Re: Pokemon go
P.S. They also need to fix the damn tracking and radar, I spent about an hour trying to catch a ghastly with no luck. Did get a nidoking and a dewgong though
My coworker told me that the GPS signal currently is completely bonkers. At least here in Austria, all Pokemon nearby
always show "three feet distance", no matter what you do. According to that same coworker (at least for Europe I guess), this big bug has been announced to be taken care of the latest as of August 1st.
On a sidenote:
I finally got myself my very first smartphone! Hooray! It took me some fiddeling with nano-sized cards and logging in/registrating on various providers pages, but finally, for the first time, I breathe smartphone air. Woooooow~! Second app I ever installed on a smartphone: Pokemon GO!
Not even being a trainer for 24 hours yet, I think I can confirm super_slicer's comment regarding the chance and rarity of Pokemon popping up.
Well, it seems to be based of the amount of cellular activity in an area as to how many and exactly how rare pokemon found are.
In the morning hours - shortly after my smartphone and I were set - I took a "short walk" (felt like 30min, actually was 1 1/2 hours
*POKEMON MAGIC*) around my town, and bumped into what I expected to bump into: basic, non-super worm and insect Pokemon (even though my Pokemon knowledge is ooooold from the '90s). In those 90 minutes, I used a lucky egg and that fog/smoke twice, leading to 60min of most effective strolling. And while the experience points earning was surely appreciated, I didn't stumble upon anything special nor into quite an amount of Pokemon, and mostly it was the same basic ones over and over again.
However today, I took my smartphone to work for the first time. I didn't have the game running during work, as I'm quite pragmatic regarding "first work, then fun". But when I took a short break along with two coworkers, I walked out of the office building for a few meters, and
instantly three different Pokemon - all unknown to me - popped up. And a lot more Pokemon kept popping up during this one day at the office. And back at my hometown, there's almost
nothing showing up.
Seeing how probably half my company now is hunting Pokemon, I do think that slicer's theory of "the more, the merrier" is true, as Pokemon showed up constantly at work, while at my hometown, there's almost no activity at all.
