So is it the right strategy to transfer all the weaker similar pokemons? or should I keep some?

I hope someone that is more into the game can answer this, because I am interested in knowing that too. (ed: transfering lower CP pokemon)

I was checking the lower CP pokemons and they had different attacks with more damage if I understood that correctly.

If I get a weaker duplicate I would transfer them regardless of their attack power but that is just me though. The point of transferring them is to get the candy to level up/evolve.

Doing this has got me 115 Pidgey candy and now if I catch about 5 Pidgey's and use a lucky egg I can evolve all of them and get double XP for it.

I walk my dog every day, and the transition of my local park/forest this week from just myself and a few other regulars to loads of people playing Pokemon go has been crazy. There are two Gyms and 5 poke stops on my regular dog walk, and it's great seeing people who would never normally be out enjoying the area (and catching thousands of pidgeys)

If I wanted to play a proper Pokemon game (I've never played a proper game before as i was too old for the original release of the series) but now I'm interested in trying one out, what would be the best one?

For me the best one is Firered/Leafgreen as it is easy to get into and it contains the gen 1 pokemon (the game is easy to obtain as well). But others will have a different opinion no doubt.

The most recent ones. Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby.
Only because the mechanics have changed from previous gens so it's best to play it if you want to keep on playing the newer releases.

I've heard X/Y are the best single player ones for 3DS so far

(But I'm no expert)

FireRed/LeafGreen and HeartGold/SoulSilver are considered the best

Any of the new 3ds ones are good but my all time favorite (and I've been playing since Day 1) is HeartGold for DS.

Not really, as as i remember they were pretty short, easy and lacked any endgame content

I haven't played the Ruby/Sapphire remake but i heard they were a tad better than X/Y

Found a 1480 CP Charizard

Berry, Ultra Ball, freeze

I try to restart, but it gets stuck at loading, so I close and reopen the app a few times

I enter the game and engage again, I throw berries and ultraballs again and after a couple times it freezes again

I restart the app and engage Charizard again, I throw a berry and an ultraball, but it flees

sad life

Can you stack lures on a location? There's a restaurant at 4 AM EST hooked up with lures and I have no idea why that would be the case considering they close at 9 PM. I'm half assuming it's just people trying to pull more robbing schemes.

Just discovered that my couch is within range of a poke stop. So far I've gotten 2 eggs and 15-20 poke balls just by watching TV

I caught an Abra today. I got super excited considering Allakazam is problem one of my favorite gen 1 Pokemon. I then realized I'm likely never going to catch the 35 or so Abra I need to evolve one and much less however many I'd need to catch to level one fully. While I live in a city of about 150000 people I live in a pretty empty side of town. I'd basically have to go in the car do a 20 min drive to get anywhere with lures active. That's super impractical for me. I have some really a used like 500 Pidgey candy. It would be cool if there was some way to exchange one type of candy for another that way at least people living in less busy places to get the more rare stuff.

So at what point people consider a Pokemon to be worthwhile and even "good"? Do you just compare CPs? Attack power? Potential to evolve and get stronger?

I love this so far, but shit's so confusing to me when to decide what to keep and work on and what to send away.

1. Near max cp arc
2. Anything that's super effective against water

The dream is Dragonite but not everyone is blessed.

Just started playing this.

A few questions:
- Apparently, the point of catching multiple Pokemon of the same kind is to acquire species-specific candy, which is required to evolve it. Is this correct?
- After catching one, there is a "Send" button at the bottom of the stats view. What does it do?
- I have four Pokemon and three eggs, but the header of the Pokemon list says "7/250". So I guess the eggs are already included in the Pokemon count? Huh.

Thunder's 1 long bar but I'm hoping Quick Attack with Pika's speed fills it... quickly.

So I left my local library for 20 minutes to take out a Level 9 Valor gym a block away.

I come back and apparently I missed a Dragonite who came because of the Lures.


GAF I'm killing myself tonight.

So how long will it take before they add gen 2 Pokémons?

At the end of this summer?
At the end of this year?
Never?

Because it's al very fun right now, but I can believe that within three to four weeks if you don't have any new Pokémon added the hype will die

I'd say end of the year at the earliest, but what do I know.
