Sort by recently obtained, and you should see hatched eggs.

The problem is that the game engine does a gakky job of tracking distance travelled and applying it to the eggs.

I had searched through it for a while, they really didn't hatch into anything.

Both times however it happened when the eggs went to hatch but that bug with the power saver where you can't interact with the game happens causing me to restart the app to find the egg just gone. Was annoying, but somewhat avoidable.

I dunno. I had 2 eggs hatch last night, a 10k and a 2k. My phone locked up, of course, and I had to restart. But I had a 818 Electabuzz and a Caterpie as my newest animals.

Nice, I guess I just had bad luck.

Sorry. Better luck on the next ones.

Downloaded it a week ago, but only just last night figured out how to get the app to work with my GPS, so a late starter here.

Lvl 5, caught about 30 so far. Got my first egg, a 10km at that (wife is jealous).

Recommend you wait until you're level 15+ before hatching that 10km egg...

If you use dust to keep it on par with your level it shouldn't matter.

After the last update hatched Pokemon should be listed in the journal now.

So, our Team Leaders are going to tell us how to fight better at the Gyms in the coming update?? Awesome.


Assuming the update makes its way to Android...

Except people have stopped playing. Which tracks the reduced posting in this thread.

Niantic did an amazing job of pissing off their player base.

All free games do the same, I expect. Get in quick to get the character names registered, then go back to it occasionally once the new-game-smell has subsided.

I drop by once a day when at home, to see if anything new appears (Mr Mime was silhouetted for a while).
But, I'm on Ingress now instead.

I haven't been able to log in since Sunday night. Not sure why. Screen just has the little ball going round and round untilt he screen saver kicks in or I stop it.

My phone is in an otter box and I am guessing that causes the gps for PMG's purpose act wonky and have heard they are banning people who don't have a steady GPS signal.

Otterbox should be OK for GPS, as it is made for use outdoors.
I think the servers are just busy. I get the swirly-ball most of the time now.

I was at epcot two weeks ago and I was constantly having to restart my phone to get the game to load and even then it was sketchy. It was evening and not super crowded. Really annoying since there were pokespots flipping everywhere.

My co workers have no issues logging on even from the same room I am in. I know I was always having a No GPS signal warning pop up no matter where I was.

Not this quickly, though. Most freemium games aren't nearly as Nintendo-like anti-player progress.

PoGo slows leveling down by vastly increasing XP requirements *and* vastly decreasing player capability in game. The 10 CP Pidgey that was an auto-capture at level 1 now likely takes several times more effort, and even has a chance to run away. Total BS there.

If the XP goes up hugely, fine. I've played games where you had to literally double ALL of the XP you'd earned from 1-99 to get to 100. But at 99, I could far more easily farm junk animals, even if they gave less XP per catch. If the high CP animals are hard to catch? Fine. If rares are harder to catch? Fine. Big, special monsters should be hard to catch.

But making junk animals hard to catch? At all? That's BS. It's profoundly unsatisfying, and a big reason that I don't enjoy playing the game any more.

The GPS and no login don't help, either.

I never stopped playing, I just quit posting because everyone else did. And because I don't feel like gaking on the game which is what the last page or two kinda devolved into.

It's way too early to be declaring Pokemon GO officially dead because they had a perfectly normal drop-off of users after the initial hype died down and the bandwagon-jumpers left because Pokemon wasn't the new, exciting thing anymore. Personally I don't think the situation is that dire, and I've been seeing articles and videos on YouTube that seem to suggest as much. 10-12 million sounds like a big, scary number, and disgruntled players are latching on to that, but if anything they're still doing better than expected, and the drop-off is not incomparable to what happened to other popular mobile games a month after release. Niantic has some work ahead of them, but Pokemon GO definitely has staying power if they do it right.

Yeah, and they're still adding useful features. The upgraded transfer/candy milling button makes the best of a tedious mechanic and the new appraisal feature is a lot better than nothing. If you're really serious about having the single best Pokemon you can possibly get you'll still want a third party app or site, but IVs have pretty much always been that way. At least now there's a decent built in option for a quick check.

