendo is very picky and censoring with Pokemon series on their devices).

Re: Guide: Advanced Pokémon GO Capture Tips And How To Get Better Pokéballs
I found a big flaw in GO. Any guide is useless if you live in a rural area. Pokemon won't spawn and your only choice for leveling is grinding on those 3-4 pokestops. They should fix it, because I heard some people have to visit towns and cities just to catch anything. They are literaly paying for transport just to take a peek into the gameplay! No doubt, it's no fun when everyone else are at lv 20 and you are stuck on 5.
Re: Pokémon GO Plus Wearable Already Selling For Over $100, Despite Not Being Released Yet
@SLIGEACH_EIRE I am not from NA so I know almost nothing about Reggie. I would assume that the Japanese CEOs have the most to say while the rest has to follow the orders.
Re: Review: BOXBOXBOY! (3DS eShop)
@msvt I think they used to write 2 separate reviews for EU and NA regions (especially if there was a difference in the release date). Not sure if they are still doing the double reviews but I know they did.

IMPOSSIBRU! You can't play 3DS in full sun
Re: Pokémon GO Plus Wearable Already Selling For Over $100, Despite Not Being Released Yet
@TheHumbleFellow @SLIGEACH_EIRE "Nintendo has made it abundantly clear that they're not leaving the console business anytime soon."
They also made it abundantly clear that they won't jump into free-to-play and mobile gaming.
Business is business; Nintendo can do whatever it wants as long as it gains profit. And the biggest changes are made by small, unoticeable stepts.
Pokemon Go can clear the path for more cheap f-t-p mobile games from Nintendo. But the profit and exposure can help Nintendo survive and provide the quality games on their systems. Nintendo can lure mobile gamers into the true experience on their systems. Go may end as a double edged sword that can start the Nintendo Mobile Games renaissance.
Of course, there is a possibility that the microtransaction idea would be too tempting... Imagine Zelda as a paid subscription service with lots, lots timed items and weapons to purchase...
Or, that Nintendo will still won't learn and will keep providing us apps like Miitomo which hardly get any attention and its access is denied from like half of the word.
Re: Pokémon GO Plus Wearable Already Selling For Over $100, Despite Not Being Released Yet
@Lunarsickness Do you have any source for that? If that's true it may be worth getting after all... If they include the compability with NX as well, because 3DS and WiiU generation is going to be definitely a no-no soon.
Re: Pokémon GO Plus Wearable Already Selling For Over $100, Despite Not Being Released Yet
When the servers will be closed down, this piece will be useless, those people are aware of that, right?
The Plus thingy could be useful if a) it was cheaper, b) the app itself would work. I cannot even launch the game because it freezes (or force restart the device) most of the time, and when it does work - the servers are down. I know I'm not in the supported region (that wasn't suprising...), but c'mon this is lousy testing here. Crashing, freezing, not recording taps? It looks like an early beta to me.
For the amount of money they want for Plus, it should unlock like all the items for you or give you some in game bonuses, sigh. It's just a bluetooth dongle with puffed price. Tamagotchi can do better stuff with IRDA.
Re: Monster Hunter Stories Gets Three Shiny New amiibo Figures
@rjejr You may want move on 3DS. Seeing the comment I think there will be more games than on Wii U (I don't own WiiU so I may be wrong); Pokemon, EO and MH - that's more positive.
Re: Meet Salandit, The Latest New Pocket Monster in Pokémon Sun and Moon
This pokemon is fantastic, in my opinion. A bit weird, but I think it's the best from the bunch.
Re: Zero Time Dilemma Makes Modest Debut in Japanese Charts as Shovel Knight Digs Into Top 20
@BranJ0 I think it's also because there aren't many Japanese visual novels in the West. In Japan they have them in dozens but here, when one comes out, and when it's good, it gonna grab some attention.
Re: Nintendo Download: 7th July (Europe)
Profesor Layton Movie? As a full lenght 90-120 minutes movie? On 3DS? Interesting. But I'm afraid I won't have enough space on my SD card for it, sigh...

Re: Video: Learn How To Care For A Stuffed Toy In This Charming Teddy Together Trailer
@Anti-Matter According to various topics on the internet, Tomodachi Life's English accent differs between US/EU. If Teddy uses the same speech sync as Tomodachi life, I judge from this, that your Teddy would have different accent than mine.
@Barbiegurl777 Aww. Well, the last, final, option is finding someone with a hacked console and ask them to do it for you or purchase already low firmware 3DS with the hax installed. I think it's better than buying and importing a foregin system just for one game. The shipping will cost you too, you know.
But if you have more European games you would like to play (I recall you wanted a Hello Kitty game?), and if you do have the money, then it may be indeed better to import the system.
Re: Seven New Pokémon Revealed for Pokémon Sun and Moon
@Vegaphil They don't look like that thanks to the Sugi's official-art style. Nobody said that gen 1-2 had the best designs. But yes I do think the 1-2 pokemon has different style. Different enough to place a line between 1-2 and 3 and onwards.
If you got a team of designers to work on your monsters, instead of a single man, it's clear that you will get different designs, different from Ken's desings at least.
That's why you employ the designers afterall - to keep the freshness and diversity and to not to burn out the main designer.
One swallow does not a summer make - one zigzag teeth does not make correlation to Girafarig's tail, it's more like a design detail, similarly to Sigilyph or (still haven't memorized the name) that angry mongoose. Similarly like spots on Azumarill belly doesn't correlate to Bruxish spots. Design choice.
While the same exact faces on mutiple gen 1-2 pokemon cannot be denied. Some pokemon bodyshapes are copy-paste forms in those two gens.
I get the idea behind those new pokemon and the creators did the work right. Sharp angles in triangles serves well for a cool electric bug for example.
Re: Seven New Pokémon Revealed for Pokémon Sun and Moon
@Vegaphil Ken is just drawing the stuff the other designers came up with (and even he can't get it right). I doubt he is still in the leading position of designing the monsters though he may be responsible for few.
If not him and his unifying official-art style, most of those would look like from few different franchises (gens 1-2 for example share the same ideas and designs to the point that some pokemon faces repeats on different species - lazy or not, limited artistic skills or not, but it was clear they came from one mind or at least went through one mind before they ended as official monsters).
Re: Video: Learn How To Care For A Stuffed Toy In This Charming Teddy Together Trailer
@Anti-Matter if there will be USA version you will get the same Mii accent as in your US Tomodachi Life. Europe has the English voices with british accent.
@Barbiegurl777 I would recommend patience - there is a chance that they may release the game several months later - in 2017 perhaps? But if you really want to play the game, then I heard Homebrew Launcher had an app that is allowing to play games from different regions - that would mean you just need an original PAL game. That will require to install a hax tho, not sure if you can do it now, after the update.
@AlexOlney That's just marketing. There's a better part: they are advertising it the same way in my country. Problem: the game isn't in my language I'm not even sure if the young kids will be able to learn the proper English spelling with this speech synch: they will just tap random things and memorize what does what, and maybe learn a foregin word or two. I'm positive that watching English cartoons will do more good for them and that's a pity because the game is totally missing the point of being released here. With the multilanguage Europe, USA seems to be a better choice.