Plus unless they delay it I think we're supposed to get Jhoto stuff in December right? Plus trainer battles and trading or at least one of those things?

I like the appraisal feature. It gives you a good way of knowing if you have a Pokemon worth investing in or not at a glance, without just straight-up telling you what it's exact IV's are, and if used in conjunction with Poke Assistant it's much easier to figure out what the exact IV's are, since the team leader's messages help narrow it down quite a bit, since sometimes you would get such a large range of possibilities it was really hard to tell which one was yours.

And yeah, trading/battling are supposedly coming, new pokestop modules are supposed to be coming, and Gen 2 I heard might even be out quicker than originally expected, so it could be December or even earlier than that. The game still needs a lot of work, there are still bugs and other stupid things that need fixing but it does seem like Niantic is listening to people. They also fixed it so that getting nice/great/excellent throws reward the appropriate experience again.

If they will only let me play again lol

Yeah, that reminds me of something else I don't like: people with legit accounts being banned. Either their GPS is buggy and Niantic bans them for "spoofing" (sometimes my avatar just runs all over the place for no reason...I was sitting at my computer checking IVs when I got the message that I was driving too fast, for example), or they have a strong Pokemon defending a gym and donkey-cave players report them for botting/hacking. I've seen some people online saying they only stick stuff like Magikarps in gyms anymore for that very reason, because some players will see a Dragonite and report you for it just to spite you.

Which is another thing, I can't believe how many fething douchebags play this game. I've almost thought about quitting a couple of times because of people taking the "friendly" team rivalry too far.

Yeh I keep about 6 pokemon between something like 10-40cp just for putting on gyms. 28cp Pinser is the best ever.

But in good news I managed to find a Porygon as I got to work yesterday which was really cool after seeing the same old stuff over and over again for a while now.

I've quit posting as well just because there isn't that much to say. Still playing everyday.

I think the reason there are so many jerks is that there are so many players

Sigh I got like 400 pokeballs and nothing cool to throw them at around here.

I didn't even know you could 'report' someone!

So...there are Griefers in Pokemon GO?!?

Sheesh!

Supposedly if someone gets hit from 3 different reports they get autobanned- i haven't seen any reliable sources confirm that though.

Well you can roll up to where some people are training/beating/whatevering a gym and after they level it up you can just pop one of your own guys in there even though they did all the work. Rude maneuver and it's to your own team but people still do it, some maybe even unintentionally.

I don't actually see that as a problem/big deal, unless I'm missing something?

So you'd be ok with spending several minutes or potentially more as the gym gets tougher in order to place your own guy (so you can later redeem your daily defense bonus giving coins otherwise bought for actual dollars based on your number of active defenders) and then someone else just wanders by and nonchalantly capitalizes on your hard work? At which point you'd have to train the gym even More to open up another spot?

I mean it's not like slashing someone's tires but its still a rude thing to do.

Are you sure that's what's going on?

And aren't they 'on your team' anyway?

And can't you only put one of your own Pokemon in a gym?

Unless I'm misunderstanding here and you're talking about someone swooping in and putting their own Pokemon in *before* you can put one in?

In which case, yes, that's totally not cool!

The gyms can only be so many defenders based on their level and in order to put more in there you have to fight your own friendly gym over and over nuking your battery and not catching any more dudes or balls. It can be a pretty good time sink especially if you're trying to put strong defenders in the gym because you'll then have to beat those again to make it even tougher.

Yah sorry that's what I mean you do the work and they just cruise by dropping into what should be your slot. You'll be off the screen and probably needing to heal your dude before you can place him so there's a vulnerable lag of time.

If someone from another team is taking your gym you can almost always capture it from neutral before they can add their own guy but that's team v team and I'd consider it fair play albeit annoying. But stealing a hard earned spot from your own team is lame even if it's not prohibited in any way.
